"We thought we had one or more bats. They thought we had mice, so they treated for mice. In addition to bait stations, they looked over the house and sealed all they could, though they had to come back 2-3 more times to continue checking and finding new holes to seal. We are still not sure we are rid of the mice that are in the house. We did recently find 2 dead mice outside the house. Hard to know."

We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We are experts in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular task or project. We look forward to earning your business!

"Best Wildlife Solutions was very professional and responsive. Mike was personable and knowledgeable and he kept in touch with me throughout the process of evicting my raccoon tenants. I had used another service several years previously which had not only not trapped any raccoons, but had failed to find the entry points or to repair the damage done when several raccoons fell through my attic soffits. Best Wildlife caught three raccoons, sealed up all entry points, replaced damaged soffits and did everything possible to ensure that my attic will not again be occupied by these unwanted raccoon squatters. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. If you want the job done right, be sure to hire Best Wildlife Solutions. They really are the best!"

"Was charged about $500, for a visit with some baits/traps placed and an exterior review. However - there was no follow up, and no response even after I called a month or so later to indicate that the problem had returned. I am not a fan of one-and-done approach and am now signing up for a monthly plan with Orkin."

We still have mice there has been no change. Over the next three months I text twice (which showed as read) and an email with no response. They advertise 100% satisfaction guarantee. but will not respond to my text. They have been paid and we see NO results."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.

Professional removal preserves bee populations and ensures safe, effective hive relocation, protecting you from stings.

No, ground bees are not detrimental to the health of your lawn. In fact, the small holes created by ground bees can actually offer beneficial aeration which moisturizes and nourishes the ground. Additionally, ground bees are highly regarded as vital pollinators, meaning they help plants to reproduce. Unless you’re battling a severe infestation, leaving ground bees undisturbed can boost the health of your yard and the environment.
