Cappa Wildlife Control Services

Called first thing in the morning when I saw the skunk in the trap. They called back quickly. Described what could be done. Came within an hour. Released the skunk in he yard, at my request. Was sensitive to the animal. Provided advice on how to avoid catching there skunk again. And on how to trap the intended animal, a groundhog. Reasonably priced at $75. Tipped him to $90. Couldn't ask for better service.

Talked to Pete and expained the problem. He told me a price upfront of what it would cost to look for the problem. He told me he would be at my house in 20 minutes. He arrived at the time he said he would. Pete found a dead opossum at the very back of the crawlspace and removed it. I thought the price charged was reasonable.

Pete got back to me within 24 hours of my initial call. He made a visual inspection of the house perimeter and was able to pinpoint holes in my dormer gable where squirrels had previously made holes with an inspection of the interior and exterior attic. He was able to reattach loose wood on the porch where an animal could get in. He set traps on the roof and a squirrel was caught and the nest removed within 3 days of my initial call. He is courteous, professional and knowledgeable and did provide humane treatment for the animals throughout the process.

Pete is professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. We had a raccoon move into a crawl space under our home and we definitely were aware that it was exploring our floorboards and possibly more areas of our home! Calling Pete was the best thing we did to solve the problem. He came out the day we talked on the phone, and set a couple traps in the area. In less than a week our problem visitor was removed and Pete sealed the entry to the crawl space so that this wouldn't happen again. He clearly knew what he was doing, and he came by every day for about a week to check the area and make sure the problem was truly solved. We recommend Cappa Wildlife Control Services, and would call again for similar problems.

Pete is very professional and knowledgeable. We knew where the squirrels were getting in and he was able to set traps around that opening in our gutter and on the roof. He was concerned about the animals and waited a few days for it to warm up before setting them(they would freeze to death if trapped overnight in sub-zero weather). As soon as an animal was caught, he came out right away to get it. I especially liked that he had a way to determine if the squirrels were still coming in and out of the hole. Lastly, he closed up the hole where they were entering the house and another place where they might be able to get in. Excellent service.

Pete was great! He arrived within 2 hours of our call and worked quickly to resolve our bird issue. The birds weren't up there while Pete was here, and their nests were empty, so Pete only had to do cleanup and repair work instead of removal. His pricing was more than fair and he was great with our nosy (and noisy) dogs, who assumed he must have come over just to pet them. We've been bird-free since Pete solved how they were getting in (although we do hear them stop by the gables and shout at us every once in a while!)

Pete took care of it effectively and professionally

It was a pleasure working with Mr. Cappa (I now call him the "squirrel whisperer") from start to finish. He responded to my call in a timely fashion and, upon arriving at my house, he was able to promptly start setting up multiple squirrel traps outside my garage, where it turned out a family of squirrels had set up housekeeping up in the rafters. Mr. Cappa returned every day to check on the traps and over the course of the next 3 days the entire family (including babies) had been trapped humanely and released to a less urban environment. Mr. Cappa then did an incredibly professional job sealing up the squirrel access point to the garage. He used metal plate to cover the squirrel entryway that was actually color matched to the exterior paint I had used to paint the garage molding. Also, his price was very reasonable and he was very personable with a lot of interesting stories to tell, as one would expect from his line of work. You cannot go wrong choosing Cappa Wildlife Control Services for any type of animal removal work.

Pete was able to identify the two entrances on our roof right away. He then set up traps and the squirrel was captured several days later. Pete was very professional. He even plugged the two holes for us without charging us. I highly recommend Pete for your animal removal need.

Pete located both entrances within 1/2 hour.Setup and baited 2 traps on each side.explained process in great detail. First one caught 2nd day.Came within short time and removed. Reset another trap.Caught 2 within same cage next day. Came same day and removed both.Set another trap. Determined other location not active and removed the two traps. Sealed up entrance.Next day caught another and removed same day.Set 1 more,marked area to see amount of activity. Caught another one next day. Came and removed trap.Determined nest empty and resealed that entrance.Total of 5 squirrels caught within 5 days, all removed and holes sealed. One of the best workers I have had at my house, his knowledge was beyond belief about his profession. I would recommend him to anyone and would absolutely rehire him. TOP CLASS GUY IN ALL WAYS SKILLS AND PERSONALITY.

Excellent. Pete was quick to respond, professional and his services were priced extremely fair. Would highly recommend.

