Hey all,

So heres a question for you, I've never really had to deal with pest control before but it appears that some Pigeons (rats with wings) have made a home in a vent on the side of my house.

Its the vent that the Microwave exhausts through.

Heres the kicker: Its about 30 feet in the air and my house is on a hill so its not just a matter of putting a ladder up and evicting them as the grade is fairly steep, if you put a ladder against the house one leg of it is going to be about a foot or more in the air and theres nothing on the side of the house to anchor the ladder to and unlike my distant Cousin 'Super Dave' acts of daring stupidity are not my speciality

I need a service that has a scissor-lift or something that can get the birds out and replace the outdoor vent cover.

Ultimately, a service or someone who has the equipment and experience to do this. So...not me.

This isnt something that I want to do on my own, but I have no idea who to call since the Ghostbusters appear to have placed my number on an ignore list, so recommendations are appreciated.
