Awesome experience. Took care of the problem right away, identified the issues and inspected any other problem areas. Very happy getting rid of a noisy squirrel that moved in above my bedroom.
We had all sorts of critters in our 200 year old home in Nashville. We found Joey on Thumbtack, and he came out the day we called him! He promptly got to work locating all of the entry points to the house for critters, which he eventually properly sealed off. Then, he set traps in strategic locations, and returned after several days and several weeks to inspect and empty. He also cleaned out all of the debris left by animals, such as nests. Joey is also humane, which I love! If he catches a critter on your property, he then takes it to a state park and releases it. Joey worked so hard getting the house secure from critters, and we appreciate him so much! He is experienced at this, and a takes pride in doing an outstanding job! Sally Teloh Lott
Thank you very much for your review Sally. I am happy to help any way I can!

We have been dealing with a mole issue for some time and finally decided to seek professional help. Joey responded to our request quickly, came out and set some traps, and caught 2 moles the first night. He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommend and will definitely call again for any future pest issues.
Showed up when he said. Caught the animal. Boarded the hole. Was an excellent communicator. Fair price. Didn't try to sell a bunch of "extras". He will permanently stay in my rolodex.

Had a gopher under the house causing problems. Called and it was taken care of quickly. He offered suggestions to help stop the return and filled the hole, all for much less than the competition. Will DEFINITELY use them again if I get another critter
