They installed a one way door so the parrots can leave on their own terms. We had difficulty renting a lift through different rental company which delayed the process. Once we arranged the lift for their use they completed the job on time. read more

Norcal Wildlife Removal - Pest Control Near Me

As soon as we called to have deer removed from our backyard Josh was most accommodating!! He took care of us right away and had Jorge , his service man , arrive at our house by noon!!! Jorge was exactly what we needed. Calm, accommodating, very knowledgeable of the situation and explained mountain lions behavior. He removed everything in sight and sprayed disinfectant everywhere where the body parts were. Greatest service we've had in years. Will definitely call them again!!! You're the BEST!!! read more

Great group of people and very fairly priced! Immediately came out the following day and got straight to business. Much appreciated.

Most excellent, prompt, and affordable service! Norcal Wildlife Removal removed the remains of a raccoon latrine from my roof the day after I called, and did the job for $375 -- including a travel surcharge of $75 from San Jose to my home in Oakland. Contrast that with a quote of $800 from All N One Pest Eliminators-- and the quote came almost a week after I requested the estimate! -- or that Mighty Men charges a minimum of $400 and doesn't even have a vacuum for final cleanup! Go with Norcal Wildlife Removal! Don't get snookered! read more

Very prompt and responsive service! I called them after I spotted some broken up deck planks in the backyard and they came that morning to set the trap. Very thorough investigation of the area led the them to believe we had a racoon looking to move in. A few days later we had one in the cage and they came by that afternoon to pick up the lil critter and clean up. I highly recommend these guys, they know what they're doing! read more

It took two visits but I really appreciate that they quoted quickly via Yelp and it was a fair price. The techs were professional and friendly. I would definitely hit them up first if I had burrowing creatures making mounds again. read more

Norcal Wildlife Removal - Skunk removal trap - Pest Control Near Me

Called them late in the day to remove an animal from our chimney. By the time they arrived first thing the next day Jorge confirmed that the animal had removed itself. Jorge installed a chimney cap to prevent future visitors. Fast, friendly, and efficient. read more

friendly team who came quickly to find a dead rat under our house. as my parents get older they're no longer able to climb under and find the critter so i was very happy to have found this company who had next day availability to be able to get this smell out. they even took a look around under for any more critters and pointed out a problem that we would have never known about as we aren't in the crawl space that had nothing to do with their services for us to look into before it became a bigger problem. that in it of itself was incredibly kind of them. will definitely use again in the future for dead animal removal and more if the need arises. thank you! read more

NorCal Wildlife Removal did a great job of helping us with an opposum that had crawled under our shed and passed. It was late in the day when we called and they sent their technician quickly, within a couple of hours of our call. He was kind, knowledgeable and worked efficiently. He also explained other services that may be helpful for us. The cost for the job done was extremely reasonable. Thank you NorCal Wildlife Removal. read more

I called in the morning to remove a dead animal on my property; fortunately, a technician was in the area and my problem was solved in less than two hours. Very professional and in this case extremely quick. read more

Had NorCal out 2x and still have gophers or moles in my yard. Issue with NorCal is they charge you every time they come out even if they don't address the problem you are paying them to address. After doing it twice will take my business elsewhere rather than paying a 3rd time for the possibility of them getting rid of the rodents digging through my yard. read more

They have great customer service. Josh, Max and Jorge are all great trappers and very laid back. They know their trade well! Originally hired them to catch a bat and then later ground squirrels that was tearing up my landscape! Just know the animal removal is expensive so be prepared to do it yourself after learning the trade! So you know, as a private trapper DIY, you need a permit to relocate but you don't need it to trap and euthanize them according to CDFW (California Dept of Fish and Wildlife). read more

Norcal Wildlife Removal - Ground squirrels! - Pest Control Near Me

NorCal did a great job addressing the squirrel issue. They were able to access the nook on our roof that was 3 floors up (I live in a townhome) easily and set up the appropriate netting, preventing squirrels from camping out on our roof. Bill was super friendly and professional -- he set up the tall ladder himself, inspected the area, and installed the mesh net with no issues at all. Would highly recommend! read more

