Bearclaw Wild Life take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job

"I hired this company as I heard wildlife activity in my chimney. They were very responsive and Matt even confirmed the appointment. He sent someone else even though it was twice confirmed it would be him. The tech that arrived walked about 20 feet into my living room, shined a flashlight into my fireplace and told me the wildlife was protected and couldnâ t help. I was promptly charged $133. I had agreed to this fee, as it would have been applied to the job had I hired them to do the work. I had every expectation of hiring them, but as they couldnâ t help, I did not have that option. I have no problem paying a fair price for services performed, but a 5 minute call does not warrant this expense."

Your home will be inspected & documented w/annotated phots provided to show what has made it in and how including but not limited to water in your basement, mice, bats, flying squirrels. In addition, This will help you understand what needs to be done to stop them from getting inside in the first place and then we can professionally seal it with non-chewable materials. We service lower Fairfield County, CT and parts of Westchester County, NY. Brian’s career in the pest control business began over 25 years ago. He spent three years in the southern United States learning from a world-renowned entomologist (among others) and helped start the Sentricon baiting program for termites with Dow Elanco. Brian advanced through the field to eventually run a major sales force and acquired a distinctive edge in the business. Through this experience, Brian realized he wanted to return to his home state of NY and create his own niche in the rodent control market. He developed a highly successful approach, rejecting the easy but environmentally unsound approach of poison – and instead relying on hard work, common sense, and the correct materials to prevent rodents from entering people’s homes in the first place. Fast forward a few years, and Brian began to realize there were additional niches in this area that needed to be more friendly towards the environment and the clients’ health. He therefore co-invented the Enviroboot® Dust Suppression System to help control the toxic silica dust that is produced when concrete is broken with a jackhammer. The result was a reduction in toxic dust greater than 97% according to the EPA and was awarded the 2006 US EPA CLEAN AIR EXCELLENCE AWARD. Brian M. Sweig has a special set of skills and licenses in NY and CT including Nuisance/Wildlife, Home Improvement, and Home Inspection (CT), Mold Assessment and looks forward to helping make your home a better place for you and your family.

"Brian and his team are wonderful. I give them an A+ rating for the service they provided in both my home and my parents. Brian is professional tohis core, honest and fair with his cost. He explains everything that needs to be done and does a great job fixing the problems."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

You don’t have to worry about a termite infestation wreaking havoc on your home within days or weeks. It takes several months or years for significant structural damage to occur. The destruction rate depends on the colony’s size and maturity, the wood they’re feeding on, and the local conditions. Serious termite damage usually takes 3 to 8 years. But you should still take steps to treat your home and prevent termite return as soon as you spot their signs.

If the cat is stray (you noticed a collar or other signs of domestication), the kind thing to do is to try and find the owner. Call around to other neighbors to see if they can lead you in the right direction. If you can get close enough to snap a picture, try posting an image of the cat to local community groups and pages on social media. 

If the cat is feral, you can try to humanely trap them and participate in a local shelter’s TNR program. Before attempting capture, call around to local rescues and shelters to make sure one near you does participate in a TNR program. They may even be able to catch the cat for you.

You should hire a wasp or hornet removal professional to get rid of an active or dormant hornet nest. Due to the feisty and dangerous nature of these pests, it’s best to hire a professional who has the proper skills, tools, and experience to remove a nest safely. Do not attempt to remove an active hornet nest on your own.

Yes, stink bugs can play dead. Stink bugs don’t just release bad odors, they have a defense mechanism to pretend to be dead, even when flicked over and swept into a trash bin. That’s how stink bugs may keep coming back even if you thought you got rid of them.

For a non-chemical bed bug treatment, you can try spraying your mattress with a mixture of essential oils, rubbing alcohol, and water. Pesticide sprays are available, but using them can pose potential health risks to humans and pets—especially if they are not applied correctly. If non-chemicals do not eradicate your bed bug infestation, you should consult a pest control specialist to determine the best course of action.
