Unwanted House Guests?
Noises in the attic? Our furry neighbors need to stay outside.
Gnawing on your soffits? Strange odors? Knocked-over trash cans? Whatever the reason for your call, critters can wreak havoc once they're inside a structure.
Nuisance wildlife can lead to expensive repair bills — including chewed wiring that creates a potential fire hazard. On top of the noticeable smell from the urine and droppings they leave behind, wildlife are walking lists of parasites and diseases.
How we solve it
Our 3-Part Wildlife Process
A proven process that resolves your wildlife issue quickly — while safely respecting both your property and the animals being removed.
Inspection
Our fully certified staff conduct a complete inspection of your property — visually and with remote camera monitoring — to identify the species causing the problem, locate access points, and assess any damage.
Removal Plan
We formulate a removal plan using industry best practices for that specific animal and situation. This may include live trapping, exclusion devices, or in some cases lethal trapping. We follow all Ohio Department of Natural Resources regulations for the trapping, removal, and disposition of wild animals.
Prevention & Exclusion
The final step. We recommend the repairs and exclusion work needed to seal entry points — handled by our team or an outside firm — and note preventative measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of future wildlife issues.
Wildlife We Handle
We handle most wildlife situations a property owner might encounter
From attic intruders to yard diggers — if it's getting into your home or property, we can help.
Raccoons
Strong and clever; they nest in attics and chimneys, tear up insulation and wiring, and leave droppings that can carry roundworm.
Groundhogs
Burrow beneath decks, sheds, and foundations — undermining structures and tearing up gardens.
Opossums
Den under porches and in crawlspaces, bringing fleas and ticks and raiding trash and pet food.
Squirrels
Chew through soffits and fascia to reach attics, gnawing on wiring and creating a real fire risk.
Chipmunks
Burrow along foundations, walkways, and retaining walls — and slip indoors looking for food.
Skunks
Den under decks, porches, and sheds; dig up lawns and bring a spray risk for curious pets.
Muskrats
Burrow into pond banks, ditches, and shorelines, damaging landscaping and earthen structures near water.
Moles & Voles
Tunnel through yards and gardens, leaving raised ridges, mounds, and chewed-up roots and bulbs.
