Helpful Tips For Hiring An Animal Removal Company

By Dave L. Weglin


Some houses, with gaps in their eaves, attics, or crawlspaces often end up as a nesting place for various wild animals. It can be distressing for homeowners to find that they are sharing their home with these uninvited guests which can cause problems such as structural damage and waste odors. Contacting an animal removal company is the best way to effectively resolve this dilemma.

The first thing any service should do is carry out an inspection and provide a price based on the nature of the problem. The type of creature, whether or not it has offspring, and how many points of entry it is using should be identified. This should be documented with photographs, shown to the homeowner and then an appropriate remedial plan should be recommended.

Knowing that the creatures will be dealt with as humanely as possible once caught is important. It should not be necessary to hurt or kill the creature. Most services will trap them, and then relocate them to a suitable area such as a forest. The structure will then have to be adjusted to prevent the same problem from recurring.

Any remedial repairs to the customer's home needs to be done to stand up against future invasions. It's important that the service locate all possible entry points and modifies them to prevent this. This work should be guaranteed for a minimum of one year.

A reputable service should be registered with a local animal control agency, which are responsible for performing routine investigations into the practices of such companies to make sure they use humane methods. The company may in some cases provide the customer with a legal statement declaring that all work they do is not harmful to the creatures. One must also ensure that the company is fully licensed and insured as locally required by law.

Some services will not deal with creatures of all sizes, so it's necessary to find one which does. When a creature has died and the homeowner needs the carcass removed, it may be more challenging to find a service as not all companies will do this. Most services charge per larger animal being relocated, babies often count as one.

When signing the contract with the animal removal company the customer needs to make sure the service provided only pertains to the particular pest in question, not any and all other creatures found on the property. It should specify the specific procedures being done and show that the customer if completely aware of this and agrees to pay the amount quoted.
