Well we had an adult and 7 young Skunks under a porch. Advanced animal removal set a trap and one by one were caught. Glad to be done with the scent. Mark Cannon was our guy to take care of the trapping and did a really great job. Thanks Mark. read more

Mark has been providing rodent service as needed for couple years. He's prompt, dependable and does a good job. Very professional.

We had a great experience with Advanced Animal Removal. Mark did an outstanding job helping with a skunk problem on our property. From the first phone call to the completed removal, Mark was responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. Ultimately, 13 skunks were removed and they seemed to have moved on. Mark's responsiveness and expertise were well worth it. I highly recommend AAR to anyone dealing with nuisance wildlife. read more

They may do good work, but no need to contact them I was told their schedule is full and they won't schedule new work. Too bad...

Mark helped us handle a significant skunk problem we had and it's good to know who we can call if it happens again

Mark was great in helping us get rid of raccoons that were tearing up our yard. Caught two the first week and then a few more a week later. We are now raccoon free and are enjoying the deer, rabbits and birds in our yard, doing no damage. Thanks again Mark! read more

Great service, prompt and gave plenty of updates. Was also able to provide additional info about the damage the critters caused so that we could remedy quickly. Definitely recommend read more

Advanced Animal Removal provided excellent service, value and results. Mark was extremely responsive, prompt and respectful of the animals and our residential property. We had evidence of digging under fences and in flower beds. After only a week Advanced Animal Removal had picked up a raccoon and two skunks. Much thanks. read more

Mark helped us successfully remove a fox family that was wreaking havoc on our deck. He was communicative, prompt, polite, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I would call him again in an instant! read more

Advanced Animal Removal was very helpful in removing raccoons and a skunk that was terrorizing my dog and destroying my yard. They were fast, efficient & reasonably priced. If you have dangerous, unwanted critters, I highly recommend giving them a call. read more

Mark was so helpful dealing with our overrun yard of skunks! Professional through and through. Grateful!

Great to deal with! Took care of our skunk problem within days. Very professional and prompt responses when contacted.

Mark Skunksman was a professional, through and through. He immediately identified the skunk den under the house and proposed a plan to capture them. He was right - skunks LOVE fig newtons and he was able to remove and relocate the skunk family (it was mating season). 10/10 recommend these guys for all of your skunk related needs. read more

Mark was quick to make our initial appointment and was extremely responsive over the course of a month during which we caught five skunks that had nested under our deck. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

We had a possum problem in our backyard. We called Advanced Animal Removal after one of our neighbors suggested them. My husband and I were working with Mark. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He laid out his traps and told us he would be back in a few days to check the traps. The traps were out for about 4 days and a possum was caught! We called him and he came within an hour. Hopefully we don't have this problem again, but will definitely call him. I'd recommend him to other people. read more

Mark, "The Raccoon Whisperer", fully eradicated our home invasion within 48 hrs! Thank you Mark!

Our Sonoma yard was overrun with Raccoons- we had a night camera record 5 of them swimming in our pool! Mark set out several traps, we caught 4 raccoons in two nights. Mark showed up as promised, removed the animals, and our yard has been problem free since. I can't imagine anyone doing much better than he did- performed as promised, and delivered. read more

For the past 3 or so months raccoons were terrorizing my back yard lawn digging for grub. After laying down ammonia, critter ridder and other such deterrents they kept coming back. I gave Advanced Animal Removal a call and 3 days later problem solved. Great service with great work ethics. read more

I needed someone to remove a dead deer from my yard and Mark was very responsive and got to my house with very short notice to take care of this. He also honored the price he quoted even though the job was larger than expected. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give this guy no stars, I would. On the phone, he sounded knowledgeable. He gave me a price of $225 to come out and do a full inspection, set traps, and complete any minor repairs needed to fix small holes. He also said that for large critters, like raccoons and opossums, there would be a $125 relocation fee. When he actually arrived, though, he insisted on an additional $75 for about 5 minutes worth of work to fix a few small access spots on our house. So that initial $225 had escalated to $300. He set traps for some rates he thought were in the attic, and we made an appointment for him to come back a week later to check on them. Never did he say that there would be a charge for removing dead rats - shouldn't it be part of the service? What else are you going to do with dead rats? It makes sense that if you have a live animal, there would be a fee to relocate it, but if you're setting traps for rats, then that should be part of the service. He called 3 hours after he was supposed to be at our house to remove the traps to tell us that something more important had come up and that he would be by the next day. Upon arrival, he told us that there were no rats that had been caught, but that we needed to pay him $125 just for showing up. Never before had this been mentioned. We told him to take the traps and leave. $425 later, no animals were ever caught or removed from the house. This guy is a scam. I would never use him again. read more

