The animal index
Every animal we take, and the ones we don't
Pick the one that sounds like yours. Each page says what we look for, what we do and what we ask of you.
Bats and other protected animals
Protected by the state. We do not remove them, and we tell you who does.
Through the year
When the calls come
These are the months we usually hear about each animal. Yours may keep different hours.
Groundhogs
Mar to Oct
Raccoons
all year
Skunks and opossums
Feb to Nov
Squirrels and chipmunks
all year
Snakes

The bars are a guide from past calls, not a promise about when an animal will or won't be there.
A word on snakes
Snakes
Most snakes in a yard or a barn are not a danger to people, and many are doing the property a favor by eating mice. If one is inside the house, the barn or a crawlspace, we will remove it.
Text a photo first. We would rather tell you what it is from the picture than send a truck, and we will say so when the answer is to leave it alone.
Where our work stops
We do not take dogs and cats
We say it plainly so nobody waits on a call for a job we cannot take.
Dogs
Call your county dog warden.
Cats
Call a humane society or a local rescue.
Hurt or orphaned animals
Call a wildlife rehabilitator. We will give you a number.
Not sure which one you have?
Text a photo of the hole, the tracks or the damage. We will tell you what it looks like and what the next step is.
