"Jake did a thorough inspection, and quoted several treatment options. First, he trapped two squirrels who were entering the house through a hole above a gutter. Once he was sure the attic was clear and all the squirrels were caught, he installed a metal covering over the entrance hole that was similar in color to the wood trim. At another part of the house, there was a hole in the wood paneling of a wall where small animals or birds could enter. Jake also installed a metal plate of similar color over this hole, insuring that no animal could get in. All in all, Jake was personable, on time, and very responsive to my calls and texts."

"Initially I thought I had termites. Tech did a thorough check and explained to me why what I saw was an ant colony. Phew. So I opted for the perimeter pest control, as I had always wanted to get that done, and I like the tech spending time answering my questions and responding to my concerns. He even took care to not spray anything harmful around my vegetable garden."

"Randy was amazing! We had a bird get into our fireplace for the second time in four months. We thought we had the problem fixed back in March by the fireplace company we hired, but that's not the case. I called Randy at 8am and he was at my house at 11am. He knew exactly what the problem was and put wire around the gap and was done in 15 minutes. He also took time to look above my garage because I was paranoid we had animals all over the house now. He also checked the outside of the house to make sure there were no other ways animals could get in and showed me where the previous owners had patched a place where a raccoon likely had access to above the garage. I appreciated how helpful he was and how he fixed the problem! Hopefully we're done with birds for good!"

Small Animal Pest Control Service FAQs

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.
