Wildlife Management Services Inc

They are always timely, and professional. Exceptional customer service as usual. They come out as scheduled, so we don't even have to think about it anymore. Highly recommend their services. Rollie

Great service. Responsive. Good communication.

Excellent job! Came back regularly to pick up live traps

I loved that they were willing to be careful with the baby squirrels they found in what I thought was a giant sparrow nest. Did a good careful job screening off my roof brackets. And very very friendly.

WMS did a great job eliminating two unwanted raccoons in our attic. Kesha handle the project professionally and kept my wife and I informed through out the whole process.

Checked a couple of different places as I wanted the flying squirrels in my attic to leave, but not be killed. The other places I called all trapped them and then humanely(?) exterminated them. Wildlife Management Svcs used an excluder and the squirrels left in a couple of days. It's a little more work, but we feel a lot better for it. We really enjoy the little critters, but only when they are outside. WMS plugged up the hole they made and haven't heard the squirrels since.

I've had many years of dealing with squirrels in my attic. I decided to call in the experts "Wildlife Mgmt". I'm glad I finally did so I can use my attic. Matt and Scott were very professional, explained the pronblem and returned many times to make sure they were gone. They came right out when some crafty squirrels were trying to return even in a snow storm. This is the company I will always use if those rascals want to visit.

Not reputable, did not follow through with services. We scheduled Wildlife Management Services to come to our home to take care of mice and spiders around our property. They sent out an employee that said he was not qualified to set traps or spray pesticide. He told me he would do an inspection, which took him 20minutes and he filled one hole outside; then he said we would receive a estimate for the necessary services. We were charged over $450 for this inspection. When we called to ask why we did not receive the agreed upon services (set up for mice removal and spray for spiders), they proceeded to say we need to pay for the inspection and they now refuse to service our property. *We could have done the inspection ourselves - there are mice droppings = we have mice; there are spider webs and spiders = we have spiders. (To note, we are returning customers who already paid over $800 for snake removal earlier in the season). Poor communication and service, we have had better services from other pest removal companies.

Great! They called me back quickly after my initial phone call. They scheduled the date of service. On the date of service, an employee texted me to tell him me he was on the way. He arrived on time. I was afraid he would have to go in the attic even though it was a hot day. Luckily, he didn’t have to go in the attic. He could tell we had mice in the attic and he found the hole they were coming in. He patched it up and was on his way. We paid the bill online and that went smoothly. We would hire them again.

We have used Wildlife Management for years and have always found them to be reliable and highly professional.

excellent. they are still trapping the squirrels then will to the work to keep them out of the walls.

Perfect. Wayne matched to metal to the house color and did a great job on the repairs. The price was a little high but it was difficult job that most other people did not want to do.

The technician was very well qualified, did a thorough inspection, and created a comprehensive remediation plan.

Matt did an excellent job. He’s extremely knowledgeable and friendly! He was able to capture 6 squirrels and then sealed up the entryway they chewed into. I highly recommend them!

Outstanding! Matt was the tech that provided the service on our house. He was friendly, professional and did a great job explaining what the process would be. He is an awesome example of true customer interaction and delivered a top-notch experience! Thank you for taking care of our situation! Jefferson

We have had a 15+ year relationship with Wildlife Management, they have been fantastic to work with. Both regular maintenance and the occasional spot project has been great. Definitely recommend to any home owner! Start with an inspection, they really know their business.

