The job, told straight

A “trapper” is half the work. The other half is why it never happens again.

Hire most outfits and the trip looks the same. They show up, set a trap, take what they catch, hand you an invoice. Two months later something is back in the attic. Sometimes the same family. Often a different species moving into the same opening.

Animals do not pick your house. They pick a gap - a soffit corner that pulled loose, a roof return, a foundation vent that lost its screen, a chimney without a cap. A raccoon used it last year. A squirrel will use it this year. A bat will find it next.

We work the gap, not the animal. The trap goes in because it has to. The exclusion work - sealing the opening with the right material, in the right way, to the right code - is what keeps the next animal out for a decade.

Backed by a two-year warranty against re-entry. Not just against the same animal. Against any animal of the species coming back through what we sealed.

What we handle

Wildlife control services - every animal, every job, one phone number.

Full service list

Raccoon removal

The animal most homeowners hear at night. Strong, smart, almost always denning with babies in spring. Live-trap, hand-removal of kits when present, seal the entry behind them.

Raccoon details

Bat removal & exclusion

Indiana’s most regulated wildlife work. DNR maternity blackout May 1 to July 31. We do one-way exclusion and let the colony self-release. No trapping, no killing.

Bat details

Squirrel removal

The animal you hear running across the ceiling at 6 AM. Greys, reds, flying squirrels - all three nest in attics, all three chew wires. Live-trap and a real fix on the opening.

Squirrel details

Mole control

The yard work. Active trapping - not poison bait, which does not work on insectivores. We set lethal traps on active runs and pull moles out until your turf is quiet.

Mole details

Groundhog removal

The animal undermining your deck, your shed, or your foundation. Live-trap, then screen the burrow system so the next one cannot move in.

Groundhog details

Beaver removal

Dropped trees, flooded retention ponds, blocked culverts. We work the water - trap under DNR rules, breach dams safely, install pond-leveler devices when removal isn’t the right answer.

Beaver details

Coyote management

Conflict management - not extermination, because that’s not how coyotes work. Den exclusion, hazing plans, HOA documentation, targeted removal of habituated individuals.

Coyote details

Dead animal removal

Smell in the wall. Fly hatch in the attic. Carcass in the crawlspace. We locate, remove, decontaminate. Same-day in most cases.

Dead animal details

Animal in attic

The category every homeowner’s search starts with. We identify the species by track, scat, sound, and damage - then run the right protocol for that species.

Attic inspections

Insulation remediation

The follow-on service after wildlife is out. Contaminated insulation removed in PPE, enzymatic decon, re-insulated to R-49 code. Insurance-documented. $3,000-$6,000 typical.

Remediation details

Exclusion & animal-proofing

The work that earns the two-year warranty. Fortify the entry and every “they would have used that next” spot. Done so it looks like part of the house, not a patch.

How a job runs

Four steps. Roughly two visits for the trap, one for the seal.

No subscription. No mystery line items. The price you’re quoted is the price you pay, and you know what each visit is doing before we’re on the property.

  1. 01

    Inspection

    We walk the attic and the exterior, find the entry point and the species. You see what we’re seeing — flashlight in hand, soffit by soffit. Fixed-price quote on the spot, written, no “we’ll let you know.”

    Day 1
  2. 02

    Live trap or exclusion

    For most mammals: live-trap, daily check, relocate or humanely dispatch per Indiana law. For bats: one-way exclusion device, no trapping. Daily check — not “when we get to it.”

    Days 2–7
  3. 03

    Cleanup

    Droppings out. Contaminated insulation out where the load requires it. Soft-cap the entry temporarily while you decide on the permanent seal. We send photos before-and-after, every time.

    Day of removal
  4. 04

    Exclusion 2-yr warranty

    Heavy gauge steel, screen, sealant, paint-matched trim where it shows. Two-year warranty against re-entry through what we sealed — on paper, with a real phone number, not a portal.

Super responsive, quick, and easy. We called at 3:30pm on a Friday with an animal stuck on our dryer vent. They were able to come after-hours to help us out. We would highly recommend them; we would call again if ever in need of their services!

I had quite a few estimates for bat removal before I received Dustin’s contact info. When Dustin arrived, he did a thorough inspection. He was so detailed and had an immediate plan of action. We knew right away he was the man for the job. … He started the very next day, it was quite a process. Honesty and integrity count!

More than exceeded our expectations. Had a group of raccoons having a picnic in an attic! They left raccoon droppings. NWS removed the old insulation and hauled it away. Then, replaced with new insulation. A+ job by Dustin and his staff!

Squirrels found their way into a part of our attic we can’t reach. … Called these guys for help and they removed and relocated them (all 4 of them!) ASAP. They also fixed everything with our roof edge / fascia to ensure we won’t have any problems in the future. Dustin and his crew were pro’s, and he followed through on everything he told me he would. Very fair pricing too.

Dustin is amazing! Highly recommend him! He’s guarantees his work for 2 years, has a cute dog who rides along with him, and explains what he’s doing in an easy to understand way. His communication over the phone and text is equally excellent. Very personable and very professional.

Why The Wildlife Guys

The difference is what happens after the trap.

Every wildlife company in central Indiana traps the animal. A small number of them do real exclusion work behind it. James started the company because he kept getting called as the second opinion on the first company’s “finished” job.

One team. One standard. Every job.

James trained the crew. The same standards run every job, top to bottom. No salesperson handoff. No call center. You talk to the people doing the work.

Indiana DNR aware

Bat maternity blackout, songbird protections, federal endangered species law - we run by the book. It is why nobody’s ever had to redo our work for code reasons.

Humane by default

Live-trap, one-way exclusion, baby-and-mother reunites where possible. No poisons in attics. No gluing animals to boards. Effective and legal are not in conflict.

Repair looks original

The seal at the gable, the soffit corner, the chimney chase - finished so the seam blends. Function plus aesthetics, because you’re going to live with it.
