Veteran owned and operated with over 20 years experience in tree trimming and removals. We carry work comp to protect you if there is an injury and a $1 million dollar liability insurance policy for accidents. Licensed by the City of Lafayette and City of West Lafayette for right of way trees.
"I could not ask for a better result. They were amazing. The event went very well. They accomplished in just over five hours what would have taken me several days even with renting a very high lift at considerable cost. I've cut down a lot of trees myself all without incident so I can typically discern the level of skill of someone with a chainsaw - and know when to run away. Truthfully, this was a very difficult job so my very wise wife encouraged me to hire someone for this one. I'm glad I listened. The tree was 85' high, 70 years old, 46" diameter two feet off the ground and over 3' wide many feet up the trunk. Its limbs were partly over our house, my neighbor's house and completely over our newly roofed shed, The neighborhood high voltage uninsulated power lines ran within a few feet of the back of the tree. Our power service line to the house, the TV cable and internet fiber lines actually all ran through the tree from the pole to the house. They coordinated with the power company to disconnect the power line to avoid damage and they lowered the other cables as much as possible. They also had protective covers for the cables on the ground that could not be disconnected. Since so much of the tree was over structures I believed some potential for damage was possible. I'm pleased and amazed that virtually nothing was damaged. This was a $3,000 job and I was very happy to write the check. They were professional in appearance and behavior, were responsive with scheduling and calls, prompt onsite, presented documented insurance with their quote which was well beyond adequate, were highly skilled and very well equipped with several trucks and large machines onsite. The five-man crew included a professional Arborist, were well organized, worked together effectively, practiced professional-level safety techniques for themselves and those of us watching. It was quickly clear I had made the right choice considering other quotes were both much higher and a little lower. I will definitely recommend them as my first choice to anyone needing the kinds of services they provide. I hope this review helps you make a good choice to use them for your needs."

"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.
Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
When budgeting for possum removal costs, consider number of animals, location, method of removal, and whether you do it yourself or hire a professional.
If iguanas are plaguing your home and destroying your property, proper removal is key. Learn the costs to expect from an iguana removal service.
Squirrel removal costs vary depending on the location, removal techniques, and any follow-up. This guide will help you budget for quick and safe eradication.
Using the best bait for skunks is a great way to capture these critters humanely. Here are the 5 most effective types homeowners can use.
