Lowell is great at what he does! I am a project manager and have to deal with pests on many of my projects. Lowell has now helped me on a couple of properties. He took care of the worst rat infestation I have ever seen. He knew how to handle it when other companies just wanted to put out bait. Lowell was able to make sure they weren't coming back. I also had pesky raccoons that had been making themselves at home between floors and in the crawl space on a property that had been empty for years. Lowell figured out how they were getting in and made sure they aren't coming back. He is my go-to guy for any fury pest issues. Reliable, trustworthy, and just a good guy in general. He knows what he is doing. He shows up prepared, ready to work, and gets the job done. read more

We had an odd situation...a cat somehow got stuck and expired in the engine compartment of our 2018 Honda Pilot. We tried to remove the deceased feline ourselves to no avail. We then went to the dealership and they told us to call animal control, we called animal control and they couldn't help us and told us to call an exterminator. We called around to the various ones on google and none could help us, but one gave us Lowell's number. We continued to try to remove the cat ourselves and decided to give Lowell a call because it just wouldn't budge and not to mention the horrid smell of decomposition had started to set in...eww Lowell helped us immediately and it only took him 20 minutes to remove the cat!!! Highly recommend Lowell's Wildlife Removal Services for any animal removal services you may need! I feel like there isn't anything he can't remove! 100% recommend with A+ service! He even helped remove the death smell from the compartment!! read more

After racoons destroyed my lawn, my gardener referred me to Lowell. Lowell is a true professional who knows about animals and how to control them. That was one year ago. When the racoons returned this week Lowell again gave me expert advice and the problem was controlled before I had to again pay for expensive repairs. Thank you Lowell. You are the best.

We had a possible rats and raccoon problem. Lowell did a thorough inspection for entry points, and sealed them. He spent time to answer all of my questions, and showed me how to set up rat traps in order to save us some money by not calling him back to re-set the traps. Thank you Lowell for your knowledge and professionalism. read more

I'm very pleased with the service from lowells wildlife removal, very professional, reasonable price, helpful. Did a great job.

We recently had Lowell out to assess a pigeon problem at our house. During the inspection, he was very nice and he was very thorough in doing the inspection, even taking video of the roof and problem areas for us. He provided multiple options for us and priced out everything to help us decide on which would work best for both our budget and bird problem areas. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is we ended up not having the deterrent installed just yet due to financial concerns (thanks covid). read more

My skunk odyssey began one night in early May while I was dog-sitting for my roommate. One of the dogs got sprayed by a skunk, which in and of itself is such a *super fun* experience to take care of; I just cannot begin to describe it. After cleaning up the dog, my neighbors and I found a dead skunk in the yard. Skunk problem solved, or so I thought. Several days later, the dog came charging into the house, smelling like skunk again. After some investigation, we found that another skunk had wrangled with the dog and lost the struggle. 4 baths and many curse words later, I got the word from my vacationing roommate to find a skunk exterminator. Now, as much of a pain as the skunk cleanup was, I was not up for the idea of killing the skunks. I just wanted them to BE GONE. Like, to the cornfield or something. Thankfully, we found Lowell's service, which involves removal and relocation of animals. After reading his excellently informative website, which describes what an expensive nuisance skunks can be, (like digging and destroying pipes for fun!) my roommate and I were convinced that Lowell, a state licensed Wildlife Trapper, could get the job done. Now, I don't know what you picture when you hear the title "Wildlife Trapper" but I sort of had a vision of someone showing up wearing a Daniel Boone hat, chewing tobacco and riding a Palomino. Sorry for the stereotyping, but it's not often one gets to hire a Wildlife Trapper. After a brief consultation over the phone, Lowell made an appointment with me and showed up on time, professionally dressed, (sans the horse, my only disappointment), and got right to inspecting our property. He explained that because this was the time of year that skunks have babies, it was most likely that an entire family of skunks was living somewhere on our property. He determined that the most likely location was under a shed in our side yard. Lowell set 3 traps and demonstrated how I could re-set them if something other than a skunk happened to wander into them. I was a little nervous thinking what might be in the traps that first morning I checked them on them, (an angry badger?!) but low and behold we caught a skunk right away. And another 3 the day after that. And even more 1 more. Lowell's trapping system was very effective. And, I have to admit, the process was exciting. I found myself giving people at work the Skunk Update whether they wanted to hear it or not. "Three today, Larry!" Stick that in your pocket protector!" I did find a huge black crow in one of the traps, but thanks to the instruction that Lowell had given I was able to set it free, without injuring the bird. Lowell was extremely responsive in picking up the little guys, as I fondly called them once they were safely nestled in the bed of his truck. He relocated them,very fast. We ended up catching 5 total, (count 'em!) and since then no new critters have taken up residence on the property. Lowell went the extra mile and explained in detail how we needed to take care of the crawl space and holes that were under our shed. Apparently areas like ours are real hot spot for skunks, and once they get in, they mark it so that other skunks passing by can get a whiff and say "Hey, we can party here, too." And if you think it only happens out in the foothills or the country, guess again. Skunks will get in no matter where you live. So, even if you don't have skunks today, you could later on. It's worth it to hire Lowell to do the exclusion work and have it done professionally. In conclusion, I highly recommend Lowell, the Wildlife Trapper and his Wildlife Removal services. He's the real dude. You won't be disappointed, and you might have some great stories to tell around the water cooler. read more

