Wildlife Removal

I have a rental property and my tenants were complaining about squirrels getting into the attic. I called several wildlife removal companies in hopes of getting 3 free estimates but none give free estimates. Whomever I choose would apply the estimate cost to the job.

Since they all charge around $100 or more getting three estimates would have been cost prohibited. So much for due diligence. So after several phone conversations with different companies I decided to choose Gotcha Wildlife. Ken spent time educating me about his services. He understood that I had a tight budget and was willing to worth with me. Remember if you can’t get on the roof to see what damaged is being caused then you’re at the mercy of the contractor.

Here’s where Ken shines. He took pictures of the entire roof and showed me the areas that were compromised. He quoted me a price and stuck with it. He also provided a fix which was very cost effective and another quote for preventative maintenance when I’m financially capable of doing so. He also replaced some damage flashing but the damage flashing was more exertive then the originally quoted and did not charge me extra. He even fixed someone else’s shady work including a hole in my roof. Next step is to wait 2 weeks once the squirrels are gone; Ken will come back at no charge to remove the one-way doors and install a permanent fix. With a 3 year guarantee how can you go wrong?

I will defiantly bring Ken back for the preventative maintenance work when my rental unit in back in the black. I would also highly recommend Ken. It’s comforting to know that some contractors are very honest, do great work and exceed your expectations. Don’t take my work for it, hire Ken and find out for yourself.

removal of squirrel nest

A couple of squirrels chewed a hole thru the fascia of our roof and built a nest. I contacted Gotcha Wildlife after reading on their website that they specialized in humane wildlife removal. Kenneth was at our house within the hour and proceeded to install a one way trap door allowing the squirrels to exit but not re-enter, he also replaced some damaged flashing and installed some preventative mesh in the vents of our roof.
A couple of weeks later he returned to remove the trap door and cover the hole. He was also kind enough to re-install a missing piece of eavestrough that fell due to the squirrels.
I was very impressed at how fast Kenneth responded to my call. He was very knowledgeable, professional and lovely to deal with.
I would gladly recommend his services!

Birds in soffit

I was very pleased with the service and professionalism we received from Gotcha Wildlife. Kenneth patched the entire gap between the soffit and our house even though it was much larger than estimated in the quote. I appreciated the extra effort to ensure our attic roof isn't compromised by the same family of birds next year. Thanks Kenneth!

Squirrel Removal

Found Squirrel trying to make home somewhere through our roof in our attic likely, called a few companies, Ken@Gotcha Wildlife was one of the first one's to respond, gave a very competitive quote, answered all my questions with details i wanted, on finalizing, he promptly came in and setup a one way route for Squirrel to leave, checked my attic as well for possible squirrel family or damage done, he also recommended sealing a few more possible inlets which i agreed and were done for a reasonable price, came back after a week to seal the original entrance permanently, overall very happy with the quick and great service received.

Raccoon and Squirrel problems

I called Gotcha Wildlife after having raccoon and squirrel problems in our roof. Kenneth was able to come the same day to inspect, repair the holes and clean up. He is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly and provides prompt service. I would suggest you call Gotcha Wildlife first.

Raccoon removal

I had a raccoon living on my 3rd story balcony. Ken was the only company of the 4 that I emailed/phoned to respond immediately (the other 3 never even got back to me!). He was very responsive to all subsequent calls/texts regarding the trap's status, and I was impressed that he even planned to come out and reset it when it was something I could have easily done (I had to ask him if I could do it, and only then did he say yes and explain how simple it was). Very professional, reliable service. Would absolutely recommend and use him again.

Wildlife control

Over the past 2 years, Ken has been to my home several times to deal with different animals that were trying to take up residence in or on my house. In each case he worked quickly and eliminated the problem. This included raccoons in my roof, birds in the fascia, a squirrel in my basement and, most recently mice in my kitchen. Way too much wildlife too close at hand! On his last visit, Ken recommended creating a barrier around one part of the foundation of the house where the mice were most likely entering. I agreed that preventing access was much better than continuously baiting and trapping. Ken's service is prompt, friendly and thorough. I would highly recommend Gotcha Wildlife for quick and humane removal of unwanted 'pests' in or around your home.

Raccoon Re-location / Roof Protection

My wife and I had a 3 month battle with a Raccoon family of 6 damaging our property. We had tried everything, but nothing worked so I called Gotcha Wildlife (among 4 other Wildlife Professionals) and Kenneth was amazing. He takes the time to explain everything and offer expert advice and options. He came out to our place the same evening after the course of 72 hours Kenneth successfully re-located the 6 raccoons. He also provided raccoon protection/prevention installing roof guards, provided a ton of suggestions to prevent other animals from returning. I must have asked Kenneth 100 questions, and he was very patient, very prompt, incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and very kind. You can tell he really cares about the animals and has your and their best interest at heart. We strongly recommend Kenneth and Gotcha Wildlife and would happily work with him again and had an exceptional experience. Thanks Kenneth!

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I called Gotcha Wildlife after having racoon and squirrel problems in our roof. Kenneth was able to come out the next day and repair the holes within a couple hours. He is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a refreshing change of pace to deal with someone that actually gets back to you and provides prompt service. I have had MANY calls to other contractors for house work go unanswered. I only wish I could hire him for more work! You want to call Gotcha Wildlife.
