If you have a problem with wildlife in your Florence home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Kentucky 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 Kentucky and Florence, and I recommend the following:

Animal Remover, LLC
Cell Phone: 859-795-3329

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Boone County Animal Services: 859-586-5285

Animal Remover, LLC specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Kentucky also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Animal Remover, LLC 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 859-795-3329 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 2023.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Kentucky and Boone 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



Animal Remover, LLC is a full-service Florence wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Florence pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Animal Remover, LLC 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.

Florence wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Kentucky 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 Kentucky law. We offer Florence raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Animal Remover, LLC. 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 Florence 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 Florence 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 Florence rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Kentucky 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 Florence pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Florence 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 Florence trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Florence 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. Animal Remover, LLC does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Animal Remover, LLC. 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. Animal Remover, LLC also provides dead animal removal in Florence. 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 Florence snake removal - most of the snakes in Kentucky are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Florence. And remember, we are a private business, not Boone County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 859-586-5285. Boone County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Florence Wildlife Tip #1:
How to scare geese away
Many of us have become quite accustomed to seeing geese around. These are animals that are frequently found by bodies of water, even if it is the pond outside of your workplace, so they see them as a common part of the landscape of wherever they live or work.

While you may be quite used to geese, that does not mean that you want them gathering around your home, apartment complex, or business. These animals may look attractive, but they drop their waste everywhere, which can build up on sidewalks and in other areas where people are known to walk or congregate, and this can be rather disgusting.

Add to it the fact that geese have become quite accustomed to people. Many go to parks where geese are found and feed them on a regular basis, so they are not afraid of people at all. This is made them quite aggressive at times in terms of how they relate to people, which can make them when nuisance animal you simply don't want around.

The problem is trying to get them up to go away. How do you scare away geese?

As mentioned, it can be difficult to try to get them to simply go away by shooing them in some way. These geese will act quite aggressive with people, especially if they are a parent who is around their young. In these kinds of cases they can be quite difficult to try to scare away by running at them.

Instead, you likely have to be a lot more creative in the way that you get these animals to go away. If they are coming onto your property, one way that you may try to use is to employ a sprinkler system that is activated through use of a motion detector. As the geese come around the motion sensor, they activate the sprinkler system which begins to spray the geese. They become startled by the action and will fly away.

The use of a dog can be extremely effective as well. Send out your German Shepherd, Labrador, or other large dog and they will do a great deal of good work for you in getting these birds to fly away. The great benefit of using a dog is that geese are quick enough to get away so that they are not harmed, but they will likely not return because of their concern about the dog.

Of course, the primary thing you want to do is make sure that you do nothing to invite the geese to come around your property. This means that you need to ensure that there are no sources of food for the geese to have to eat. You can't leave things out that could entice them to come around your property, you need to put your garbage can lids on tightly, and make sure that anything that they would find to be a snack is not available. If you allow them to find reasons to come they will come regardless of what measures you take to try to scare them away.

Florence Wildlife Tip #2:


Kentucky Wildlife Information:

Kentucky State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: Gray squirrel, Thoroughbred horse
State fish: Kentucky spotted bass
State insect: Viceroy butterfly

Kentucky is a state full of rich farmland. It has a relatively flat terrain, but the state has a nice mixture of rolling hills and flat areas covered in bluegrass. The rich vegetation has been the home of some large grazing animals through the centuries, including bison. There are no wild breeding populations of bison within the state any longer, but the country's highest population of elk makes Kentucky their home. At one point in time, the state was also the native land of cougars, red wolves, and gray wolves. All three species have since been extirpated. The only top predators are now coyotes and black bears, though the black bears tend to keep to berries and insects. Some issues have been had with bears becoming too bold around garbage cans or trash sites. In situations like these, the state game commission comes in and moves the offending bear to a new location.

Coyotes are not as commonly picked up and moved, but the canines can cause some issues with farmers if natural food supplies are low. Some resident landowners have taken to introducing llamas into herds of smaller livestock. The llamas are not afraid of coyotes, and the large creatures can easily fend off an attack.

Kentucky tends to have a humid, hot summer and then a cooler, wet winter. The state can reach cold temperatures reminiscent of the Northeast, but those days are few and far between. Because the climate is so varied and the vegetation lush, Kentucky has a fair share of the common nuisance animals in the United States. Homeowners in Kentucky have to do battle with a variety of mouse species. This is due to the thick grasses which cover most of the state. Mice love to be concealed in a thick carpet of grass. Larger nuisance creatures make their home in the state as well, including bats, raccoons, snakes, beavers, otters, porcupines, opossums, squirrels, rats, armadillos, and prairie dogs.

Middle-sized animals thrive in Kentucky bluegrass. The state has a large population of rabbits, followed by a large population of foxes and bobcats. Even in areas where trees are scarce, rabbits and foxes can move through tall grass without being detected. Their burrows are protected from sight, and they are rarely seen by the public unless invading a yard.

You can always call Animal Remover, LLC, any time of day, at 859-795-3329, for a price quote for Florence wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Florence, KY.
