Trapping
Our Success In Trapping
We offer humane trapping programs for squirrels, groundhogs, and possums utilizing industry best practices to ensure the safety of both the animals and property owners. We monitor our traps using motion activated camera systems to allow for timely pickup upon successful trapping.
What to Do After a Trapping Program
The animals have been trapped and removed, but you’re worried about the problem coming back in the future. Now what? Oftentimes it is beneficial to consider a permanent exclusion barrier following a successful trapping program to prevent the animals from coming back. Most animal issues stem from vulnerabilities on the exterior of a home or building that animals take advantage of to take up residence. Trapping and removal is a crucial first step, but most problems will not be permanently solved without installing an exclusion barrier to repair any vulnerabilities and prevent new animal tenants from moving in.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wildlife Trapping
Curious about our wildlife removal process or how we can assist you? Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients!
What is wildlife trapping?
Wildlife trapping is the process of capturing animals that have become a nuisance, caused damage, or posed a threat to human health and safety. It involves using humane traps to relocate or remove wildlife from properties.
Is wildlife trapping humane?
When done correctly, wildlife trapping is humane. Professional trappers use live-capture traps designed to minimize stress and injury. Animals are typically relocated to suitable habitats far from human settlements.
What happens to the trapped animals after removal?
Trapped animals are often relocated to appropriate habitats where they will not pose a problem to humans. Some laws, however, may restrict relocation, in which case other humane solutions may be considered.
How can I prevent wildlife from entering my home or property?
Preventative measures include sealing cracks, holes, and gaps in the structure, securing garbage bins, installing chimney caps and vent covers, and keeping food sources (bird feeders, pet food) out of reach.
Will trapping animals solve the problem permanently?
Trapping can provide temporary relief, but if the underlying attractants (like food or shelter) are not addressed, other animals may soon occupy the same space. Preventative measures are essential for long-term solutions.
