I was referred to WCS by the pest management company I normally use since they don’t deal with squirrels in the attic. This was one of the best referrals I’ve ever gotten! Tim from WCS arrived within 24 hours. He did a very thorough inspection of the attic spaces - even got into the hard-to-access part of the attic over the original part of the house. Tim is VERY knowledgeable, answered all my questions and was even willing to share insights on dealing with attic mice that I didn’t realize were present. He did a very thorough evaluation of the exterior of the house to identify any points of entry. In doing so, he also secured aluminum fascia and vinyl siding that had come loose over the past 21 years - all without being asked and all without charging a penny more. Since the squirrels had apparently vacated the soffit area prior to Tim’s arrival, he installed 2 traps at the point of access/egress - one to capture squirrels exiting and one to capture any that may try to re-enter. None were captured and Tim sealed the opening with aluminum. He was just great to deal with and I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

New customer, and received excellent service from Joe and his team. Very knowledgeable, experienced, and customer-focused. We had an urgent situation with animals getting into the house that drove me and my family from our home. WCS were very accommodating, rearranging their schedule to fit us in ASAP because of the nature of our need. Delivered an excellent service at a reasonable price and the team was very professional, informative, and a pleasure to work with. We had several others come out... highest marks to Joe and his team at Wildlife Control Specialists.

Fantastic. Attic was inspected to determine ingress and egress routes. Report was sent to us indicating work needed and price. Then trap was set in most frequent route and all other possibilities were sealed. 11 squirrels were captured over two days and relocated. After a week of no activity, trap was removed and that route was sealed. We highly recommend this company.

The guys (Joe, Matt, Tim and Sam) were all great. Very personable and friendly, and extremely flexible. We needed scaffolding put up for them, and the company handling that was not very reliable with their schedule. They guys were very accommodating and just rearranged their own schedules to come when it was ready. They worked long and hard to plug all the many areas, over a couple days time, leaving bat doors for them to escape. It seemed the problem was gone, but a few months later there was a small colony starting up again, and the guys came right back out to re-address. Believe me, this was no small job, and re-routing these bats, who are creatures of habit and often return to their familiar roost was quite a feat. The guys came out a couple more times and made sure the problem was completely gone. I almost can't believe that they really got all the bats to leave, but they did. It was nothing short of a miracle. And to top it off, these guys were so professional and informative, a total pleasure to work with and VERY REASONABLY PRICED. I just could not recommend more highly.

After hiring a few pest control companies that claimed they could eliminate the bats in our attic and having the bats return, I found the listing for Wildlife Control Specialists on Angie's list. After reading all the reviews, I called Joe, who explained in great detail everything you would ever need to know about bats and how they specialized in handling the problem. Tim came out to the house in January and explained the process and then went up on the roof and identified every possible entry point and documented them with photos which he showed me. He then explained that they would be back in the Spring to patch all but a few holes to give the bats an exit from the attic through installed one way bat tunnels, and after a few weeks would come back to seal the remaining exits. I was supplied with a detailed proposal with photos of all the potential entry points and a detailed description of the work that would be done. Tim was here for hours making sure everything was sealed. He was great to deal with and I even got to meet his 4 legged helper - Yaal who made herself at home in our yard. For anyone who has a bat problem, don't waste your time of money on hiring anyone other than Wildlife Control Specialists.

From the first phone call, I was grateful to have found Wildlife Control Specialists. They were courteous, informative and extremely professional. They took the time to answer our questions and explain their process. I will certainly use them again for any future Wildlife issues inside our outside of our home!

The guys from Wildlife Control Specialists were phenomenal. They came out to the house right away, did an inspection (we didn't originally know if it was racoons or squirrels or something else), and took pictures. They explained what they thought would be necessary and walked me through every step of the process. They worked fast, clean, and effectively - the racoons were out by the end of the week. They were always friendly, courteous, and respectful. I can't say enough about what a good job these guys do. They are outstanding and I would highly recommend them for any wildlife situation you need addressed.

I would highly recommend this company. Every person I spoke with was very knowledgeable, accomodating and understanding. They were able to come out for the initial inspection the day after I called and got back to me within 24 hours with a cost estimate. The work was completed within 2 weeks of being given an estimate. The bats were removed safely and I was assured that the problem is solved. I was also provided with a 2 year warranty so if the bats return I will be able to call them and they will remedy the situation. Their workmanship is impeccable. You would never know that work had been done along the crevices of my roof. The peace of mind that I have been given is immeasurable. Dealing with this company has been an absolute pleasure.

Called Wildlife Control Specialist, LLC. Tim, the Vice President of Operations, came to my home early the next day. Tim did a through review and analysis and not only spoke to me about what he found but also provided a detailed report, including pictures, of the problem. Tim corrected the problem and bats did not reappear. However, this year bats appeared in another area of my home. Called Wildlife and reported the problem. Tim appeared once again and corrected the problem. There was no charge for the follow up call. I strongly recommend Wildlife Control should you encounter any pest issues; as a first call. There are extremely courteous and knowledgeable. The work is first class. Try them you won't be disappointed, believe me.

