Family owned pest control company. Rodent proofing homes,businesses and buildings (residential and commercial).

"Excellent. Very professional, clean, thorough. Left a few traps in the crawl space and was confident nothing else was under there but came back to check since there was no longer a way for any animal to get out since they did such a fantastic job rodent proofing every opening of the house."

Our products are 100% LOCAL, PURE, RAW and UNFILTERED. - History - Established in 2013 Attending Cal Poly State University located in San Luis Obispo, California I enrolled in a beekeeping class due to its relativity to my major, Agricultural Environmental Plant Sciences with a concentration in Greenhouse Nursery Plant Production. During this introduction to the world of beekeeping I became fascinated in every aspect of the life of bees and the people who tend to them called apiarist. With support from my teacher, Scott Jeffery's and many other friends and family I decided beekeeping is what made me passionate, loving the unknown of what was behind a buzzing wall in someones home as I began a hive removal, reaching into beach ball sized swarms of bees coxing them into their new home or educating children at schools why bees are an essential part of our ecosystem. Bee Friendly Honey has now served hundreds of customers since March of 2013. In the future I hope Bee Friendly Honey can help you in your time of need, just remember, Be Happy, Be Healthy, Bee Friendly Honey - Meet the Business Owner: Steven H. - Ever since I was a young boy I can remember lifting up stones, wood logs, bricks, pavers, anything that might conceal some type of bug or animal. As I grew older my room became filled with terrariums and aquariums that brought the natural world I so craved to be in right inside my home. The glass enclosures teaming with sound and life, sharing secrets that only the most observant entomologist could decipher. I grew up, wondering if there was ever going to be a way for me to keep learning from the most wonderful teacher I'd ever had, nature herself. During this exposure to nature I also developed a green thumb nursing plants back to life and growing new and exotic ones from seeds and cuttings. This is when I decided to attend Cal Poly State University, studying plants and flowers that grew with the vigor of my imagination. Then one day working in the flowers i saw a honey bee, my eyes lit up as I realized I had finally found a way to follow my heart, and be one with the bees..

I was taught this business at an early age by my stepfather and after working in and out of the industry for many years decided to start a business. I first started with a partner in Sacramento (where I lived for a short while, home town is Santa Cruz), we founded Blizzard Pest Management, Inc. Then 4 years ago I moved back to Santa Cruz and established Haderle Pest Control because I knew there was a great need for real solutions to the many recurrent raccoon, skunk, and rat problems here. Birds, bats, and ants are an occasional invader but it seems those former three pose a challenging problem to many pest control companies not experienced with them.

"Overall Jon Haderle was, at first, a pleasure to work with. He was pleasant during our inspection and provided a reasonable quote for the services to be performed. He came one afternoon to begin the project. Said he would return Saturday to complete it and never showed. Has not returned multiple calls or emails. We made the mistake of paying him after the first time he came out and the was a mistake. He has not completed the work, so we've reached out to our bank and have filed a fraud complaint. Avoid the headache and find someone reliable!"

Animal removal services FAQs

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems. 

Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.

Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:

  • Bats

  • Birds

  • Groundhogs

  • Moles and voles

  • Opossums

  • Mice and rats

  • Raccoons

  • Skunks

  • Squirrels

The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area. 

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400

This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
