1.) Do you charge to come out? Yes. We are a private company and we do charge for our services. Normally, there is a standard service fee to arrive on-site to provide consultation and an inspection of the premises. After assessing your situation, we will make recommendations to solve the problem and discuss any other charges that may be necessary.

2.) What if I have an animal running through my house? We provide emergency services during regular business hours, after normal hours, on weekends and holidays. However, emergency response does demand a higher service fee. For example, we consider an animal in the living space of your home or business as an emergency. In most cases, a scheduled appointment the next day will normally suffice.

3.) Are You Licensed and Insured? Yes. We are licensed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission,  the New York State DEC and the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife to perform wildlife damage control activities. Also, for the protection of our clients, we carry a 1 million dollar liability insurance coverage policy. We will gladly furnish proof of both upon request.
