Vanguard Wildlife Solutions is a Coventry wildlife removal company, and a rhodeislandcurrent.com article has quoted its co-owner, Liz Frieling, on Rhode Island's common bat species. The company says it serves Rhode Island and Massachusetts. On Google it holds 4.7 stars from 36 ratings. A recent Google customer said a bat got into the house, and Jason, the technician, explained how bats typically enter homes and what needed to be done to prevent it from happening again. That customer said he came out on a weekend, on his day off. A recent Google customer said Rayna set up the appointment, Andy explained the options and provided images of the work to be done, and they appreciated Vanguard's humane practices for rodent removal. A 2022 customer said they had used the company twice for raccoon removal and both times it was at the house the same day. A 2022 customer wrote that the animals turned out to be red squirrels, and that the company installed new traps, caught them and did not kill them. A 2020 customer said the company could not find a snake in the shed the first day, then came back the next day and caught a rat snake. Price is the sore spot for some. A recent Google customer said they spent more than $800 and, to their knowledge, nothing was caught. A recent Google customer said the quote was more than twice a competitor's, and an email about the lower price got no reply. A 2022 customer called the company very helpful but pricey.
“Liz Frieling, co-owner of Vanguard Wildlife Solutions, a pest removal specialist in Coventry, who is not involved with the DCYF response, said the little brown bat and the big brown bat are Rhode Island’s two most common bat species”
Professional and I’m sure they know what they’re doing, but I spent an exorbitant amount of money ($800+) and to my knowledge, caught nothing. I did know that this was a possibility, but now I’m trying to catch a groundhog on my own as he or his family members switched burrows. Not good value for my money sadly. I only stuck with it because of the larger amount of money you pay just for the quote for when they come out. :(
Do yourself a favor and get some competitive pricing. They gave us a quote more than 2x a reliable competitor for whom we also had a reliable reference. The competitor did a great job for less than half the price. I emailed this company, let them know about the much better price, and they didn't even bother to respond.
We had a bat get into our house and needed help figuring out how it got in, getting it out, and making sure the house was properly protected. Vanguard Wildlife Solutions is fantastic - they responded quickly and made the whole process easy. Jason, the technician that came to my house, took the time to explain how bats typically enter homes, how one could have made its way from our attic into the living space, and what needed to be done to prevent it from happening again. I really appreciated how thorough and knowledgeable he was throughout the process. A special thank you to Jason, who went above and beyond by coming out on a weekend, even though it was his day off, to make sure we were taken care of. That kind of commitment to customers really stands out. The work was excellent, and we now have peace of mind knowing our home is bat-free and properly sealed. I would absolutely recommend Vanguard Wildlife Solutions to anyone dealing with a bat problem.
I am exceptionally grateful for the efficient, professional, and supportive work of the Vanguard Wildlife Solutions team. Rayna responded promptly and with ease for creating our appointment and answering questions. Andy made a friendly, clear explanation of my options and provided us with images of the work to be done. On the date of the service, his team handled all of the work without disturbance and with great care. I would highly recommend them, especially after a positive referral from a well-known area company's suggestion. You hope that you never rodent removal services, but the humane and responsible practices of Vanguard was greatly appreciated.
They have been fantastic! The squirrels living inside my porch are no match to them! I am so grateful for their work and excellent customer service.
