We can remove all wild animals from your home or business location in Van Nuys. Our process is always safe, humane, and nontoxic animal removal. Our trained wildlife technicians use a professional process to remove and secure your home or office from nuisances wildlife today and in the future.

It starts with your phone call and we will carefully listen to your wildlife problem. Every case is different, so we will ask appropriate questions to help us understand the situation better. Questions like, "do you hear the noises at night or during the daytime?" or "what type of roof do you have?" After we have a general idea of your situation, we can provide a ballpark price range, and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment to inspect your property.

The first step Urban Wildlife Trapping Experts takes is doing a thorough inspection of your property. It is important we find wildlife or rodent evidence to help us better understand your problem and the animal's behavior. Our professionals can identify different types of animals by inspecting their fur, footprints, feces, nest or any other signs of animal activity. Your roof is the most likely entry point into your attic for most animals seeking shelter. We also can check under your house or deck; this is another common area we find animals nesting. We usually find smaller rodents in the wall, like rats, mice, and squirrels. During our inspection, we look for weak points on your property.

INSPECTION: Once on site, we will perform a full inspection of your home and property. This allows us to use the correct strategy and traps. If the animals are in an attic, a full building inspection is crucial, including the following:

• All ground-level areas, such as piper or A/C line entry & exit areas, A/C chase bottoms, ground-level vents, etc.
• All mid-level areas, such as dryer vents, siding gaps, first-floor eaves or dormers, etc.
• We inspect the entire roof, including all plumbing stacks, ridge caps, vents, and other potential gaps or holes.
• We also inspect inside your attic, to identify animals and damage they have caused.
• If the animals are outside, we notice many subtle clues that will assist us in a successful strategy.
• Commercial Property
• Residential Property
• Storefront Property

Once we understand what animal species we are dealing with, and the problem, we use the most effective means of removing the animals. We use dozens of different types of traps.

• Trapping - If trapping the animal(s) in live cage traps, trap type, set, and location are crucial to success.
• Exclusion - Oftentimes, we are able to simply set one-way doors or other exclusion devices that allow the animals inside a building to safely exit, but never get back inside.
• Removal By Hand - Sometimes we actually remove animals by hand, or with special tools like snare poles.

The Law - In all cases, we obey state and local laws regarding wildlife, but aim to take the most humane approach.
Urban Wildlife Trapping Experts does not believe in poisoning animals. Our experts only use the safest animal removal methods and techniques available. For most animal removals we use humane animal traps. These traps are designed to capture wildlife safely without harming the animal.

In some cases, we can apply a pheromone scent in the attic, wall, or crawl space. We mainly use pheromone for female raccoons with baby kit raccoons.

Locating all holes leading into your structure would give us a better map what needs to be sealed up once all animals have been removed. When our wildlife removal experts are on your roof or in your crawl space, they locate the exact entry point which the animals are using. These entry points are often small holes, broken vents, or weakened exterior walls. Finding these entry/exit points is an important step in the wildlife removal process.

Repairs are a crucial step in the wildlife removal process. In many cases, such as bat or rodent control, the job cannot be performed without detailed repairs, and in all cases, sealing the entry holes shut ensures that no future wildlife will ever enter your home.

• 100% of the entry holes must be found and sealed shut, or the job is not complete.
• Our repairs are professional contractor grade, look good, and when applicable we use steel, which rodents such as rats or squirrels are unable to chew through.
• We give a written guarantee on our repairs against any future animal entry.