Late 2015 we became concerned about a pair of squirrels using our slightly older shingle roof as a launchpad and catwalk, and found that a screen normally covering our chimney had become dilapidated and partially dislodged. Fearful that the pair might have or eventually get access to our attic and crawlspace, we phoned local animal control who recommended that we hire a professional trapper or wildlife removal service. Very good reviews and an informative website prompted us to call Lowell, who explained how he'd ideally like to tackle the squirrel issue, how he'd assess the roof both for damage and possible rodent-sized entryways, what types of trapping and exclusion he used, and what our options would be if he found a nest or infestation. We were very adamant that the squirrels not be harmed and, because of issues with the infrastructure our attic, a bit leery about having someone entering it. He understood and was willing to accommodate us on both counts. He was also very flexible about scheduling around weather, allowed us to select the specific time and day for an appointment, asked us about our preferred method of contact (text messaging), checked in with us roughly 3 hours before the appointment, and arrived promptly. The work -- an assessment inside the house and on the roof and perimeter of the property, as well as placement and installation of galvanized screening in some vulnerable areas -- was similarly outstanding. He was extremely thorough about finding any flaws in the roof and eaves that an animal might take advantage of, and in addition to screening the chimney and some plumbing vent pipes, discovered an error in the roof flashing that inadvertently created a triangular hole that would allow an animal direct access to the attic. This was also secured with screening and an application of waterproof sealant. The work was very clean, very methodical. He documented everything he found, recommended specific solutions and let us examine the screening materials if we wanted prior to starting any work, and provided us with images of the work in progress and after being completed. In general, it was definitely one of the best service calls we've made. You're never exactly overjoyed to have to have non-elective work done on your house, but Lowell made it a very simple, very easy process and was happy to let us talk his ear off with questions. He reassured us (and proved, with photographs and a thorough demonstration) that the roof and attic are pest-free and will remain so, and that gives us great peace of mind. read more

Look no further folks!!! I've been dealing with rat issues in the attic at my property for over ten years. I'd finally had enough and willing to admit that I needed a true professional. After reading some yelp reviews I came across his business and left him a quick message. Within 20 minutes he gave me a call to hear more about my problem. He is attentive and willing to answer all of my questions...a true professional and a wealth of knowledge. Had him out to the house (showed up early) and after a very thorough inspection and after climbing up on my roof he was able to identify where they are getting in. He did a fantastic job creating a custom barrier to block the entrance and set a few traps in the attic. Very reasonable on price as well. We're gonna give this a shot and if for some reason I'm able to identify any other issues he'll be the only one I call back out. Pick up the phone and give him a call. Thank you Lowell!! read more

