Black Thumb Wildlife LLC

unknown

He was awesome, everything got done regularly with no mess and no problems. He was professional and friendly and he really knew his trade well.

I originally thought it went well- Black Thumb closed the entry the raccoons had made into the attic, and made sure there were no raccoons left there. I received a copy of a letter from Black Thumb to the sellers saying raccoons had been removed and attic "sterilized". I assumed that meant feces removed but called Black Thumb just to make sure. Imagine my horror when they told me they had LEFT THE PILES OF FECES in the attic and just sprayed them with disinfectant. Nuff said.

Still underway, but so far, 50% success rate. Yesterday, my dog got a baby raccoon which was shuffling around in the backyard. It got away from her and ran up a tree, which is when she discovered the second baby raccoon. I love raccoons, but I can't have the dog and baby raccoons sharing the same backyard, so I called in Jay, at the recommendation of St. Francis Wildlife Rescue. Jay was calm, professional, and very knowledgeable about critters. He and his assistant kept expressing great concern for the baby raccoon -- they did not want to hurt him getting him out of the tree. This is why I didn't just call an exterminator. I didn't want the raccoon dead, just not in my yard. Eventually, they got the baby out of the tree without harm and will take him to St. Francis for rehabbing and then it will be rehomed in the forest somewhere, where it belongs. The second baby we were not as fortunate with, so Jay set some traps and checks back on the traps every other day or so. I was delighted with these guys, their care and consideration for the critters, their knowledge about animals, and the friendly professionalism both guys showed. Because there's a lot of urban critters in this town, I suspect I will be calling Black Thumb a lot in the future. I recommend you do too.

Blackthumb did a great job for us removing possums from under the house. Jay even came out to the house multiple times during Christmas week to check traps for us. He and his assistant Ryan did an outstanding job for us. They are very knowledgable about wildlife and pests, and very careful with homes.
