"In a panic I paid Adcock's $95 just for an inspection. They confirmed that there were probably raccoons (I don't think they actually saw any). They quoted a high cost to set up traps and prevent any animals from entering through the openings to the basement. I then called another trapper that was recommended who did a FREE inspection and did not find any raccoons or signs of any having been there. For a much more reasonable price he placed traps that would catch any animals that might be in the house (none were caught) and also from outside. I paid him and he caught a raccoon from outside the house and took him away to be let loose in the woods in the country somewhere (far away from my house). I called Adcock to ask if they might refund the $95 inspection fee that I had paid in my panic but they refused. I have never heard any noises in my basement ceiling again, so I believe there were certainly never any raccoons; I might have been hearing mice, which I did have. I used an exterminator to control those."

"Great job performed. Two technicians showed up. I filled them in on where the issue was. They expertly got to work and performed the tasks. They inspected the vent after removal of the birds nest and debris. They sanitized the vent. Great pros!"

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Voles are attracted to areas with lots of vegetation that they can hide in. Since they eat mostly grasses, tubers, and bulbs, a robust garden can attract voles that wouldn’t have looked twice at a barren rock garden. Voles also like to hide out in dense ground cover, so that can attract them as well.

Even if you have extreme ophidiophobia (fear of snakes), don’t try to shoot or kill them with a shovel. Besides being pretty cruel, killing snakes in most states is illegal unless your life is at risk and many species are protected. 

Plus, you're putting yourself at greater risk using these techniques if it goes wrong and the now-angry snake is venomous.

Squirrels hate not having access to secure shelter or food sources. Your best line of defense is to make your property less attractive by removing access to these things. There are chemical squirrel repellents, but these have mixed success. According to Pennsylvania State University, you can apply products containing the bittering agent denatonium saccharide to a squirrel's favorite fence, tree, or roof spots. However, you need to reapply repellents regularly, which aren’t scientifically proven effective.

Some animals, such as bats or birds, will be able to get out of chimneys on their own since they can fly. Other animals, however, may have a harder time and will require the help of a professional to escape. Squirrels and raccoons in particular may become stuck inside a chimney, especially if you have a buildup of soot or creosote inside. This can prevent them from being able to climb out, in which case you’ll need to call an animal control expert to help remove them.
