"Working with Buckeye Wildlife Solutions was a good experience. The office was easy to work with. Explained everything very well. Hunter came out the next morning. He was knowledgeable and caught the raccoon quickly. Will use Buckeye Wildlife Solutions again in the future."

"Jeff was very nice and professional. I can't really give an opinion until I know the bats are gone. That means I don't see anymore. Only time will tell. Send me a review in 6 months from now and I can give a complete opinion."

"I had not any birds come back. I thought they were very professional and caring about the work that they were doing, I was very pleased. Their price was far less than anybody that I called. They were very accommodating and did clean up after work."

"I couldn't find anybody to take care of my animal issue until I called Jake Wagers, and he not only solved my issue, but he also gave me some advice on how to keep animals out and to stop buying exotic animals."

"Randy was professional and great to work with. The other services were going to charge a setup fee plus $$/squirrel trapped. Randy trapped 8 squirrels and came each morning to take them away and set new traps for a 1 time set fee. I also had Randy do the repairs to the roof area the squirrels were entering. Will definitley use again and would highly recommend Dog Gone Wildlife to others. Price below includes the repairs."

"The wildlife specialists will be my go to service for any wildlife issue i have in the future. They was the 3rd company I called, after the 2nd one came out and walked my house for less then 2min before telling me it would be an absurd amount. I was about to tryband handle it my self but quickly discovered i was in over my head so i tried one more company and was lucky enough to come across the wildlife specialist. Kenneth was not only extremely professional, but extremely thorough. He not only walked the yard, pointing out places of interest where they have been eating and digging, but also found an entry point no one else pointed out to me. Kenneth inspected my attic and found a racoon has made him a home in there. Kenneth told he could not only catch the animal but also clean up the mess in my attic the raccon made, and patch up the entry point after he caught the racoon.and the best part is, even with the added on work, Kenneth was still cheaper then the other two companys i tried. I've already shared his info with all my friends and family, and i would strongly recommend The Wildlife Specialist to anyone who needs this type of service."

Wildlife 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.
