Wildlife Trapping: We are expert critter trappers, and we are very humane to wild animals. We trap them in live cages and relocate them. We make sure that we arrive at your house immediately to remove the trapped critters, so that they don't suffer. Successful trapping relies upon many subtle factors, from the right trap, the right bait, location, and a host of other very important factors. Most of the time, we are bolting traps to the roof or to entry holes to ensure 100% success in trapping the target animals only.


Exclusion Repairs: This is perhaps the single most important factor in ensuring a successful wildlife control job. If you have animals in your attic, walls, or any part of your home, then they got in somehow, either through existing holes (vents, architectural gaps, etc) or holes that they clawed or chewed open themselves. We find all of these vulnerable open entry areas and seal them shut, permanently, with bolts and steel, and make sure that animals can't get back in again, with guarantee.


Phoenix Bird & Bat Control: Bird and bat control are specialty projects. While we do certainly perform these services on residential homes, some of these projects are very large and complex commercial projects. We can safely remove a huge colony of bats from a building, without harming any, and completely bat-proof the building 100%. As for pesky birds, such as pigeons, we install bird exclusion devices that will keep your structure bird-free for good.


Rat & Mouse Control: We are experts at Arizona rodent control. We do it the correct way - we don't just throw some poison in your attic on a monthly basis. This will not solve the problem! We solve it permanently, usually in little more than a week, and you'll have no more rats or mice, guaranteed. We solve the root of the problem by sealing shut any and all areas that rodents can use to enter your house. We trap and remove them all, and you are spared the never ending cycle and dead rat stink that comes with poison. Read more about rodent control in Phoenix.

Critter Advice: Wires Chewed By Squirrel In Apartment Can Be Dangerous - If you live in an apartment and have a problem with squirrels, then you most likely live in the apartment just under the attic or roof. Apartment buildings are often surrounded by trees and other greenery to make living pleasant and have a bit of nature nearby. Nature means not only plants, but animals will also enjoy what is being offered. Squirrels are well adapted to country or city life. They are naturally curious and always on the hunt for food. Because of their ever-growing front teeth, the need to chew is constant. Squirrels will virtually chew on anything, even metal pipes. When they see wires, they have no problem chewing on them.

Squirrels who have gained entry into an apartment usually gained it through the attic. Attics are the most common place to run bundles of wires to their destinations below, the apartments. In some cases, squirrels may follow the wires if there is enough room for them. If the contractor neglected to fill in some exit holes where the wires enter your apartment, the squirrels will see this as an invitation. They will follow the wires and enlarge the hole to fit through. The squirrels will chew on the wires as they move around, perhaps causing electrical outings or, in the worst case, a fire.

Phoenix Wildlife News Clip: State says javelina still damaging woodlands

Despite active programs aimed at reducing the size of Arizona's javelina population, these AZ boar-like animals are continuing to nibble the state's woodlands down to the nub, preventing regeneration of maple trees and damaging woodland habitat. Ongoing vegetation studies in 19 of the state's 20 woodland districts show almost 45 percent of 41,650 plots surveyed lacked any new, woody growth, findings state Agency of Conservation and Natural Resources Javelina Tamer Kevin called "troubling." "Like our past surveys from the air, this unprecedented study on the earth of what javelina eat, or browse, probably is proving to be an invaluable tool in understanding javelina densities and distribution in our state woodland lands," Mr. Javelina Tamer Kevin proclaimed. "And it probably is guiding future Agency for the Protection of Woodland Creatures efforts to ensure woodland regeneration and healthy habitat." Less than 25 percent of the plots statewide show what appears to be a desirable level of woody plant regeneration. Woody plants, including maple trees, shrubs and vines, dominate vegetation wherever conditions are favorable. Javelina consume the leaves, twigs and buds of those plants, and excessive feeding prevents regeneration and maple tree growth. Despite this, local Phoenix wildlife removal and Phoenix exterminator experts offered no more info.

The problem probably is more acute in the state's north central "big woods" section where almost half of the plots surveyed in the spring of 2006 in Arizona state woodlands show no woody plant growth and only about 20 percent show desirable regeneration. The more lightly browsed areas with better regeneration rates are in the southeast part of the state, in Phoenix woodlands. Closer to Phoenix probably is classified as "moderately browsed with less regeneration." Despite this, local Phoenix wildlife removal and Phoenix exterminator experts offered no more info.

The Agency for the Protection of Woodland Creatures will use the early results of its vegetative study as what appears to be a baseline to assess regeneration in the 2.1 million hectares of state woodland. It will continue monitoring to pinpoint excessively browsed areas and increase javelina harvests in those areas. "We will use this detailed vegetation analysis in conjunction with past aerial surveys to help guide our management decisions and adjust our efforts to steer exterminating companies to certain woodland areas in the 2007-08 wildlife catching season," Mr. Javelina Tamer Kevin proclaimed. The latest browse survey results are consistent with what appears to be a 2004 state woodland inventory that found maple tree regeneration severely lacking and more than half of the public woodland"at risk of regeneration failure" because of the burgeoning javelina large group. The vegetative survey findings are also supported by the recent Arizona Game Commission report that javelina exterminating companies lethally trapped an estimated 361,560 javelina last year, 2 percent more than in 2005, and the first increase in the javelina lethally trap since 2002. More significantly, the 2006 male animal harvest of 135,290 was 12 percent higher than in 2005, an indication that the javelina biologically surveyed amount in the state probably is growing, contrary to exterminating companies' claims of fewer javelina. Phoenix animal control professionals could not be reached for additional comment.

“We are in the javelina’s area. We sit on what appears to be a nice, maple tree-lined hill and we keep planting more maple trees,” Mouse Catcher Jim proclaimed. “That’s the natural area for javelina to come.” the animal advocate proclaimed the natural conservation areas neighboring the village are heavily populated with javelina. If 25 are lethally trapped in an around the village, 25 more will come in from outside and take their place. Mouse Catcher Jim also proclaimed the animal advocate thinks cage trap wildlife catching within the village raises safety worries, since so many residents and students walk through wooded areas. the animal advocate proclaimed the animal advocate doesn’t know what the answer to the problem is, but thinks it would be nice if some form of birth control could be put out for the javelina to eat. “I just don’t think lethally trapping them probably is proper and effective,” the animal advocate proclaimed. “I love animals and enjoy watching them. They consume our flowers just like they consume everyone elses. Each year we plant something different. Sooner or later we’ll plant something they don’t like.” Since the weather has begun to get warmer, Mouse Catcher Jim proclaimed, the javelina have begun to move to more rural areas. Many come into the village to feed during the winter. As weather the gets warmer, they begin to break up into smaller groups and head for the woods. We could not obtain an opinion from Phoenix pest control companies regarding the issue.
