Introduction

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.

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.

I booked Schmelzer due to a squirrel living in my attic, and he came a few days later. He advised me on several services and gave advice for the insulation that was helpful. It took only a day to capture the squirrel in the cage, and he came the same day to pick it up. My only concern is that the pricing is way above market, and I likely won’t book again for that reason.

Honest, straightforward, no BS. From start to finish, Keith was an absolute pleasure to work with. Mindful of my baby and family in using safe products in resolving our animal issue. Extremely knowledgable and thorough. A++++++++
