How to choose a animal removal or animal trapping service?
Ask questions! its that simple really. Not all raccoon removal companies are built the same. Some only trap the animal, some trap and do exclusion; while other professional wildlife removal companies can and will work with your insurance company to not only remove the wildlife conflict but make it as cost effective as possible for you. Make sure you ask the company you are thinking about using if they have worked with insurance adjusters in the past.
