Halker's Wildlife Control Services, LLC FAQ

Costs can vary as every wildlife situation is unique. It is best to give us a call, so we can accurately quote what it is going to take to solve your wildlife problem. In some cases, insurance will cover the cost of removing, repairing, and cleaning up after the wildlife that has invaded your space.

Only in certain cases can we successfully utilize one way doors.  This is often done with animals in the crawlspace and requires a full exclusion.  

We strongly suggest not using one way doors for attic dwelling creatures (except bats).  Evicting squirrels and raccoons with one way doors often prolongs or delays the process.  Many times a squirrel evicted by a one way door chews back in elsewhere within a few weeks or during the next breeding season.  

We aren't salesmen/women.  Our goal is to solve your animal issue to the best of our ability and within your budget, not boost an invoice total to make commision.  

Yes, when pets are in the area we take extra precautions to use humane cage trapping methods and bait that does not attract dogs or cats.

No wildlife issue is the same. Some problems can be solved in minutes while evicting a bat colony or a group of beavers may take several weeks or months.

We do not relocate all animals.  Most animals can be relocated, but only by licensed companies or individuals. Most orphaned animals can be taken to rehabilitators that will raise them until they are old enough to survive on their own.

We do not relocate skunks, armadillos, fox, coyotes, beavers, otters, chipmunks, rats, mice, moles.  In these cases, a humane euthanization is the best option. 

There are many repellents available online, but it is our opinion that most are gimmicks or old tricks that simply do not work. 

We have caught many animals next to ammonia bottles, cayenne pepper, mothballs, or sonic sound devices that are meant to repel animals. The best way to solve the problem is by trapping or excluding the animal.

Yes, we would be happy to help. This happens more often than you think. Wildlife and rodent problems can be tough to solve. You may feel the previous company didn’t do a good job because no animals were caught. 

Sometimes you are right and the company did a poor job, but the truth is that wild animals are unpredictable and sometimes they'll leave for no apparent reason. 

The best thing to do in this situation is to repair the damage they have caused and take all measures to make sure they can’t get back in if they decide to return.
