A: The price per animal covers us coming to your site, removing the animal from your property, resetting the trap with fresh bait and lure, and relocating or disposing of the captured animal.
Q: How do you prevent catching non-target animals?
A: We try not to catch pets which means we have to avoid using cat food or dog food. Our nuisance baits and lures are not formulated to attract the targeted animal from long distances. We set traps near their travel path or entry point.
Q : Do you charge for non-target animals?
A: Yes. We still have to come to your site and release / remove the animal from your property, re-bait, etc.

A: The customer is responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged traps. Let us know if you feel the trap is at risk.

A: No. It’s against state law for anyone other than the operator of the trap to touch, tamper, or move the trap.
Q: Do I have to sign an agreement?
A: Yes, state law requires we have permission to set traps on private property.

Q: How long is my service fee good for?
A: 30 days from the original completion date and throughout the duration of the project.
Q: How long will you trap?
A: As long as there is evidence of activity. If we think we are finished due to nothing moving within 5-7 days, we start the repair / exclusion phase.
Q: Do you repair the damaged areas to prevent further problems with other animals?
A: Yes. You have the option to select which repairs or exclusion techniques you feel comfortable with.
Q: Do you warrant your repairs?
A: All repairs have a minimum 1 year warranty with the option to renew. These warranties only cover our repairs.

Q: What do you do with the animal once you catch it?
A: State, federal, and local laws dictate what we can do. If legal and suitable habitat is available – we relocate the animals. High risk animals must be euthanized.
