About
I've been in the business for over 8 years and am DNR certified. I am thorough with my inspections of the entire house. I will point out any entry points I find as well as any other issues you may have. I offer fair pricing and am willing to work with most budgets. I offer humane trapping and wildlife relocation. Communication is key, I will give you a window of when I am arriving and am easy to get ahold of via email, call or text.

We loved meeting Keith and his initial round of work was impressive! We liked his approach and he was super pet friendly & aware. We liked his clear strategy and future planning. And we signed up for year round service to be proactive against pests.

I’m very Pleased with the Service delivered by Schmelzer Family Wildlife!
Somehow a mice got into our garage. I feared there could be more we haven’t seen and I wanted immediate service. After having mice traps for like two weeks, we finally caught one, but I was too scared to get rid of it so I searched the web and found Thumnail, which was so helpful. In less than 5mins The Schmelzer responded. I was so pleased with his Professional and how he explained the entire process to me.
The cost was effective and reasonable too.
I definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for pest control or remedial services.

Keith of Schmelzer Family Wildlife Removal was prompt, knowledgeable, and thorough. He inspected our entire house and explained in detail what should be done. When he came to take care of our problem, his wife was with him to help out. Both are very respectful. I will call Keith anytime I have a pest issue.

It was a pleasure dealing with Keith. He was extremely patient and thorough. He also made an emergency trip out prior to our scheduled appointment when I called in a panic because the birds in my vent had died and the smell was over powering. I highly recommend Schmelzer Family Wildlife for animal & bird removal.

I never realized how many openings my house had for mice seeking a warm home. But Keith did, quickly closing up holes and putting down bait for the critters who had made it inside, explaining as he worked. He was professional and friendly. Nancy L. Frederick, MD
