How the job goes

1 · Find the burrow

We find the active holes and where the animal is living.

2 · Trap it

We set traps at the burrow and come back to check them, so an animal is never left sitting in one.

3 · Block the burrow

Once it is out we fill or block the holes.

4 · Keep it out

We can screen under the shed, deck or porch with mesh set into the ground, so it cannot dig back.

Price

What changes the price

We tell you the price of the first visit on the phone before we come out. It depends on your ZIP code. Each return visit to check a trap has its own price, and we tell you that on the phone too.
