I grew up learning to trap, hunt, fish and live alongside all species of wildlife in the south. My goal is to provide a quick, effective, safe and humane service to resolve your struggle with nuisance wildlife. I seek to respect you and your property and honor God in my work! I'm willing to work with customers to come to a fair and convenient price point, as well as take measures to prevent the problem resurfacing in the future.

"Camdyn was dependable and kept me informed. He was mind and compassionate with the animalam he removed. He checked his traps frequently so that the animals were not in the heat or other elements. As an animal lover, I have to protect my pets from encroachment of wild creatures, but I also appreciate keeping the wild population healthy. Several animals that he removed exhibited questionable behavior. Thanks Camdyn, I appreciate you. Highly recommend."

Family owned & operated. While Florida is a great place to live, the warm, moist climate also acts as a breeding ground for unwanted pests. For over 80 years, our Florida pest control company has diligently worked to eliminate nuisance and potentially damaging insect and rodent infestations for Northern Florida homeowners. As a longtime pest control provider, we realize pest control is an ongoing battle; one that requires technical expertise and knowledge of the local pest pressures in order to be the most effective.

"McCalls is the worst lawn care service I have ever had, besides Safari, who were also horrible. My grass is light brown with clovers all in it. I have chinch bugs near my driveway. They did a absolutley horible job. I would never recomend them to anyone."

"A raccoon intruded in the attic of a house and Trapper John was contacted for emergency service as a family was living in the home. Although the issue was eventually resolved I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND due to my experience with the team from contact to the technicians. What went wrong: 1. Not sure if he still works there, but, my primary phone contact was Scott. He was rude a few times throughout the days it took to resolve this issue. 2. I believe due to the nature of their work commonly being emergency services they are able to overcharge especially by offering a price on the spot during the consultation. 3. Technician and phone contact assured me the issue would be resolved within 24 hours and the issue persisted for over 72 hours with me having to continually follow up for updates on their plan to resolve this issue. 4. The technician did not properly secure a hole he had to open in the ceiling of the house to remove baby raccoons and endangered a family living there when one fell through into the living room. 5. Terrible recommendations knowing a family was living in the home: After having difficulties capturing them, a suggestion was made to "leave baby raccoons in the attic to die and let the house air out", a suggestion was made to cut a hole in the roof at 8:30pm on a Sunday with no plan/ability repair it immediately. 6. Part of the service was replacing soffit vents for prevention and when I stopped by the house after service was complete several vents around the house had not been replaced and I had to contact Trapper John to have the technician return and replace those. Overall the job was done and I was given a year long warranty on the raccoon removal and soffit vent replacement. Fortunately, the issue did not reoccur however I would not recommend this company if you find yourself in a similar situation. FYI: A day after posting my review on another platform, I was contacted by a woman at Trapper John and offered a partial refund only if I agreed to remove my review. I refused as I believe it's UNETHICAL and potential customers deserve honest and authentic reviews for the services they pay for. So I will post my honest experience on all platforms I am able."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Bees are relocated to safe habitats, ensuring their continued role in pollination without risk to your home.

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

Some species of bees (not to mention hornets) are aggressive and dangerous to have in your walls. If they swarm in anger or defense, they could badly hurt people in your home. Other species of bees are largely harmless and many people live in close proximity to them.

Either way, bees making hives in your walls usually causes damage. It can contribute to moisture problems, and attract other pests. Those problems get even worse if honeycombs build up. So we strongly suggest you find a way to keep bees from taking up permanent residence.
