"This was the first time I ever had to call an animal control service for help. I was not only nervous about what critter he might find lurking in or around here, but was also nervous about letting a stranger into my house. Mike Kyle turned out to be a Godsend! So nice, courteous, and understanding, he quickly put me at ease. Very knowledgeable and totally professional. Extremely prompt and fair, I will not hesitate to use his service again should I ever need to. Since meeting Mike, I have also been recommending him to everyone I know, and will continue to do so for anyone I come in contact with that needs this kind of service. Thanks, Mike, for being so thorough and doing such a great job, and Thank you, Home Advisor, for recommending SOS Wildlife Services."

"Pest Busters is reliable and responsible, They eliminated my rodent problem under the house and in the attic. I then had them clean up the attic and remove all the old insulation and install new insulation. All the work was completed on schedule. I can count on Pest Busters to do an excellent job."

"James Clifton is a knowledgable contractor, and a gentleman too. His employees were well-versed and worked very efficiently. His recommendations brought our attic up to code, removed and replaced the insulation with improved material, and also solved some electrical problems. I would recommend him to my friends and neighbors."

"Jetty Pest, came every week to help me out with my recent rodent problem. They were kind courteous. Let me know when they were on their way and informed me after every visit how many traps were triggered they stayed with us until the problem was resolved. Could not recommend them more."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Raccoons may sometimes leave a property on their own, but this is not guaranteed. For a persistent raccoon infestation, it is advisable to take measures for trapping and removal. After they have been removed, it is important to seal any potential entry points to prevent their return.

To dispose of a dead iguana in Florida, first learn your local regulations. Litter laws may subject disposal in roads or bodies of water to a fine or jail time. Some towns restrict animal carcasses in trash bins. Instead, consider burial or cremation to get rid of an iguana. You may be able to dispose of iguana carcasses with a local animal control company, vet, or pet cemetery for a fee.

The cost to hire an exterminator or pest control service is $175 on average, with typical costs ranging from $100 to $500. However, you could spend more depending on several factors, including the type of pest, the size and severity of the infestation, and the number of visits required.

Service costs also vary by frequency:

• One-time service: $300–$550

• Initial visit with ongoing service: $150–$300

• Monthly visits: $40–$70

• Quarterly visits: $100–$300

• Annual visits: $300–$550

The type of pest significantly impacts the price. For example, exterminating spiders typically costs between $100 and $300, while a termite problem can range from $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the extent of the damage. Routine pest control services can help prevent future infestations and costly damage to your home.

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.

It’s possible that skunks will leave on their own. Skunks may appear briefly on your property and move on if they cannot find food. However, waiting them out is not a foolproof solution. If the skunk finds a food source on or near your property and builds a nest, the animal will almost certainly not choose to move. If you can eliminate food sources, you’ll have a better chance of seeing the skunk leave on its own.