Lowell took a detailed history of our problem, asking pertinent questions and following up with further questioning until he had a working hypothesis of our problem. Then, he did a detailed examination of the problem area and surrounding areas to firm up his diagnosis. Finally, he did a very reasonable job of solving the problem. As a physician, I really appreciated his meticulous, detailed, and thorough approach. He made an effort to understand our particular problem and the circumstances of it, rather than just a superficial approach. I highly recommend Lowell for wildlife problems around your home. read more

You know how the universe knows you need a break so they send someone great your way to make things right?! I am so grateful that I found Lowell on yelp! Long story short, I ended up getting exclusion work done by Terminex who told me they cleared my crawl space before sealing the perimeter of my home. The very same night I hear scratching and hissing under my house and when I called the big T back they said were too busy and couldn't make it for 2-3 business days, which was totally unacceptable. After reading all of the 5 star reviews on Lowell's page, I decided to give him a call and he showed up within the hour. He set a trap in front of my crawl space and caught a large possum that night. He also double checked the previous exclusion work that was completed, even fixing things the other company missed and didn't charge me extra out of the goodness of his heart. He's extremely knowledgeable, personable, professional, upfront with pricing and always on time. If you need wildlife removed, definitely give Lowell a call!!! read more

Lowell was so great. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and reasonable. We moved into an older home with rat droppings in our attic. I received a quote from another company to block the entry points for rats in the attic for $800. Lowell came out, assessed the house and attic, made his recommendations, and charged $300 total. I am so glad I called him! read more

You will not find a nicer or more knowledgeable person than Lowell. I have had Lowell come out to both of my houses over the past few years to remove skunks. And every time he trapped one or more. I recommended him to my neighbor and he trapped five skunks that had been fighting and sprayed underneath her house. If you have a wildlife problem, he will resolve it. Don't waste your time and money on an exterminator service like my other neighbor did. Lowell's prices are reasonable and the service is fantastic. read more

Lowell has offered the finest customer service of any businessperson we've dealt with. We are renting a house and heard critters in the attic. Lowell worked with our schedule, offered an appointment promptly, and arrived on time. Then he listened to our experience, conducted a thorough inspection, and set to work on the problem immediately. Throughout the process, I asked him (many! detailed!) questions, and he answered patiently and thoroughly. It turned out we had a serious rat problem--the animals had likely been making their home in the attic for years, long before we moved in. Lowell meticulously sealed off their entry points, and gave us clear recommendations about how to reduce the attractiveness of the attic to rats. He described the entire situation (including roof-construction issues), allowing us to communicate with the property owner in a way that prompted action. Lowell also sent a series of photographs of the rat damage and the work he did to remedy it. Lowell is trustworthy--he does what he says he's going to. His prices are extremely reasonable, even more so, given the quality of his work and advice. He has extensive knowledge of animals, pest control, and construction, so is able to understand and describe pest situations, even to a novice. He also knows how to work with people. He turned this extremely unpleasant situation into a good customer-service experience. Thank you, Lowell! read more

Like most other reviewers here, I can't recommend Lowell enough. He was timely, friendly, efficient, meticulous, and generous. I contacted him about a rat problem after reaching out to three other companies, two of which actually performed "inspections." Lowell spent nearly an hour checking every nook on my home - the other companies spent five minutes tops before asking for huge sums of money upfront ($700 and $950). A company that I only spoke to on the phone teased a price of around $600. Lowell charged a fraction of that and started his work immediately. (I'm sure that he is forced to charge more in other situations - my point is that he is fair and much cheaper than his competitors). Before I ever even hired Lowell, he spoke with me on the phone after business hours for a good fifteen or twenty minutes, taking time to answer every question I had. I'm scared of rats, and Lowell's answers gave me some peace of mind - and he didn't use my fear to try to sell me $5000 worth of new insulation (like one of the other companies). My problem was solved within 48 hours of Lowell's visit. Every entrance to my house is now sealed, so the solution is a permanent one. Lowell seems to be pretty popular, so he might not get to your home on the day you first call - but wait it out! He's popular for a reason. Don't waste your time and money on companies that specialize in speed. Wait for Lowell and let him do the job correctly. read more