We heard something scratching and moving around in our attic one night. Something way bigger than a rat, so I decided to call Advanced Animal Removal the next morning to set up an appointment. They were quick to respond and showed up at our doorstep that same day. They were very helpful! They did a full inspection and determined that we were dealing with a possum. They set up a trap and the very next day we caught our visitor. These guys ROCK and I will definitely use them again!!! read more

We tried another animal removal company for our bat problem. I was told nothing more could be done. I wanted another opinion so researched internet and found Mark. He promptly came out, listened to the problem, Performed a thorough assessment of both front AND back areas of the house. Mark Identified possible access points (not discussed by the previous company). Mark took/sent photos of the areas. He took his time to seal the areas well. It has been a little over a month since his initial inspection and work. He constantly checked in with us. As of today - no bats! He has been great to work with and I would call him again and highly recommend his service. RG read more

If it were possible to leave no stars I would. Paid Mark over $500 for literally nothing! He came out for 10 minutes one day and set a trap for a skunk. We did not catch anything for several days. Then one day when no one was home, he came back and said he removed a dead skunk from under the deck. He provided no evidence and sent a picture of several canvas bags in the back of his truck. He demanded I give him a credit card over the phone for the removal and charged me $284 because he said he had to put on his haz mat suit. MARK IS A TOTAL SCAM! Please watch out for this guy, he's out to just rip people off. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY OR MARK!!!!!! read more

What a great service! After our dog got sprayed twice by a skunk, we called AAR. Mark came out quickly, listened carefully to where we'd seen the skunk, placed and baited the traps (fig newtons! Who knew?) 2 days later, the skunk was caught. Mark showed up a few hours later to pick up the trap and also set another trap just in case. Total price was about $350 including removal - which my wife and I agree is about the best $350 we ever spent;-) We hope to be skunk free for a very long time but if/when one returns, we know who to call! read more

I noticed my lawn being torn up by some kind of animal almost every night for the last 2 weeks. It came to the point where I needed professional help for answers. Mark quickly came out and noticed a large amount of raccoon feces on one side of the yard. He then set up a raccoon trap in the area and the next thing you know, we caught 3 raccoons within a week. He resolved my problem quickly for less $ than I thought it would be. read more

We found Mark to be both ineffective and unprofessional. We used his services for over a year, and we STILL have the same problem that we originally called him about. After repeatedly charging us a lot of money (charging to set traps and again for picking them up), he insisted that he had done several "full-house inspections" and that there were no access points for wildlife into our house. Then why are we still having the same problem?? We had another service come out, and they found access points immediately that Mark didn't find. We also found Mark to have very poor communication, and it would often take weeks' worth of numerous texts and phone calls to get a response from him - not great when you want a wildlife problem taken care of immediately. read more

Mark was great. We caught five skunks in a week. He was super responsive and came out to our house several times to check the trap, etc. I would highly recommend him. read more

I am so happy that we found Mark. We have lived in our home for over 20 years and have had skunk problems. We worked with other businesses in past years but we weren't satisfied with the customer service and thought that we would try his company. We were out of town for a weekend and when we got home, we found a skunk had moved in underneath our porch and it was smelling up the entire house. Mark came out right away and made sure that the trap stayed baited and he was very responsive. I'm delighted to say that the skunk is now gone! I'm hoping we won't have more issues but if we do, I won't hesitate to call Mark. read more

Outstanding service, communication, and job. A family, locally owned business. I had a family of skunks move into a crawl space beneath my house. Mark of Advanced Animal Removal patiently explained the process of catching, removing, and repairing the entry and damage they had caused. The problem was taken care of promptly and efficiently. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Trapped 2 skunks and 1 raccoon in a week. Mark was solid, came out to the house consistently and stayed in touch. Professional and reliable. read more

We were awakened by skunk stink two early mornings. Called two companies on Sunday; the other company never answered. Mark inspected the area, found the probable hole, and set a trap Monday. Two skunks were captured by Thursday. We appreciate the professional and courteous service. (This review was inadvertently posted originally for the non-San Rafael branch.) read more
