I had the most annoying squirrel problems the last year or so. They would hop on my roof from a neighbor's tree and found their way into my attic from an opening they made up there. The last straw was when they started to scratch through the drywall in my bedroom ceiling. After calling several pest control people, they could not find how the squirrels were getting up there. But when I finally found Burt, I knew I was talking to someone who knew what he was doing and specialized in dealing with these types of problems. Burt found all the potential areas where the squirrels were getting in, set traps, caught them all (3 little f'ers), and patched all the areas after a week of monitoring for more. And he's a super nice guy too, couldn't recommend him more! read more

Burt was great to work with! Very responsive, understanding, and worked with my schedule to make a visit to my home. He was very thorough and answered all of my questions. I'm definitely keeping his information handy for the future and will be recommending him to others. read more

Ark Trapping was kind, professional and a fair price. He took his time, showed how the mice were entering, and fixed the holes. We spent months trying to take care of the issue oursleves. We haven't seen a mouse in almost a month. We would highly and use Ark Trapping in the future. read more

Burt came by to look for snakes, he also caulked holes & filled with wire mesh, and added a prevention method to prevent animals from entering attic fan. Price was reasonable and super nice guy. read more

Burt came over to the house - took his time inspecting and closing all the holes the mice had been coming in for years! Finally, someone who fixed the issue instead of 4 years of treating them other exterminator companies were doing. If you need it done right - Burt is your guy. Update: 7 months later - no mice. read more

Burt was AWESOME! Called him late afternoon, he came out the next day. Diagnosed the problem and discussed the solutions. He set up his camera on the roof; within 2 hours, we saw our friendly squirrels entering through the attic fan vent (just as he predicted). Came out the next day and set up traps. Caught the squirrels, sealed the vent and other entry points around our house. He is personable, honest and very reasonable price. I truly recommend him and would definitely use him again. read more

See all

Recommend Burt at Ark Trapping for all animal removal needs, including foxes with babies! Humane efforts, job well done and places sealed where it won't happen again! Also, very responsive and shows up compared to other companies out there!! Also great value! read more

I contacted a critter control company prior to Ark Trapping and they concluded that I had a mouse issue. I was about to do work with them until I read their bad review on Yelp. I saw good reviews on Ark Trapping and Burt took my call in the evening while he was on vacation and scheduled an appointment. When he came, he was able to find a large hole where squirrel was entering in our house. If I went with other critter control company, we would still had the same issue since they never bothered to go up the latter to the side of the house where we had the large hole right above our fireplace. With Burt's expertise, he determined that it was squirrel, not mouse (mouse didn't make the climbing nose I described), and he carefully patched all the holes professionally around my house for both mouse and squirrel entrance. He found mouse dropping in our basement and put traps. Burt is such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his service and expertise! read more

Burt is a lifesaver! We discovered a large rat snake hanging out in our laundry room. Burt detoured out our way between jobs to help us get it out of here before our three year old could stumble upon it. By the time he arrived, the snake had hidden itself away, and we were worried we'd be stuck with it for a while. Burt did not give up, though, and managed to lure that snake out to the open so that he could get it out of here! We're so thankful for him! read more

Burt! I can't say enough good things about Burt and Ark Trapper. He was quick, knowledgeable, intuitive and friendly. Most of all, reliable, experienced and very smart. He knows what he's doing, how to do it, and provides the best service hands down! He found the dead critter in minutes, extracted him in seconds and then desensitized and cleaned up the mess. He explained the process, next steps and even followed up with texts the next day. He is very skilled, engaged, customer service oriented and great at what he does. I wouldn't recommend ANYONE else! I don't want to find or hear of any other critters in my house, but if they do show, I have Burt on speed dial. Thank you Burt! read more

Burts the Best. We discovered mice, Burt found how they were coming in, caught them, and prevented them from returning and did an extremely thorough assessment of our entire house and came out the next day. Thank you!!! read more

Squirrel nest in car and called Ark Trapping to help....he told me to poke it with a broom and 'let the mother know where you put the nest'. Also wished me good luck!! Some help you are!! read more

I was looking for a bird's nest removal company to cover my dryer exhaust vent on the outside of my condo... and Burt from ARK Trapping came to the rescue. Within a few minutes of sending out an online Yelp request to schedule the company's services, Burt responded and set up a time to talk on the phone. Burt was able to come out the next day and to address/remediate the issue(s) with the exhaust vent. He was very quick, communicative, and professional throughout the process. He explained everything in detail and sent pictures over the phone while I was at work. In the end, the exhaust vents were well covered and Burt did an excellent job -- no more problems with birds nesting in our exhaust fans! If you want high quality service, I would definitely recommend Burt and ARK Trapping! read more

