Across the world people are being asked to work from their homes. It really is an unprecedented time when looking at how America is doing their jobs. For us, animals don’t seem to concerned about COVID-19 so we are still making sure we are at your service.

Here’s the problem - they don’t exactly come in through the front door. They will find cracks or soffits in your roof to squeeze through…. and those are high, very high.
So let the pros take care of it! We will find the splits and cracks these squirrels are fitting through and position the right tools. Wildlife Control Services has years of experiencing scaling the highest of roofs to ensure that your flying squirrels are trapped and removed.
