"Hereâ s why I like Dustin and his people. They take this critter-catching thing personally. If they owned and lived in my house, they couldnâ t have worked any harder getting my crawl space closed in and my home wrapped up tight. I actually had to stop myself a couple of times from saying, â oh, you donâ t have to do that.â They did it. And more. Stuff I would have never found and never known about, they repaired. They even anticipated places tree rats may someday take a liking to and reinforced them also. They caught and humanely relocated a raccoon and a possum. The big rat that had been harassing us, alas, did not fare as well. He wonâ t be missed. They did all this with courtesy and good humor. Donâ t waste time with any other company. Hire these people."

"Michael did a termite inspection on my sailboat and with the amount of work involved to remove finishes I had installed, he recommended a course of action to treat the areas that were needed. He was very informative, thorough and professional. I will be hiring him to do preventive work on my residence."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

There are several ways to make your yard a less attractive habitat for moles. Protect your garden beds by installing a fence or other barrier about 2 to 3 feet deep around your garden.

Moles eat insects, so grub removal is another important way to prevent moles from destroying your yard.

Likewise, remove tree stumps, dead leaves, and other debris that attract insects to your lawn. Some plants will deter moles as well, including daffodils, marigolds, crown imperial, and alliums, like garlic or onions.

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.

Set live traps or install a one-way door to evict squirrels, rodents, and other animals from your attic. Once they’re out, seal any entry points to prevent the animals from returning. If you’re dealing with an infestation, call a pro. 

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.

Using chemicals with harsh odors is a natural way to repel bears. While the animal’s strong sense of smell is an asset in the animal kingdom, it’s a weakness here. Simply place bleach or ammonia in a bucket and leave it outside day or night. Ironically, bears also dislike the smell of pine, so you can use pine oil or a pine-based cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaning products with fruit or citrus smells, however.
