Wildlife Control Solutions for your Home or Business

Our mission is to protect our customers and their properties, by providing professional wildlife removal, exclusion, and remediation services.

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.

Common hitchhikers include:

histoplasmosis, fleas, ticks, mites, rabies, leptospirosis, distemper, and raccoon roundworm.

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.

Warning Signs

Not sure what's living in your home?

A few of the most common signs that wildlife has moved in.

Scratching or thumping in the attic, walls, or ceiling — often at night or early morning.

Droppings in the attic, garage, or basement, or near entry points.

Chew marks or damage on soffits, fascia, vents, or wiring.

Unusual odors from the attic or crawlspace — ammonia, musty, or a rotting smell.

Animals around the foundation or on the roof at dawn or dusk.

Digging or burrows near the foundation, under porches, or across the yard.
