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

Animal Remover, LLC
Cell Phone: 937-550-1350

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Champaign County Animal Services: (937) 834-5236

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. Ohio 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 937-550-1350 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 Ohio and Champaign 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 Urbana wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Urbana 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.

Urbana wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Ohio 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 Ohio law. We offer Urbana 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 Urbana 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 Urbana 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 Urbana rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Ohio 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 Urbana pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Urbana 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 Urbana trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Urbana 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 Urbana. 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 Urbana snake removal - most of the snakes in Ohio are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Urbana. And remember, we are a private business, not Champaign County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (937) 834-5236. Champaign County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Urbana Wildlife Tip #1:
Why do raccoons die inside houses or attics?

Raccoons are quite large creatures so mostly when they die in your house or the attic is because you sealed one (most probably the only one) of their entrances and trapped them in a place where they can't find an exit. This could be a tight spot under your house or even in one of the wall cavities. They probably won't be able to find food and will overheat or starve to death in the tight place that you closed.

Other common reasons

1. Abandonment by the parents - If you find dead offspring it's probably because you evicted the parents and they didn't get the chance to take their young with them. It's not very uncommon for the mother to die of something else after which the young are forced into death, because they are not old enough to provide food and shelter for them.
2. Disease - Like other types of rodents raccoons suffer from various diseases which are dangerous (because they are wild animals) Sick raccoons can wander off their children and cause them to die too.
3. Poisoning - Some of the people fend off their property with different kinds of poisons - some of which are paralyzing the raccoons and killing them on the spot.
4. Territorial reasons - raccoons are known for their territoriality and often fight against other males for mating rights and territory.

Solving the problem

The raccoons are big animals and dying near or in the house will leave you with stench that won't go off that easy, finding their carcass is the first step to remove the threat and stench from your house. You can choose if you want to do this yourself or call local wildlife removal professionals which for a fee will remove the dead animal from your house.

Be Killed or evolve

Raccoons like possums and other types of animals are starting to learn that humans often mean security, food and shelter so instead of giving their offspring in the woods they inhabit human houses and attics. Some of the "domestic" raccoons die in the house and leave the home owner with a problem.

Ohio Wildlife Information:

Ohio State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: White-tailed deer
State reptile: Northern black racer
State insect: 7-spotted ladybug

Welcome to Ohio, the state where there aren't many mountains, but there are plenty of forests and fields for animals to enjoy. Not only does this state have a nice mixture of habitats, the landscape is generally universal when it comes to climate. Ohio does occasionally have a tornado, and it can have an earthquake or two, but most of the time the summers are hot and the winters are cold. This climate eliminates some of the heat-loving critters in the southern states, but it does keep those common creatures that live around homes comfortable.

The most common nuisance animals in Ohio are raccoons, snakes, bats, geese, swans, squirrels, woodpeckers, skunks, and opossums. Homes in this state are well-insulated against the cold winters, making them ideal locations of critters that like to climb into an attic. Rats are frequent visitors in the city areas, and homeowners without rats usually have a mouse or two. People living closer to nature, or those with an urban raccoon issue, sometimes find the animals up in the attic. This can be particularly problematic, especially because most raccoons in an attic have a littler of babies nearby. While not as common, the occasional opossum will also invade a home in Ohio from time to time.

Coyotes and black bears rule the food chain in this state, though the bears are less of a nuisance than the intelligent canines. Coyotes will hunt in packs, picking off livestock or entering suburbs where they feed on pets and harass small children. A determined coyote will even climb a fence if it is hungry enough to want the pet inside the yard. The black bears are nuisances mostly at campgrounds or in places where people leave garbage out overnight. The bear is an extremely strong animal, and a secured garbage can lid won't be enough to deter these predators.

In the river valleys, Ohio has a number of industrious beavers, otters, and muskrats. Homeowners living near streams may find themselves suddenly flooded due to a recently constructed dam. For the most part, muskrat concerns belong to the county. Government officials need to worry about dike walls being compromised by the burrowing muskrat. Due to the decent amount of precipitation this state receives annually, semi-aquatic animals tend to thrive in Ohio.

You can always call Animal Remover, LLC, any time of day, at 937-550-1350, for a price quote for Urbana wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Urbana, OH.
