Smitty's Trapping

Words can not explain how great this company is. My cat ran outside and was hiding under my house for a week. I called Smitty's Trapping Company and Smitty came by within 30 minutes. He was very cordial and professional the whole entire time. He knew exactly how to fix the problem, and he made it happen. Within 5 hours, my cat was back inside my house and now she is back to being the happy animal she is. When I tell you that Smitty's Trapping Company is the best in the bay, I truly mean it. Thanks again, Ryan Hoppe

Exceptional response and quality. Just what I was hoping for in our local area. I highly recommend Smitty's.

We had a young Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake in our backyard. Gave Bob a call - he was very helpful in confirming that it was indeed a diamondback (I had sent him a picture via text). He showed up - snatched the snake - and was in and out in 5 mins! Thanks Bob!

Called Bob at 11:30 am on a Sunday. He showed up in 30 minutes and took the raccoon away. Awesome service. Great price. Am recommending to all our neighbors.

One never relishes the thought of calling an exterminator but after the positive experience we had with Smitty's Trapping we will not hesitate should the need arise in the future.  Over a period of two weeks we tried many tactics to rid ourselves of our unwelcome visitor and finally decided to throw in the towel and call a professional.  Our call was answered by Bob, the owner, and within two hours he had come to the house, assessed the situation and set a trap.  Within two days our uninvited guest had been dispatched.  Bob suggested waiting a couple days to make sure there weren't any other unwelcome visitors.  When all was quiet for a couple nights Bob returned and closed the opening that had allowed access thus taking care of any possible future problems. We were very impressed with the responsiveness, knowledge, and efficiency of Smitty's Trapping.

I called a couple of animal removal services to remove a dead animal in my pond in my backyard. Several places quoted me between $175-$225 and stated they would be there "sometime later today maybe". I went on Angie's List and saw Smitty's Trapping located nearby in Largo, FL. I called and a gentleman by the name of Bob answered and stated he would be there within a half hour and it would cost $125. Bob was at  my home in about a half hour. I paid beforehand because "Things will get messy later", he correctly stated. He took no time in wading through the chest deep brackish water to snag the carcass. He bagged the dead animal, which happened to be a bloated raccoon, and left the scene. No fuss, no muss.

He did a very good job.

Hello there Angies List
I have to tell you a story about a wonderful experience I had with the animal removal company Smitty's Trapping. Originally from the northeast and not used to the wonderful critters and creatures we have native to Florida. I don't mind bugs but for some reason I have a phobia with geckos! I do understand they help control the bug population down in Florida but still not used to them! Well lo and behold one morning I woke to find a gecko in my master bedroom!! My husband (braver than me) and with no such silly phobias wasn't home. I knew the little guy probably got in because of open windows during our window work done the previous week.
I couldn't remove the guy myself--so I got on Angie's List and looked up animal removal while I kept an eye on him from a distance. I called the first company on my list with very high ratings--I asked for a quote for a one time removal of a lizard. They quoted me $160! It included a package for exclusion services etc. You must understand at that time all i wanted was the gecko gone. I wasn't thinking long term! I then decided to call Smitty Trapping which was also highly recommended on my list. Bob answered the phone right away, there was no middle man to deal with. I explained the situation to him and he said he would charge me a flat fee of 75 and arrive in 10 minutes. True to his word and very professional Bob arrived in 10 minutes with a ladder and removed the gecko within the next 5 minutes! The little guy was safely placed in the backyard, and the job was done in a jiffy.
Bob said the charge was now $60. I have had service professionals go up in price after coming in for a call. But I have never had someone go down in price! He was professional, quick, punctual and efficient. Wow! What service! He also was respectful of my fears but explained that geckos do control the bug population down here in Florida.
I would highly recommend Smitty Trapping for all your Animal Removal needs. I am going to call them for exclusion and Pest services too as I am dissatified with my current company. Very reasonable rates too!

Bob came in, set up his 32 ft ladder, climbed nearly to the top, then extend his catch pole to get our cat, who didn't like the choke hold, but was very happy to get back inside the house. Bob accomplished everything within a few minutes. If this happens again, we know who to call.
