Eric did a wonderful job removing 5 raccoons from our property. He is very knowledgeable in his profession. We would recommend him highly.

It went extremely well, a raccoon was caught. When I called him he provided me a time that he would be out that very afternoon. He set two live cage traps with bait in front and behind the shed where it appeared the animal was entering. He was very responsive to my questions and reminded me to check the trap early the next morning. I set him a text and he immediately came out an took the raccoon and traps away.

Brian inspected my attic and gutters. The Squirrel didn't appear to be getting inside the attic. And Brian set a trap and caught the Squirrel in about 2 hours. They were prompt, professional and responsive to my texts.

Great. Caught several raccoons entering and exiting the attic. Put cage over fan where they were entering to stop future problems.

They were very responsive and so helpful. This was a lot as it took us quite awhile to finally catch all the critters.

Brian came out the day after I called and found the entry spot immediately. Set the trap and the very next day he had the critter to take away. He re-set the trap and left it for several days, coming by on his rounds to check it. No other raccoons or squirrels showed up. Today he removed the trap and covered the entry with metal so it could not be chewed through. He then checked my attic to see if I needed any clean up work from the raccoon's visiting. None was needed, so we were finished. Eric (the company owner who I first spoke with) and Brian the man who came on site were both very, very pleasant and helpful. I rate Brian's service AAA. He was just the greatest! I had called a couple other companies that I got from Angie's List who did not respond to my calls or who said they could not come out. I am so glad they did, for it put me in touch with Hoosier Wildlife Control -- the best fit for my needs. I recommend HWC without any reservations. Prices were stated upfront and were very reasonable for the peace of mind I now have: $165 for inspection; $65 for each animal trapped and removed; $125 for securing the entry location. No add -ons or"surprises" were added. Brian came by at least 5 times over a period of two weeks to climb up on the roof and inspect the trap. Rest assured you'll be glad you called HWC if you have the need.

Eric called to let me know he was on the way, and arrived a few minutes early. He did an inspection of the outside of my house, including walking the roof. He did not find any evidence of entry of any larger animals- everything looked nice and tight. He than went up into the attic and found evidence of mice. He spread out some poison pellets up there, and said the mice would find them, go outside looking for water and die outside. He told me to put some bait boxes along the walls inside the garage that would take care of the mice as they entered. He advised me that the best thing for us to do was get rid of our bird feeders that are an attraction for all kinds of different critters. Eric provided a wealth of information, and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him!

Cory McClung , owner, came on time for my home inspection. He went up in the attic to check it out. There was no visible bats at that time. His assistant did a outside inspection and found areas of entry. They came back a few days later and sealed up the house and garage leaving one opening, They mounted a bat excluder at the opening. This allows bats to leave, but not enter. After 10 days, they returned and removed the excluder. Really great company to work with. A little expensive, but this service usually is. I feel like they did a great job and stand behind their service. I would never call anyone else!

He was no good. He first came out in September and because it was so late, he had to come back in the spring. He came back in May. He said the bats were in the attic over the winter and had left droppings and everything, so they were going to have to use hazmat suits and everything to take out the insulation and all that kind of stuff. He estimated it at $5000. Actually, he did put the cone up, but the cone fell out. For the cone and seal up it was $420. I just didn't feel comfortable after that kind of estimate. So I got another guy to come out and he took a look upstairs. He said, "It's just a few droppings where the bats came in," and he charged me $250 and that was it. He came out with a vacuum and cleaned up and that was it.

Eric was very responsive to initial request and able to setup traps to capture the critters. Able to text when caught for quick removal. Provided quotes for repairs and completed in a timely manner.

Eric was able to come out right away (weather pending.) He located the entry point the animals were using and set up traps. We caught a squirrel a few hours after he set the trap! Whenever there was an animal captured, I called and he came to remove it. He and his partner periodically came out to check as well. After we felt the animals entering were all gone, they put tape over the opening to see if anything else was entering, but not getting trapped. After a week, they felt satisfied no other critters were coming and going so repaired the entry hole. He investigated inside the attic at the completion of the job to look for chewed wiring. Eric was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable.

Eric was very quick to respond to my phone call, answer any concerns I had, then get the trap set the next morning. He was also quick to come get the trap once the raccoon was caught. As well, he set an additional trap for almost another week to make sure we only had one c***, which I thought was going above and beyond. Would highly recommend.

Eric came out to my house to check for animals in my attic. I would guess that most providers would check the attic then leave. Eric went around our entire home with me and showed me potential entry points for what we found to be mice. He also went in my attic and went through the whole house to show possible entry spots and treatment points. His knowledge was impressive and his kindness, helpfulness and professional were awesome. I was very pleasantly surprised by the depth of knowledge and tips that Eric shared with me. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone who has pest questions / problems.

Very well.  On time, professional and provided good recommendations.  Eric responded right away to my call.  We had a squirrel that had gotten into the fireplace and died.   We had dealt with the smell over the holiday weekend and Eric was very quick to come out that day on Tuesday to get rid of it for us.    He was very helpful in telling me what we needed to do in regards to fixing the cap and getting a chimney sweep to inspect and clean so that we could eventually light a fire to completely get rid of the smell.    If something happens again at our house with needing critter removal, we will for sure call Eric again.
