Best service! I was concerned about reentering the house after cleaning the patio of a dove mess. He used a ladder to do everything from outside. Super clean and knowledgable about cleaning products, bird mites and how to prevent their return. I’d recommend this company without a doubt. Worth every penny!
Timely and excellent work ethics.
I was out of town and dealt entirely over the phone. Eric was professional on time and explained the entire racoon removal. I wanted to be sure Mama and babies were safely relocated and he thoroughly explained the process
Good service. Very reliable
Quick, easy skunk removal
Eric the owner of Wildlife Removal Services was readily available by phone to answer my questions and concerns regarding the skunks that took up residence under my house. It took several days for the skunks to take the bait, but finally caught two of them. George who removed the traps was great, personable,…
Eric and George from Wildlife Removal Services have been very responsive and easy to do business with. They netted our eaves in the fall to prevent re-nesting by swallows and responded within 24 hours when a solo bird got thru, removing the creature and determining where it got thru so the netting is fixed.
Prompt, professional, courteous and efficient service. They were able to get a mother raccoon and babies out of my house.
I can’t say enough good things about this company. They do what they say they’re going to do promptly and .efficiently. Great communication. Real professionals. Highly recommend.
Thoughtful follow-up to previous effort
On time, knows their stuff, professional and friendly, call them if you need wildlife services!
Wildlife is one of the most responsible and responsive services one can imagine. A constant problem with angry, difficult raccoons in my backyard was solved by these good people.
Caught the squirrel who had moved in and took it away
Office personnel are very unprofessional and short with you on the phone which I Don’t appreciate after spending thousands of dollars for their services!
Great company with amazing results Definitely recommend
Great service! They resolved our roof rat visitor problem humanely, through extrusion.
They get the job done costs are lower than others
Eric was great to work with , very professional and responsive, even offered some tips on keeping our squirrel friends away.
Racoon family in dads attic. Came out took care of and made sure dad had no unwanted roommates. Priced right, professional, deserves everyone's business. The best.
I highly recommend using this service when confronted with wildlife around your home. The response to my problem was swift and thorough.
They are very responsive and super helpful
I called Wildlife Removal Services on Friday because I had a mother raccoon and her babies under my deck. They came out the next day and set up traps. Problem solved. And their rates were very reasonable. They were very responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. I will definitely contact them again if I need it.
They were quick to come by with the traps and pick them up but unfortunately did not get the raccoon that had been under my house.
Made call Monday afternoon, technician arrived Tuesday to remove bird’s nest. Work was done thoroughly and speedily. Barrier was installed to prevent reoccurrence. Total professionalism and highly recommended.
Quick response to communication, removal was quick and reasonably priced.
From the coordination efforts set up by Eric, to the communication and service provided by JC.. I am extremely happy with this business. I found them on Google and contacted them. Eric set up a time to have his Wildlife Specialist "JC" come by for an inspection. JC let me know in detail about the birds in my attic.…
Fast and professional
My technician George showed up on time and took care of our dead possum problem completely. He was pleasant and offered helpful advice as well. Very satisfied with the service.
Selected this business based on favorable reviews and was not disappointed. We had a momma raccoon with her newborn in our attic. We worked with Jassen (JC) who is a an awesome dude. Good communication throughout, very thorough and professional and most importantly was able to get the raccoons out. He also gave us…
In less than one day, Wildlife Removal Services caught the two raccoons that had been terrorizing my house. Incredible. I can’t say enough great things about their work. Thank you.
George was very professional and efficient. He did everything he could to clean up after the removal of a deceased animal behind my kitchen cabinet, and asked if there was anything more he could help with. The price was reasonable and what I expected to pay. I will recommend this business to anyone looking for help with animal removal.
Eric and his team did amazing work with a bird problem in my back yard
Very professional , timely, pleasant
We had a dead rat stuck in our vents. Called and spoke to Eric, who made an appointment for us right away with a 2 hour time window. George came on the early side of the window, which we were very happy about. He spent a while looking for the rat and found it. Was extremely efficient and professional, spraying…
We had a skunk under our house in the crawl space. They were very quick to respond and come to take of getting it out. They we’re patient with me, answered all my questions and once the skunk was trapped, they came on a Sunday in the pouring rain to remove the trap and relocate the skunk. I highly recommend using…
great service
They are quick to respond
Friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable
Very knowledge, helpful. Great communication. Very kind :) Would recommend. We had a few skunks around and needed them to be trapped and removed. Everything went well. Great service!
George was efficient, personable and very professional.
Eric wasn’t professional when I asked what time they were going to arrive the next day to pick up the untouched skunk traps. He replied sharkily that he didn’t know and he was just trying to collect $20,000 in overdue payments from people, so he couldn’t give me an answer. Haha okay, i’m sorry i asked.
Wildlife Removal Services is excellent, I highly recommend! We reached out due to a skunk problem in our back yard and they have been incredibly quick to respond to jump on our problem. Their handling of the animals was impressive to us. They update you through text/email to let you know when they are coming and…
Great company ! I will definitely recommend them to others.
Very professional, prompt services were provided by Wildlife Removal. Once the large raccoon was trapped, they arrived at my home in less than 30 minutes to remove the animal. I highly recommend this company if you find yourself in need of animal trapping and removal.
