"Outstanding service, wonderful company! I cannot say enough great things about these guys. We had racoons, squirrels and mice living in our attic for God knows how long. I grew up in NYC so I knew nothing about these critters and the damage they could reek on your property. Carter was so patient and knowledgable though. He came out, assessed the situation, determined the source and created a game plan to eradicate and cleanup the problem. On the day of cleanup Hunter and Carter arrived on time with 6 hrs of work ahead of them. They patiently reviewed each action step in detail with us and went to great measures to protect our property during the process. Highly recommended. These are the ONLY guys you need!"

Customers say: Quick response

Emergency Pest & Wildlife is the premier rapid response pest control and animal control company in the Greater Columbus Metro Area. We provide residential and commercial exterminating services for general pests, bed bugs, and wildlife removal. We offer promotions throughout the year. Senior Citizen, Military/Veteran, and First Responder Discounts available.

"After posting my request, I was immediately contacted by the "VP and Co-Founder" (per his business card). He arrived early the next day to look at the problem and assess a solution. One quick issue, he didn't have a ladder, so I provided one. He proceeded to remove the insulation to find the access point. Then, in a very professional manner, he told me that there was dry rot on the wood and it would require a contractor. His contractor was currently busy on another project, but they would return either late the same afternoon or first thing the next day. No one showed up by late afternoon nor the next morning. After waiting until past 11 a.m., I called him and was told that "my technicians" haven't arrived yet and he would call me back within thirty minutes. That phone call never happened nor was I ever contacted again. I called another Angie's List provider and the problem was resolved. All the man had to do was simply tell me he was incapable of fixing the issue and I would have been fine with that. Instead I wasted two days waiting for what turned out to be a physical no-show and a non-existent phone call. Seriously, an honest "I can't do it" would have been fine, a disappearing act was not."

"Spartan did trap about 7-8 squirrels and removed them from the property. However, they never sealed or attempted to seal the entry point. I asked for a quote on numerous occasions, finally was ignored instead of excuse after excuse. Now we have the same problem and still NO ONE has inspected the attic. The lady on the phone said they go up there. Mark himself said they’ll be going up there, but no one from this company has done so. Now I need to hire a new company to do the job the correct way."

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.
