Southern California Wildlife & Animal Removal, Trapping & Control

I saw two skunks on my patio a couple of nights ago, then last night I went into the back yard and saw them go into the crawl space under the house - apparently the cable installer didn't close it up sufficiently. Called Urban Wildlife, David gave me an exact quote and said he'd have a technician call me. Chris called five minutes later and said he could be at the house in 20 minutes.

He crawled under the house, did a through inspection, and luckily for me the skunks weren't under there. He closed up a couple of areas where critters might get in and was gone in about 30 minutes. Thanks!

Chris is my hero!!! I called yesterday on Valentine's Day and he came out the same day after 3 other appoints in opposite ends of Los Angeles! A skunk has been living under my house in the crawl space spraying the heater and charging at me when I leave at 5 AM for work, for the last couple of months the skunk has became more aggressive. Our cat got into a fight with the skunk scratching our cat's face and spraying her. I was at my wits end with this skunk. Chris trapped her after an hour of her playing a game of coming out only to enter again. Once caged she sprayed but he noticed she was pregnant and realized why she was so aggressive, he took her with him to relocate her since to have her babies in the wild and agreed she would come back if he only scared her out. Words cannot express the anxiety and stress Chris took off my shoulders. Thank you!!!!!!

As good as advertised.

Stop reading these reviews and just call them. Came within 90 minutes, helped scour our house for the funky smell.

When Chris could not find anything, charged us less than the quote.

Instant add to our "House Vendors List".

We have used these guys for years with excellent results.  Jonathan is always available and provides excellent service.  We wont use anybody else.

Jack L.

Excellent service.  We had squirrel trapped in our fireplace.  They quickly scheduled a time and captured and released the squirrel.

Called them on a Friday night and they were at our house the next morning - Mike was great - he set the traps but also looked at our roof to see if there were areas compromised - once the possum was in the trap Chris came and picked it up - he also made the repairs needed to keep animals out of the attic.  Very reasonable - very responsive.  Wouldn't use anyone else.  I now see why they have such great reviews!  Thank you so much

I'm so glad I found this place! I found a weird and very intricate nest hanging on a wire on my balcony late at night. We couldn't figure what it was and had all types of guesses going, which set us into panic mode. I found Urban Wildlife Trappers online and called them around 11pm.
Monica was very helpful with getting things started for me. They were able to tell me what it was based on a picture I sent them.
It turned it to be a hummingbird nest (felt pretty silly), but because it was sitting on a wire, I thought it would be best if it was removed.
The next morning Rio got in touch with me and gave  me some great options on what to do.
When he arrived, he took care of things very quickly and charged us less than quoted.
So great to work with honest and genuine people! Thank you Rio!

So I've been hearing birds in my attic for the past week or so. I called Jonathan and Chris to come check out my home. They came about an hour after I contacted them and they inspected my house. They quickly targeted the problem areas in my attic, which were several openings along the base of my attic and top of the roof.

They began to go to work almost as soon as they arrived determining that sparrows and pigeons we're frequenting my home. They cleaned up any leftover animal waste, sanitized the affected areas, extracted any old nests, and set up some animal prevention barriers to patch up all the holes.

They did it in a timely manner and we're very professional. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks Again!

I rent a home in North Hills, CA. At night for a couple months now, we've been hearing scratching noises and just heavy steps on our ceiling. I called my landlord and they sent someone to see what is up in our attic. It ended up being a possum! So they ended up hiring Urban Wildlife Trapping Experts.

Saani called me and made an appointment to come by the same afternoon. I have a 4 year old son and a 3 month old and he was very friendly and polite to us and our kids. He came into our house and spent a great deal of time fighting this very stubborn possum. It was a female and mentioned that she must be pregnant by the way she was fighting him. However, he was able to grab her and close the trap so no other predators would be able to come in. Thank goodness! He explained everything we needed to know and answered all our questions. He did such a great job and would highly recommend using them and referring to any friends or family that needs their service.

Very courteous and accommodating service. Response time was good and reasonable pricing for a skunk removal.  Thank you!

Thank you to Sanni for a seamless job. We caught another skunk and he removed it without having the skunk spray. Awesome!

David M.

During Easter weekend we discovered a visiting family of opossums taking residence in our garage. We called Urban Wildlife Trapping Experts and they called us back promptly. Trapper Saani was professional and used care removing our visitors. We highly recommend them and were very pleased with their promptness and customer service!!!

Jonathan and Mike did a fantastic job trapping the skunks that were hanging out around my house recently.  Very easy to work with and were extremely professional and courteous.  I would highly recommend them for removing any Critters!!

