We’ve been helping animals with people problems since 1996! Providing humane treatment of wildlife removal, repairs and prevention makes us the best long-term solution in the business! We also provide full Bat Remediation and attic cleaning.

"Bill from Act Live Trapping is a true miracle sent from God. Truly!!! The wood on the fascia board of our home rotted and broke off and a squirrel got in and had been damaging more of the fascia, gutters and sounded like monkeys wrestling in the attic every day 😂. It got so bad I moved everything out of my office room into our bedroom because I couldn’t take it anymore. Every company I called would be extremely expensive to get the squirrel out then would have to hire someone else to do the fascia repair and rehang the gutters. I couldn’t believe it when Bill told me he could do it all and no where near what I could ever imagine. I still don’t believe the pricing 😆❤️. Felt like I was working with family the whole step of the way! He set a trap for that lil booger of a squirrel fixed the fascia and rehung our gutters and work with us to schedule the pay due to my aunt passing away the week we were supposed to get it done. My husband and I were dealing with a lot this month so God sending Bill was a miracle and relief. We are so happy and blessed for Bill at Act Live Trapping there’s not enough words to express our gratitude but just know we are so very thankful and grateful for you and the Act Live Team. Even the reception called and checked on me they are all so very sweet and a true blessing they do amazing work. Bill is my new family member now who I have adopted myself 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️."

Michigan Wildlife Solutions is a professional Wildlife control company and provide humane wildlife removal practices. We are a poison free company and specialize in poison free mice control. We are one of the only companies in Michigan with nearly 20 years of bat removal experience.

"I had service performed 7 days ago on March 30th to remove/prevent birds from entering my dryer vents. The service ended up being different (less) than what was initially estimated. I contacted Michigan Wildlife Solutions the same day for the difference as I had already paid half of the estimate to get started. I was told I would be contacted by the office manager. On Friday of the same week, I called back because I had not received the call from the office manager nor had I gotten a refund. At that time, I also noticed that my credit card had been charged for the balance of the original estimate even though a second payment had not been authorized. When I called Michigan Wildlife Solutions, I was told that the balance is automatically charged after the work is completed. This was totally inconsistent with the electronic invoice I received that indicated a pay by date for the balance. In fact, I also received a mailed invoice requesting the balance to be paid, not indicating that I was already charged for the balance. I waited until Wednesday (4/6) to call back as I wanted to be patient and allow the process to happen. However, after 5 business days, I still have not heard from the office manager who was supposed to be in touch a week ago. I called back on 4/8 because at this point, I am NOT getting the service and respect as a customer that I deserve. I was given the office manager’s direct phone number (the email communications give a different number that says is for the office manager). I called Brooke-the office manager and left a voicemail message. Three hours later, I have not received a call back so I called again and was sent to voicemail. As there are several other neighbors in my subdivision that have the same bird issue, I would NEVER use this business again nor would I EVER refer a neighbor to use Michigan Wildlife Solutions. If I do not hear back from someone by the end of the business day today, I will be contacting an attorney to get me the refund that I am entitled to for work that has not been completed because it was not needed."

Animal removal services FAQs

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.
