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.

It's important to inquire about what will become of the animal(s). Killing the creature is rarely necessary, most companies will simply remove it and any offspring and release them in a nearby rural area. The structure they were living in will be modified to prevent re-entry in the future.

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.

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.

Some services only handle pests of a particular size, so it's best to select one equipped to handle any size. If the creature has died, there are only some companies which will deal with the removal of the carcass. The price is normally determined by the number of large creatures, babies may count as one adult.

When it comes to signing the contract with the animal removal company, the customer should confirm that he or she is only being charged for relocating the pest in question. It should be clearly indicated which procedures are being done, and that the client is in full agreement with both the methods used and the fee.
