Professional Animal Control, Wildlife Trapping and Pest Bird Removal of Ithaca, New York - Serving Tompkins County

Nuisance wildlife removal is a PRIVATE SERVICE FOR HIRE available in Ithaca by AAD Wildlife Control. Rich Palmer provides wildlife removal from private homes, business, and industrial properties.

We are professional wildlife removal operators offering animal control solutions based in Ithaca, New York. We pride ourselves on professional trapping services, and on quality snake, bird, and animal removal.

AAD Wildlife Control removes all sorts of wild animals, critters and birds from residential and commercial properties, including bats, snakes, pigeons, skunks, raccoons, swallows, woodpeckers, voles, beavers, and rodents of every kind. We also provide cleanup, sanitization, deodorization, and exclusion work to keep your wildlife problem from recurring, be it a colony of bats in a building, raccoons in the attic, or destructive behaviors of critters such as squirrels, gophers and pigeons.

            We have received many complaints from Ithaca residents about animals getting into homes, offices and buildings.  We’ve seen a large squirrel and raccoon population lately, most particularly.  Any wild animal that gets into your walls, chimney, crawlspace, basement or attic can cause structural damage, health risks and attract more animals and bugs to your home or building.  While it’s true that most wild animals are negatively affected by human expansion into their natural habitat, some wild animals actually adapt quite well and thrive around us.  Raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, skunks, opossums, rabbits, voles, gophers, woodchucks and moles love the environment we provide.  They can harm us or damage property, and they likewise put themselves at risk of illness and harm.  When wild animals rely on us for food through trash, gardens, pet food or other sources, they lose their willingness and sometimes their ability to forage for their natural diet.  They can become weak, lacking the nutrients they would otherwise obtain in their normal habitat.  Well-meaning people who think they’re rescuing animals that appear orphaned or weak may actually be causing them greater harm or removing them from an adult animal in the area.  Wildlife control experts are experienced at handling wild animals humanely, removing them from properties effectively, and protecting homes and other buildings by installing materials designed to prevent the animals from returning. 

We solve many types of wildlife control conflicts in Ithaca and surrounding areas. Give us a call if you need expert animal removal and/or live wildlife trapping. We can also perform an inspection of your property to evaluate the problem.

Many of the projects we solve involve raccoon families in attics and chimneys, mud swallow nests on stucco, woodpeckers drilling siding, voles and gophers destroying lawns, rats or squirrels thumping and bumping around inside walls and in attics, bat infestations, skunks stealing pet food and snakes living in crawlspaces and stone walls.

Along with physical damage and disease, wild animals also bring along disturbance and nuisance with all their noise and commotion and smell. Baby raccoons chirp and chitter like little birds; raccoons and rats will fight all night and keep people awake; skunk smell takes the cake, but have you ever smelled a dead animal in your ventilation system? We have seen much, much more than these problems, but that is a general idea of the kinds of problems that my professional wildlife removal operators and I are prepared to solve.

Not only do my technicians and I trap and remove problem wild animals, we do a lot of other dirty work, too. Don't hesitate to call us for dead animal removal, pigeon waste cleanup, bat guano removal, mouse droppings, decontamination, repairs, above ground and below ground rodent slick fencing, odor control for skunk spray, and the like. We are a full service pest control company with a wide range of animal control solutions.

I have been in the professional wildlife control business for many years. My favorite stories and experiences are removing bats from schools and churches.