Bert was the quickest to respond about bird's nesting in our vents AND he did a great job. He cleaned out our vents and put in a screen to the vent the birds were accessing. His price was reasonable and he was a pleasure to work with. I've already recommended him to a neighbor! read more

Burt was recommended by a friend. I was desperate to find help when I heard loud screeching noises throughout the day in my home. I immediately called Ark Trapping & Burt promptly picked up. He began diagnosing my problem right then & there & continually followed up until my problem was solved. At his request, we made a recording of the sounds & he determined that I had a tree frog in/under my home. I couldn't believe it since the noises were unbelievably loud, but you know what? He was right. I found the little guy in a plant. Burt never even made it out to my home (although he did offer to squeeze me in many, many times) since he thought it best that I try to determine the location of the noise. He charged me nothing for days of phone calls & the knowledge/guidance he shared. I'd recommend him to anyone who asked. He's so nice, trustworthy, knowledgable & (most importantly) honest. read more

I needed to get a bird out of my dryer vent and make sure they could get in again. They were great, so helpful and quick in getting out.

We recently had a problem with squirrels getting in to our screened in porch by chewing holes through the screens and then attempting to build nests in the soffits. We contacted Ark Trapping and Burt came out to our home within a day. Over the course of a week three squirrels were trapped and removed by Burt. Burt was extremely responsive and certainly knew exactly what to do. read more

Burt was amazing! We had something living under our front step and he took care of it right away. Gave us some pointers to look for in advance of providing service. He was very responsive, knowledgeable and honest. Would recommend him to anyone! read more

Burt was awesome! Very professional, respectful, and knew exactly what was the problem and how to fix it. Even when his health (back pains) wasn't 100% he was committed to come and fix the problem since that's what/when he said he would do- very reliable and definitely highly recommended to anyone looking to acquire his services! read more

Did an excellent job of catching a male rat that was infesting our basement; knew just what would work!

Burt was amazing, called on a Thursday morning, came in that afternoon. Checked and explained what needs to be done. Set traps and a camera, came back Friday, on Saturday the squirrel was trapped in the attic .On Monday set new traps on the roof, on the following day fixed and sealed the point of entry. And took with him 3 more squirrels. Reasonable pricing. read more

This was the best money we EVER spent. Burt was AMAZING. He took care of our squirrel problem. They were eating through my shed. Burt was wonderful to work with. He dedicated so much time on this job. Went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him for any trapping service you may need. Thank you, Burt! read more

Bert was fantastic. He came in, inspected the issue, diagnosed the mouse problem, and then took extra time helping us understand the problem, how to fix it, how to prevent it. He was so kind, quick to respond, very polite, nice with our child and our cat. Phenomenal price, even provided some materials to us THAT DAY to help. Overall excellent service! read more

If I could give more than five stars, I would. While my wife and I were out of town for Christmas, we received a call from our pet sitter saying:"There's a squirrel under your couch!" I called several places (searching on google) without any luck on Christmas Night. I did however have a referral to Ark Trapping. I called the number and Burt answered at 9:00PM. After a few agonizing moments on what to do being four hours away, Burt was in his truck with our address in his GPS ready to go. We determined that he would not need to come right away, but his response was second to none! We had peace of mind and two phone numbers in case we needed him. Our stressful situation pressure relief valve with pending guests the next day was ready to pop, but Burt eased our decision making and our unplanned four hour drive on Christmas Night was more laughable. He told us to keep him posted and he would come out for anything we needed. Today, he came out to repair our chimney cap as well as performed an inspection to determine other possible points of entry. He gave us a fair price for his estimate, and once he began the work he realized he was able to repair rather than replace our attic fan cover, thus saving us an unnecessary expense. We are truly grateful for this unpleasant experience to be turned into something we can now laugh about. Thank you Burt for not just repairing our chimney, but giving us peace of mind while we felt helpless on Christmas night. read more

We contacted Burt to remove a family of birds that had gotten into our ducts, and he was amazing. We contacted him because the big corporate outfit that we called never got back to us, and it's a good thing they didn't. Burt worked hard to get us on his extremely busy schedule, and we couldn't be happier with how skilled, knowledgeable and professional he was. He was thorough in cleaning up after the work was done, and we are so glad that we chose to go with him instead. read more

So happy with the service provided by Bert. He removed birds' nests from my bathroom exhaust vents and put proper screen protectors over all the uncovered vents around my house. He inspected inside the attic and from the exterior. He did a great job! read more
