Reviews frequently mention thorough inspections, careful sealing of gaps and entry points, and clear communication with photos. Several customers highlight professional and courteous technicians and effective follow-up visits. A recurring concern is limited appointment availability, with some wait times of about one to two weeks extending project timelines.

Technicians are nice, though their thoroughness has varied so I’ve had to book multiple jobs to completely seal my apartment.

A major downside is that their availability is extremely limited, so be prepared to have to wait 1-2 weeks at minimum to get help each time. This has drawn out the process to 1.5 months now and I wish I had gone with another company with more availability to squash this sooner. I don’t like living with mice.

Johnny came for an initial inspection and estimate. He was thorough and professional. We were able to get the team in a week later. Brian ran that team and did they did great work addressing the entry points and sealing them up while laying traps to clear out the rest of the rodents.

Very happy with the service. They did a great job sealing up gap and holes where rodents could enter as well as setting traps. There follow up is excellent as well as there communication. Everyone we interacted with was very professional.

The alley cat crew was highly professional, very kind and thorough. From inspection to communication to physical work, I deeply appreciate the rat abatement work they did in my garage. Don’t hesitate to use this crew. This was the most pleasant work with a contractor of any sort I’ve had in the last 25 years of home ownership. Thank you, AC!

12/11 update, though I was initially super impressed with this company my admiration has been replaced with disappointment. Technicians all are kind and seem to know what they are doing. I’ve needed follow up service (to be expected) Office is difficult to get a hold of. Tech did not arrive within the two hour window, though I had received a message two hours before I left the house to say technician was in their way. After two and a half hours of waiting with no message and no one picking up calls in the office I left my house. Communication could use significant improvement.

Called Alley Car after hearing scratching in my attic for weeks and I honestly wish id called sooner. They walked me through exactly where the rats were getting in and even showed pictures so I understood what was going on. The traps were set up neatly, they sealed entry points and came back for a follow up without needing me to remind them. It feels great to have a quiet and peaceful house again.

Most projects involve an inspection visit followed by a scheduled service day to seal entry points and place traps. Follow-up visits may occur to confirm activity has stopped. Actual timing depends on scheduling availability and the complexity of the property.

Exclusion services typically prioritize sealing and trapping to address current activity. If alternatives are recommended, they are discussed with the property owner, including any considerations for pets and safety.
