"The work was excellent. Will came for the estimate and was very polite and kind. He explained the process to me and answered my questions. Fortunately, whatever was in my attic vacated before Will arrived so I was able to proceed with repairs without fear of trapping any unfortunate critters inside my attic. All of the work was unobtrusive and remained outside. J.P. and Austin were the ones that did the repairs. I was very happy with the end results! They too were both very kind and polite and addressed all of my questions. For both appointments (estimate and repair), the technicians were on time. They worked very efficiently too. I was very happy that I found a company who could deal with both possible animal removal and the repair of damage caused by animals getting into the attic."

"I had my initial treatment for general pest control as well as mosquito & tick treatment scheduled for Wednesday, 4/28. On Wednesday the tech came out as scheduled as well as a termite inspector. The general pest treatment was done but the mosquito & tick treatment was not. I did not realize this until I received the inspection report the following morning. When I called to inquire as to why it was not performed I was told that the mosquito & tick treatment had been rescheduled to 9am on Friday, 4/30. I was told it might have been due to the weather on 4/28 however it is even documented on my treatment summary that the day was clear with very low wind. In addition I was a little confused as to why I was never informed that the service had been rescheduled. Yesterday I called twice to confirm that a tech would be out this morning however today at 12:15pm when no one had shown up and I had heard nothing I called again. I was told by the person who took my call that they spoke to the service manager and that they would still be out today. I was told that they would be calling me soon to give me an updated time. Nearly 2 hours later I still had not received any call and no tech had arrived so I called again. This time the woman I spoke to said that they probably are not able to perform the service today due to wind and therefore would have to reschedule. Why was I not contacted and told that or at the very least informed of that when I called at 12:15pm? I have now wasted my entire morning and afternoon waiting on them to arrive. I am extremely disappointed in the inconsideration and unprofessionalism to not bother to notify customers when there are changes. As a new customer it makes me very worried that I made the wrong choice in choosing service through them especially after also agreeing to install a termite prevention system with them as well. I really hope that they prove otherwise!"

"I recently called Viking Pest to re-bait my rodent stations in the garage and outside. When they arrived, they refused to do that and told me that since I have a dog, their company policy no longer allows them to. I had the dog when I started service with them. In fact, 2 months prior to their policy change they sold me 2 outdoor bait stations for $75. So basically, they would like me to spend more money and buy into their Smart Rodent technology instead, as their only option claiming it’s safer. If they were offering it at the same cost then that might be an option but it’s not the case. I called multiple times asking for their service manager to call me as I was upset. Each time customer service would say I’d get a call within 48 hours and never did. I guess since Viking is owned by Anticimex a large corporation, they’ve lost sight of customer service. I am very disappointed with Viking Pest, I would not recommend them. If I could give the no stars I would."

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.
