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

TruTech Wildlife Service
Cell Phone: 816-479-0462

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Jackson County Animal Services: 816-737-6014

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 816-479-0462 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 Jackson 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 Raytown wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Raytown 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.

Raytown 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 Raytown 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 Raytown 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 Raytown 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 Raytown 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 Raytown pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Raytown 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 Raytown trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Raytown 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 Raytown. 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 Raytown 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 Raytown. And remember, we are a private business, not Jackson County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 816-737-6014. Jackson County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Raytown Wildlife Tip #1:


Do cats keep rats and mice away?

Cats are the usual pets people get for themselves because their cute and fluffy. They always know how to cheer up a day and always want to cuddle. They come in different variety and win our hearts the second they open their eyes. But other people get cats for a variety of reasons, which is not cute related. Some people get cats because they believe they can keep rats and mice away. Why? Because this is how the media industry advertised for us while growing up. How cats can kills any rats or mice in your household by just smelling it from far away. It is similar to a person being able to smell their favorite food from far away.

As we all know, cats are very independent animals that do not like being told what to do. Especially when it comes to their food, they eat whatever they want whenever they want! That is how it always has been. The way they look at mice is some type of a game that they would test their hunting skills with. Cats believe that since they are better than a mouse, they can out smart and out run it anytime, anywhere. This may be true most of the time which is the main reason mice are afraid of cats. Mice already know they have to run away as soon as a cat is in the picture because they do not want to be anyone's lunch!

The reason cats are so successfully on keeping mice and rats away is because they are very strong animals. They have nine lives! They are able to jump to or from really high heights as well as being very sneaky animals and attack when you least expect it. This is why rats or mice try to avoid them all together in fear of getting caught in their twisted game that they do not want to even play. However, cats do no really eat mice (stray cats might), but they just give the impression that they will eat it.

Cats chase mice and rats mostly for fun since they just love games and love the chase even more! It also gives them a good exercise when they want to stretch their legs. At times they just kill the rat or the mouse just to bring it back as a sign of glory. This will ultimately be a huge deal for other cats since they would technically be figured as the "boss".

Overall, cats can actually get rid of a rat or mouse and it does happen more frequently in households than you may believe. At times owners will get a cat for a short period of time just to get rid of all the rats and mice in the house so the owners can live in peace again. This is a huge turning point for cats and a trait they love to keep having. This is why they keep showing off and exploit their hunting skills.

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.
