"Very well. It went exactly as Kevin suggested it would go. Fortunately there was only one animal to remove. A second trap was provided and monitored for 4 days. No animal went into it and there was no additional cost for the second trap."

"Our experience with KC Critter Control was absolutely fantastic. Patrick responded to our request almost immediately and was able to come out and help us with the removal of a dead animal in our attic very quickly, which was great because we were about to head out of town and wanted to solve the problem ASAP. Patrick was great with communicating and responsiveness as well. I highly recommend KC Critter Control - they were able to take all the stress out of the situation for us!"

"The last company I hired left us with a mice problem. However after about a month was brought under control. They mentioned a sure way to totally eliminate rodents but with my 100 year old home I couldn’t be convinced. They’ve done well so far."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

While you may be hearing squirrels running around your attic at night, these animals are usually more active during the day. If you hear scratching sounds in your attic at night, it’s mostly likely a mouse, raccoon, or bat. Investigate your roof, attic, and other entrances to your home to find signs that indicate the presence of squirrels or other pests.

Although it would make things easier for you, animals won’t likely leave the attic on their own. Unless the animal finds seasonal respite in your attic, it’s likely to stay in a protected space as long as it is allowed. Get rid of animals in your attic by calling the appropriate wildlife removal professionals so they can safely and efficiently remove the critters from your home, being careful to avoid further damage to your home.

Gophers do not hibernate, meaning you could, at least theoretically, have a gopher problem in your yard any time of year. During the colder parts of the year when soil isn't as easy to work with, gophers may not dig as many holes or be as active and instead will burrow deeper into the earth to go below the frost line to stay warm.

You can expect to see more gopher activity during the spring and fall when warmer temperatures make digging easy, and there is an abundance of new (or recently harvested) plant life available for them to graze on. They come out during the day and sleep at night.

To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.

It’s debatable, but most will say either termites or bed bugs are the hardest to remove. When dealing with termites, you must find the central nest (as opposed to satellite nests) and exterminate the queen and all potential queens, which often takes the work of a specialist. Bed bugs, meanwhile, are incredibly hardy, good at hiding, and resistant to pesticides, so it takes very careful, very thorough work to get rid of them permanently.
