Our Proven 3-Step Wildlife Removal Process
Safe, Humane, and Effective Solutions for Every Situation
Step 1: Expert Inspection
Our licensed technicians begin by thoroughly inspecting your home or property. For ground-dwelling animals like skunks or groundhogs, we focus on burrowing signs, disturbed soil, and foundation gaps. For attic or crawlspace invaders like opossums or chipmunks, we look for droppings, gnaw marks, and access points in siding, soffits, or vents.
We use motion cameras and other non-invasive tools to verify species and activity levels. This ensures we’re not just guessing—we’re creating a precise removal strategy that fits your specific needs.
Step 2: Customized Removal Strategy
Once we confirm the species and activity level, we create a humane trapping and exclusion plan. Our methods include:
Live trapping and relocation
One-way exclusion doors for attic wildlife
Habitat modification to prevent return visits
Removal and disposal of deceased animals (as needed)
Every removal is tailored to the animal involved and adheres to Michigan’s wildlife laws.
Step 3: Sealing & Prevention
After removal, we provide a full exterior sealing service to prevent future intrusions. Common targets for sealing include:
Gaps around foundations
Vents and crawlspace entries
Decks, sheds, or other sheltered areas
Roofline transitions and attic vents
We also provide odor neutralization services when needed (especially with skunks or deceased animals) to restore comfort and peace of mind.
