"Have had an issue with squirrels getting into attic and have had a couple different companies come out and try and trap but they were not successful. Buckeye Wildlife was able to set up a trapping system that captured the squirrels and then repaired the entry point so that our issue has been resolved. Very professional service. Communicated with us daily through text and emails."

"We have had a pest control contract on each of 3 homes since 2006 and LOVE our friends at First Response. They make it easy for us to renew our contract annually, come out each quarter to service our home, and on the very rare occasion we've had a pest concern they've been super responsive. I always answer the phone when I see they're calling! They show up when they say they will, charge the amount agreed upon, and we very rarely see any bugs at all. Huge peace of mind! I think our annual service agreement (for 4 quarterly treatments) is about $600."

"An aggressive raccoon would not leave our yard. We were worried about our pet and also more raccoons showing up. The guy tracked it to a tree top near the property line and removed it."

"I have used Greenix since 2016 and I am happy with their services. They charge me a reasonable price to routinely inspect and treat my home to keep pests out. Whenever I need them to do extra treatment inside they are accommodating at no extra charge. They also come out between treatments at no extra charge if something was unresolved. On today's treatment, they pointed out mice burrows around my home. Even though we do not think they are in the house, they offered a reasonable price to set out traps and keep the rodents away. The technicians are always friendly and accommodating. Unlike prior pest control services I used in the past that carelessly douse everything in poison, they show legitimate concern toward not spraying things around the house that kids or people may touch. Our house is bug free and I plan to keep using them."

Squirrel Control 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.
