Whether your uninvited guests come in squirrel, raccoon, skunk, or another wildlife form, your best bet is not DIY removal. Attempting wildlife control without the right tools, equipment, and know-how can easily result in bites, scratches, and other injuries. Since many animals carry diseases in addition to damaging your home, leave your issue to the experts. Here’s what you should look for in a wildlife control company to solve your problem quickly and efficiently.

5 Things Your Chosen Wildlife Control Company Needs

1. Experience

The best wildlife control companies typically have years of experience dealing with animals specific to their regions. Look for a company with at least five years of industry knowledge and familiarity with the type of animal currently invading your home or property. Experience also indicates reliability since customers keep hiring them for good work.

2. Comprehensive Inspections

Your selected company must provide detailed inspections that identify what type of animal they need to remove. Inspections also offer important information such as where the animals are entering your home, whether there is offspring, and how much damage your house has sustained. Inspections make it possible for your wildlife control company to create a customized removal plan.

3. Convenient Location

Working with a company close to your residence is more than convenient—it means team members are well-versed in the animal life in your region. Local companies also know the best areas for safely relocating wildlife.

4. Humane Methods

Humane removal methods do not hurt the animals but rather place them in wooded or other beneficial environments. Ask what kind of methods the wildlife company will use to remove the animals from your home, such as traps that contain but do not injure. Also ask how far away the company plans to relocate the critters.

5. Restoration Services

Even small animals such as squirrels can inflict serious damage on your home. Determine if the wildlife company in question offers restoration as well as removal services so you don’t have to hire a separate company to repair the damage.
