My wife and I have been using SWAT WILDIFE Services for several years now. We are always thrilled with Derek’s exceptional ability to effectively deal with any animal related issue efficiently and humanely. He truly cares a lot about the animals and approaches each situation strategically.
I recently stopped in at home for a brief moment only to be confronted face to face with a strange looking creature I'd personally never seen before…a possum! I was not quite sure what to do about this creature, as he looked confused and disoriented sitting on our fence. I know that possums have very sharp teeth and claws and can hurt other animals, such as our cats. I have heard they can kill cats. There are many cats in our neighborhood. Quite concerned about this, I contacted Derek who further educated me that possums are notorious for entering cat doors (which we have) and that they can become quite aggressive if cornered. This caused me much concern as I feared the possum might one day enter the cat door, become confused as to how to get out, and then attack our cats or any human present. Fortunately, Derek informed me he was only 10 minutes away and would come right over. I was so impressed with how quickly Derek was on the scene and how he efficiently and humanely managed to safely trap the possum! Derek was able to determine that the possum was a male, who had not yet formed all his teeth (though they looked pretty ferocious and sharp to me). I greatly appreciated that Derek said he would not have taken the possum if it was a female with babies in the vicinity. Derek was able to relocate the possum to a safe ravine area. Thank you, Derek! You are amazing! We highly recommend Derek and SWAT Wildlife Services.
