 Frequently Askes Questions |
Listed below are a few of the many frequently asked questions we receive on a daily basis. If you have any other questions not listed below, please contact our office to speak with a wildlife technician.
Because of the overwhelming interest in bats and the huge role they play in our industry we have created a FAQ's page dedicated solely to BATS!
Animal Removal: What do you do with the animals after they are caught?
Being that our services span over three states we must abide by all laws set forth in each individual state. All of our services when dealing with nuisance animals are done in a humane manner. In our service areas it is a common practice to release animals trapped on site after the proper repairs are made.
Getting Rid of Squirrels: Squirrel are getting into my roofline, can I go up and seal area when I think there out?
No. Covering or repairing entry ways that squirrels have made will only cause them to create new openings to enter your home. It is also very difficult to be sure that all the squirrels have left the attic just because it is daytime. Our squirrel removal services are done in a humane and effective manner and ensure a complete solution for the established wildlife. See our squirrel removal page for more information.
Getting Rid of Skunks: Skunks have burrowed underneath my house, shed, or deck, can I just block them out?
No. Skunks are a nocturnal animal so when you seal that hole up they are probably underneath still. Skunks are also expert trenchers and will most likely dig around any objects you use to try to keep them from entry. But, most importantly if you happen to seal them in you problem can only get worse. When a skunk dies the muscles that keep there odor at bay release allowing it to seep out producing a constant and stomach turning skunk odor, trust us this is neither the best option for you or us.

"It is significantly easier for a live skunk to walk into a trap than it is for a wildlife professional to walk into a den for dead skunk removal." Ed Gannon
Getting Rid of Raccoons: If I have raccoons in my chimney can I light a fire to chase them out?
No never light a fire to chase out raccoons! Raccoons will enter chimneys and attics for shelter and mainly for birthing season. From April through May we receive numerous phone calls about noises in chimneys and attics which lead us to discover a mother raccoon and her pups. Trying to flush a mother raccoon and her pups with the means of fire can be very dangerous and is also extremely inhumane. For information on raccoon removal in MA, NH, & RI click here.
Squirrel Control: I see squirrels all over my yard! Will you trap them?
No. It is not our job to set up shop every time someone sees a nuisance animal. Nuisance wildlife will always be a part of our environment and wildlife management and control should always be used when animals have invaded or are causing an unsafe or unhealthy environment. We provide complete inspectional services to ensure that squirrels have not gotten into your attic or home.
Skunk Control: I smelled skunk last night outside my home or saw one. Will you come trap it?
No, for reason very similar to the above question we will not set up shop for nuisance wildlife roaming through an area that used to be woods. We respond to protect you and you home from harmful and unhealthy situations with nuisance wildlife and by the means of management or control help residents and animals of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, & Rhode Island live together, just not in the same den!
Raccoon Control: Raccoons have been on my roof and are pulling up my roof tiles (causing damage). Does this mean that they're in my chimney or attic?
More than likely raccoons have already found a home in your attic or fireplace but this is not always the case. If you see this kind of activity it suggested that you call us for an animal raccoon inspection for your home.
Pigeon Control and Bird Removal: Pigeons are perching on our roof and we might have birds in our attic. Can these problems be resolved?
There is almost always some type of complete solution for birds of all types including pigeons and more. There are numerous methods and also a variety of products on the market that allow us to remedy bird problems. Our technicians are fully trained in many bird removal techniques and understand when certain applications are needed to solve a conflict between birds and humans. Pleas visit our bird removal services page for more information.
Getting Rid of Coyotes and Fox: I have seen a coyote or fox roaming through our neighborhood. Do you deal with and/or trap these animals?
We are licensed nuisance wildlife operators in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island and handle these nuisance animals in each state as permitted by state law. Trapping of these animals is allowed in certain states but proper wildlife management and education taught to homeowners should always be the first means of a resolution. If fox or coyote are acting abnormal proper steps should be taken to ensure the safety of you and others. For more information please contact us.
Do mothballs or electronic devices work?
Mothballs: We know what you're thinking; of course they are going to say no! But the truth is yes we are going to say NO because it is true. Mothballs spread throughout an attic or fireplace will create toxic fumes that can become harmful to humans, and will never eradicate any type of squirrel or other wildlife from your attic.
Electronic devices: All we can really say about these devices is that we have never seen them work and in fact know many who have wasted there time and money with these units. For more information visit www.buginfo.com.
Wildlife Removal Pricing: What are the costs involved with a wildlife project? How much will it cost?
There are many variables when it comes to animal removal services. The size and condition of a home will factor into our pricing and further inspectional services will allow us to quote your animal removal project. This industry and dealing with wildlife is and always has been unique, which in turn makes standard pricing difficult. Many of our customers have mentioned our competitive pricing.
Do you handle domestic animals such as dogs and cats?
No. We are Massachusetts, New Hampshire, & Rhode Island Problem Animal Control officers that deal directly with nuisance wildlife and its management or control. Domesticated animals are handled by your local animal control officers.
