Removing squirrels from inside walls

No wonder Gotcha Wildlife gets great reviews. Richard arrived on time @ 8 am, clearly explained the process of handling the family of squirrels that lived in our walls, he was fast and so far the results have been excellent. And he'll be back to ensure that it remains that way.

Very Persistent Squirrels

I called Gotcha when I suspected squirrels were living in my walls. Ken came out and determined they were coming in from multiple areas and was able to do all the work to replace roof vents, cover chimneys, install the one way door, etc. on the same day. Ken was also very responsive every time I emailed to say they were still there. It was a new house for me but an old house for this family of squirrels who did not like being evicted. The level of service was exceptional and I would highly recommend this company. I am happy to say my house is squirrel free.

Excellent pest removal!!!

I contacted Ken to help me with what I believed was a squirrel problem in my garage. When Ken arrived he knew immidiatly that the pests were rats, not squirrels, and gave me several options for how to deal with the situation. After talking it over with Ken, we came up with a hybrid solution. Ken was very fair in his pricing and went above and beyond the call of duty to help me with some clean up work that we needed to finish before dealing with the rats. He even provided me with a bunch of garbage bags to help with the clean up! I cant say enough about the services of Gotcha Wildlife. Although the final results of the pest control are not in, I felt that Ken was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, and easy to work with. If I ever run into another pest problem, I know who to call.

Excellent Company - Thank You for Helping Us So Quickly!

Gotcha Wildlife is great. Ken came to our home today right on time, and dealt with our problem very effectively. It was kind of an emergency for us. We were having attic-insulation removal done by an insulation company, but the insulation contractors walked off the job yesterday because they found some old raccoon waste matter from raccoons we had in the attic years ago. The insulation company explained that raccoon waste matter can carry dangerous parasites that can attack the human nervous system. Ken checked both the top of the roof and the attic interior and determined that there are no raccoons in the attic currently and no entry points at this time, but he found raccoon waste matter not only in the location where the insulation company had found it but also in another location which the insulation company had missed seeing. He removed the raccoon waste matter and he and his partner disinfected the attic with Microban Hospital Spray, which he explained kills bacteria and other pathogens. He also supplied us with written proof that this was done so that we could forward it to the attic-insulation company to assure them it is safe for their workers to return to our home to continue the insulation work. Ken, moreover, offered us preventative solutions on how to cover up our ridge vent and other roof vents with a 16-gage galvanized steel mesh to prevent raccoons and squirrels from manipulating these sensitive areas and nesting in our attic in the future. We will consider hiring Gotcha Wildlife again, to do this preventative work to prevent animals from getting into our attic in the future. Overall, we are very pleased with their good work and with how quickly they were able to provide us with this much needed service - helping us not to have our attic insulation work delayed any further - and also with their very fair prices. Of the companies we had called prior to hiring Gotcha Wildlife, we found they had some of the most fair prices and also the best guarantee. Not all the companies were offering a guarantee. So we thank Ken and his team very much, and we will likely see them at least once more (for the preventative work) in the future.

Squirrels in the attic

After hearing noises in the attic, I looked around for a reputable company with positive reviews and narrowed my list to 3 companies. Gotcha Wildlife provided me with logical answers to all my questions and were fairly priced compared to the other 2 companies.

They covered all possible entry points with metal mesh and added flashing around all exposed roof line.

Ken was quick and accommodating with the job and a follow-up at my request. Needless to say the squirrels are gone and i am happy I found Gotcha Wildlife to help out with my issue.

Tricky squirrel removal

I had some squirrels nestled into the siding of my house. Richard was great! He got them out and put the nest aside for the mom to come back and grab the babies to take them elsewhere! Richard even helped out reattaching my eavestrough which had nothing to do with the squirrels. Very impressed!

Squirrels in attic

Had noticed scratching sounds coming from one area of bedroom ceiling for a few weeks in late January of this year. Looked at a few companies on Homestars and decided to go with Gotcha Wildlife based on good reviews. Spoke to Ken who is very pleasant and knowledgeable and we scheduled a day where Richard would come to my house. Richard was on time and very professional in all aspects of work conducted. Determined entry point through one of the the roof vents. He Installed a one-way trap where squirrels can get out put not in. When I didn't here anymore scratching from ceiling (approx. 3 weeks) I called Richard and he removed trap, replaced one of my oversized roof vents which I wanted replaced and installed 6 custom roof vent covers to prevent this from happening again.