Pete was great! Called him on a Tuesday and he was out by Thursday am to set a trap. Friday morning, we didn't have a ground hog, but had a racoon, who was "reloated" later in the morning. Sometime Saturday, during the day, we got the ground hog. As I was gone all day, I didn't get to call Pete until after 6 PM. Although he had checked the trap Saturday morning, he said he could come out that night or Sunday morning. (I didn't want the ground hog in my yard - but i didn't want him to suffer until Monday either.) Before 7:30 Sunday morning Pete was out to collect the animal and the cage. He also took the time to check around the shed, and using available materials, blocked off the access to under the shed. Cappa's price to set the trap was less than the 2 other places I called and his removal was less than 1/2 of the others. I would hightly recommend this company. Not only becasue of their price, but also becuse of the service quality.

Pete examined the property inside and out to identify where the squirrels were entering the home. He set traps and returned promptly to remove the squirrels and reset the traps. He was very thorough in examining the property and assessing and explaining the damage that had been done and recommending what I needed to do about that. I would very highly recommend this company.

It went great. Pete Cappa (owner) did the job himself. He carefully set three traps and ensured that no pets could get in the traps.. He even put a little roof on the live trap so the groundhog would not get too hot or uncomfortable after being caught. It was caught the same day. He visited the traps every day and took the groundhog away without bothering me. He also carefully reset the trap. The next day, to my surprise, another groundhog was in the trap. Again, he came on his own and removed the groundhog and reset the trap. When no more groundhogs entered the traps, he dismantled the traps and even volunteered to fill in the holes, which was not part of the agreement. His truck looks good, and he conducts himself very professionally, so the neighbors had not comments. For all the visits and all the time spent setting the traps, the fee is very reasonable. I strongly recommend Pete and will definitely call him again when groundhogs return.

Pete was very knowledgeable, prompt, and professional. He very quickly assessed the problem and found the hole in the fascia where the squirrels were entering the attic. Working around difficult weather conditions and dodging snow on the roof, Pete was able to trap the squirrels and seal the entry hole to prevent further intrusions into the attic. I found his company through recommendations on Angie's List, and I will also add my recommendation as well. The grades I gave him are accurate and worthy - not exaggerated.

My house painters discovered a squirrel's nest in my roof and I called several wildlife control businesses listed on Angie's List, including Critter Control, whom I had used in the past. Pete Cappa was among the most responsive, and his prices were the best. He arrived promptly, did his work efficiently, and didn't even charge as much as he should have. And he's a very nice man.

I saw squirrels entering the facia under my roof gutters. The squirrels were pulling insulation from the soffit and facia, building a nest and were very destructive. They were nesting over my back door. One of them fell, hitting the ground right in front of me. It scared me so bad. I found Pete Cappa through Angie's List. I called him and he met me at my house. He put 2 traps along the roof line and 1 trap suspended on the side of my house. After a day, 2 of the traps caught squirrels. About 1 day later, 2 squirrels were caught in 1 trap. A couple of days later, 1 squirrel was trapped. Each time squirrels were trapped, Pete returned to remove them and reset the traps. He relocated the squirrels miles away. Before he completed the job, he advised me to plug the entry and repair the facia as soon as possible, which I did. Ironically, my neighbor contacted me 2 weeks later. While in an upstairs bedroom, she saw squirrels entering a hole in her porch roof. She called me to ask me for the telephone number of the person who removed the squirrels from my roof. I was only too glad to provide her with his number. Not only did he trap, remove and relocate 3 squirrels from her property, he trimmed the branches the squirrels were using to access the porch.

Pete was fantastic. He worked me into his schedule within 2 hours of my initial phone call. He was professional and after I explained my problem and what I heard, he knew exactly where to look. He efficiently removed the dead animals and produced a mesh cover for the place on the roof where the animals entered. His rate was reasonable and he completed the work quickly being alert to the fact I had a commitment in the afternoon. When I initially called him, he explained that depending upon where the animal was located, he might not be able to remove it. I appreciate the honesty. I had been referred to another critter control company and after placing a follow-up call to my initial call decided to join Angie's List for other alternatives. That's where I found Pete Cappa, who had an A rating. 48 hours after my first call to the other company, I have still not received a response. If they didn't want to do the job, they could have had the courtesy of at least calling to tell me so. Very bad customer service. But, at least that led me to Pete who was outstanding and whom I will refer to anyone I know needing his services

A female raccoon and three young raccoons showed up on our patio, chasing out two groundhogs who lived in hollowed-out area below the patio corner to another part of the yard (we had been trying to remove them earlier). Mr. Cappa laid several traps and managed them very carefully, monitoring the situation daily. In the end, one raccoon and a groundhog were caught. Mr. Cappa then filled the opening and screened it carefully. He also showed me how to bait a humane trap I have. We were very satisfied and I recommend his services strongly.

