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.
We have had nightmare issues with multiple rodents under our house destroying ductwork, etc. Joey is the third professional to come out. The first two were highly reputable....and terrible. I began to lose hope in finding a good rodent control person. Not anymore. Don’t waste your time with anyone else. Joey is the best. Honest, thorough, extremely affordable. He’s genuinely more interested in solving your problem permanently before taking your money.

Can’t say enough great things about Halker’s Wildlife Control! Absolutely the best! Very professional and responsive - excellent communication about the process and each step - and ultimately successful removal of four squirrels from the attic. Not only that, he provided a review of our entire property and suggested other preventative mitigation steps that were helpful. Joey is great to work with and very knowledgeable - inspires confidence in his work. Would 100% hire him again, and recommend him without any reservation!!
Thank you Amy! Appreciate your feedback and happy to help