I'm so glad I called Lowells. I was referred to him by my pest control company (R&D Pest Control). I had discovered that I had squirrels living in my second story attic. Lowell came out, set up traps in the eaves at the point of entry (the screened vents). When he was sure that there weren't any critters in the attic he came back and rescreened all of the vents both upstairs and downstairs, also removing the bird's nests that had been built in the downstair's attic. He did a great, clean job and now I'm confident my attics won't be a home for wildlife again. read more

We had a snake entered our house, and slid into closet. Even worse there was an entry from the closet to the under space beneath our bathtub, and the snake hid under the bathtub. I found Lowells on Yelp and called him. He explained to me how he would charge for his service clearly. He came and the snake hid under the bathtub. He went to buy glue pad to trap the snake. When he came back, he tried again and he got the snake. Wow! Everyone was happy! But he went beyond that. Lowells taped the subpanel to make the entry smaller and left glue pads next to it. This was for the small possibility that there were more than one snakes hiding under bathtub. Very thoughtful! I recommend Lowells to anyone who needs help with wildlife removal! read more

Lowell is the real deal. Calm, cool, and collected!!! He's a problem solver and analytical genius. Lowell gets to the bottom of what's going on...then provides the solution. He's your man for dealing with critters. read more

Where can I start! We had hired our local pest control guy to help get rid of skunks around and under our house. They had used two traps to get the skunks, but never caught them. The skunks keep on getting under my house and spraying! After the 5th time spraying and smelling up my house in 3 months, I had to change services, Then I found Lowell. he was professional and always returned my called within the same day and alway was available for me. He was able to seal up the house and found TWO more spots the skunks were getting under and in there! the other guys didn't find that. Also he looked at all the fur that was brushed against the house and vents, and siding and told me which animals were coming in and going, we had possums also! In a very short amount of time, he caught TWO skunks and relocated them safely and also completely sealed up our house! Thank you!! read more

We had an opossum problem under our storage shed. We dont know how long it's been there, it was this week that our dogs started going crazy and digging to get to the opossum. We called a few Wildlife removal services, and all have been unprofessional..especially when it comes to pricing. They like to dance around the price and try to be vague about it. We heard a lot of IF's BUT's from other company. We're glad to find Lowell's in Yelp. He was unable to help initially because he was fully booked. But, he took the time to explain and encourage me and see if I can catch the opossum myself. The night went by and I was unsuccessful catching the opossum. The following morning, Lowell was able to stop by our home and provide the needed assistance. However, the opossum was already gone. I have two traps with apples and carrots. Lowell gave me his own bait free of charge. He showed up and assessed the situation and said he was not going to charge me. At this time of age, it is difficult to find honest, dependable, and professional just like Lowell. We are thankful for Lowell for being courteous and professional during our ordeal with the opossum. Needless to say, if we ever had a critter problem again (knock on wood), I'll definitely call Lowell again. Thank you, sir! read more

Lowell got rid of a dead, stinking skunk under our house and closed off all the entrances to animals. He was amazing. Thinks of everything. Only leaving until we were completely satisfied. Thank you, Lowell. read more

This guy is an EXPERT in this field. I tried another service to remove a Skunk problem. They didnt work. Only caught cats. So I found Lowell Wildlife Removal. He showed up on time. He set up his equipment. Sure enough the following morning the Skunk that set up camp under our shed was in the trap. He is very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and is an expert in what he does. Definitely would refer him to anyone. Great job! read more

I called lowells to help with a dead creature somewhere under my front porch, instead of him coming out and charging me, he just explained what I would be able to do to take care of the problem. I will not only call him again if I ever need it but I will recommend him to everyone in the area. read more