We called WMS on Monday, after two birds (which we initially thought were woodpeckers) had pecked their way into our cedar siding over the weekend. (We knew woodpeckers were a protected species, but we hoped to fill the hole and hang new deterrents to keep them away.) Their rep came on Tuesday, immediately saw that the birds were nuthatches and told us there was nothing he could do because the birds were also a protected species and were starting to carry in nesting materials. I expressed immediate fears regarding the damage and potential danger, since the birds were right up against the sheetrock in our bedroom and we could hear them pecking at the inside wall near electrical wires and insulation. This is where we would give WMS a zero if we could: upon hearing my concerns, *rather than giving me the advice that I should call Fish and Wildlife for guidance on legal solutions*, he told me that I would need to let the birds build their nest, lay their eggs, let the hatchlings grow, and then they would leave – a process that would take 6-8 weeks. He described this cycle in great detail, and even mentioned that we might see some of our insulation around the yard, but “things looked okay now.” He said he could come back after that and fill the hole. I told him that I understood WMS couldn’t do anything, but that I could not believe we were just stuck with the situation - he just nodded and agreed that it was a difficult situation. Again, he never mentioned anything about the fact that the DNR does offer homeowners support. We continued to talk about my concerns as he walked back to his truck. Only at the end did he say, somewhat exasperated, “well if they were woodpeckers you might try calling Fish and Wildlife, but with nuthatches I doubt they will let you do anything” – and he left. Distressed about ongoing noise, damage, and potential fire, we immediately looked up information on the Minnesota DNR website. They have a whole page for homeowners, along with listed contacts to find “safe, legal solutions” to protect property from migratory birds. I couldn’t believe that WMS had not mentioned this right away! We called and were connected to both a district conservation officer and ornithologist. They said they would “never recommend to a homeowner to allow a wild animal to continue to live in your home” and stated it was dangerous for both the birds and homeowners. They assured us we had the right to protect our home, and they provided immediate, legal guidance on how to manage the problem. We found another professional to help us complete those steps within a day, i.e. the birds are safe and no longer in our home (the DNR reps even said the professionals we hired could call them directly with questions, if needed). We share this review to help other homeowners avoid catastrophe. To reiterate, our problem with WMS is not their strict adherence to migratory bird laws - we respect that professionalism. Our concern is that the technician, who stated he had 15 years of experience, acted as an authority and made it seem that we had no legal options to manage the situation (e.g. he went into great detail about what we could expect to see in the next few months as they nested, hatched, and raised their fledglings in our wall!). It is simply not true, and quite frankly, dangerous to suggest we needed to allow the birds to nest and hatch babies inside our home. WMS should immediately direct homeowners to the DNR/ Fish and Wildlife to learn about safe, legal options, especially if it’s clear the homeowner is fearful about the situation. Had we just "trusted" their advice to let the birds stay, and given their years of service, I bet many people do, who knows what damages may have occurred?

They charged me $400 dollars to tell me for another $1000 they could hang some more sparkly things from my house (I already had some bird deterrent devices) Guy was here 15 minutes - so his annual hourly rate is pushing $1,600/hr. Nice gig if you can get it I guess.

Exceptionally well! The team was very responsive and set a time to meet asap. Wayne was extremely knowledgable, explained the services well, and delivered on all follow up commitments. We were VERY pleased with the service from the entire team and would recommend them in a heart beat.

It wasn't found so nothing had to be done. However their professional, Felipe, was a great and courteous individual.

It went great, Matt was professional and performed a thorough review of the house identifying numerous areas where mice were potentially entering my home.

We had a single bat removal from our home. They came same day and it was taken care of quickly. And they took the bat to the University of Minnesota to test for rabies. I have confidence they can handle any wildlife issue professionally.

They charged us $390.00 just to come out and out some paper in the hole to see if there were more squirrels. There weren’t. We had to call them to come back and check. They gave us a time and we’re 4 hours late. The guy only came because I called and asked if they were ever coming. Then they gave us a contract that reads that they are not responsible for leaks that occur after they fix areas!! We canceled. Do yourself a favor and get a professional.

As others said, way overpriced for the services performed. Worker was here for exactly 30min and the cost was $400. Used half a tube of caulk to seal one possible entry point, then showed other possible entry points. I should have read more into the details. I assumed they would at least treat for the mice or do something more for that cost. My recommendation would be to walk around your house with a tube of caulk and some backer rod and fill any possible holes yourself. Place some traps with peanut butter. If that doesn't work, Then call another company that gives a free estimate so you can actually discuss the details of their service before being locked into $400 for basically an estimate of further work. Which was an additional $200.

Called on Monday concerned about mice in my basement and Matt came out the very next day to inspect house perimeter and close up one entryway. He also put out bait traps near possible additional entry points around the foundation to decrease mice population. I will contact again to talk about sealing up other entry points if possible.