This company used to be pretty good, and we used them to catch some animals that were damaging our yard. Unfortunately, as of summer 2025, they seem to have fallen on hard times, so they no longer show up, answer calls or messages, or refill traps. Not only that but they took away my own personal animal trap (thinking it was their own? or they needed one?). But since I can't get in touch with them anymore, it's as good as gone. read more

The team at NorCal Wildlife is absolutely epic. I cannot say enough good things about the can-do, proactive nature of the team that works there. After being turned down by several other wildlife services who weren't willing to even attempt my job, I was so heartened by the willingness of NorCal Wildlife to face even the trickiest of circumstances without giving up. Josh came out to inspect my attic after many months of hearing squirrels scratching around and finding evidence of squirrel droppings on my attic insulation. Josh took the time during his first visit to explore all the corners of the attic that he could. He was able to identify an area of the attic that several other contractors were unable to find, hidden in a far corner of my attic, under an HVAC duct, and through a narrow corridor (2ft by 2ft). With the help of security cameras that Josh helped me place in the attic, we were able to find the human-inaccessible entry point that numerous squirrels continued to break through. We laid a trap, caught a squirrel, and Josh managed to squeeze back there and find several potential openings, which he patched with wire mesh. Bill then helped us with some roof work that was necessary to create a further barrier on the roof, to act as a secondary buffer to keep the persistent squirrels out. Over the course of several visits, the team successfully blocked the squirrels from breaking into my home. I cannot thank them enough for helping to restore my sanity! (Hearing squirrels scratching above you at all hours of the night was unsettling to say the least.) A few of my neighbors and friends have been having similar trouble with squirrels and other rodents on their properties, and I've referred them to NorCal Wildlife. They're the group for the job! read more

Very professional. Arrived as soon as possible to deal with snake problem. Will definitely use again if a similar need arises.

Awesome!! Max came right out ,got the snake hiding under some 2x4's and ply wood . Nice guy too! read more

I love Chad and his guys! They are helping rid my property of a numerous raccoons living under my house. They are courteous and efficient! I would recommend Norcal to anyone! Very professional! read more

When I first called, they responded immediately and sent Max (the technician) to check out attic for a rat we were hearing. He checked the entire house entry points and fixed multiple vent grills, and set traps in the attic. He returned in two weeks to check and refresh the traps. Two weeks later the rat was caught and removed by Max. Couldn't have had a nicer and more thorough person to work with. All responses were the same day, great job NorCal !! read more

Amazing and quick service! We had a dead, stray cat show up on our patio and NorCal Wildlife was quick and efficient to remove it. It was a Sunday, too. They disinfected the area after also. Thank you! read more

Based on pricing for rodent prevention (blockade around 75 ft perimeter of deck). Comparatively your pricing was on the very very high end. I talked to about five different companies for this service and this was my findings. The 3.5k you quoted was out of my price range. The gentleman who stopped by was informative. Thank you read more

Jorge came out once - placed traps in crawl space - did tell me roof had holes, but he missed holes in heater room where rat was getting in my daughter's room - then no-showed for second visit. have emailed and called four times but still no response-- frustrating!! read more

This is an update in response to the business owner's comment on my review. I'm not sure how hard it would be for someone to admit a mistake? I myself is a small business owner and every time my customer make a claim, my first reaction is always to check if I made a mistake, instead of accusing the customer of something, never. The whole time I was dealing with Norcal Wildlife Removal, I can feel that they don't really want to admit to mistakes; instead, they come up with excuses and accuse customer of wrong-doings. So from my point of view, they are just trying to cover up one mistake with another, which makes the whole thing from bad to worse. I understand their line of integrity, but I don't want to be called a liar either so let's dig deeper. Here's what Chad said: "We quote the job ahead of time, so still not clear as to how we started the job if we were not in agreement.". As I mentioned in my review, as well as in several msg's sent to Nocal during the disucssion, we never received a quote and we never even discussed starting a job. If it's "not clear", find it out! Is there a text msg with a quote or even a smallest hint of a job to be started? Is there an email? Is there a Yelp msg? None. I don't know how much clearer you need? Here is another quote: "When the tech got to the property to install the traps, he called you multiple times to discuss the job but you wouldn't answer. I then texted you a week a later and our correspondence started". I assume you know that the telephone companies have record of every phone call right? Please show me the record of the tech calling my numbers at the day of inspection. I was expecting a call from Norcal so I kept my phone handy pretty much the whole day. I do have record of me sending text message to Norcal after the scheduled time asking whether they have stopped by and completed the inspection. And how long did I wait to get a response to that text message? 7 days. Chad sounded like I ignored their communication and they started the correspondence - very funny way twisting the truth. Next quote: "Now, maybe you should discuss this with your tenant if they were holding you accountable for spending without your consent." Of course I discussed with our tenant. I told them Norcal was supposed to stop by for an inspection and asked them to give access. Maybe Norcal was expecting me to warn my tenants that a tech might be doing something never discussed so please stop him? You've got to be kidding me. To me, this is a very clear case. Norcal forgot to inform me there's an upfront inspection fee. The tech forgot to call me (or called a wrong number?) The tech assumed we had an agreement to start a job so he set a trap. Norcal was busy so my messages fell through the cracks. People make mistakes. Everyone does. Just admit it and tell your customers this would not happen again. How hard would that be? And when you made mistakes and caused aftereffects (the non-stop bill), fix it and apologize! Don't try to cover it up again. read more