I am a Pastor in the city of Perris, and just recently had a terrible smell that permeated the entirety sanctuary, fellowship hall and children's classes. I called Lowells and he returned my call promptly, came quickly. Lowell went into the crawl space and was able to identify the carcass of a large dog. He did above and beyond in removing the animals remains and cleaning the effected area. He was on time, professional, courteous, and did what even the city pest control would not do. He was reasonably priced and will be my go-to guy for any pest control issue going forward! read more

If you read through previous Yelp reviews for Lowell's Wildlife Removal, they pretty much sum up my experience. Lowell is patient, professional, and thorough in every way. There were unexplained noises coming from my attic or wall, I really couldn't tell where because of the way the sound traveled. I had previously heard birds around the chimney area, but recently I thought the noises sounded different. Lowell carefully tried to assess the situation from my own report, but an inspection was necessary. He took his time examining the entire roof area, and during his attic inspection carefully inspected every nook and cranny to find areas where there might be signs of animals, or access to animals. He photographed the major findings to show me. He located a very stubborn pigeon nesting in one area of the roof, and he recreated the noise (as he tried to shoo it off) while I listened inside the house. The sound was similar to what I had been hearing, so he gently removed the pigeon and blocked off the area with a heavy-duty steel mesh to prevent future access. That pigeon is still trying to get back inside as I type this. Because of other wildlife that has been known to take up residency in area homes, Lowell carefully explained what we could do around the outside of the house to ensure we don't have future problems with other critters, in addition to the pigeons. He also offered to come back when my husband is home to reexplain if necessary, and show him how to do it as well. And, of course, we could decide to have Lowell do the work. The price I paid today was extremely fair for the high quality work he provided. I highly recommend Lowells Wildlife Removal, and feel fortunate such a business exists in this area! We will certainly call him back if we have any other wildlife issues in the future! read more

Lowell is the BEST! Called him on Wednesday about a raccoon and her babies in our attic, he was out of town but gave us a suggestion to encourage them to leave the attic and by Friday when Lowell arrived, the Raccoon and her babies were gone! He then found 5, yes 5 points of entry to our attic which he secured to prevent further entry from any type of animals. He thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the animals potty area removing all traces of our furry unwanted guests. We highly recommend Lowell. He is very thorough and checked every nook in our attic. Don't waste your time or money on anyone else. He showed up on time and was a pleasure to work with. If we ever need to have animals removed I will not hesitate to call Lowell again! High quality service with affordable pricing; what else can I say?? =) read more

LWR is the best!!! I called him after smelling a what appeared to be a dead animal and signs they were possibly under my covered patio furniture. Although I didn't see the dead animal I knew something was there but was to scared to look. In speaking to Lowell, he was very responsive to my concern even though my information was limited. In an honest form, Lowell suggested I contact the city as they would not charge me for their services. After consideration I decided to stick with Lowell and glad I did. When he showed up he was extremely pleasant and professional. He confirmed my suspicion and did a wonderful job dealing with the issue. More so he ensured there was no signs of the dead marsupial and took the time out to give me advice on preventing it from happening again. For these type of needs LWR is your guy. He is awesome!!! Thanks again. read more

Lowell is a true professional! He goes above and beyond! His pricing is very fair too. Call him now. You won't regret it!

My husband Neville, called the owner, Lowell Miller and he was a very pleasant man. Helped us to find a humane way to rid our Palm trees of a family of Raccoons. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. He offered to walk my husband through the whole process. Delightful Man!! read more

We used Lowell to get our (dead) cat "Choochermoo" :,( from under our house. Lowell was very nice, professional, on-time, reasonably priced, and thorough in his work. Very nice man. Would highly recommend. read more

