If you’re looking for humane and efficient wild animal removal services, you’ve come to the right place. Varment Guard Wildlife Services was founded in 1983 and has been passionate about delivering environmentally conscious and safe wildlife pest removal services ever since. From rowdy raccoons to ornery opossums to damaging deer, bats, moles, or groundhogs, we have experience solving and preventing many types of wildlife challenges. We offer wild animal removal services to Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and parts of Kentucky and Wisconsin. So, if you’re wondering, where can I find quality wildlife services near me? Look no further. Varment Guard has you covered.

"The project was evaluated and determined that services were not necessary. Will, the inspector, was very professional and gave us some good recommendations. He possibly saved us thousands of dollars ( from another local exterminator’s services who quoted around $2000). I will use your services in the future, should I need to. I will recommend this company to family and friends. We are extremely pleased and relieved."

"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."

"The south side location of Rose Pest Control that was handled by the Indiana Team, initially started smooth and approaching 2 years of service for me. During COVID period there was a change in staff and management. From there, Poor follow up - No Calls, and poor service where only partial work was done(No Signature confirming work was done), but the the Indiana (Franklin) Rose Pest Control Team expected full payment(to which I stopped the auto deduction the payments) for the subpar, partial work that they did not complete. Despite my several attempts in contacting them to complete the unfinished job). After my frustration with them died down, I attempted to resolve the matter and made several calls(unanswered). I then received a bill for what was claimed as service rendered but the service was not complete. I never received a followed up despite my attempts to reach out to address the matter. The Indiana staff didn't care to assist or nor bother understand my issue. You "had" a Long Term Customer but poor management blew the opportunity"

Your family owned fireplace & chimney service. We are small enough to care and big enough to give you a good quality service, offering free estimates and you can also call us for advise on any fireplace & chimney questions.

"We called them out for a chimney sweep and inspection as well as a dryer vent cleaning. Upon inspecting the fireplace and chimney, we were told that the chimney was clean and did not need serviced. We were advised that the chimney needed a new cap, but the fireplace was too old to get parts for and they would not use aftermarket parts. The fireplace was installed in 1996. They provided us with a quote to replace the fireplace for $18,500 all due to a missing cap! Upon having another contractor inspect the fireplace, we were advised that the fireplace was fine and only needed some minor repairs. We also did some research online and found that the parts that they told us were no longer available, can still be purchased! They charged us $400 to NOT sweep the chimney and give us an outrageous quote, which was not needed! Now, on to the dryer vent... They inspected the dryer vent and advised it could not be cleaned as it was a flexible vent hose and not a solid pipe. They gave us an estimate for another $1200 to put in a solid vent pipe and still charged us $150! They did nothing except give us a quote! Totally unacceptable! We spoke with the owner about these ridiculous charges and he was totally unwilling to work with us on what we were charged. This is a horrible company to deal with and has some very shady businesss practices. Beware! They WILL try to scam you for as much as possible!"

"I thought I had squirrels in the wall,but when Ax came out he checked around the entire house and didn’t see any signs of squirrels coming in anywhere, however he did go in attic and stated it could be nice so he dropped poison packs and said I should stop hearing the sounds within a few days. He stated he will be back in a couple of weeks. They replied to my email and even though Josh said he couldn’t make it, he will see if he could get someone out, within a hour, Ax called me and came out and took care of the problem."

"They did not follow their contract. We did more than what they asked and still didn’t have good results with them. When we asked why they would not guarantee their work, they staff lady just said unfortunately that’s just our policy. What’s the point of a contract then?"

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.

Removal typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per item, depending on accessibility and size.

Honey bees are most likely to swarm during spring and early summer, typically from April through June, as colonies expand and prepare for new growth. Swarming occurs when a hive becomes overcrowded, prompting the queen and a group of worker bees to leave in search of a new nesting site. During this time, you may notice a temporary increase in bee activity around your property.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and spotted lanternflies love.
