Services
Bat Removal
Our certified technicians provide humane bat exclusion services using one-way doors and comprehensive sealing techniques. We address health risks from guano while preserving bat populations through ethical relocation. Services include attic restoration, insulation replacement, and odor elimination following infestations.
Raccoon Control
Professional raccoon trapping and exclusion services prevent property damage and disease transmission. Our team repairs entry points, removes waste, and installs preventive barriers. We handle mother raccoons with kits using specialized techniques during breeding seasons while complying with state regulations.
Bird Management
Custom bird control solutions address nuisance species like Canada geese and woodpeckers. We employ humane deterrents, exclusion netting, and habitat modification to prevent nesting on commercial properties while maintaining compliance with migratory bird protections.
Skunk Removal
Safe skunk removal services eliminate odor risks and property damage. Our technicians use live traps and exclusion fencing to prevent burrowing under structures. We also provide odor elimination treatments using molecular-level neutralizers for contaminated areas.
Groundhog Control
Effective groundhog trapping and exclusion services protect properties from burrowing damage. We install buried wire barriers and repair foundation breaches while using live-capture methods to relocate animals to suitable habitats away from residential areas.
Questions

Scratching noises in walls, droppings, nesting materials, property damage, and unusual animal activity during daylight hours indicate potential infestations requiring professional inspection.

Are your removal methods humane?
Our ethical practices prioritize animal welfare through live trapping, exclusion techniques, and relocation while maintaining compliance with all wildlife protection regulations.
How quickly can you respond to wildlife emergencies?
We offer rapid response services with often same-day availability through our Midwest-based teams who understand regional wildlife patterns and challenges.
What preventive measures do you recommend?
We identify and seal entry points, modify habitats to deter wildlife, and provide exclusion warranties to prevent future infestations while maintaining ecological balance.

We have had a constant problem with woodpeckers making holes in the side of our house and then other birds living in them later. Zack Oakley solved our problems! not only did he patch the holes in our house, he also put up reflective objects to deter the woodpeckers. On top of that, the first time he came there were still young birds in the nests and he both identifies that for us and then came back 3 weeks later to deal with the problem since we didn't want him to remove the young birds. Now that is service!

The Varment Guard Guys did a great job and it was an awful mess in the attic from raccoons being up there. The guys were Friendly, thorough, careful, and informative. Home insurance helped a lot too! The guys even brought in a shop vac to clean up any stray insulation. So happy it is finished.

Like our previous experience with Plunkett's, Matt was friendly and efficient. Our problem was resolved within hours of my call. Animal-carcass removal isn't cheap, but Plunkett's price is as low as any and way less than some. Service: Wildlife
