Thank you for taking time to evaluate our service. You are in a semi-rural setting so keep an eye out for additional groundhogs moving in. If you need us back within 30 days of your original completion date your initial Service Fee is still good!

Description of Work: Wildlife Control inspected our 2 attics for the presence of birds and/or nests (this was requested on a home inspector's report). The wildlife specialist thoroughly checked all possible areas, including crawl area under one of the attics, for indication of bird presence. Although he found no nests or birds, he screened all access areas to ensure no possibility of future infestation. The company provided a full written report of findings for the buyer of the house. I first contracted with Wildlife Control to address raccoon invasion of our back yard last autumn. At that time, I was impressed with their expertise in identifying where they were coming in and in capturing and dealing with the trapped raccoons. They were prompt in clearing & rebaiting the traps and totally upfront with all associated costs. I would highly recommend this company.

Description of Work: Wildlife Control came out to remove a skunk that had taken up residence under our storage shed. They were professional and knowledgeable about the process and explained the process and why the skunk had chosen our property. We were so pleased that we took advantage of them to remove a possum and a raccoon also. Hope we never have to use them again, but if the need arises, we will definitely call them.
