I was referred to WCS by the pest management company I normally use since they don’t deal with squirrels in the attic. This was one of the best referrals I’ve ever gotten! Tim from WCS arrived within 24 hours. He did a very thorough inspection of the attic spaces - even got into the hard-to-access part of the attic over the original part of the house. Tim is VERY knowledgeable, answered all my questions and was even willing to share insights on dealing with attic mice that I didn’t realize were present. He did a very thorough evaluation of the exterior of the house to identify any points of entry. In doing so, he also secured aluminum fascia and vinyl siding that had come loose over the past 21 years - all without being asked and all without charging a penny more. Since the squirrels had apparently vacated the soffit area prior to Tim’s arrival, he installed 2 traps at the point of access/egress - one to capture squirrels exiting and one to capture any that may try to re-enter. None were captured and Tim sealed the opening with aluminum. He was just great to deal with and I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

New customer, and received excellent service from Joe and his team. Very knowledgeable, experienced, and customer-focused. We had an urgent situation with animals getting into the house that drove me and my family from our home. WCS were very accommodating, rearranging their schedule to fit us in ASAP because of the nature of our need. Delivered an excellent service at a reasonable price and the team was very professional, informative, and a pleasure to work with. We had several others come out... highest marks to Joe and his team at Wildlife Control Specialists.

Fantastic. Attic was inspected to determine ingress and egress routes. Report was sent to us indicating work needed and price. Then trap was set in most frequent route and all other possibilities were sealed. 11 squirrels were captured over two days and relocated. After a week of no activity, trap was removed and that route was sealed. We highly recommend this company.

I was very impressed with the level of service. My call was returned the same day and a technician came to my house the following day. For several days the interior of my house had smelled very strongly of animal urine (I have no pets) and it seemed to be originating from the crawl space. The crawl space at my house is fairly disgusting. It is very shallow in spots and is difficult to move around in. The technician, Tim, did a thorough search of the crawl space. He also checked the interior of the house. He carefully explained to me what he found -- and didn't find. It turned out there were no signs of active animal incursion. The potential cause of the odor problem was poor ventilation. During the unusual cool spell we had in late August-September, I had plugged up the vent openings to the crawl space; normally I would not had done that so early in the season. Removing the material obstructing the crawl space vents seems to have remedied the problem. I very much respect the technician's honesty and the thorough way he investigated ever possibility. He patiently answered my many questions about wildlife encounters. And in the end, I did not receive a bill! I am a past customer. I previously sought help from Wildlife Control Specialist LLC to take care of a problem with bats in my house. That was a few years ago. To this day I haven't had any more bat issues. I respect Wildlife Control Specialist's integrity and competence. I would definitely use them again.

The guys (Joe, Matt, Tim and Sam) were all great. Very personable and friendly, and extremely flexible. We needed scaffolding put up for them, and the company handling that was not very reliable with their schedule. They guys were very accommodating and just rearranged their own schedules to come when it was ready. They worked long and hard to plug all the many areas, over a couple days time, leaving bat doors for them to escape. It seemed the problem was gone, but a few months later there was a small colony starting up again, and the guys came right back out to re-address. Believe me, this was no small job, and re-routing these bats, who are creatures of habit and often return to their familiar roost was quite a feat. The guys came out a couple more times and made sure the problem was completely gone. I almost can't believe that they really got all the bats to leave, but they did. It was nothing short of a miracle. And to top it off, these guys were so professional and informative, a total pleasure to work with and VERY REASONABLY PRICED. I just could not recommend more highly.
Description of Work: We had a huge bat infestation in a very large converted barn. We must have contacted 6 different pest control companies and they either couldn't handle the job because the barn was so big or they just didn't give us good answers. A couple people came out and never got back to us, a couple gave proposals and the information just didn't seem right. We were at our wits end when we somehow found Wildlife Control Specialists. Right from the beginning they set us at ease and gave us all the right information and answers. They spend a good deal of time surveying the property, and identified that we had a colony of well over 200 bats living in the roofline. We knew it was bad, since they've been roosting there for years, but it had grown to the point where we could hear them in the walls and they were frequently getting into the house.

