The Critter Hunter

The Question I am always asked “Can you help us with our wild animal problem?”

Definitely! The first questions I always ask are “what are you seeing; what are you hearing? Then I go more in-depth: what time of the day or night have you heard or seen the animal? Do you recognize what kind of animal it is? Can you pick them out of a line up? If you’ve seen the animal, how many did you see? Where is the problem at? Do you see damage anywhere?

The most common places for wildlife to take up residence are in attics, under stoops, decks, basements, garages, and inside walls. Finding out as much as I can allows me to find out what type of animal it is and to prepare before I come for the inspection.

Every type of animal is handled differently. Some are smarter than others. Knowing the animal allows me to plan my course of action to insure for a successful capture (and to bring the proper equipment).

We do not come out for domestic animals, dogs, cats, etc. Asking the question “what are you seeing” allows me to direct them to call Animal Control if it is indeed a domestic animal.
