so, there's something in my garage & i don't know what it is. it sounds big, just from all the rustling. i tried to look, but it's behind some things & i can't see it. exterminator time? i've never called one...is this a pricey thing? any suggestions/tips...etc? |

Definitely call for back up. Possum, skunk and ground hog all like garages. |

Do you see poop? That can help identify the type of resident. Does the noise stop when you enter the garage? I'd still call for back-up, but if the noise doesn't stop when you come in, you could be looking at baby somethings and a protective mom. Kevin Williams in Scotch Plains is our exterminator and I find him to be pretty reasonable. I think our rat problem was less than $150. |

Call Jerry at Buckingham Pest Control - Wellesley Road Maplewood - sorry don't have the number to hand. VERY quick, VERY good pricing and very honest, he will not make you pay for something/do something that isn't required. You will probably have to leave a message and shortly after that they will call. I have used them for carpenter ants, termit check,racoons, groundhog and other stuff and recommended them without reservation. Good luck with the critter... |
