Animal Remover now offers interest-free financing through Wisetack up to 24 months* on services between $500 and $25,000.
No, we are not funded by city, state, or federal organizations. We are a private corporation and must charge a fee for our animal removal services. However there are special instances involving exotic animal removal that may be free of charge.
- The Initial Inspection / Service fee covers us traveling to your property, performing a full inspection, determining exactly what animal problem you having and what we can do to solve it.
- Setting traps if applicable, resetting traps inadvertently tripped, cleaning off snow, ice, and debris, rebating traps with fresh bait as necessary, and disinfecting the trap for the next customer.
- Writing out a full Animal Intrusion Worksheet (prices for animal damage repair / cleanup).
Yes, we remove animals on a per head basis because we handle each animal individually.
The price per animal covers us coming to your site, removing the animal from your property, resetting the trap with fresh bait and lure, and relocating or euthanizing the removed animal.
- Unlike other wildlife companies we do not use pet food in our traps.
- We use specialized baits designed by our research and development department to prevent catching non-target animals and domesticated animals.
- Most of our baits and lures are formulated to attract animals that are within 5-10 feet of the trap – not from long distances.
- We set traps near the animal’s entry point or travel path.
- Yes we do. We still have to come to your site, release or remove the animal from your property, reset and re-bait the trap, and/or dispose of the animal.

The customer is responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged traps. All of our traps are secured down with stakes or wire to help prevent theft.
No. It is against state law for anyone other than the operator of the trap to release an animal from the trap, move the trap, touch, or tamper with the trap. If an animal is released from the trap the customer will be charged target price for the animal and for replacement cost of the trap if damaged. This will be determined by an Animal Remover wildlife specialist.
Yes, state law requires we have permission to set traps on private property. We also have specific terms for service that you must agree to.
