All Wildlife Removal Service of New Jersey
is happy to help you figure out how to choose a trustworthy contractor
to help you solve your nuisance animal conflict...
With the vast amount of information available on the
internet, and even though we service many parts of
New Jersey (including Monmouth, Mercer,
Middlesex, Ocean, Somerset, and Sussex counties),
we are aware that we may be too far away to service
everyone who will read this page. It is our pleasure to
give you the information you need to help you find an
animal contol specialist in your area that will do the job
right the first time.
When a contractor gets a call from someone with an animal concern, the first thing that contractor
should do is set up an appointment for an inspection.
If your potential contractor gives you firm prices over the phone, you probably don’t want to use
that contractor. Without looking at the job, he’s probably giving you a “loss leader” price to get in
the door... with the intention of hitting you up for more money later.
Also, beware of contractors that give "free" estimates. A company’s time has value. Anyone who
advertises free estimates is making his money up on his customers in another way. No contractor
gets every job – and nothing is free!
What the contractor should do is charge a reasonable inspection fee for his time and expertise –
and then, if your decision is to go ahead with the job, the inspection fee will be waived.
When a contractor does an inspection, if he walks around your house but does not put a ladder up
on your building, he/she is not doing a complete inspection. It is not normally necessary for a
contractor to get INSIDE your attic. But it is certainly necessary to get up high enough to inspect
the roof, gutters, soffits, etc.
The way to determine what kind of animal is getting into your house is to inspect droppings, hair,
tracks, etc. If your problem is a raccoon, for example, the hole on your building will be
approximately the size of a pineapple. That should be an obvious hole to find! However, it often
requires a ladder to find it – NOT just a walk-around.
Later, once the job is complete and your contractor assures you that he has taken care of the animal
(s) that have invaded your home or business, that contractor should provide you with a warranty
that is good for the entire structure. Beware of any contractor whose warranty only covers the
part of the structure where he has done the work.
Squirrels, for example, are capable of getting into very obscure openings. You may pay for a
"squirrel job" but end up with a warranty that is useless. Sometimes a squirrel can find a hole that
the contractor didn’t find. When that squirrel gets in, you have to start all over again - and pay all
over again!
If your contractor is a professional company, they should also be offering you a renewal on the
warranty. This means when the warranty is up, they should offer you the chance to recertify the
building as "animal-proof" at a reduced price that will extend your warranty - as well as your peace
of mind.
Even old houses will settle. You paid good money to have the wildlife removal work done. You
certainly inspect your furnace and chimney every year. Why not spend a couple dollars to make
sure your house is still animal-proofed?
Please email us and we will be happy to give you the information you need to find the right
contractor for you, wherever you are. We’ve even helped people in Missouri find the right
contractor!
