Animal Removal

About us

NWC Services offers trapping & removal of problem animals around homes & businesses. We also do minor home repairs to prevent future problems once the immediate problem is fixed. State certified as an Animal Damage Control Agent since 2003. A lifelong resident of WNC, a US Army vet, with over 40 yrs in one local BSA Troop. We service all of WNC with our focus upon the Asheville, Hendersonville, Rutherfordton, Tryon, Brevard, & surrounding communities within our area. We follow all local laws & state laws concerning wildlife. We pride ourselves in finding ways to allow people to coexist with wildlife while protecting their homes. We deal in all major wildlife issues as allowed by the state with just a few exceptions. We do not control moles or voles. Nor do we use chemicals to kill any wildlife. We do not do rats or mice. Please contact a pest control company for that type of service. Big game animals such as Deer, Bear, & Turkeys are only dealt with upon the issuance of a state permit to allow us to do so. All other wildlife is dealt with under a different permit. Quite often we are able to help people figure out a way to live with the local wildlife without any trapping or removal. Let us help you solve your nuisance wildlife problems.

GREAT! I called Tyrone to make an appointment. He knew from my description immediately what was going on and spent 30 minutes explaining the actions I would need to take to resolve the problem. Very professional and did not come out when it was not needed. He emphasized education around the forest pests that often vex me. When offered money for his expert advice, he advised me to just call him for service if I ran into another wildlife issue that would need his assistance. Great guy who truly has a willingness to help people.
Description of Work: I wanted him to come over and help me with a rodent that was ruining ornamental plants

Very well. Tyrone walked the perimeter of my house and pointed out areas that animals could access the house through. I also had bats nesting above my garage in shutters that he removed. He is very knowledgeable and professional.

Tyrone Phillips arrived at my house on time and inspected my crawlspace for evidence that an animal was living down there. There were animal feces all over the floor, and the insulation was all torn up. He surmised that a possum may have taken up residence in my crawlspace and set some traps. The next day I found a possum in one of the traps. He charged $115 for the first visit and another $115 to haul the possum away. The total was $240, including everything, which was considerably cheaper than anyone else. Some businesses I contacted wanted to charge $400 or more.
Description of Work: He removed a possum from my crawlspace and relocated it to a wildlife-friendly area many miles away.

Tyrone Phillips is most knowledgeable with regards to animal control. He brought his equipment to catch the snakes went under the deck without hesitation and got the snakes. He has over 20 years of experience. His rate was reasonable and he followed up, and was on time. He can catch about anything you have. On top of this, he is one of the very few that has a license to do this service in North Carolina.
Description of Work: He captured various snakes (copperheads) that were under our deck.

Tyrone was very responsive, personable and punctual. He clearly is very knowledgeable. He found no evidence of bats and made a recommendation of an area to seal off, which we did. I asked several times if he would look in the attic and he said by eyeballing the outside of the house he can tell what's going on. I let it go but then called him the next day to say I would feel more comfortable it he took a peak in the attic the next time he was in our area. He agreed to do so and said if could be a few weeks before he got there. It's been 6 months and no contact with Tyrone. I now have squirrels in the house, so apparently there were more weak spots than identified. I am no expert but the assessment seemed superficial and the follow up clearly poor.
Description of Work: We had Tyrone inspect our home specifically for bats and also other wildlife problems.

Response from Nuisance Wildlife Control
I made several recommendations of places to seal. I was not hired to do the repairs, & have no knowledge of who did them. My quote for the repairs would have covered any places I may have missed in my initial inspection. Animals such as bats & squirrels must leave a home to search for food. Internal attic inspections are not good indicators of activity as animals can conceal their dens inside walls etc. The request for an internal attic inspection was made after I had completed my inspection. I felt an internal attic inspection was unnecessary. Yet, I did tell the customer I would come back when in their area. They live in an out of the way spot that I rarely go to. I have not had another call in their area since I was at their home. To make a special trip to re-inspect costs me time & money. Plus, a return trip to "peek" into the attic would not have revealed a squirrel issue that has recently appeared. Squirrels make nests in walls, under insulation etc. The customer felt my quote for the repairs was too high, and didn't hire me for the work. I am not responsible for anybody else's work, nor can I prevent a problem 6 months after someone else does any repairs. All too often, homeowners think they can save money by hiring someone without wildlife knowledge to do repairs. This costs more in the long-run, as I have to re-do repairs, and fix things properly. The initial complaint was about bats, and now the problem is squirrels. If I had done the repairs,,, I would have prevented either species from being able to enter the home. To hold me responsible for someone else's work, and for a different animal issue 6 months after my initial inspection to me would seem that a customer is wanting my work for free. I stand behind my work, and since I was not hired to do this job, I feel that the rating is inappropiate. As for the follow-up, if I do get a call in their area,, I will call to see if they are available to have me "peek" in the attic. However, in my professional opinion, getting into an attic will not show me anything other than the possibility of sign where an animal has been. Animals want their dens to be safe & secure. Normally that means not easily found or accessed. To return to inspect for a squirrel issue would require a complete re-inspection which costs money. About 10%-20% of my business comes from doing repair work after a non-professional attempts repairs to prevent animal issues that have failed.

After we purchased the house we found out that there had been squirrels living in the attic for years. They had begun to chew on beams of the attic and the insulation. We had difficulty finding anyone who was licensed to remove them. We found Tyrone Phillips who is licensed to remove animals and who trains others for their licenses. He explained the procedure which required several visits. Since he completed the work there has been no evidence of squirrels in the attic. He was very professional and explained each step of the process as it was completed.
Description of Work: He inspected the house for animal entry points on his first visit. When he returned he closed off the squirrel entry points to the attic, and installed a squirrel excluder. On his third trip, he removed the excluder and sealed up the entry points.
