Selecting a wildlife control service for squirrel problems requires careful consideration to ensure effective and humane removal. Michigan homeowners need reliable professionals who can handle squirrel issues safely while protecting their property.

Essential Qualifications to Look For

Professional wildlife control services must meet specific standards to operate effectively and legally. First, verify they have proper state licensing and required permits. Experience matters greatly - look for companies with several years of proven success in squirrel removal. The staff should have formal training in wildlife control techniques and safety protocols. Additionally, any reputable company will carry comprehensive liability insurance to protect your property during the removal process.

Red Flags to Watch For

When researching wildlife control companies, several warning signs should make you think twice. Companies offering unusually low prices often cut corners or use ineffective methods. Be wary of services without a physical business address or those lacking verifiable references. Professional companies should always provide written estimates and never pressure you into making quick decisions. Take time to research and compare services before making your choice.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring

  • Methods: What removal techniques do you use?
  • Timeline: How long will the process take?
  • Guarantee: What kind of warranty do you offer?
  • Follow-up: Do you provide post-removal inspections?
  • Cost: What is included in your pricing?

Understanding the Process

A thorough wildlife control process starts with a detailed property inspection. Professional services will provide a written assessment outlining the extent of the problem and their planned solution. They should clearly explain their removal methods and timeline. The process includes sealing all entry points, removing the squirrels, cleaning affected areas, and implementing prevention measures. Each step should be documented and explained to the homeowner.

Cost Considerations

The cost of professional squirrel removal varies based on several factors. Larger infestations typically require more time and resources to address. Properties with difficult access points or multiple entry locations may need extra work. The extent of damage repair needed and the type of prevention measures required also affect the final price. Professional services should provide a detailed breakdown of all costs involved before beginning work.

Testimonials

  • After calling and hiring a competitor company, which failed miserably at solving my squirrel problem, I found Ancon Wildlife Services. Dave came out and performed an inspection of my home and informed me that the solution to my problem would be accomplished through a process known as exclusion. The other company only offered trapping services and didn't seem as knowledgeable. Dave informed me that a good portion of Ancon's customers have had a similar experience with other animal control companies. from start to finish I felt good about doing business with Ancon. I highly reccomend their service and I wish I would have called them first.

  • Mike was awesome! my experience should have been filmed and put on T.V.! Seriously. We were hearing chirping noises in our fire place and called Ancon. Mike climbed up on the roof and some how motivated the raccoon to the top. He then wrestled the critter out of the chimney with a pole of some sort and put it in cage. WOW! He wasnt done yet...he went back in the living room and removed the baby raccoons from the fireplace put them in cage and informed me that he would relocate the family all together. Fearless and caring, these guys are incredible! He then installed an animal proof chimney cap to prevent any future animal problems. Top notch service and excitement to boot.
