"I contacted Critter Removal LLC because raccoons got in my attic again. I had this issue once before and the company I called out, used a sonar and said they got the raccoons out and cleaned up. However, after realizing they got back in, I decided to contact a different company, Critter Removal LLC. It turns out, sonars really don't do much to get rid of the racoons and the prior company didn't put anything up to keep them from getting back in. Critter Removal did. They emailed me before each visit to let me know what time the person would be there and he was always on time. I also get a warranty for a few months for the work. Dillon was who they sent and he was prompt, courteous and took time to explain things to me, even things I wasn't sure I needed to ask. Based just off that initial experience, I would hire them again."

"They did a great job removing the animals and they even filled in the holes/nest. My only concern was pricing. I have never had animals removed so I don't have much context, but their pricing (approx $500 to remove 2 groundhogs) was a little pricey."

"I could hear squirrels running around, making noise in the attic space of our home. CritterGuard Solutions was one of four wildlife removal services I contacted for a quote. Garrett came the next day and arrived when he said he would. He inspected the suspected entry point, took pictures and showed them to me, explained what he proposed to do, and emailed me a quote. I was somewhat hesitant because his quote was so much lower then the other quotes I got, but he was knowledgeable and his solution was the same as the others. His warranty was also for a longer period than the others. After I accepted his quote he arrived on time, sealed one opening, and installed an one-way door and trap near the main opening. We waited 5 days to be sure the squirrels were all gone. He then came back, removed the one-way door and trap (it caught a squirrel) and sealed the opening. I found Garrett to be very likeable and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him."

"One and only bird removal service that actually contacted me upon request or leaving a message! Same day service. Steve and son were pleasant, polite, neat, thorough, and walked you thru each step in the process. Photos before, during, and after! Reasonable price for the service. Enjoyable to speak with. 5 Stars!!!"

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, badgers are aggressive mammals, which is why it’s important to safely remove them from your home or garden area as soon as possible. Keep in mind though, badgers rarely attack pets or people, but their sharp claws and even sharper teeth can make them dangerous if they feel threatened.

Squirrels rely heavily on their sense of smell and are deterred by a variety of scents. Some of the most effective smells for repelling them include peppermint oil, coffee grounds, white vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, rosemary, and predator urine. They also have a strong aversion to capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, making capsaicin-based sprays an effective repellent for areas like gardens or bird feeders. For a DIY solution, you can create a spray from garlic and vinegar and apply it daily. Additionally, squirrels dislike strong, fresh scents, so placing items like strong-smelling soaps or dryer sheets in areas they frequent can also help keep them away.

You can get rid of raccoons quickly by making your home an undesirable place to live. Here are the best ways to get rid of raccoons fast:

  • Repair broken vents and screens leading to your home.

  • Seal open access points into your home. Many raccoons sneak in through the attic, roof, or chimney.

  • Trim trees and branches so raccoons don’t have easy access to your roof and chimney. 

  • Thoroughly clean out garbage cans, remove all trash, and secure the bins.

  • Don’t keep food or water outside.

  • Add raccoon guards to outdoor bird feeders. 

  • Clean up brush around your home—raccoons like to gather loose yard materials for bedding.

Using chemicals with harsh odors is a natural way to repel bears. While the animal’s strong sense of smell is an asset in the animal kingdom, it’s a weakness here. Simply place bleach or ammonia in a bucket and leave it outside day or night. Ironically, bears also dislike the smell of pine, so you can use pine oil or a pine-based cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaning products with fruit or citrus smells, however.

Raccoons should be removed in most cases, especially when they’ve made their way indoors. Even if they seem harmless, raccoons are wild animals that can damage your property and potentially harm you, your family, and your pets. As soon as you notice signs of raccoons on your property, address the situation by securing your garbage and consulting a pro.
