Raccoon Under the Deck (Trapping)

“Removal of pesty raccoon under deck. The service was excellent… After a couple of ‘lost baits’ and the cylinder being knocked around I asked if they had a bigger cage. This yielded results quickly. A raccoon. It’s been a couple of weeks now and my little buddy has not returned. Very happy!”

Raccoon in the Attic (One-Way Door Method)

“Came on site the same day we called them to look at a critter that made its home in our attic. They put in a one-way door and blocked off the area and came back a week later to remove it and check the attic. Would highly recommend.”
