"I was told bed bugs had infested my old mattress as the mattress techs were removing it (they actually refused to remove it; I had to ask a passerby for help). I contacted Heathy Home Pest Control and was told to put potentially affected clothing in the dryer for an hour and bag them tightly. A tech came the next day. He found no bed bugs in my bedroom but rather carcasses of bugs under the love seat in my living room. The tech sprayed thoroughly and explained all about bed bugs. I have 10 days to call back if I see any bugs."

"John was very professional and efficient. He was able to get to us fairly quickly. He explained what he needed to do and approximately how long it would take. He also came back a few weeks later and cleaned and sanitized the area, which was helpful to my husband and I."

"The animal control expert was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and professional in every way. He kept me updated on the progress every day. When we were certain all raccoons were removed, he patched the entry point with a metal plate to ensure no other pests entered. He kept me informed on what bait was used and why. I would definitely hire CMM again for any type of wildlife problem."

"Needed moles removed from yard. Scott was able to come out the next day and place traps. He will come every two weeks or so to check the traps and will continue to remove any moles caught over the next year. Was actually surprised at how reasonable the price was for the service."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Setting up an animal trap in your yard largely depends on where you live and the type of critter you're dealing with. In many states, trapping nuisance animals like squirrels, rats, or raccoons is allowed, sometimes without needing a permit. However, certain wildlife species are protected, and not all states have lenient catch-and-release regulations.

Before placing a trap, check your local laws to avoid fines or other legal issues. Some areas allow DIY trapping, while others may require professional assistance. Most areas require a professional to relocate the animal once trapped. Consulting a pro ensures you handle the situation responsibly, humanely, and within the law.

DIY treatments may help minor issues, but professionals provide long-term solutions and prevent recurrence.

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.