We had a great experience with Wildlife Removal Services after it was discovered skunks had burrowed under our house. The owner, Eric, was able to get someone out that day to assess the situation and set up traps. Over the next two weeks we trapped the skunks, a couple possums, and a raccoon that had been seen…
Excellent serevice, fair pricing and they always communicated with us. We had a raccoon issue, we did not catch them but they showed us the problem and they did the work to make sure they wouldnt be able to return. George did the work and did a excellent job even though it was extemely hot on the roof he worked up…
They caught 2 opossum and 4 raccoons so far and waiting to catch a skunk. I called around to a couple of other companies and went with Wildlife Removal Services. Best value for the money.
We hired Wildlife Removal Service after finding or smelling what we thought was a skunk living under the house. It ended up being a family of opossums which Wildlife Removal Services came out and removed a few days in a row. It was a little pricey however, it was nice to not have dead animals in a trap. I hope the…
We are so happy that Jassen was able to save a skunk that got its foot stuck under our deck! It was amazing to see the poor guy freed after being stuck there for days.
Got it done quickly
Two skunks were removed during the two week process in my backyard. My dog had been sprayed three times by these skunks. They set two traps.
Awesome company!
Wildlife Removal Services responded quickly and set traps and caught our furry little intruders each time they initiated the traps. Very professional and got the job done. Use these guys
Great communication and customer service. Humane approach to wildlife removal. Definitely recommend!
Excellent and very nice team! Thank you
Contacted them for skunk removal. They were promp, friendly and professional! Will def use again!
We did not trap the skunks we had living under our house, they did move on which was our objective
Fast
We had a skunk under our porch. I called wildlife removal and they came that day, set live traps for humane capture and the following day the came to remove the traps. The pricing was very reasonable for how easy they made it to remove the skunk. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and I will definitely…
Very pleased with Wildlife Removal Services responsiveness and, ultimately, success in removing a raccoon that was destroying our garden.
Eric came out almost immediately to remove a bird nest in the rafters over my porch because my house is being fumigated. His price was fair and he was polite and professional.
The technician do very good jobs.Thanks so much.
Set rabbit traps. I have video of the rabbits eating my front lawn while sitting? right next to the traps. They completely ignored the traps. There was no follow up from WRS as to rebaiting the traps, or any discussion at all. Complete waste of money
Fast, efficient !!
Excellent response, same day trap setup for skunks
I am changing my initial review. It took a while for them to get rid of the gophers (about 2 months) and I am satisfied they didn't charge me an additional month since it wasn't successful after a month of treatments like they said.
We had a skunk problem at our house. Several skunks frequented our backyard every night, and we suspected that they had taken up residence underneath our deck. We contacted Wildlife Removal Services and we weren't disappointed. They came the same day to set up traps, and each day we called they quickly arrived to…
Great timely, reliable, effective, and friendly service.
I used this service for oppossum removal who was frequenting my home. They were professional, timely, easy to reach over phone and got the job done. Happy to recommend them to anyone
George was so knowledgeable and thorough! I was thrilled that he came up with a humane solution for my rat problem; one that did not require traps or poison! I am so thankful for your ingenuity!! Highly recommend!!!
Really impressed with this company. Called on a Wednesday about a a raccoon problem. By Friday the traps were set and now 10 days later they've caught two raccoons, a coyote and a possum. They are quick, professional, nice to work with and very responsive. Plus a competitive rate,,,couldn't really ask anything more!
very efficient, they set up the appropriate traps and quickly come to remove trapped animals
Long term satisfied client. J C is one of the most knowledgeable wildlife experts I know...and a pleasure to deal with.
We suspected some critters living underneath our deck/patio were to blame for the sudden flea infestation in our yard and house, as we don’t own any animals. After calling Wildlife Removal Services and speaking with Erik and Robin, I decided to book their team to help with the removal. JC and crew were wonderful! He…
Very fast to reply and have traps setup to deal with a skunk issue in my backyard. Super easy to work with and definitely recommend for any wildlife removal needs.
Prompt, efficient, extremely courteous and knowledgable. I highly recommend.
Great service at a great price
Didn’t catch any. 200.00 down the drain.
He came and removed a skunk
George IS amazing!! highly recommend this company for any services you may need !! So efficient, kind and helpful!
Very prompt response and was able to schedule an appointment within a few days. Jeff was great and even noticed a wasps nest that was starting. Thank you for your great service!
Wildlife removal services has been wonderful to work with! I currently have a raccoon problem and they have been very kind and flexible with me. I still I’m using their services for the next week but so far they’ve been great!
Very pleased with the service. The technicians are knowledgeable, and able to discuss issues in detail with the owner. Highly recommend
Fantastic customer service. Very professional. Went above and beyond.
Eric and George are true professionals. I recommend them for all issues.
We knew he had a dead animal somewhere under the house. I called this company, on a Monday (I kept getting answering machines with 3 other companies), and they sent George within a couple of hours. He was on time, located the dead animal and removed it quickly. Awsome job.
Eric arrived promptly at our set time which was very appreciated due to my tight work meeting schedule. He removed the wild animal (opossum) I had caught in a trap in my garage and charge less than what other companies quoted. I highly recommend Wildlife Removal Services!
I will definitely be using Wildlife Removal Services in the future, they fixed the two areas where skunks were getting in under the house and did a wonderful job!
Very responsive and diligent .... usually right on time too.
I found a couple of rabbits appearing in my yard frequently, and several plants were eaten to bare. So I called one company with high ratings on Yelp but was told they don’t remove it anymore as rabbit is very difficult to catch. Then I called Wildlife Removal services and Eric came to my house the same day to set…
Wildlife Removal Services came to my house to place a barrier around my solar panels to remove any existing birds, nests, and feces and to keep birds from nesting underneath in the future. I was able to see pictures of the roof after completion and everything appears to be in order and done well.
