An entire family of possums was removed over the span of a week. They checked in daily to remove the creatures and reset bait until they were all gone.

Jerry did a great job trapping the raccoon. He clearly explained the entire process and his pricing before starting work. He quickly identified how the raccoon gained entry to my attic and he successfully trapped it. He also checked for babies by cutting a small hole in my bedroom ceiling. (I repaired the hole myself.) Additionally, he provided me with guidance on how to avoid similar problems in the future. Jerry was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He even emailed me pictures of the situation as I was on a business trip when he performed some of the work.

Jerry came out to trap the mother then remove the babies (6 total) from the wall behind a shower the following day. He was very thorough and got the job done in a minimal amount of time. Also gave a lot of tips to prevent future intrusions.
Description of Work: Had a raccoon with babies that got in through the attic and into a plumbing wall.

Jerry has been very informative throughout this ordeal. The skunk den is under a cement slab under our deck. Our powder room exhaust fan vents out under the deck. The skunk smell has been getting into our home. Jerry recommended a certain air freshener and air purifier as well as to leave front windows open and keep fan running. Jerry has been great about coming to our home as promised and removing the skunks. He determined that we had 2 other access points. Jerry set 2 additional traps. There is a fee per skunk removal which is lower cost than other comparable companies. He is super responsive, friendly, and informative. His We recommend Jerry!
Description of Work: Jerry came out and assessed where traps needed to be placed to catch skunks. He set trap one at the access point. He believed we had a den of skunks living under deck due to it being mating season. Over the past 2 weeks Jerry has caught 8 skunks for us. He has come back to set traps at different access points.

Description of Work: Squirrels in the attic. |Initially, I was pleased. Nuisance showed up promptly, set traps, advised me that after the squirrels had been trapped, I should trim a tree near the house to keep the problem from reoccurring and that they would put a temporary plastic blockade in the hole - if there were more squirrels, they'd get through the blockade and we'd know there was still a problem. After some time, they would permanently cover the hole. |Phase 2 went well - they trapped 2 squirrels. After some time and no further activity in the traps, I was advised to go ahead and trim the tree, which I did. |My problem is with the lack of followup on Phase 3 - no one ever showed up to put the temporary blockade in place so we could assure there were no more squirrels in the attic. |We've heard more skittering in the attic recently, and in spite of the fact that no followup was done on their part to assure the attic was free of varmints, I was told it's my problem - that it's a new infestation and it'll cost an additional charge to trap them. |It could in fact be a new infestation - although it is unlikely they are accessing the roof via the tree that was trimmed - but I'll never know for sure because Nuisance didn't follow through on the last step like they said they would. I am not happy, and would not use Nuisance again.

Response from Nuisance Wildlife Control & Trapping Services
Squirrels were accessing customers roof via a river birch tree. I advised customer that unless he did something about his tree issue the problem would keep occurring. Several squirrels were trapped and removed , Cust followed suggestion and trimmed the tree. A friend handed Mr. [Member Name Removed] a business card and told Mr. [Member Name Removed] he would be happy to repair hole squirrels made in facia, once squirrels were removed . 2 months later I get a call from Mr. [Member Name Removed] about scurrying noises in attic. He either did not trim his trees correctly or he is hearing mice in his attic and nothing else . There is no way that squirrels were left in his attic for 2 moths without being able have access to food and water. His memory of the facts is questionable ! As I had a witness to the entire conversation .

Contacted the provider and it was the most pleasant & honest conversation I've had for some time. I explained my situation, he listened to it and made some suggestions to correct the problem. When I asked if he could do the job, he very politely declined due to the amount of commitments he had already. I wish that other providers would be as straight forward and honest as he was. Did not try to be pushy; instead he answered all my questions honestly and declined the opportunity. Would I call him for another job in the future? Absolutely! I appreciate honesty and willing to help-type attitude as opposed to someone trying to get my business no matter what.

I called provider 3 weeks ago and left a detailed message because I have a raccoon ripping my attic apart. He never returned the call (his website states calls are typically returned within 1 hour). I called again today and left another detailed message, PLUS I sent the same message via his website contact form. This time he did call back within an hour. He acknowledged my call of 3 weeks and said I was "one of many" callers that he couldn't get back to because he was so busy with work, had so many clients needing skunk removals right now, and was working so much he just didn't have time. He then told me that he feels bad, for me and many others, but he's not taking any new business this spring. I suggested he put a note on his website stating as much so people like me wouldn't waste our time, and he replied, and I quote, "Nope. I'm not going there. Sorry I can't help you, good luck." I've now lost 3 weeks and the raccoon is going to have babies pretty soon, up in my attic. I fully understand "too busy to take on new clients." He's probably very good at what he does, and I'm happy for him that he is so gainfully employed. I just don't appreciate my phone call for help being ignored like that. I'm leaving this review so others looking for help this spring won't waste time waiting for this company to respond.
Description of Work: Failed to return my phone call and message requesting help for 3 weeks.

Response from Nuisance Wildlife Control & Trapping Services
Anyone that would wait 3 weeks for someone to get back to them with a raccoon living inside the attic / walls is silly ! This woman mentioned she had hired another trapper for squirrel issues prior . I sensed she was unhappy with that person / company . Although she could have called him / them back or someone else in the meantime , Instead of waiting 3 weeks . I apologized for being unable to get back to her . Sour Grapes ! I dont owe this woman anything but that apology ! I can't imagine someone like this leaving this kind of review , when I never did any work for her . I am glad I did not . Sour Grapes !! Her story did not make much sense in the first place .

I had a dead skunk in a window well and Jerry came out the same day I called and removed it. He also sanitized the window well. I would definitely use him again, but I hope I don't have to.