Pete Cappa impressed us with his professionalism and the care with which he used his deep expertise to solve our problem. He clearly understands squirrels, and so based on that understanding he was able to trap and remove them in a way that is humane. We didn't know if we had one squirrel or many -- as it turned out we had seven. We called Pete as soon as his traps were occupied, and he came right away to take the trapped squirrels away. On a few of these occasions this meant he had to reach outside our windows to remove large traps from our gutters -- even on a very cold, rainy holiday night. And then based on his advice we learned what tree limbs needed trimming and how to repair the hole that the squirrels had made. No more squirrel problem.

Mr. Cappa is very personable, professional and provided excellent results. We highly respect his commitment to humane animal treatment. Also, appreciated his kindness to our inquisitive young child during work time. Nice guy. Would hire again in a heartbeat. Terrific value for provided services. Highly recommend.

I saw a black snake in my laundry room, which retreated back into the insulation last night. Today I looked on Angie's list and noticed the company had great reviews, a good website and looked promising. I called and the person I spoke to immediately sounded pretty miserable. I explained that I had a snake in my basement and that I was looking for someone to possibly set traps/catch it and take a look at my house/foundation to try to determine how it would have gotten in. This seemed like an ordinary service they offer based on other reviews and on their website. The person scoffed and said there was no way they were going to find the snake now and said they had no one who could come out. That was it. They didn't offer to have someone come out another day or ask me to call back to see if any appointments were available. Very disappointed and will be taking my business elsewhere.

Pete did a very thorough insepction at 10:30pm on a Saturday night. I thought the squirrel might be gone or possibly dead, and did not want to take any chances on either scenario. It turns out the squirrel was gone, but Pete was able to help me understand why and where the animal entered the house and what my next steps should be. I could finally sleep in our bedroom again knowing I didn't have to worry about it anywmore. Super nice guy.

I called Pete after reading reviews on Angie's List. We just moved into a new home about a month ago and have been noticing droppings in the corner of our back porch area. At first, we thought these were mice droppings but after investigating further, we now believe they are bat droppings. I called Pete and he was very courteous and listened to my concerns and gave me a few options to try. He was not pushing to come to the house and make a "sale" of his services. I was very impressed at the free consult that he gave me over the phone. If I do need services for pests in the future, I will certainly give Pete a call.

My wife and I live in our dream home. We bought it last year. Unfortunately we started to hear the lovely chirping of birds coming in as an echo from our bathroom into our master bedroom. We found out that birds had made a nest in the vent covering on the roof of the house to the master bathroom exhaust fan. We also were hearing birds clamoring around under the soffit in the front of the house. As much as we don't mind wildlife, we wanted them gone. I called another reference from angie's list and was not happy with their proposal, recommendations, etc. They also did not appear professional. We got another company - Cappa Wildlife - to come and see the house and the same day he completed the job. Not only was Pete a true professional, but he took his time to explain things and discuss what needed done. Our roof vents were not "of the usual" and he had to make custom cages to place over them. I know it does not sound like anything fancy, but the cages he made were very nicely fashioned and look completely in place on our roof. As well, he fixed the soffit on the front of the house and patched up a large hole where the birds were coming in at. He also said that he wanted to place a small covering over an exhaust fan on the back of the house that he did not even charge me for. Pete was the consummate professional. He acted and looked the part and his knowledge was beyond good. Not only that, his work was exceptional. He cleaned up completely and the work he did paralleled that of the best contractors out there, except that his area of expertise is in animal / wildlife control. In other words, he did not come fix the problem and leave a mess that would require a contractor to come fix, he did it himself and it looked great. He was easy to deal with on the phone, pleasant, and actually arrived early. When I was not readily available to meet with him since he arrived early he was nothing but professional. I would use Pete Cappa and Cappa Wildlife Control Services again in a heartbeat and would truly happily pay twice what I paid him for the quality of the work that he did.
