Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Clay's Wildlife & Pest Services describes itself as a small, owner operated wildlife removal and pest control company. A recent customer said Bruce inspected a summer home where bats and mice had been getting into the eaves, recommended closing small openings and completed the work; on returning, the customer found no further sign of pests. A customer using the quarterly pest control service said scheduled treatments happened as expected and unexpected incursions received a quick response. A recent customer at Cold Spring Farm reported a large decrease in pests after work by Bruce and Scott, naming rats, mice, ants, ladybugs, cluster flies, hornets, wasps and flying squirrels. That customer said getting onto the calendar could take a wait. A 2023 customer said Bruce removed squirrels from the attic, sealed their entry points and that the problem had not returned. A 2022 customer said Bruce got bats to leave the attic and returned to clean up. A 2022 customer using quarterly service for mice said there were significantly fewer within a month and the problem felt under control by the second checkup. A 2024 customer said Bruce called within about an hour of an emailed quote request, fitted in a wasp and hornet treatment, and no wasps or hornets were present when the customer returned home. A 2021 customer said Bruce inspected the roof and foundation, set traps, and returned to empty them and seal an opening; when scratching returned two years later, he fitted in a visit and resealed the opening under warranty. **Strengths:** - Quarterly pest treatment — a customer said visits occurred as scheduled - Attic squirrel exclusion — a 2023 customer said Bruce sealed entry points - Warranty return visit — a 2021 customer said Bruce resealed an opening under warranty ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Clay's Wildlife & Pest Services describes itself as a small, owner operated wildlife removal and pest control company. _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](http://clayswildlifeservices.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Clay's Wildlife & Pest Services is a small owner operated company that guarantees professional, timely and …” - A recent customer said Bruce inspected a summer home with bats and mice entering the eaves, recommended closing openings and completed the work; the customer found no further sign of pests on returning. _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tKalZVbHpjMnhaYldwc1JqaDNRMnByTlhNd01WRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xfd4b17106fb291bd!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkJjVUlzc2xZbWpsRjh3Q2prNXMwMVE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ We had a problem for years with bats and mice getting into our eaves of our summer home.
