REVIEWS

Rick did a fantastic job with a tricky and ever changing situation with raccoons that were in my home. He got them out with the least damage possible to my house and is going to “racoon proof” my vents and repair some areas on my roof that the raccoon disturbed. He is very patient and understanding and accessible. I highly recommend his services.

Great experience. I highly recommend them as they are fast, courteous and fair. We had a small bird and nest in our wall and the issue was resolved quickly and painlessly.

a bat in the house

Rick was professional & knowledgeable. He actually FIXED the shoddy and potentially DAMAGING “work” (removed spray foam that was unsightly and was lifting brand new shingles and removed spray foam on a brand new ridge vent) of another “animal expert” from the area without charging extra for those services.

Side note: I had to file a formal complaint on this other person, but that is another story. If ANYONE wants to start using spray foam on your home as the only means to “fix” your issue… RUN the other way! PLEASE ASK what their method of remediation is first. I am speaking from first hand experience. I have pictures to back up all that I am saying.

Rick then proceeded to communicate with me regularly about his findings & plan, shared with me a DETAILED line-item bid, and came out to complete the work in various steps, rechecking at different times in order to ensure that the bats were indeed out. He started his process last September and JUST checked back yesterday.

I cannot say enough positive things about his professionalism & effectiveness. SIDE NOT: TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU… certain “5 star rated businesses” in the same field are absolutely not 5 star & likely have false ratings. I can attest to that.

Rick at Tall Timber is a stand up guy and is deserving of this rating.

If I could give more stars I would. He was the only one that actually listened and took me seriously when I thought I had a rattlesnake in my house. I called the Game Commission. They told me I had to call the Fish and Boat Commission. The Fish and Boat Commission didn’t answer the phone but had a message to call 911. I called 911 and they said to call the Game Commission.

I ended up calling Tall Timber and he listened to my concern. Rick asked why I thought it was a rattlesnake and then came over to look. Once Rick got here, he explained that it is unusual for Greensburg to get a rattlesnake but he looked for it nonetheless.  When Rick discovered the pizza oven timer turning on and off on its own, he showed me and did not laugh at me until I laughed at myself. I highly recommend Tall Timber’s services!

Tall Timber Wildlife Services showed up just 2 days after I reached out Rick walked me through the process of how he was going to get rid of the raccoons and the pricing so there were no surprises. 

He came back the next day with a taller ladder since my chimney is super-tall. He prayed the fluids to get rid of the raccoons and set up cameras facing the chimney in the front and back. He wanted to make certain they were gone.

Then he came back about a week later to check the cameras to see if they were gone. He sent me a video of them leaving on the second day. He even left the cameras there days later to be certain they did not come back. 

I will 100% be recommending Rick to anyone I know has similar problems. He made my stressful situation stressless as soon as he was involved. Four chimney raccoons are gone

~Dakota B.

Rick was fantastic! I found him after Terminix had messed things up and I ended up with a family of raccoons and some bats in my ceiling. Rick explained everything easily, knew what he was doing, and always provided great communication! I can unequivocally recommend him with no reservations!

~Paul A.

Rick did a beautiful job blocking squirrel entry points and installing a new dryer vent. The price was reasonable and fair. I also appreciate his care for wildlife with humane methods of trapping and relocating. I highly recommend him.

~Jill A.

Rick was the consummate professional: honest, punctual, responsive, and efficient. After running into an unanticipated difficulty that cost him hours, he adhered to his original bid, nonetheless. His work was impeccable in every way. I later had an unrelated questions for him which he promptly answered without hesitation. I could not recommend him more highly.

raccoon kits

Rick was very thorough taking care of our raccoon problem. He made several trips to be sure that the raccoon was gone. He is very knowledgable about wildlife. He also did a great job putting a cap on my chimney.

– Nancy K.

Rick was AWESOME!! He came out immediately, he walked me through the whole process of how the raccoon got in, and how to prevent it from happening again. His prices are incredibly fair, and the service was fantastic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

– Steve H.

This was a great experience. Rick honored his work and was trapped until all the skunks were gone. He came back when it looked like another one had moved in. When offered additional money, Rick stated that he honors his word and finished the job. I highly recommend him.

– Jim S.

Rick was very helpful and professional. His service was affordable. He did a very thorough search in finding what animal was making sounds in the walls of my old house. I wanted to call a local pest control service so I knew contracted people would be coming into my home.

little brown bat

Rick was fantastic! We awoke to a horrendous order in our home. Tall Timber was referred to us by another exterminator who was not able to service us until the next afternoon. Tall Timber Wildlife Services were here within a half hour of our call.

They were extremely thorough and found the dead critter that was causing the odor. They also made numerous recommendations as to how to protect our home from future nasty pests. We would use Rick from Tall Timber Wildlife Services again and recommend him to anyone with rodent problems. Thanks, Rick!

There is nothing quite like stepping into the hallway on a 3 AM sojourn to the bathroom and having a winged creature swooping down at you. Or walking down the stairs, only to find that the oddly textured thing you just stepped on is flying off into the living room.

Since we moved here two years ago, we have had a few instances of bats getting into the house(including the two situations above). For two years we have called many different professionals to prevent it from reoccurring. None of them have been as helpful, cost-effective, or proficient as Rick from Tall Timber.

He quickly found problem areas that were ignored or glossed over by others we’ve hired and went the extra mile to check extremely hard-to-see or reach areas. He didn’t take advantage of my inexperience, and he actually taught me quite a bit about what to look for.

I 100% recommend Tall Timber Wildlife Services.

I would highly recommend Tall Timber Wildlife Services to everyone who is having a critter problem.  I bought a mobile home in a very nice park and had no idea I had a groundhog community living underneath.  Called Rick, and he came out.  He was very helpful and professional.  He removed all seven of them!  Very affordable.  Gave me information on how seal up the holes.

I recently had Rick come back out for another critter problem in the belly of the home, as “something” had ripped open a hole!  Rick did a very thorough search and found out whatever it was is definitely gone.  He gave me a recommendation on what to do to keep it from returning.

Again, I would highly recommend Rick to take care of all your critter problems.  I will definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

Great service, Rick came right away, set the trap for the groundhog under our patio and a few days later, caught it and reset the trap again to insure there weren’t any others. Would highly recommend his expertise. Very reasonably priced.

  – Karen M.

The owner is a stand-up guy! If you have a problem, he’ll be able to take care of it. He took care of all the bats I had in my attic in no time!

  – Brett T.

Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Our raccoon problem is now a thing of the past. Highly recommend them to everyone with critter problems!
