My dog killed a raccoon last night. I called Carl in the morning and he was here by 11 am. to remove it. Great value and service.

Great. Carl was able to come within about an hour. He looked at the hole in my eaves and explained it was a raccoon trying to find a place to nest. Given the size of the hole, the raccoon wouldn't have fit, and Carl said it would probably not come back. He looked at the hole under the porch (and found another one on the other side that I hadn't seen) and determined it was most likely rabbits. He looked around and didn't see any evidence that they were currently living in there. He recommended using some stones to block the holes. Carl said he could put some traps out, but he didn't see any need and thought that would just be taking my money for no reason. He just charged me for the service call. I was super appreciative of his honesty. I will definitely call him again if we have more problems.

Excellent - showed up right on time, had all of the equipment that was needed, and results were very even better than expected.  Also, he was very considerate about keeping any debris to a minimum.  Carl is VERY knowledgeable, and had much experience with many types of wildlife.  He showed up promptly, even though it was a weekend, and took care of the problem.  In addition, we has able to recommend a quality local workman to perform additional related repairs.  I was VERY satisfied with the results, and would most highly recommend him should you be in need of his service.

We thought originally the mother skunk was dying, as I saw it leave from under my porch under severe distress.  The trap was maintained for over a week, with no skunks trapped in it.  When Carl came to pick up the trap, while we were talking outside my house, he detected a faint smell of a skunk (I could not smell anything).  He searched my front bushes and found the dead female skunk.  He removed the skunk from the premises.

Carl responded with a visit to assess problem properly. Set trap and caught two animals. I was very satisfied with Carl's service & response to effectively handle the problem.

Had originally called another pest control service to get rid of mom and
baby raccoons in my attic. They nailed cage to roof and caught male and
then the mother raccoon.  Came back a couple of times to try to scoop
up babies from attic but could not find them. Suggested cutting holes in
my ceiling (!) to try and find them.  I asked about putting baited
cages in attic instead.  Guy said he's check with his boss.  Then, on
Saturday I called them again as baby raccoons were screaming and clawing
at my light fixtures & ceiling speaker system.  They said sorry,
but they do not work weekends or holidays and couldn't come out until
Tuesday. Also said sorry, couldn't recommend anyone else either.  
SO GLAD I called Carl of  Carl's Wildlife Control.  Called him  Saturday night and he came out
right away on Sunday morning. Set traps in attic and came back Monday
and captured the babies!  He left them in baited cage in attic to lure
any other babies into cages.  Cleaned out everything this morning.  So
efficient and professional.  JUST EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!  I would use him
again and highly recommend him!

We had a squirrel chew some wiring in our furnace, so we called Carl to take a look.  From start to finish, he was fantastic.  Over the span of about a week, he trapped and removed five squirrels.  He was extremely responsive and flexible, as he worked around our busy schedules as needed.  Everything was done in a professional manner, and the price was very reasonable.  We would definitely use him again (although we hope we don't have to!)

When I first contacted Carl, he gave me some tips on what to try first before he set the traps.  Those things didn't work for our skunks, so we called him out. 







He came out right away, as he said he would.  He inspected the area and confirmed that we did have something nesting in 2 locations around our yard.  He showed me the evidence for the future. 







He filled in the holes with rock, etc.  He set the traps and we signed an agreement with him.  Within 2 days we caught something in both traps.  We called him to let him know.  One was obviously a skunk, I think he said the other was an opossum.  He removed those animals, and reset the traps. One trap caught another skunk.  The other did not catch anything. 







He removed the second skunk, and my husband said he thought the problem was over.  The whole process lasted only about a week.  We have not seen any skunks since; we have not smelled any either...  There is also no evidence of any other animal nesting in our yard.


(update 3 months later:  Still no nesting animals and the weather is now getting cold)

We weren't sure what animal was getting in there or how. We had heard mating sounds (we thought they were babies) and Carl immediately suspected raccoons. At first he checked out the attic and he didn't find any droppings or hint as to the type of animal so he set a larger trap at first. The bait was gone the next day so we thought perhaps it was a smaller animal at this point. He set new smaller traps. We didn't hear any sounds for a while after that. It was probably two weeks. Then we heard the animal again and it sounded like it was playing with the traps. He then saw a paw print that looked like raccoon on a wooden board. We still weren't certain of the animal so he set both small and large traps,. About a week later the animal was trapped. He came and removed the animal and reset the traps. We waited another week or so until the attic restoration company had closed the entry point and then he removed the remaining traps. Carl was excellent. He was empathetic to our stress about the situation but was also very matter of fact and efficient. It took a while (maybe a month?) but that had more to do with the intelligence of the raccoon than anything else.

We had been hearing sounds in our attic and called a variety of wildlife control businesses. Carl was the first one who was able to come out the next day to determine the cause of the sounds. After some investigation he explained to us that a raccoon had probably taken up residence in our attic. He placed a trap for a reasonable fee and came back on multiple occasions to check to see if anything had been caught. Our raccoon left on its own, but we were very impressed with his professionalism. He also referred us to another company that came out and sealed off the entry point for the raccoon.

Carl came out and picked up three opossums and closed up the raccoon den. So far so good! Carl was responsive and professional. We will use him again.

Carl traps the animals (He has caught about 30 racoons,3 skunks and 10 oppossums in my yard. He disposes of them when I call him on the phone, and sets a new trap.

Carl responded quickly to our original call, which was great. This was our second experience with raccoons, so we knew how important a quick response is, and how difficult it can be to find help quickly. He dropped traps in our attic within 24 hours.
Unfortunately, our ornery raccoons had burrowed themselves very close to our cramped attic edges, which made them difficult to trap, and they were NOT interested in taking the bait. Carl reassured us that our experience was not common. However, he never stopped trying new things to rid our home of the critters, and eventually drove the family out.
Even though he is a one-man crew, he was consistently responsive to phone calls, dealt with our issue with professionalism, and went out of his way to work around our schedule - morning or evening, and weekends too.
