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.

The work done must be made to last in order that this issue will not come up again as more pests find their way into the structure. The company must be thorough and identify all points of entry and effectively remedy each one. They should also provide at least a one-year guarantee.

One should consult a local animal control agency which the service should be registered with. These organizations often perform investigations of such companies to ensure that animals are being handled humanely. Some services will even provide the customer with a written statement which states that they only use humane removal techniques. The customer should also make sure that the company is licensed and insured as required by local laws.

Not every service deals with pests of all sizes, so it's a good idea to select one which does, especially if one is unsure what type of animal it is. In the case that it is a dead creature, necessitating the removal of its carcass, not every agency will provide this service. Cost is usually based on how many large creatures there are, with babies sometimes counting 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.
