My company's Goals were defined as follows: I was born and raised in the Southern Tier of New York State. I have worked for the past twelve years in two major local pest control firms. I have attended all required New York State courses and currently hold licenses in both New York and Pennsylvania. About six years ago, I decided to strike out on my own and present an honest, knowledgeable and friendly answer to your Pest Control needs. I am anxious to make a name for myself and make those three words my Calling Card. As you will see, my fees are reasonable and my work is prompt and efficient.

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

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. 

DIY removal risks harming bees and you. Professionals offer safe and effective solutions protecting both parties.

Ensure proper ventilation, address leaks, and conduct regular inspections.

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.

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.
