2: What types of animals, birds or reptiles do you not service?

We service all wild animal, bird, reptile, or insect needs, but we do not provide trapping services for big game animals (ex. deer, elk, cougars, mountain lions, eagles, hawks, etc.) For these animals we only provide control services to keep them off of properties. This is done through the use of exclusionary fencing, blocking, hardware cloth, repairs, etc.

6: Do you rehabilitate injured birds, animals, or snakes?

Unfortunately, injured birds, animals, or reptiles normally don’t survive. If you would like to hire us to rehabilitate the bird, animal or reptile, we would be happy to try to help you locate an animal rehabilitation service in your local area. Once again, contact your local animal control for rehab services.

7: I’ve found a lost baby animal. Can you help me find its mother?

It’s best if you leave wildlife where you find it untouched, so that the mother can retrieve her offspring.

8: Do you know where I can find my lost pet?

When we capture a domesticated dog or cat, we deliver it to the local city animal control department. Because we are a nationwide animal control company, we would encourage you to call your local animal control agency or possibly the police who could direct you to the proper sources to help you find your lost pet. We also provide pet locating services if a pet, snake, or hamster, etc. gets lost inside your home.

1: How do you trap or gain control of wild animals, birds, and reptiles?

Top of Control Methods

2: Do you use humane traps while trapping?

All of our traps are humane traps meaning that we use safe live traps. Different styles of traps are used for different animals. In the various states, wildlife control agencies and city and county animal controls have laws allowing certain types of traps to be used. If you have a preference for the type of trap that we use, you are welcome to suggest alternative trapping techniques. Some states and cities allow the use of snap or body gripping traps, which kill humanely as they are activated by the animal. Customers may request a preferred trap.

3: Do you tranquilize the animals when you remove them from a structure?

Many of the animals that get into attics, walls, chimneys, or crawlspaces need to be controlled by tranquilizing techniques. Normally, safe trapping techniques are used along with catch poles to snare the animal.
Top of Control Methods

4: After you capture the wild animal, bird or reptile and remove it from our residential or commercial site, what do you do with it?

Depending on the health of the animal and state or county laws, animals must be euthanized or relocated to an area where they will not create a conflict with the public in the future. As much as possible, we try to find a wild environment in which they may be relocated.
Top of Control Methods

5: When you remove families of animals from a structure, do you relocate them as a family?

Ofttimes if the general health of the animal is good and the offspring will likely survive, then the female and her young will be relocated to a habitat that is conducive for that particular species.
Top of Control Methods

6: When trapping doesn’t work, what other methods could be used?

Pesticides, insecticides, and poisons can be used, but professional trapping, exclusion or block-out will normally solve the problem. When using poisons, we must take precautions to prevent the animals from dying in an area where it will create a dead animal odor, maggots, and fly infestations. When this scenario occurs, the body decomposes over a period of six weeks to two years, depending on the size of the animal. The smell and insect pests that the carcasses attract are extremely unpleasant. This is why trapping and exclusion are the preferred methods.

7: Do you exterminate through the use of pesticides or insecticides (kill products)?

Yes, depending on the situation, we utilize kill products. Our insecticides and pesticides are perfectly safe for humans and pets and can be used indoors for insect control. However, we try not to use kill products inside crawlspaces, attics, living areas or working areas for animal control, bird control, or reptile control.

4. Why do you charge for trapping and removal of animals?

1: Is there a local government who will take care of the problem for free?

No, for liability concerns the city and county agencies do not take care of wild animal problems. If a wild animal, bird, reptile or insect is causing damage to your home or commercial building, it is your responsibility to hire a contractor like us to resolve the problem. City and county agencies are normally only helpful with tame or domestic dogs. They are not in charge of wild animals or cats. Dog work is the only work that is free from the city.

2: How much do you charge for animal, bird, and reptile control work?

Animal control prices vary depending on the animal, its location inside or outside of a structure, your location in relation to the service technician, and the danger factor associated with controlling a particular animal, bird, reptile, insect, etc.

We are a private professional business. City animal control does not provide these types of services; they are usually overwhelmed with domestic dog complaints. It is also illegal for animal control to provide wild animal services.
