Adam was simply the best. I really appreciate his honesty and efficacy for removing groundhogs and opossums from around my home. Especially the groundhogs that dug Hugh holes under my gas meter and along my home foundation. Well I can go outside now without always checking to see if there's a groundhogs on my front…

Excellent experience. We had a starling in our chimney and Adam came the same day I called at the end of what I'm sure was a long, hot day. He took care of the issue within 2 minutes. Adam was super friendly and professional. Highest recommendation.

I highly recommend MI Home Wildlife Management. From the beginning, they were transparent and actually encouraged me to first make sure the groundhog was living on my property rather than just passing through. I really appreciated that they were trying to make sure I didn’t spend money unnecessarily.
Once I confirmed I had a resident groundhog, I contacted Adam and he was out the same day. He set three traps and ultimately caught two groundhogs, along with a few other animals I didn’t even realize were around. Adam came back every day to check the traps and promptly removed anything that had been caught.
Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, whether by phone or text, and I always knew what was happening. Professional, responsive, honest, and easy to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to use MI Home Wildlife Management again and highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a wildlife problem.

Especially the groundhogs that dug Hugh holes under my gas meter and along my home foundation. Well I can go outside now without always checking to see if there's a groundhogs on my front porch. I feel a little safer now maybe 75-80% not 100% but getting there. Thank you so much. It was truly worth the cost for a peace of mind. Especially for a senior citizen using a cane.
