If you have a problem with wildlife in your Clinton 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 Clinton, and I recommend the following:

TruTech Wildlife Service
Cell Phone: 816-912-0296

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Henry County Animal Services: (660) 885-7999

TruTech Wildlife Service 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 TruTech Wildlife Service 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 816-912-0296 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 2024.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Missouri and Henry 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



TruTech Wildlife Service is a full-service Clinton wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Clinton pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. TruTech Wildlife Service 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.

Clinton 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 Clinton raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at TruTech Wildlife Service. 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 Clinton 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 Clinton 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 Clinton 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 Clinton pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Clinton 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 Clinton trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Clinton 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. TruTech Wildlife Service does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by TruTech Wildlife Service. 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. TruTech Wildlife Service also provides dead animal removal in Clinton. 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 Clinton 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 Clinton. And remember, we are a private business, not Henry County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (660) 885-7999. Henry County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Clinton Wildlife Tip #1:
Is It Legal For Me To Trap A Raccoon?

If you have a raccoon in your house or chimney or nearby place and you need to trap it and kill it, it's better to contact the local animal control department or office. It may depend on the place you live in as the laws vary from place to place, so it's the matter of the law and no one can tell whether it's legal or illegal. When you capture the raccoon or any other animal without any reason you may be causing harm and harassing the animal and that is illegal.

In California, it's illegal to trap any kind of animal and if it is trapped, you must kill or leave it far away. It's absolutely illegal for the general public to trap any animal and relocate them. Hunting and trapping them if they are troubling is not an issue but leaving them to another area gets into another issue. If you live in an area or habitat that is attracting those, chances are another one will come even if you trapped and removed the old one.

You can call the local wildlife control professionals but chances are you will have an encounter with the raccoon again due to your habitat that attracts them. It's necessary to have a license or permission to trap them without them causing harm to you. No one can guarantee that the animal you trapped is the one you were looking for; maybe some other innocent creature got trapped. If you relocate the trapped animal they simply don't know where the source of water and food for them is and in every law this is illegal. The animal may die soon.

If you hire a pest control professional to make your work easier and to get rid of the raccoons and they say that they are relocating the wildlife, they are probably breaking law or lying to you. If you by chance catch the raccoon you have only two options left either to kill it or to release them, it's illegal to catch them in the first situation. If you have a licence to catch an animal creating trouble you should make sure you follow the laws. Raccoons are believed to have carrying the rabies bacteria and viruses so in the process of trapping, holding and then relocating the animal it might be a risk to your health so it's better to kill them as soon as you catch them. The important thing to remember is that the raccoon you caught at the house is generally female so it might have left the baby raccoons in the den and you need to even move them out from the house.

Clinton 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.