I recommend Wildlife Control Specialists. They were responsive and enjoyable to work with. The traps were effective, and I was happy that they could make several roof repairs at the same time. Tim provided our service and was pleasant and knowledgeable. It was important to my wife that the animals be released safely, and Tim handled the captured animals with care and assured her they would be safe. We had squirrels in the attic. Tim set traps on the roof to capture the squirrel as it tried to reenter the house through the attic fan. He came over promptly when we notified him the squirrel was caught. He determined that the squirrel was lactating and came back the next day to find and remove 6 baby squirrels that were nesting in the insulation. He replaced the screen mesh around the attic fan with sturdier wire grid. He also photoed missing shingles on the peak of my roof, and areas of rot around vent pipes. The company offered a separate service to repair the roof, which makes a lot of sense. He also set up traps to capture a ground hog. The ground hog was persistent and dug around the cage the first time, and the company came back to set wire mesh around the hole to force the ground hog to exit into the trap. The ground hog was eventually caught, and the company came promptly to remove him when we notified them. They also filled 4 burrow entrances with concrete to stop another animal from using the burrow.

These guys did a great job! I was thinking it would be a miracle to catch one of the four groundhogs that had lived under the sunroom of my house for years now, but they caught the first one within two days, and all four of them within a couple of weeks. Matt, one of the co-owners, is like an animal expert - he set up the traps and the temporary fencing around my sunroom to give them no other way out but into the cages. I was amazed at how he took a look around and figured out very quickly how to resolve this problem. Joe, another owner, also came out once and you can tell that he also is a consummate professional. He came out to get one of these animals on a Sunday, which also happened to be Father's Day. Experience really is the key here.  I called other companies before I decided on Wildlife Control Specialist, and I'm so glad I chose wisely. You can't go wrong with this company!

Very impressed and very glad I worked with Wildlife Control Specialists to take care of my bat problem.  I was ready to hear the worst, dire news after the inspection; instead, I was reassured by the specialist, Tim, that my bat problem was manageable and not uncommon.  There was no high pressure pitch or gloomy warnings.  Tim took all in stride and was very calm and cheerful about the whole thing.  When I rec'd my estimate a few days after the inspection, I had no second thoughts about getting more quotes - I went with Wildlife Control Specialists.
The work was neat and tidy, with no overly noticeable signs that I had a bat exclusion done to my house.  After 3 weeks, the job was complete (bats can get out thru the 'one way door', but cannot get back in).  I'm also glad that the whole experience centered on humane handling of wildlife, much as I was creeped out knowing that bats were roosting in my chimney.
Everyone I spoke to was very professional and knowledgeable - from the owner, who called me back w/in 24 hours (and on a holiday weekend) to schedule an appointment - to Tim, whom I grilled with questions at the inspection, and calmly reassured me not to worry.  I had done my bat research, and knew everything Tim said was correct.  I also appreciate the  2 year warranty on the project.
In short, the work performed was neat and thorough, with no overly noticeable signs that I had a bat exclusion done to my house.  After 3 weeks, the job was complete (bats can get out thru the 'one way door', but cannot get back in).  I'm also glad that the whole experience centered on humane handling of wildlife, much as I was creeped out knowing that bats were roosting in my chimney.
I would recommend Wildlife Control Specialists to anyone who likes wild animals, just not in the house. I could not be more pleased.

Response from Wildlife Control Specialist LLC
"We removed 2 animals during the course of this project. The second animal at $150.00 and the sales tax we are required to collect accounts for the referenced $188.90 discrepancy. the member was well aware of our pricing structure which was explained to her prior to starting the engagement. With respect to communications, we were in contact with the owners "Grounds Manager" and he was aware of the fact that we removed 2 animals. Our policy is to sent an itemized invoice to our clients within 30 days of completing a job. If payment is not received then we follow up with the following note: To date we have yet to receive payment for the wildlife services we provided to you. In the event that you have misplaced our invoice we have enclosed a current statement with an addressed return envelope. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 908-566-8822. Thank you again for providing us with the opportunity to resolve your wildlife related problem. Best Regards: Interestingly when we were first contacted by the member on June 14, 2010 about a prior problem she was experiencing she decided to use another firm because she felt that we were "To Professional" which we interpreted as to expensive. Non- the less, she followed up regarding the problem we addressed for her with the following which she submitted to us via our website contact form: How do you want to be contacted E-mail Urgent? Yes Animals Other Animal Gopher Location Outside Remarks Gophers destroyed my gardens 3 years ago & they are just now coming back even though I lost quite a few plants because of the winter. I want them gone!!!"

We were very impressed by how knowledgeable this team was. Aside from the excellent job they did with the bat removal from our attic, they clearly had expertise in anything and everything related to wildlife, which was demonstrated through their ability to identify animal droppings and fur on the property. Communication was refreshingly professional and prompt, the proposal was detailed, and service was friendly and courteous. Although they were among the more expensive quotes for this service, we went with them because they clearly know what they are doing when it comes to wildlife. They also had a more extensive warranty than the other places we looked into, were appropriately licensed and wildlife certified, and were able to demonstrate their knowledge and experience. Also, they are local to us, so it felt great to be able to support a local family business!