My landlord contacted this company because we had been hearing a lot of noises on our roof. Matt came out right away and set traps. He was very helpful and explained everything. The very next day I called him because we had caught a large possum...gross....he came out right away and picked up the possum and explained a lot about it. He then left more traps. Matt was always available early in the morning when we needed him to come get the gross rodents out of our yard in their cage. We've caught two so far and we can still here one roaming around. Thanks Matt!

I had a gopher that was destroying my back yard I called this company the owner personally responded he came out on a rainy day set the trap and in a week came back and removed the dead gopher.  
He is in my opinion the best at what he does and is worth the money.  I paid him $150 and he saved my back Yard.
I would use him again in the future.

Chris and his partner (so so sorry I didn't get his name) are my heroes!! I trapped a skunk instead of the mean tom cat I am targeting. It was fascinating to watch them transfer from my cage to theirs.  I'm also so pleased to hear that they catch and release somewhere else. Chris gave me great pointers on catching the mean cat, too. They are also very friendly and easy to work with.  You guy's are the best!!

I want to thank Jonathan and his great team. We called because of a horrible smell as skunks were spraying under our house built in the 1920's. There was a crawl space opening under the property that was not repaired. The skunks were seen going in and out and spraying just a few feet below us.

Sure enough I called Jonathan and his team. They were prompt, through and truly went the extra mile. We did get one of the skunks from under the house in addition to one that died under there.

His team came out and ensured under the house was sanitized and clean, and in addition sealed and secured the opening. I am very grateful for such a hardworking team of professionals that got us through the trying time of having our home smell like skunk right below us. I recommend Jonathan and his team to anyone.

Joseph J.

Fast response time and good overall customer service. After getting quotes from several other service providers they were by far the best deal in town! Jonathan was very genuine and though I hope I don't have to contact them again...I wouldn't hesitate if I needed to. Thanks again!

Trapper John and his team are very accommodating and very nice. Saani and Rio have helped us with our raccoon problem. We've caught 3 so far and there seems to be just 1 left. We're glad we called and glad they're able to humanely help the little guys. We don't want to hurt them, we just don't really want them in the house. Urban Wildlife has been really great!

Called up Urban Wildlife early in the morning, they were able to accommodate my working schedule and come after 6PM same day!  Rosan?  I am not sure if I spelled his name right but he came through and was incredibly personable and professional.  Not only that, he was extremely efficient as well.  He was able to grab this possum I had stuck in my garage with his BARE HANDS!!  Put the possum in a cage and drove off in to the sunset to find her another home.

We had a bird fly into our home and perch 30 feet above the floor on a beam in our entrance hall. I called Johnathan at 6:15am on a Sunday morning and they had a technician out to our house within 90 minutes. They safely removed the bird, not injuring it and also being VERY careful of our home's furnishings, walls and floors.
They were so professional and they saved us!
Without a doubt, a great company with experts.

Jason E.

We've used Urban Wildlife on two separate occasions. Both times Jonathan has been fantastic. If you need to get rid of skunks, Jonathan is the guy!

We had a potentially very tricky situation when a mama raccoon had babies in our attic.  We could hear the chattering and chirping of the babies right over our heads in the bedroom, lots of scratching and scuffling.  We popped out heads up through the trap door into the attack and there she was, an enormous female hovering over her litter in the far corner in a narrow crawl space.  Even though it was late on a Sunday evening these guys got right back to us and sent Mike out the next morning,  The Mike was on time, knowledgeable, humane, knows his craft.  The plan was to do pheromones first so she would move them on her own.  Turns out she had moved the babies in the night, possibly spooked by us.  Mike did a thorough perimeter inspection and sealed the entry ways.  Super professional.  Fair price. Quick response.  I would call them again for critter issues.

Marck S.

What a fantastic group. Thought I had a rat in my wall. Noisy at night, and then I heard more then 1. Waited thinking it would move on, not really into killing little animals. Called these guys and they came out the same day. Checked around didn't see anything so we thought it had left. Then more noise, they come back and recheck. We bust a hole in the wall, wham a raccoon baby paw comes out. Wow! So glad I called these experts, solved my problem and no animals were harmed!

Chris R.

Jonathon was awesome, very efficient, and easy to work with.  I was surprised at how clean he got the roof, and not only did he remove the birds and mesh everything up, he made his cuts very clean.  It is obvious he prides himself in being very organized and thorough.  I will definitely being calling him again if I have more problems
