About Pest Pointers
Hey there! I’m Zack DeAngelis, the creator of Pest Pointers. I grew up on over 50+ acres of pastures, woods, and a freshwater bass pond in an area of Upstate, NY where dealing with wildlife pests is a common occurrence. I love all things outdoors, gardening and landscaping – which I want to share that passion as much as I can.
I’ve had my share of run-ins with pests and wildlife (yes, including our dog getting sprayed by skunks a few times… what fun!) My goal is to help those with pest issues solve their problems in a way that’s effective, natural (when possible), and beneficial both for them and the environment. Preventing a pest problem is the best way to solve one!
Thanks for supporting Pest Pointers and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions! If you do have an active pest issue, please contact a local service near you.
