Michigan's Trusted Wildlife Management Specialists

Are you getting clear, honest answers without the scare tactics? Avoid companies that use worst-case scenarios to cause panic, or those that immediately push for expensive, full-attic insulation replacements for minor issues. You should be speaking with knowledgeable staff who understand wildlife behavior—not just a receptionist—who can provide a realistic ballpark estimate over the phone.

General pest control companies rarely have the specialized exclusion and construction skills of a dedicated wildlife control operator. Handling animals requires a totally different approach than spraying for bugs. In fact, we are a strictly poison-free company because chemical baits are dangerous, inhumane, and often lead to animals dying inside your walls.

Prices should reflect the specific job, not massive corporate overhead. Avoid companies that drastically overcharge, use commission-based technicians who upsell unnecessary roof or siding repairs, or offer suspiciously cheap bids just to win the job. Always demand a written, itemized contract where any initial inspection fees are applied directly to the exclusion work.

General bug exterminators often lack the distinct expertise needed to safely remove and exclude nuisance wildlife. Finding hidden entry points—whether it's mice in the foundation, birds in a vent, or raccoons on the roof—takes a highly trained eye and a deep understanding of animal behavior. Always check reviews and ask for references.

Don't settle for short-term, limited warranties of a year or less, and never hire a contractor who refuses to guarantee their exclusion work. A strong warranty protects your home and your investment, giving you peace of mind that the animals won't just move right back in once the job is done.

Spring and summer are prime birthing seasons for many species, from squirrels and raccoons to birds and bats. If adult animals are excluded or trapped without carefully checking for a nest, helpless babies will be left trapped inside your home. A reputable professional always inspects for offspring and handles wildlife families humanely.

Absolutely no poisons or toxic chemicals should ever be used to manage wildlife. Store-bought rodenticides, pest sprays, and mothballs are ineffective for larger animals, pose serious risks to your own pets, and ultimately create terrible odor issues when animals perish in hard-to-reach places.

Any company you hire should strictly follow state wildlife regulations and prioritize humane, live-exclusion guidelines. The goal should always be to solve the problem permanently by professionally sealing the home, rather than just trapping a single animal without addressing how it got inside in the first place.
