"I never thought I would need to hire someone to remove wild animals from my property. For 35 years I've lived in harmony with the groundhogs and other animals that come into my yard. Then someone tunneled and came up under my back porch. Since this is where the dogs and we go in and out, something had to be done to prevent dogs from getting stuck under the porch and wildlife from appearing at the back door. I called Easton's. David E. understands wild animals. He has a deep respect for their intelligence and knowledge of their habits and their abilities to interact with humans. He set traps for the chipmunks who were going in and out of my crawl space. He set a trap at the small entry under my back deck. He caught chipmunks, a skunk, a possum and finally the huge groundhog that had been digging the tunnels. He then did work to ensure that animals could do no more tunneling under my shed (they had been living there since the shed arrived 25 years ago) and other areas around the house where animals could get in and cause damage were closed. Every time I called to report an animal caught in the trap, Mr. E. came quickly to retrieve it. I have every confidence they were treated humanely and did not suffer. An added bonus the fall/winter of 2017 and 2018/19 my house has also been rodent free! It's been great that the house is sealed up and mice are no longer visiting. Raccoons and opossums still set off my light sensors but they are now transient visitors--not living in tunnels under the house. If you need help with wildlife around your property, Mr. E. is the one to call. I highly recommend this business. You will learn all about the animal's lifestyle and habits as well as how best to keep them outside where we prefer them to be and your home will be protected from the damage they can cause."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Groundhogs are non-aggressive animals that are afraid of humans. They forage for vegetation in yards and gardens, so they can often be seen as a nuisance if you spot one on your property. That said, if you happen to get bitten or scratched by a fearful groundhog, be sure to get checked by a doctor, as they could carry infections or diseases like rabies, Lyme, or the rare tularemia.

Groundhogs are definitely cute, but it’s usually not a good idea to have them living in your yard. Not only can groundhogs tear up your grass and create unsightly holes and burrows, but they can also carry infectious diseases that are dangerous to humans.

The truth is, there really is no such thing as a 100% deer-proof plant. Deer will decimate even the prickliest flora if they’re hungry enough. However, there are plenty of beautiful plants that deer don’t necessarily enjoy. These include thistles, wisteria vines, sword ferns, and beautyberries.

Deer are herbivores, and they love vegetable gardens as much as Peter Rabbit. If you don’t want to fence in your entire property, consider creating an attractive raised-bed veggie garden with mesh fencing around it to keep out deer and other critters.

Although it would make things easier for you, animals won’t likely leave the attic on their own. Unless the animal finds seasonal respite in your attic, it’s likely to stay in a protected space as long as it is allowed. Get rid of animals in your attic by calling the appropriate wildlife removal professionals so they can safely and efficiently remove the critters from your home, being careful to avoid further damage to your home.

This depends on if their needs are being met. They'll likely return night after night if they have access to food, water, and adequate shelter. If this changes, they’ll look for another roosting spot. This is why bright lights and other dissuading factors often work when removing bats from a property.
