Animals that previously were "in the country" are now becoming regular backyard visitors. 

Our pest management team is frequently called upon to resolve pest or nuisance problems involving a wide range of vertebrates.  Vertebrate pests and nuisance wildlife can be defined as any vertebrates, native or introduced, domestic or feral, that can adversely affect human health or well-being, or conflict in some significant way with human activity or interests.  Social, cultural, and political factors often will play a significant role in the strategy and methodology of resolving some pest management problems associated with these animals.

A note of caution, wild animals should never be handled alive or dead with bare hands.  Personnel engaged in wildlife management (i.e., trapping and handling racoons, skunks, bats, coyotes, foxes, feral dogs and feral cats) should be immunized against rabies.  These animals should be handled with an extreme level of care and concern during the removal, transport and release of any animal.

Strong Warning of Caution:  Please be aware that we have heard of some animal trapping and removal service companies that are trapping and destroying the animals once they are captured.  They then "sell" the client on the idea that it is illegal for them to release the animal once it is caught and must be destroyed.  We became aware of this practice recently during this past summer when a new customer told us that they had recently trapped 4 raccoons from their backyard.  The company they hired stated that it was illegal for them to release the animals and that they would be destroyed.  Needless to say we were furious with both the trapping company and our new client who hired this company.  Obviously, these animals should never be destroyed and this practice should be avoided by using a knowledgeable, reputable, and concerned company regarding our environment and our wildlife. 

Please contact Vanish Pest Control about our safe handling, live trapping, safe transport and safe release service if you are experiencing a wildlife problem.  Please note that Vanish will only trap, transport and release the animal to a new area away from the problem site only.  The animal will never be destroyed.
