109 They told me that a replacement was not necessary. However, they did find that an animal had made a hole near our chimney. They repaired the hole by removing some shingles, installing a metal pan and then reshingling and sealing the area. I had hired a second roof company to review the roof...
Newman RoofingI spoke with Adam, who informed me that the animal would be trapped but it was illegal to relocate so the animal would be killed. In fact I said, so I should just kill the animal. His response was yes.
SCRAM! Wildlife ControlAfter many attempts on our own to convince the raccoon(s) that the corner foundation of our home was an unsuitable latrine site for them, I turned to Angie's List and found Jerry Barker and Affordable Animal Control, Inc. THANK GOODNESS! My husband asked a coworker if he had any suggestions...
Affordable Animal Control IncI received several estimates and liked the pricing philosophy of this company the best. It was basically a flat fee for removal of as many animals as could be trapped in 10 week days (traps are tied open and not checked on the weekend). Seemed like a good way to go as I knew we had more...
Varment Guard Wildlife ServicesThere are 5 or 6 different vets that work there and they are all amazing! They take care of the animals as if they were their own.
Gahanna Animal HospitalThe exterminator treated outside and inside for the ants. I was a little hesitant to let him treat inside as I have a cat and dog, but the treatment has been effective and I haven't noticed any adverse effect on the animals.
Ohio Exterminating CoI came home from work yesterday to find a dead animal lying in my driveway. I had no idea what kind of animal it was. I live in the city and am used to cats and dogs but this was neither. A year or two ago, I had gotten Dave's business name on Angie's List and contacted him to come out and...
All of the employees of the Animal Hospital of New Albany are knowledgeable and sincerely caring people. Saving my little dog is one of many experiences that I have had with the kind people of The Animal Hospital of New Albany. No matter what the service, well care, emergency, putting my 19...

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.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
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.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
