Wildlife we don't REMOVE!

Snakes: It is illegal to touch them. Bats: Touching them is prohibited. You may only install a bat door and seal the area. Cats and Dogs: We do not handle these animals; please contact your local town services. In case of a Bat EMERGENCY, open two doors or windows to create an airflow. The bat will locate this and exit.

Contacting ME?

I typically refrain from answering calls to avoid scammers and because I leave my phone in the truck during work, where it often gets damaged. Please leave a message, and I will return your call. Unlike other companies that may use call centers, you will be speaking directly with me, and I assure you a callback within 24 hours. In case of an emergency, if you don't mind the associated fee, please call me twice in quick succession if I do not answer the first time. Additionally, I am receptive to text messages which I treat akin to emails, so feel free to contact me in that manner, and I will respond with a call.

Catch and Release/ LAW!

Catching an animal on a property and releasing it elsewhere is illegal. Any animal captured on a property must be released there; if not, the law requires it to be euthanized, followed by cremation or burial. For additional laws and regulations, please visit the DEC website at https://dec.ny.gov/nature/animals-fish-plants/nuisance-wildlife-species/remove-take-legally." 

THINGS PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW! 

#1 CATCH AND RELEASE - Animals learn from their experiences. If you catch and release them, it becomes increasingly difficult for me to trap them again. Squirrels and Raccoons, for instance, will rarely enter a trap once they've been caught. I had one raccoon that learned how to open cages, although professional traps like Havahart are effective, they are not completely reliable. Therefore, please either contact me or humanely euthanize the animal if necessary. Do not attempt to call me if you have already caught and released these two animals; it's not fair to me, and I will find out quickly. My method is very systematic, designed to minimize mistakes and swiftly remove wildlife. However, remember that dealing with wildlife is never straightforward. #2 DIY Gentlemen/Ladies - If you happen to catch a skunk while attempting to trap groundhogs, please feel free to call me.
