Wildlife Control & Removal Services

At Critter Control, we specialize in providing professional and humane wildlife removal services. With a deep understanding of the unique challenges posed by unwanted wildlife intrusions, we are committed to resolving these situations effectively and compassionately. Our experienced team combines expertise with a genuine concern for the well-being of both animals and humans, ensuring a safe and humane approach to wildlife removal.

The Humane Animal Control Solution

Critter Control adheres to a thorough and humane wildlife removal process, intended to address unwanted wildlife encounters in four key steps:

1. Identification and Entry Point Assessment: Our experienced technicians carefully inspect your property to determine the species of wildlife involved and identify their point of entry. By understanding how these animals gain access to your premises, we can develop a targeted removal strategy.
2. Humane Animal Removal: We employ a variety of methods to remove unwanted animals from your property safely. Depending on the situation, we may use one-way doors, which allow animals to exit but prevent re-entry, or live cage traps that capture animals unharmed for later release in a suitable location.
3. Animal Damage Repair: After the animals have been safely removed, our team can assist with repairing any damage caused by wildlife intrusions. Whether it’s fixing chewed wires, replacing insulation, or restoring damaged structures, we have the expertise to restore your property to its pre-intrusion condition.
4. Exclusion and Preventive Measures: To prevent future wildlife invasions, we implement exclusion techniques that address vulnerable areas and reinforce your property’s defences. By identifying and sealing potential entry points, we create a more secure environment that minimizes the likelihood of future wildlife encounters.

By combining our expertise, experience, and humane approach, our technicians ensure that unwanted wildlife is removed safely and responsibly, reducing the potential harm to animals and humans.

If you’re dealing with an animal intrusion into your home or business, don’t hesitate to contact the professionals at Critter Control. Our team of experts is ready to assist you, providing effective and humane wildlife removal solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Animal Trapping

Animal trapping is an effective wildlife control strategy that’s both humane and eco-friendly for certain species. 

Trapping Nuisance Wildlife 

Professional animal trappers know what type of trap to use, where to place them, how to bait them, and how often to check them. 

• Raccoons — Live trapping is the most effective and humane way to remove a raccoon. Raccoon trapping requires a sturdy trap. Cage and box traps are preferable to foothold traps. 
• Opossums —  Opossums can easily be trapped with a cage, box, body-gripping, or foothold traps.
• Skunks-Skunks can be captured with cage or box traps. 
• Birds — Occasionally, live traps will be used, especially if flocks of birds are involved.

For some species, like bats, we are not allowed to legally trap them. Trapping is ineffective for squirrels and other species. Regardless of the wildlife removal strategy, exclusion services provide the only permanent solution to your wildlife problem.  

Pest Control Inspection

During the CritterSafe inspection, our technicians look for animal infestation signs like droppings, rub marks, and animal damage.

CritterSafe considers the following in helping you resolve wildlife conflicts safely and humanely:

• Is it a problem at all? For example, if a family of foxes makes a den in your neighborhood, will they attack your child or your pet? Educating you about the natural history of wild animals may help you see that they are not a threat. 
• Collect information. Once a wildlife problem has been identified, it’s necessary to positively identify the species involved, the extent of the damage, whether young animals are present, and what humane animal removal management procedures can be used to resolve the issue permanently. 
• Assess the seriousness of the problem. Important considerations include the impact on the animals involved, safety or health concerns to people or pets, likelihood of recurrence, and whether the animal damage appears to be seasonal or ongoing. 
• Get the facts and consider the options. Taking action should be your last step. Humane wildlife exclusion, eco-friendly animal repellents, changing human cultural practices, and habitat modification are all viable, humane strategies. 
• Will the action solve the problem or merely address the symptoms? The humane wildlife control solution needs to address the underlying cause of the problem to be effective over the long term.

Why Choose Critter Control?

 Appreciating wildlife and the natural environment we share is one of the first steps in resolving wildlife conflicts with humans. Tolerance and understanding solve many perceived “wildlife problems” borne from irrational fears. Bats and snakes, for example, are beneficial to the environment, but are rarely a danger to humans. While there are times when we can let nature take care of itself, sometimes wildlife conflicts must be resolved to prevent further damage to our homes and property, and to protect human health and safety.

Since 1983, the Critter Control concept has called for humane animal control and environmentally responsible techniques when taking care of nuisance animal problems, including wildlife control, animal removal, animal damage repair, animal exclusion, and pest control prevention services. We use innovative, integrated methods to provide ecologically sound animal control services for homeowners, businesses, and municipalities.
 
Critter Control’s certified wildlife specialists benefit from the decades of experience. Their training and experience to quickly identify the wild animal causing the problem. We work with you to develop a plan to remove the nuisance animal, prevent future animal infestation, and repair animal damage.