We live in a community where there are lots of squirrels. After hearing loud noise in our furnace closet, our HOA called Norcal Wildlife Removal for help. Joshua Verwolf showed up, he quickly identified it was actually a rat problem. He went in our attic, identified and sealed the entry point, set traps to catch rat, and sealed the entry area from attic to furnace closet completely. I found Joshua to be very experienced and effective solving the problem. I gave our office very positive feedback about Joshua and his company. I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone who needs professional pest control service. read more

Mouse infestation. 2 visits, $500.00, mice not caught. I cannot reccomend this company.

Easy to get hold off and helped get a raccoon and a skunk off of my property within couple of weeks!

They came out the same day and kept me updated on their arrival time. Super attentive and professional. Josh was awesome--he crawled into a very tight space, tried multiple entry points, and figured out how to solve the problem. I spoke with the receptionist, the owner, and Josh, and every one of them was five stars! read more

I have a boulder retaining wall, and a "gopher" was creating havoc, and compromising the wall. They work fast, and furious (the gophers!). I called Norcal and they were able to squeeze me in the same day! The technicians arrived as promised and they were able to mitigate the problem asap. They were very thorough, explained everything including their methodology, and worked on the problem right away. The pricing was inline with other vendors price structure! Their service team was outstanding! I definitely recommend this company! read more

Max cane same day as I called for help and removed a dead squirrel from underneath the house plus fixed a screen where it entered the crawlspace. Cost was $375. I was glad to have the stinking thing removed. Very satisfied customer. read more

Norcal Wildlife Removal was great! They were able to schedule an appointment within a day of me contacting them. Daniel came out and helped identify multiple vents in our crawl space that needed repair to prevent animals from getting in and was extremely thorough. We had one very big area that needed to be patched up that he had to spend a lot of time on and several standard vents that he worked on as well. Throughout it all, he was friendly and professional and we're really happy with the work he did. read more

Great service. We discovered a decaying small animal in our garage and needed the carcass removed and the area sanitized. Chad, the owner, responded immediately to my request, and they arrived within 3 hours of my initial outreach. Polite, professional, knowledgeable and effective! read more

I called them to help with a possible gopher at a rental. The tenant reported grass being pulled up and dirt piles. They were not super easy to get ahold of but once we connected, they were fast. Charged me $300 to put a gas cartridge in the gopher hole. A few days later, grass pulled again. I called again, they went out and told the tenant it isn't gophers but probably skunks and said a trap could be left. The tenant told them to call me to make that decision. The guy left and didn't call me to see what I wanted done. It's been 24 hours and NO phone call even after I called and asked them to call me. I am curious how they put a cartridge in a gopher tunnel if it was a skunk that dug a hole. I am less than impressed with the returning of phone calls and for nobody calling me, the home owner, to update me and ask what I wanted done. Disappointing. read more

These folks were wonderful and so very helpful when a bat decided to come for an indoor visit. He flew around for quite awhile, then finally found a cozy spot to take a nap. I was afraid he was going to hurt himself trying to get out through the living room window. He banged into the glass a couple of times. When the rescuer arrived, the little guy was still napping. He was put into a small crate and would be examined to ensure he was healthy and not injured. We appreciate services like this that help when we're at a loss as to what to do. read more