After hiring a few pest control companies that claimed they could eliminate the bats in our attic and having the bats return, I found the listing for Wildlife Control Specialists on Angie's list. After reading all the reviews, I called Joe, who explained in great detail everything you would ever need to know about bats and how they specialized in handling the problem. Tim came out to the house in January and explained the process and then went up on the roof and identified every possible entry point and documented them with photos which he showed me. He then explained that they would be back in the Spring to patch all but a few holes to give the bats an exit from the attic through installed one way bat tunnels, and after a few weeks would come back to seal the remaining exits. I was supplied with a detailed proposal with photos of all the potential entry points and a detailed description of the work that would be done. Tim was here for hours making sure everything was sealed. He was great to deal with and I even got to meet his 4 legged helper - Yaal who made herself at home in our yard. For anyone who has a bat problem, don't waste your time of money on hiring anyone other than Wildlife Control Specialists.

We spoke to Joe. He indicated to us that the reptile may not be a snake as if it were a snake then, it might have gone back into its place of hibernation and it might be a waste of my money - as they may not find something there. He assured us that the snakes in our part of NJ are non-poisonous and gave us a couple of tips to look for around the area - and if we did find a trace then, we could call him. And we did find something and gave a call right back in about 30 mins. Joe was apparently driving somewhere else to cover some errands but, he was kind enough to turn around and stop at our home in a very short time. When he did reach the spot and to the reptile, it was far too innocuous than a snake. We were really touched by his sensitivity to our concerns from younger ones at our home. We sincerely appreciate his act of kindness and help in putting our minds at peace. True Good Samaritan !!

Although my wife and I haven't used their services yet, I had the pleasure of speaking with Joe who really took the time to not only answer all of my questions and alleviate our concerns about the possibility of bats living in our walls, but it was apparent to me right away of his level of knowledge and complete honesty. If anyone is having wildlife related issues with their home, I would highly recommend giving them a call to schedule a visit.

Response from Wildlife Control Specialist LLC
We utilize a Contact Management software program where we log every interaction we have with every person who contacts us including voice mail messages. When a voice mail message from a potential customer is received the first thing we do is open a new record which includes first name, last name, physical address, e-mail address and phone number. In addition, in the notes section of the record we include the message which was left for us. Then utilizing this information we reach out to make contact with the sender. We are very disciplined with logging information into this system and over the last 9 years have opened records on 8,724 individuals who have contacted us. After reading this review, I checked our Contact Management database and discovered that we have no record of ever receiving a call from this person and/or anyone living at her address.

The guys from Wildlife Control Specialists were phenomenal. They came out to the house right away, did an inspection (we didn't originally know if it was racoons or squirrels or something else), and took pictures. They explained what they thought would be necessary and walked me through every step of the process. They worked fast, clean, and effectively - the racoons were out by the end of the week. They were always friendly, courteous, and respectful. I can't say enough about what a good job these guys do. They are outstanding and I would highly recommend them for any wildlife situation you need addressed.

I would highly recommend this company. Every person I spoke with was very knowledgeable, accomodating and understanding. They were able to come out for the initial inspection the day after I called and got back to me within 24 hours with a cost estimate. The work was completed within 2 weeks of being given an estimate. The bats were removed safely and I was assured that the problem is solved. I was also provided with a 2 year warranty so if the bats return I will be able to call them and they will remedy the situation. Their workmanship is impeccable. You would never know that work had been done along the crevices of my roof. The peace of mind that I have been given is immeasurable. Dealing with this company has been an absolute pleasure.

Called Wildlife Control Specialist, LLC. Tim, the Vice President of Operations, came to my home early the next day. Tim did a through review and analysis and not only spoke to me about what he found but also provided a detailed report, including pictures, of the problem. Tim corrected the problem and bats did not reappear. However, this year bats appeared in another area of my home. Called Wildlife and reported the problem. Tim appeared once again and corrected the problem. There was no charge for the follow up call. I strongly recommend Wildlife Control should you encounter any pest issues; as a first call. There are extremely courteous and knowledgeable. The work is first class. Try them you won't be disappointed, believe me.

