RI, MA EHS Pest Control Blog

We arrived at a long standing and frantic client's home 45 minutes after she placed the emergency call of a nest of rats in her backyard lawn. We removed the thin layer of grass covering the shallow impression and were pleased that she did not have rats after all! We discovered six of the cutest baby bunnies you could imagine.

These Eastern Cottontail rabbit kits were very healthy. We follow the rule to leave wild animals alone. The homeowner has seen rabbits occasionally over the past three years and will keep an eye in this young family and report back to us on their progress. At EHS, we like to help people (and bunnies) and it shows!

We never get tired of saying this, but the pest control industry is never short on funny, weird, interesting, disgusting, fascinating, etc. stories. Hence the popularity of our blog!

I took a call from a out of breath, noticeably upset, and frantic customer who had a wild squirrel running around her house. Needless to say she wanted immediate advice on how to get it out. I suggested she open all the doors & windows then monitor the situation to see if it left. I told her to call me back with an update & if it still did not leave then we would dispatch a specialist.

She called back 15min later to say the squirrel bolted right out the front door. I was curious but I also wanted to make sure there were no issues on how the squirrel got in so I asked “Do you know how it got in?” Much calmer & laughing hysterically she said I know exactly how it got in…..

“Our family got our Christmas tree last night and since it was late we left it on the back deck until today. I brought the tree in the house and a squirrel leaped out of it. I screamed at the top of my lungs HOLY S##**! and nearly had a heart attack! I am sure that if the squirrel could talk his reaction would have been the same as mine!”

There you go, another zany pest control story….certainly more to come.
