In February I was back in Iowa to visit my folks in rural Johnson County, and I told my mom that I…read moreneeded to get some stuff that I had stored away in the attic. Don't go in there, she said, because there was a lot of animal droppings that needed to be cleaned up. Say wut? Some creature has been using your attic as a latrine and you haven't done anything about it? I donned some protective gear (a.k.a. old clothes and a dust mask) and went to investigate. Yup, there's a lot of turds in there. I suspected bats because we've had them in there before, and I noticed that the screen covering the attic vent had a hole in it. What to do now? We needed an exterminator, but I didn't know how to find one. I posted an inquiry to my local friends on Facebook but got no responses. So, I did something completely OG: I picked up the Yellow Pages and let my fingers do the walking. I had to call a couple places before landing on Catch 'em Critters - the other ones didn't do bats. Lucky for us, they had a job nearby that day, and somebody would be able to come by. The fella shows up and I take him into the attic, and he's says yep, you got bats. He set about to inspect the entire house and identified multiple potential points of entry, and then gave me a quote to plug them all up, plus a one-way bat valve to allow any hibernating bats to humanely exit our attic once the spring thaw came. I agreed to the service and he set about his business, finishing it pretty quickly that day. A few months later he came back to remove the bat valve. My folks then engaged their services to humanely remove a few moles that were wreaking havoc in their yard. Overall, we got great and friendly service and our problems were solved promptly. Highly recommended for all your unwanted critter needs.

Initial conversation was great. We got a quote quickly and a time frame was communicated. As we got…read morecloser to having the work done on our home we needed to be the ones to communicate and remind. Very nice and very professional, but they seemed to be stretched thin and the communication was spotty. There were a few fix ups that was agreed upon and never done, which was very upsetting because of the price I paid. When I reached out to see about finalizing those fixes, I got no response and was ghosted. HOWEVER - the bat issue seems to be fixed. Never did get a follow up if everything looked good.

My name is Tony. I called Dave Scifres of Peoria Wildlife Animal Control this past Tuesday, April…read more20, about the skunk who had taken residence under my Deck. He did a good job of informing me and my wife of the trapping process, and reassured us that he had years of experience and had the proper credentials and certification to capture and remove the Skunk. The week before, the skunk had sprayed under the deck and the odor permeated the entire house, UGGH, so we were highly motivated to take care of this problem. And I informed my wife, I definitely wasn't planning to catch the skunk by myself. Dave promised to come by at 3 pm on Wednesday, and true to his word, he showed up, and meticulously set up three traps at the possible access points, digging holes slightly deeper at the three suspected access holes to accommodate the traps, and blocking off the holes so that the skunk would have no other choice but to enter or exit thru the traps. Thursday morning, my wife texted me at work, and excitedly told me that the traps caught not one, but THREE skunks, all female, and all pregnant! I texted the good news to Dave, and he texted back that he would come over at noon that day to remove the animals. He informed my wife that if these skunks had given birth, the average litter size is 4 babies. Think of that, if we had not hired Dave when we did, and delayed calling him, we most likely would be dealing with not three skunks, but FIFTEEN skunks under our deck. If you are dealing with a skunk problem, I encourage you to call the professional, Dave, his fees are reasonable, and he will take care of your problem once and for all!

They seem to be out of business. Their 779 number doesn't go through, and the secondary number is…read morea voicemail that is not responded to. Don't bother. They came out to our home in July 2018 for a vole infestation at our newly-purchased home, but didn't really do anything but confirm what was causing the damage and suggested we wait until after winter to do anything, because "it's an expensive hassle", and maybe they'd freeze to death. Thankfully, they did, but it took 2 years to repair the damage, and we paid a $250 consultation fee for nothing. Tim was recommended to us by someone who'd had great results from him in the past, but maybe he was getting burned-out by the time we called. I was optimistic enough to try calling again in 2026 for a groundhog removal, and that's when I ran into the issue of no calls being returned and the non-working secondary number.
