Another Critter Gone

They were excellent. They replaced the insulation, cleaned up after themselves, worked with our insurance company, and got rid of the raccoons.

After the mole traps were put out, we immediately had some traps that had been tripped.  They would come back and check the traps weekly and reset.  I wasn't sure if I had an infestation or one very smart mole as we weren't catching anything.  After numerous weeks and resets, I finally got a note on my door that we caught and killed one!  After that I have had no more mole holes making a mess in my yard.  I guess I had one really smart mole who was doing a lot of damage!  I appreciate the work that was done and that he left the traps out longer than agreed upon since we had not caught anything.  I would definitely hire again, but I hope I don't need to!

He came to the house several times. He installed the cage up by the attic where the squirrels were getting in. We would call when there was a squirrel in the cage and he would come and remove it and put it up another cage.  He was very prompt and knowledgeable each time, and we no longer have squirrel problems in our attic.  He was polite and helpful, and told us how to repair where the squirrels were getting into the attic to help prevent it from happening again. I would absolutely recommend this company.

If your looking for a quick or timely response or for someone to contact you via the on-line scheduling system then look else where. I am still waiting on a response and its been 4 days. I cannot judge on their services as none were performed but you might want to call them versus using the angle's list scheduling system as that has proved untrustworthy.
I am giving them a C because lack of follow-up could have been due to Angie's List scheduling/message system.

This was at my daughter's home and after seeing the rats she was rather alarmed and scared.  She has a three year old and they needed to see the rats removed right away.  They also have pet dogs and needed the approach to be pet safe.  Randy did a great job of rapid follow-up, setting the traps, and the rats were gone within a few days, as he predicted.  We've very happy with the service.

Although the provider was successful in removing 2 chipmunks, the traps he set seemed no better than ones we could have purchased and placed ourselves. Also, we still had chipmunks in the area after he "finished" the service.  So we are going to have to call another animal remover service this summer, as we cannot repave our driveway until we are sure that there are no chipmunks digging holes beneath it. 
I had also hoped that the removal of the wildlife would have entailed relocation, but the removal was in fact extermination.

They were quick, knowledgeable and professional.

The service went well, the company responded promptly to my request to inspect the attic of my home and quickly determined the animal entry point.  A trap was set and a squirrel was caught by the next day.  A total of two animals were trapped and taken away.  The only minor complaint I have is that I was rarely able to get a hold of a person when I called to have the animals picked up.  I left a message and my requests were responded to in a timely fashion.

iInitially called Wildlife Removal on the morning of Saturday April 26th after noticing that an animal had recently dug a burrow under my front steps and asking them to come out. They came out to my house just after lunch and identified that a groundhog had dug the hole and proposed to leave a baited have a heart trap for $120 and a $65 charge for each animal removed. All fees were invoiced after the animals were caught or the traps removed. Left the trap in place for over a week (I re-baited it myself once as the apples were drying out) with no capture. I was getting ready to fill in the hole (assuming Mr. Groundhog had moved on) and placed some debris at the entrance to make sure there was no traffic.  To my surprise, the next morning the debris was moved and the day after the bait was gone from the trap. The trap was sitting on gravel fill the groundhog and dug out from under the steps and had interfered with the trip mechanism on the trap. Called Wildlife removal and informed them about the issue, They came out that afternoon and reset and re-baited the trap. This led to a couple of days of the critter eating some of the entry bait (but not getting to the trip plate).  About this time on one evening, I ended up with a strong skunk odor permeating the house. Mr Groundhog had been replaced by Mr. Skunk,  Called Wlildlife removal and they came out that afternoon to re-bait the trap differently. Again, Mr. skunk was very crafty and only ate the bait up to the trip plate numerous days. Called Wildlife Removal and they came out and reset the trap and tried to disguise the flooring to outsmart the skunk.  Mr. skunk was too smart for that and again stripped the entry bait.  Called the last time and Wildlife removal came out and basically placed the trap i a way that  forced Mr. Skunk to go through the trap to get out of the burrow. That got Mr. Skunk.  Called them the next morning and they came and took Mr. Skunk away and did an initial fill in of the hole. They also offered to perform a more complete fix (I assume with mesh, etc.), but I elected to do that myself.
In all I really got my money's worth: 5 visits to my house and 1 skunk removed. I was impressed with the responsiveness when I called and that they didn't just give up when the initial trapping attempts failed. I would highly recommend them.

They quickly identified the issues and recommended how to address he problems.  I was very satisfied with their services.
