If you have a problem with wildlife in your Branson home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Missouri wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Missouri and Branson, and I recommend the following:

Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control
Cell Phone: 417-818-1412

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Taney County Animal Services: (417) 334-4544

Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Missouri also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 417-818-1412 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Missouri and Taney County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control is a full-service Branson wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Branson pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Branson wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Missouri to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Missouri law. We offer Branson raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Branson squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Branson exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Branson rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Missouri is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Branson pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Branson bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Branson trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Branson wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control also provides dead animal removal in Branson. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Branson snake removal - most of the snakes in Missouri are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Branson. And remember, we are a private business, not Taney County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (417) 334-4544. Taney County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Branson Wildlife Tip #1:
What do wildlife rehabilitators do with opossums?

Opossums are just like animals that will find ways to cope with the harm and danger brought by wildlife creatures. They will always find a way to survive. In this regard, wildlife rehabilators/wildlife rehabilitation companies are established in many areas. In fact, there are rehabilitation centers that can be found around and that serve the needs of these animals.

Wildlife rehabilitators offer the necessary care and treatment needed by diseased, orphaned and wounded wildlife animals. This way, animals such as opossums will become healthy and fit again. They will finally be released back to the forests or the wild.

Inspection of the Opossums

In addition to the tasks of wildlife rehabilitators, opossums also do the necessary inspection of the opossums. They check the severity and degree of the injury. They also design the right plan that promises effective rehabilitation. After determining their recovery, they will then be treated the right way possible. They will be fed and will be provided with the right medical treatment.

Proper Care of Injured and Orphaned Opossums

Wildlife rehabilitators will take good care of injured and orphaned opossums. They will be handled with great care. They will be rehabilitated completely and satisfyingly.

Prefer The Injured or Orphaned Opossum be Brought to the Rehabilitation Center

Most of wildlife rehabilitators prefer that the injured or orphaned opossum be brought to the rehabilitation center. They do not like it going and collecting them. Some of them work voluntarily. But, some are paid employees with long hours spent in accomplishing things.

Limited to Sole Species Animals

Just like other professionals, wildlife rehabilitators are limited to handling sole species of animals. They are not expert in handling various types of animals. They just focus at one thing and do the best thing possible in a given situation.

Deal with Contagious Bacteria and Infectious Fleas

One more thing that the wildlife rehabilitators are aware of is in dealing with contagious bacteria and infectious fleas. They have gone through education and training programs that will make people aware of wildlife issues or opossum issues. They are also an expert who will help you find an injured or sick opossum in the property. They will do the necessary things to save opossums from fleas or contagious bacteria.

Now, you no longer need to get in panic if ever you find an opossum around! The wildlife rehabilitators are just there for you to offer some help!

Branson Wildlife Tip #2:


Missouri Wildlife Information:

Missouri State bird: Eastern bluebird
State mammal: Missouri mule
State reptile: Three-toed box turtle
State amphibian: North American bullfrog
State fish: Channel catfish, paddlefish
State insect: European honeybee

Missouri is a state that is wetter than most people think. It was originally classified as a southern state, and eventually became grouped with the states in the Midwest. As far as Midwest states go, however, it is full of wet grasslands which gradually culminate through foothills into the Ozark Mountains. Though much of the landscape is flat, the region has a fair amount of forest. It is humid with hot summers and cold winters.

A state with such ample grasslands is bound to have a good number of large grazing animals, and Missouri definitely fits the bill. This state has white-tailed deer, elk, and American bison. The bison, which are growing in popularity for food consumption around the globe, are in both wild and semi-wild herds. Their numbers are significantly less than when they roamed the plains hundreds of years before pioneers came through.

No predators are large enough in Missouri to take down a full-sized bison, though sick adults and young calves will occasionally be prey for coyotes or mountain lions. It is rare to see a mountain lion out on the plains; in fact, it is rare to see one of the big cats at all. The species vanished from Missouri in the 1970's only to reappear in the mid 1990's. The game commission in the state does not feel there is a breeding population of the cats, and any cougar sightings are animals that have come in from other states.

Another creature that enjoys life out in the grasslands is the badger. These aggressive, intimidating animals are excellent diggers, and they live primarily off a diet of rodents found in prairie grass. The badger can be a fierce protector of its den, and people are advised to keep their distance from this critter.

There is, of course, no shortage of home invading species in Missouri. The state has an ample supply of raccoons, foxes, bats, skunks, porcupines, opossums, nutria, muskrats, and squirrels.

The wetlands in the region are home to a few animals that are slowly vanishing as the swamps dry up. The swamp rabbit is a critter found in the southern swamps of Missouri, and its numbers have been steadily declining as the wetlands get destroyed. Another species that is gradually going away is the alligator snapping turtle, a reptile that can grow to be 150 pounds.

You can always call Southwest Nuisance Wildlife Control, any time of day, at 417-818-1412, for a price quote for Branson wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Branson, MO.
