"Tom responded almost as soon as I found his business on Homeadvisor. We discussed my problem and he preliminarily set a date for the weekend after Thanksgiving, which was fine but pushed our departure back. Later that same day, he had an updated schedule and was able to come a week early which was great for us and he arrived a little early, did his inspection, we discussed options and hired him to do the job, which thankfully he was able to do then. He wrote up his report, submitted it, came back in from his vehicle and did the work in a very efficient and timely manner. We have hired him for regular, monthly pest control and inspections so we are very satisfied and thankful we met Tom (Pop's)."

Cost is determined by the job. Award winning. Animal Capture Wildlife Control calls for solutions for both animal and man alike by freeing your home or business of all skunk, raccoon, opossum, bat, coyote, and snake problems in a timely fashion. We are the company you have relied on for years! We service all of greater Los Angeles to Bakersfield. We have the expertise and experience to solve diverse problems such as skunk removal, skunk trapping under buildings and decks, raccoon removal, raccoon trapping in attics and under floors, opossum removal, and opossum trapping in attics and under floors. We are also experts in dead animal removal. When an animal dies in the attic, under floor or in the wall it takes an expert to search and locate the animal. We carry out inspections in attics and under floors while these animals are still in these locations. Most importantly we have the knowledge to search out the damage done by these animals. Our job is to safely and humanely put an end to your uninvited wildlife guests. We accomplish this by educating our customers about these animals, the damage they cause, and where the animals are entering, so this does NOT happen again! We remove skunks, raccoons, opossums, and other wildlife immediately if possible or we will set up humane traps that catch these animals alive. Our goal is to eliminate future problems and insure the safety of your property and you!

"Jeremy and Ben did a thorough and professional job in capturing and removing for release 4 raccoons and 2 opossums that were damaging my yard. They first did a property assessment, listened to all my concerns and answered all questions, then set and baited cages. Over a period of approximately two weeks, several animals were caught. They were extremely responsive to my phone calls and arrived very promptly to pick up the captured animals. They display a strong commitment to their work and a deep understanding of nature and the details of their work."

"The absolute best pest control company out there!!! We just moved in to a new house, and we started noticing lots of earwigs, water bugs and other creepy pests.... One call to this company and they were out within the same week (due to my scheduling they couldn't come sooner). John was our tech and he went above and beyond, he cleaned up the eaves, sprayed all areas and left us a note with instructions and specific locations he treated. The bonus, he also noted what he used to spray!!! If you're looking for a pest solution look no further, it's refreshing to have a company that loves what they do!!!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home’s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources. The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:

  • Raccoons

  • Bats

  • Squirrels

  • Mice

  • Rats

The simple answer is that food attracts moles to your yard. These creatures have a powerful sense of smell, and they’re looking for their next meal, i.e., grubs, earthworms, ants, and other insects. Moist, loose soil also makes it easier for them to travel, so an overwatered lawn could attract them. Male moles might make their way into your yard to expand their territory or look for a new mate. And if your neighbor has moles, there’s a good chance they may tunnel over to your yard.

Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil,  and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.

You should call pest control for cockroaches when you see two or more of these pests or clear warning signs of an infestation. Signs of an active roach infestation are roach droppings, dark smears on surfaces, roach eggs, foul odors, and shed skins. If you notice these unusual marks in your home, consider hiring a pest control specialist for an inspection.

While it may cost more to hire an exterminator than trying to treat the problem yourself, a professional is worth hiring if you have a major infestation. If the problem is severe and the ants are causing damage to your home, then DIY methods may not be as effective as a professional treatment. Plus, if you have carpenter or fire ants it’s best not to risk the damage they can cause to your home.
