"Josh is amazing. I called DMV wildlife for bird removal from my bathroom vents. Josh came cleaned and sanitized the bathroom vents inside and out. He also installed a basket to make sure they canâ t get back in! He also recommended a basket for our dryer vent so they wouldnâ t go from one vent entrance to another. Josh went over and beyond and cleaned the dryer vent. DMV wildlife is HIGHLY recommended! Thanks again Josh!"

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

If they find a hospitable spot with shelter, water, and a steady food source, there’s a good chance groundhogs will return—or not leave at all.

Generally, squirrels are not considered aggressive toward humans. They are more likely to flee than confront people. However, like many animals, they may exhibit aggressive behavior if they feel threatened or cornered. If you approach a squirrel too closely or try to handle it, especially if it's a mother protecting her young, it may resort to defensive tactics such as biting or scratching.

Yes, you can get rid of armadillos naturally. In fact, the most effective armadillos repellents are made from natural substances, whether that be a DIY repellent of crushed garlic or cayenne pepper or a granular commercial product made from a castor oil base. The unpleasant smells and tastes of these products will drive armadillos away.

What you should do with an armadillo after you catch it depends on what your local laws dictate. Often, it's easiest to relocate an armadillo rather than euthanize it. Contact your local wildlife control office or experts for information specific to your area. After removal is complete, be sure to repair any holes left in your yard or under your home.

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.
