"I received a quote for trapping & removal of raccoon mother & babies of $295. Chris the main technician was great. He explained everything. All my good ratings relate to him. We spoke about exclusion work once the family was gone. My problem is that the exclusion never occurred. I was under the impression that it was going to be done. Chris was going to give me a name of a contractor to perform a formal repair (that I understood would be additional monies), the wire mesh exclusion would be done as an interim. I did receive a bill for additional $250 but thought it was for the exclusion work, so I wasn’t going to pay until the exclusion was completed. In the meantime squirrels took up space a month later. After several bills & one threatening my credit, I called and spoke to 1 woman ( I believe Penny) who took my calls, but none from Norma the office manager. I was told by Penny the additional money due from the repeated bills was for original trappings. We sorted out everything. I had no issue with paying for the additional trappings (even though I was quoted & signed the contract for a lesser amount). But the real reason for the bad review, is because Penny told me they would come back & eliminate & exclude the squirrels that have taken up residence in the space from the raccoon family for a reduced amount. When I got the new quote, there was absolutely no discount! The price was the same amount for 1 squirrel ( I had told them I saw at least 2) that I paid for the raccoon family & the exclusion was additional. I felt that had the job been completed as originally discussed, I wouldn’t have needed to have squirrels evicted for an additional full charge. I am vey disappointed in the miscommunication by the office staff, despite the great service of the technicians."

"Patrick was amazing. He was on time and very friendly and professional. We had a large hornet's nest high up in a tree that was pretty daunting to reach given it's height and the fact that it was dangling over our neighbor's yard. Despite the challenge, he gamely climbed our neighbor's garage roof and used an extension pole to take care of the nest. He was very careful to knock it into our yard and he picked up the nest and even climbed the ladder one more time to spray the remains of the nest so the hornets wouldn't come back. What really impressed me was his attitude when faced with what I thought was a pretty tough task and his rapport with both me and my neighbors who were watching with interest! Also he knows A LOT about hornets. It was really interesting. He's a gem, I'd sure have him back for future work. Thank you!"

FAQs for animal removal projects in Boston, MA
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.
