"Eddie was a true professional; when he called me back, I explained that I had made appointments with two other exterminators to compare rates and services; Eddie was very honest; he asked me to call him back after I met with the other exterminators. I was so impressed he didn't pressure me into taking his service he explained to me that when he comes to my house, he will do a thorough inspection and tell me if he finds any other issues I am not aware of. When Eddie arrived at my house, I took him into the basement. I explained to him I had recently noticed, after a heavy rain storm in the basement, small black bugs against a cement wall. I was concerned that they could be roaches; he inspected the area and told me the dropping I saw against the wall belonged to waterbugs. Eddie inspected another room in the basement and identified carpet bugs. I didn't even know they were in the basement; he also helped me figure out the cross marking on the cement floor were spider webs, but the most shocking discovery of all was the under the kitchen sink cabinets on the first floor had fresh mouse droppings I was shocked I didn't want to believe it. Eddie laid down small red and blue packets of poison in the area and told me to check back in two days. If I see the packets have been bitten, he will come back and lay down additional traps. The pricing was good, and I'm glad I paid a little extra for the 90 warranty. Eddie released a bug bomb in the basement; it took 12 hours to see the effect. He also sprayed an organic mix in other areas of the house that only left the scent of mint behind. Two days later, I checked the basement and swept up 15 dead bugs from various areas. I called Eddie back today; he came, did another inspection, and found the area the mouse was coming from; he laid down more poison packets and glue traps. Eddie is professional, personable, knowledgeable, and cares about every client he encounters. I highly recommend his company's service to everyone."

"I hired this company to remove a squirrel from my attic. Like other reviews have stated, Louis Jr. was always professional and friendly. Louis Sr. on the other hand, is disrespectful and has no professionalism or integrity. He sent me a picture of the work that needed repair on my roof. He told me of all the years of his ?professional experience ? as a roofer. When he did the repair, he said it wasn?t a roof repair, it was a gutter repair, which was NOT what he initially told me. When I asked for pictures of the work done for insurance purposes, he said he would, via text and straight to my face. He never sent the pictures. I followed up several times asking for the pictures to be sent, very politely. After being ignored for a week, I texted and left a follow up voicemail, simply asking what was promised to me. He literally sent me a text response telling me ?he did not like my text, and never to call him for any services again. The nerve!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Beware!"

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.
