"I received a call instantly after looking on Angi's list and scheduled an estimate. Although I gave 4 stars for price, it's only because everything is So expensive. Nick was extremely responsive to text when we continued to have bats inside. We went with the full house removal as suggested originally. Luckily no more bats and the 1 year guarantee is piece of mind. I would highly recommend them. Very professional."

Welcome to JMB Construction & Rodent Control! Jonathan has many years of experience. He works fast and efficiently while always putting the customer first. He specializes in rodent and wildlife control. Please do not hesitate to give them a call, you will not regret! Thank you!

"Jon was nice enough to deal with but the limited amount of time that he spent, the amount of work involved and the products needed, nowhere near justified the $1,800.00 fee. He visited the house on 8/15, came back on 8/19 and was completed on 8/29, with a total of 90 minutes on the job. I have had bats return twice since his service was completed. The first time, he recommended I open the windows to let the bat out. The second time was this past Thursday night and I was told he would try and fit me in and I have yet to hear back. I don't like leaving negative reviews but I really dislike feeling like I paid way, way too much for the limited time involved and to not have the problem resolved."

Award winning. Owner operated. We have a team of seven and have certified commercial applicators out in the field as well as in the office.

"Accurate Pest Control goes above and beyond. They are honest, dependable and knowledgeable. Their skill set is much more than just pest control. I had a porch attached to the back part of my house that ended up causing water damage to my living area. They were able to tear down the back porch that was beyond repair from sitting unrepaired. They contained the damaged and molded area while work was in progress for the health and safety of my son and I, which I am beyond thankful for!! Removed the mold and water damaged material with ease. They reframed the interior and exterior living room wall and door with the highest quality of workmanship. I will use them for all my home needs and recommend you do too! You won't be disappointed. Darren, Brent, Todd and Josok are all a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything! Victoria"

Family owned and operated company with over 15 years in the trade. I was personally trained year-round in South Carolina by a master chimney sweep that had over twenty eight years of experience in the business. Don't get burned by your chimney!!! Trust a TRAINED professional, not some fly by night that claims to be a chimney sweep. Did you know that a chimney without a flue cap gets the same amount of rain inside the smoke chamber and smoke shelf area during a rain storm as a five gallon bucket would placed outside without a lid on it? This results in deteroated mortor joints, rusted out dampers, algerins, birds, and odors from mold & mildew. Adam J. Hanlon

"Everything went great. Adam was a great guy and worked around my schedule (weekends). He stopped by for an inspection and cleared me to burn wood the winter, no cleaning was needed. He penciled me in for the spring/summer and recommended an upgraded damper to cut down on drafts when not in use. He even looked at the rest of my venting for hot water heater and gas fireplace in the basement. Will use him again for sure."

We have been providing the area since 1992 with new underground pet fences, and service for the Invisible Fence brand systems. We offer the best products, with superior training that we back with a money back guarantee. We have more options, smaller collars for the little dogs and cats, and bigger collars for the more stubborn dogs. We do new installations, as well as work on any brand of pet fencing, including the Invisible Fence brand. Many of our products are compatible with the other brands of pet fencing. We do not have pushy salesmen, and can fit almost any budget.

"I contacted this company almost 2 years ago. The “training” they provide is not training. It’s a piece of paper they give you to train your own dog. My dog is medium sized and he became very nervous and didn’t want to go out. I called several times and after they get your money they don’t care. The put the line in right after winter, but the ground was frozen in the back stil so they told me they would come back and dig when the ground was thawed. They never did. I had to call them and they acted like I was bothering. Then after I finally got my dog ok with going on with the collar he got out the yard a couple of times. I checked the collar and it wasn’t working. I reported this to them and they kept telling me make sure it’s charged. I finally recorded that it was fully charged and not working. He came out a week later and tried to tell me it was the collar and I showed him the video and he rocked the box and it was the box. Use another company please!"

We take pride in resolving a variety of wildlife nuisance you may encounter, whether it is removing bats in your attic or raccoons in your garbage can. As certified and college educated technicians, we not only guarantee to solve your problems, but also help you to understand the biology behind the issue.

"If you have wildlife moving in on you, Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions is definitely the one to call. They are knowledgeable, capable, courteous, and reliable. When a mother raccoon moved into our attic crawl space with her new pups, I was ridden with anxiety. The first company we called said they could do the job, but when they finally arrived they had no good strategies. Fortunately, we next called Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions. From the moment he arrived, Neil assured us he could resolve the problem, and he did. He also installed extra strong raccoon proof screening over our attic vents and chimney flues, which was part of the initial estimate. Neil arrived every day according to schedule, and was always friendly, courteous, and reassuring. I recommend Hudson Valley Wildlife Solutions without reservation. You will get everything you are paying for, which is compassionate professional service."

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.