I recommend Wildlife Control Specialists. They were responsive and enjoyable to work with. The traps were effective, and I was happy that they could make several roof repairs at the same time. Tim provided our service and was pleasant and knowledgeable. It was important to my wife that the animals be released safely, and Tim handled the captured animals with care and assured her they would be safe. We had squirrels in the attic. Tim set traps on the roof to capture the squirrel as it tried to reenter the house through the attic fan. He came over promptly when we notified him the squirrel was caught. He determined that the squirrel was lactating and came back the next day to find and remove 6 baby squirrels that were nesting in the insulation. He replaced the screen mesh around the attic fan with sturdier wire grid. He also photoed missing shingles on the peak of my roof, and areas of rot around vent pipes. The company offered a separate service to repair the roof, which makes a lot of sense. He also set up traps to capture a ground hog. The ground hog was persistent and dug around the cage the first time, and the company came back to set wire mesh around the hole to force the ground hog to exit into the trap. The ground hog was eventually caught, and the company came promptly to remove him when we notified them. They also filled 4 burrow entrances with concrete to stop another animal from using the burrow.

These guys did a great job! I was thinking it would be a miracle to catch one of the four groundhogs that had lived under the sunroom of my house for years now, but they caught the first one within two days, and all four of them within a couple of weeks. Matt, one of the co-owners, is like an animal expert - he set up the traps and the temporary fencing around my sunroom to give them no other way out but into the cages. I was amazed at how he took a look around and figured out very quickly how to resolve this problem. Joe, another owner, also came out once and you can tell that he also is a consummate professional. He came out to get one of these animals on a Sunday, which also happened to be Father's Day. Experience really is the key here. I called other companies before I decided on Wildlife Control Specialist, and I'm so glad I chose wisely. You can't go wrong with this company!

Very impressed and very glad I worked with Wildlife Control Specialists to take care of my bat problem. I was ready to hear the worst, dire news after the inspection; instead, I was reassured by the specialist, Tim, that my bat problem was manageable and not uncommon. There was no high pressure pitch or gloomy warnings. Tim took all in stride and was very calm and cheerful about the whole thing. When I rec'd my estimate a few days after the inspection, I had no second thoughts about getting more quotes - I went with Wildlife Control Specialists. The work was neat and tidy, with no overly noticeable signs that I had a bat exclusion done to my house. After 3 weeks, the job was complete (bats can get out thru the 'one way door', but cannot get back in). I'm also glad that the whole experience centered on humane handling of wildlife, much as I was creeped out knowing that bats were roosting in my chimney. Everyone I spoke to was very professional and knowledgeable - from the owner, who called me back w/in 24 hours (and on a holiday weekend) to schedule an appointment - to Tim, whom I grilled with questions at the inspection, and calmly reassured me not to worry. I had done my bat research, and knew everything Tim said was correct. I also appreciate the 2 year warranty on the project. In short, the work performed was neat and thorough, with no overly noticeable signs that I had a bat exclusion done to my house. After 3 weeks, the job was complete (bats can get out thru the 'one way door', but cannot get back in). I'm also glad that the whole experience centered on humane handling of wildlife, much as I was creeped out knowing that bats were roosting in my chimney. I would recommend Wildlife Control Specialists to anyone who likes wild animals, just not in the house. I could not be more pleased.

We were very impressed by how knowledgeable this team was. Aside from the excellent job they did with the bat removal from our attic, they clearly had expertise in anything and everything related to wildlife, which was demonstrated through their ability to identify animal droppings and fur on the property. Communication was refreshingly professional and prompt, the proposal was detailed, and service was friendly and courteous. Although they were among the more expensive quotes for this service, we went with them because they clearly know what they are doing when it comes to wildlife. They also had a more extensive warranty than the other places we looked into, were appropriately licensed and wildlife certified, and were able to demonstrate their knowledge and experience. Also, they are local to us, so it felt great to be able to support a local family business!
