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!
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)
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.
