"Josh,owner,set traps on Memorial Day. Caught and removed 3 adult racoons so far, and removed each animal each morning. Also, sealed entrance ways to my garage attic. Provided a bird nesting deterant to keep birds from building a very messy nest over my car. Very reasonably priced for all services provided.Very professional. I'd call him again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend him."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

Once the animals and their young are out of the house, remove the nest and locate any entry points. Some may be difficult to find because some animals can fit through very small holes. Once you’ve located as many entry points as possible, use materials such as metal or masonry to block off the entry. Ideally, you should choose materials that most animals cannot chew through. Create a one-way door or flap to allow animals to leave but not return. Additional methods include using repellants designed to make an area unappealing to the types of animals that find your home so inviting. 

You can make a DIY frog repellent with salt, citric acid, or vinegar. Spray the repellent around your pool to deter frogs from jumping in.

When it comes to where raccoons nest, they can establish a home pretty anywhere. They may make their homes in crawl spaces, attics, and chimneys. Barn lofts, haystacks, and even storm sewers can double as raccoon dens. Also, they are known for setting up multiple dwellings for their use.

Using chemicals with harsh odors is a natural way to repel bears. While the animal’s strong sense of smell is an asset in the animal kingdom, it’s a weakness here. Simply place bleach or ammonia in a bucket and leave it outside day or night. Ironically, bears also dislike the smell of pine, so you can use pine oil or a pine-based cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaning products with fruit or citrus smells, however.
