Washington State wildlife control operator
I provide humane removal services for a variety of wildlife including raccoon, opossum , skunk, and beaver. Any animal in my legal means will be considered. I use safe and effective methods to remove the animals if they can not be deterred.
For animals that cannot be deterred, relocated, or harassed gone I offer humane legal trapping service. I ensure that the animals are trapped safely and humanely euthanized.
In addition to removal, we offer exclusion tips to keep wildlife out of your home or property. I'll inspect your property for potential entry points and offer the best possible solution with conservation in mind. There are many do-it-yourself solutions to wildlife removal. Understanding how animals are getting into your home is the best place to start. One-way doors that allow wildlife to exit your home for food or water but prevent re-entry can be useful and inexpensive, but they can also cause unexpected complications.In most cases, pests find entry to your home for the purpose of having and raising babies. Your attic, walls or chimneys are all safe places to stash vulnerable babies. Depending on the species, mating season can span from March to September.Installing a homemade one-way door without determining if there are babies involved can lead to the injury or death of the animals and increased property damage.
Remove and control food sources.
Seal and repair holes and cracks.
Maintain your roof, outer walls and foundation.
Keep your property clear of woodpiles, overhanging branches and other debris.
Clean your home of clutter and mess.
Commercial and natural pest deterrents.
Removing and controlling wildlife isn’t as simple as it might seem. A good understanding of wildlife behaviour and biology can go a long way toward avoiding unforeseen problems.

Even though some skunks have become domestic animals, a wild skunk can be very damaging to your property.
A skunk’s spray can be detected up to 1.5 miles away, so just think how potent it would be if it sprays in your basement or crawl space. The smell could last for months, and each time it rains, the horrible, eye-watering odor will beco
Even though some skunks have become domestic animals, a wild skunk can be very damaging to your property.
A skunk’s spray can be detected up to 1.5 miles away, so just think how potent it would be if it sprays in your basement or crawl space. The smell could last for months, and each time it rains, the horrible, eye-watering odor will become reinvigorated.
The effect goes beyond making your home an unpleasant place to live. The smell will permeate furnishings, clothes, and appliances, including your HVAC system. They seek shelter in your crawl space, and if that’s not available, can burrow underneath your home causing considerable damage in the process.
If a raccoon gets into your basement, crawl space, or attic, it will tear up and compress the insulation, damage wiring, destroy ducts, and use your house as a latrine. Plus, there’s the risk that it carries a disease like rabies.
If you have unsealed holes in your home, you could be at risk of finding these crafty critters inside.
Mountain beavers damage commercial coniferous tree species in western Washington and Oregon. The damage period extends to about 20 years after planting. The major losses occur from cutting tree seedlings during the first year after planting. Secondary damage occurs during the next 5 years to surviving tree seedlings, followed by stem gird
Mountain beavers damage commercial coniferous tree species in western Washington and Oregon. The damage period extends to about 20 years after planting. The major losses occur from cutting tree seedlings during the first year after planting. Secondary damage occurs during the next 5 years to surviving tree seedlings, followed by stem girdling and root damage for the next 10 to 20 years. Increased need for weed and brush control and occasional replanting costs add to the economic losses caused by mountain beavers.
Some of the common bobcat problems you may face include:
Bobcats have a carnivorous diet, and they will prey on your livestock and pets. It's especially important to keep chickens, dogs, and cats secure at night when bobcats are out hunting.
Bobcats rarely attack humans, but it's still important to be cautious around them.
If a bobcat decides to make their den in your yard, you could be facing landscape damage! It's important to deter bobcats from your yard before they decide to make it their home.
Property damages caused by beavers can be quite extensive. These industrious creatures are known for their impressive dam-building skills, which can lead to flooding and compromise the integrity of foundations. Additionally, beavers can wreak havoc on trees by gnawing on them, causing significant damage to bark and branches. Their activities can disrupt the local ecosystem and pose risks, such as trapping fish and transmitting diseases.
Property damages caused by opossums can result in significant inconvenience and financial burden for property owners. From tearing apart insulation, damaging electrical wiring, to compromising the structural integrity of buildings, the impact of opossums can be extensive. Their presence often leads to unpleasant odors.