I called Lowell Saturday morning who patiently went over all the details of my raccoon attic invasion. Entry point, noises heard, time of activity, etc and determined that it was likely a female raccoon nesting with her young. Because of my distance from Lowell (40 miles), he suggested a few measures that may convince our new mother to move on her own. While he was happy to come out, we both decided that giving it a shot, with him coming out as the backup plan was the way to go. He gave me a series of specific tasks, all designed to let the raccoon know that we where aware of her and that this was not the warm welcoming location she thought it was. He also cautioned me that she may be stubborn and take a couple days to move on her own. We followed his advice to a T and that very evening she had enough. We watched her move out in a very panicked fashion, grabbing the babies one at a time and ushering them out of the attic. His advice and professionalism was greatly appreciated. I had come to believe customer service was a dead art. He has my business going forward, as well as my recommendation. Top notch, knowledgeable, professional and honest. He could have easily gotten money out of me- I was desperate! Thanks Lowell!! read more

We had a racoon problem tearing up our lawns and landscaping. Called Lowell's and problem was taken care of in a very timely manner. He is also very easy to work with. read more

This review is long overdue... So we had a rat problem in our for a few months. We tried it all...rat poison and homemade poison, but no success. So I found Lowell on Yelp and called him in late January. From the moment we first spoke he was courteous, knowledgeable and attentive. He came to my home on a Saturday morning. I explained the problem to him and did a thorough inspection of my home he informed us that he first had to close up all access points and then put rats traps. He placed screens in our garage and like 5 large traps in the kitchen, garage, attic and laundry room. And problem solved!!!! 1 hr later the first rat was killed and the next day the 2nd one. This is the best $200 spent for our peace of mind. Lowell really know what he's doing! Another thing that speaks to his professionalism is that he texted me once a week to ask for updates and he would always answer all my questions as well. If you have a rat problem, call Lowell. You'll thank me later! read more

In March 2014 our attic was invaded by squirrels. I received a referral to Lowell's Wildlife Removal from a pest control provider I used in the past who did not provide removal services for large rodents. Lowell provides a superior service: responsive, prompt, professional and fair. The service fee includes photos of the issue, points of intrusion and corrective work completed. It was very easy to understand what is going on, how the problem was going to be resolved and see the actual solution implemented. I trust the squirrels will stay out from now on. But if we are ever in need for wildlife removal services in the future, Lowell is our guy! read more

Used Lowell to deal with a skunk situation at my office. He was great and worked around my office hours and needs. Would use Lowell again!

I live in Banning in a residential area with lots of interesting critters that visit in the neighborhood - opossum, raccoons, and feral cats. Unfortunately, some type of animal decided to crawl under my home and die, creating a HORRIBLE odor, and no one looking in the crawl space could seem to locate the source of the smell. Animal control was called and couldn't help me and suggested I call an exterminator. The companies I called couldn't help me, but one company recommended Lowell's Wildlife Removal. I called and left a desperate message and Lowell returned my call and an appointment for the next day was made. Lowell arrived when he said he would be here, suited up and started crawling around in the very tight crawl space under my house, located the source of the smell and discovered that an adult raccoon had made its way into some ancient (and non-functional) ductwork in the crawl space under my older home and died. This certainly wasn't an easy job, but Lowell got the job done, closed up the access points, sprayed the area with a special solution to get rid of the smell and hauled away the stinky corpse in its ductwork coffin. His charges were certainly reasonable, too! I am so very grateful to be rid of the AWFUL stench. If I have any critter problems in the future, I know who I'm going to call! Can't say enough good things about Lowell Miller and his service, Lowell's Wildlife Removal! read more

We live in Claremont near the hills. A squirrel had fallen into our attic but we had no idea what was causing the ruckus. Raccoon? Possum? Rat? Animal control could only loan us traps and I'd already paid for (and fired) a pest control guy who wanted to set traps and shoot any wild animal he spied with a pellet gun. Luckily I found Lowell. He came out right away, crawled into every nook and cranny of our attic, and tiptoed all over our tile roof. He found a small opening in a vent that the poor squirrel had fallen into. After the squirrel got out, he sealed the vent. His fee was very reasonable and he was a pleasure to work with. I can't say enough good things about Lowell and his humane way of treating wild animals. read more
