Animal Control Specialists

This company was great in trapping and removing the skunks that had decided to live under my front porch slab. I would have given them 5 stars except they were not helpful at all in eliminating the entry point(s) where the skunks were getting under the front porch slab. I would normally have taken care of this myself, but unfortunately I recently became ill and I am unable to do this work now.

They were abruptly dismissive when I asked for a quote to perform this work. The service to remove a mother skunk and her 8 offspring cost me $570. Not cheap, but worth the price to be rid of them. I just wish they had finished the job.

Anthony came out to our home to get a dead animal out from under our gazebo. He was a true professional! He pinpointed the exact location of the where the dead animal was and only removed one small plank from the floor of the gazebo (which he replaced!) It was amazing that he was SO accurate in locating the dead opossum. We are forever grateful!

Your team was professional and quick to respond. The animal was caught successfully, and preventative measures were recommended. One suggested improvement would be to give the customer some kind of confirmation if they text on weekends. I felt like I needed to call to confirm my report was received.

Adam explained everything well and was very professional. We were happy with his prompt visit to our house as well.

Refused to come for a dangerous situation right outside the front door. Would only come if inside the house. ABC - came right out, removed the very sick skunk, set a trap at the den for the babies. ABC is our new go-to vendor!

Very prompt and courteous staff. Took care of the immediate issue of mice in attic and provided suggestions on preventing critter access through roof vents. Solutions were reasonably priced and in place next day. Also, addressed an issue with my chimney I was not aware of left by previous roof repair person. Very satisfied. Highly recommend.

We've had to use them twice over the years. The first time was to investigate noises in the attic. They found a pair of flying squirrels living there that they were able to trap and remove within a week. Afterwards they performed repairs to the entry point and it hasn't been a problem again. Other companies I called flat-out refused to enter an attic.

The second time we used them was after hearing noises in our vents. The person who came did a thorough inspection and was able to identify the source of noise we'd been hearing. It was a pair of squirrels building a nest in our furnace vent. In the same day he was able to remove the nest and close off the entrance. On both visits the reps were very professional and explained simple things we can do to prevent future problems.

I discovered I had a squirrel's nest in my chimney. I called Animal Control Specialists to have it removed. The representative who came to my house was very nice and professional. He was able to remove the nest in a quick and efficient manner. I would highly recommend this company for animal removal.

Animal Control Specialists was efficient, effective and reasonable in removing a very large raccoon out of my chimney! I would absolutely recommend their services. Thank you!

I called them to remove a dead animal which was buried in snow, causing some smell in the front yard. The field agent discovered that it was in fact a rabbit skin which was not the cause of the smell. There was no dead animal to remove. He talked to the manager to reduce the price from $155 to $95. I thought it was still excessive, so I went inside the home to get my cellphone and call the manager to see if I can pay a smaller amount for the inconvenience caused.

I asked the field agent to wait in the car. The manager was firm on the payment and I was speaking to him for maybe 3 minutes. But the field agent was rude as I was speaking to the manager while inside the home. He came up to the front door asking my wife for me and saying they don't work for free (of course). No patience and irritated. I paid the $95 per my discussion with the manager but didn't like the rude behavior by the field agent

Very professional and courteous! We had some squirrels in the attic, and they may be cute when you see them in the part, but they are awful when in your house. Once we determined that "visitors" had taken up residence, we called Animal Control Specialists. They came out the same day, and setup some traps. To call them successful trappers is an understatement.

They caught every squirrel and used some pretty simple, innovative methods to make sure we wouldn't have any other visitors setting up residence. It's always great to have vendors who are experts that know exactly what they're doing. No more late night scuffling and scratching. Couldn't be more pleased!

FIVE STARS for Animal Control Specialists, Inc. Norm (the younger) managed to safely and humanely trap a total of 10 adult and baby squirrels (2 traps set and checked daily) over the course of 7 days, which had been accessing the crawl space/attic space of our rented 2-flat for at least a year. Despite our best efforts to use hardware store-grade materials and limited knowledge to close off the 3 attic vent access points on our own, we would not have been able to safely, efficiently, and completely eliminate and permanently keep out any more squirrels without the professional help of Norm.

If by some miracle any more pests manage to break/chew through the heavy duty galvanized mesh that Norm professionally installed, we know exactly who to call for help! Thanks Norm for all your help! HIGHLY recommended for any animal control needs. Fair price quoted during initial phone inquiry, price per catch/release also quoted, and repair estimate also provided prior to agreeing to work by Norm. While the end price wasn't exactly cheap (10 squirrels caught!), it was worth every penny and ended up being less than we expected for the professional work Norm did.

The experience was very good. No complaints. Professional, Knowledgeable & Experienced. I would highly recommend. Showed up the very next day after calling them and they got right to work. Their methodology works. They'll stay at it 7 days a week until the problem is solved. The owner was out himself climbing ladders and setting traps. Polite and professional local business. Keep our local small businesses alive!

Nothing but the best treatment from everyone. They made me feel cared for since multiple trips we required to solve our problem and a fix needed to be made. Outstanding Job!

Hired to remove squirrels from our attic. Left specific instructions with Norm about location of the traps ocation as our house has 2 distinct unconnected attics. The traps were set on the wrong side of the house and after calling several times they came out to move them. While on the wrong side of the house there was a squirrel captured. When they arrived at the house my wife again mentioned to them that the traps were on the wrong side of the house and she was met with derision and rudeness.

When moved to the right side of the house they captured two more and after 2 days said they wouldn't be catching anymore. They quoted me on the phone $50 to repair each of the three dormers on the correct side of the house. While I clearly wanted all three dormers repaired and had told them to proceed, I noticed they had only repaired one. Received a bill for $440 which included $165 to set the traps $75 four each of the squirrels captured and $50 to repair the dormer.

Since they only fixed one I elected to pay the bill less $75 for the squirrel caught on the wrong side of the house (There was no attic entry on that side). I remitted the payment in a timely manner with a written explanation as to why I deducted the $75. Received a follow up bill with a finance charge and an increase in the charge for dormer repair to $155!

I called today to again explain the reason for my payment being less than the now increased bill and was told you pay the entire amount anyway. So this is a business that is disorganized, I think dishonest, and willing to increase charges for services by 300% without any communication. While I'm sure this is a difficult service to provide I would most certainly suggest you find someone other than animal control specialists to provide it.
