Steve is great. This is the second time I've used Animal Boy Trapping Service.He explains everything and is easy to talk to. I highly recommend this service. He's not trying to get rich off of one job ( unlike other providers I'd gotten quotes from ). You can trust his pricing and trust that he'll do an outstanding job. read more

Steve was awesome. I had multiple rats in my yard and he trapped and removed all of them.......along with a raccoon too. He was prompt and a pleasure to work with. He replaced and secured the screen to underneath the house and checked all of the other screens as well. He did an amazing job and I would definitely hire him again. Great service, great guy. read more

Reported him to the California Fish and Wildlife Service. Their number which I called is +1 (310) 547-7950 and his guy Jordan Nelson who answers their calls and does the work is at +1 (310) 602-9017. He also works under the name Works also under the name Trapper Jordan LLC For Animal Trapping. Absolute failure. He needs to be put out of business and actually get a job. Promised as part of the service to seal a small several foot section of deck after trapping the animals. Over the course of three days caught two opossums and a skunk which, Charged $225 for "initial setup"which consisted of coming out dropping a $65 Home Depot trap with a jar of peanut butter next to the rodent hole. literally took five minutes. Then charged an additional $85 each to remove three subsequently caught small animals, each of those took about three minutes, after which violated fishing And wildlife laws by letting them go other neighborhoods and nearby parks. Was supposed to seal the deck after a day or two of no animal activity, he then procrastinated for 2 1/2 weeks, promise to come out, failed, promised again, failed, promised again, and then just never showed up. The result was more animals housing under my deck basically in the same or worst condition than when I started. Wasted over $500 - avoid at all costs. He now claims to have never done business with me , see below for photo of payments. If he isn't Jordan Nelson and this person is not his employee then he can come remediate the problem and I will modify my review. read more

Years ago I had used Steve for a skunk removal so I knew he did great service. He got rid of the skunk plus closed openings to access under my house. Recently when I moved back into my house I discover lattice work under deck had rotted and was missing in spots. Worried something might be living under deck I wanted to check prior to have deck repaired. Steve came to house that day and placed cardboard and easily movable blockades to openings. He instructed me to monitor every morning to see if anything had been moved. After a week without changes the decision was made nothing living under deck and clear to repair opening. When I offered him some payment for time and expertise he didn't charge me anything. If I ever have an unwanted guest living under my house I know I'm going to call Steve. read more

Jordan has been fantastic! He was quick to come out and take care of a rat problem under my house. He is excellent about following up and also excellent at keeping them out for good! So glad we chose him! And he didn't price gouge us! He was fair and did a fantastic job! read more

I would give Animal Boy 6 starts if I could. I put a Ring camera out next to a crawl space and learned I had a skunk visiting. So I bought a trap and caught the skunk! But then I learned the city I live in does not let you do anything other than release it at your property line, i.e., move it 10 feet and let it go towards my neighbor's house. So I called Animal Boy and they removed the skunk (transferred it from my trap to his own box) the same day, then took it away to release it 5+ miles away. Very affordable. This is the best service and I would use them again, although I hope I don't need them! read more

Steve came same day to help with skunk that had made a home under my house. He was friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate to me and the animal. It took a couple days, but we got him. Steve removed the critter (thankfully he didn't spray again!) And followed up by making sure there were no mates or buddies near by. We got the place secure. This is a service I hope you don't have to use, but if you do... call animal boy! read more

Steve was so professional and helpful. He came to my mom's house to take care of a potential skunk problem. He was accommodating with my schedule and great to work with! read more

Steve is Great. Friendly, informative and knowledgeable. Skunk captured in a few days. Highly recommend their service.

A critter was trapped inside the walls I called and had an appointment that day Problem resolved and critter gone !!! read more

Excellent service. Caught 2 skunks and a possum in 4 days. Came right away the following morning to remove the animals. Text and phone contact near immediate. Highly recommend! read more

Steve is the best. Don't mess with the rest. Knowledgeable, experienced, professional and very reasonable! Compassionate trapper. Simply the best!!! No more raccoon pool parties or amorous skunks. read more

Highly recommend ~ so glad we called Steve! He's the real deal. After months of trying to deter the skunk that's been digging up our garden, we contacted City Animal Services in Long Beach. They recommended several trappers and we chose Steve because of his knowledge, kind demeanor and prompt attention. His trap caught the skunk in less than 3 days! Excellent service and value. Thank you, Animal Boy Trapping!! read more

So helpful, and knowledgeable. Very friendly and fair pricing. My dogs were sprayed by skunks twice in 2 weeks... they helped us set traps all around the yard. We didn't catch any skunks, and thankfully they decided to stop coming around. They did help us catch a very elusive rat that had been plaguing our plumbing and walls inside. We could hear it chewing at night. It had actually chewed off its own tail to escape a sticky trap we had set ourselves. Animal boy also helped us install a one way door on the crawl space where they were getting in so that any other rodents could find their way out but not back in again. Highly recommend. Will use again if needed. read more

Excellent service! Steve helped remove three skunks from under our house within 3 days. We are extremely thankful to Steve for removing them in a timely manner. Steve was kind, friendly, and helpful . Highly recommend! read more

They helped us with a skunk living under our home. We're so grateful! It sprayed a total of 6 times in 7 days. Truly awful! They also do exclusion work so they can't get under our house anymore at a very reasonable price. We're so thankful we found Steve & Matt at Animal Boy! Super nice guys and very empathetic to us and humane to the skunk! read more

Animal Boy Trapping Services - Good-bye little buddy! Enjoy your new home! - Pest Control Near Me

We heard thumps, scrapes, and walking sounds at 5:00 am every morning coming from the attic. It was really unnerving! I called Steve who came the same day. He did a thorough check of our house, climbed up into the attic looked all outside and went on top of the roof and found hair and droppings from raccoons. He was honest and told us that it just looked like they were outside (he could have charged us to place traps), and said if the noise was bothering us too much he would return at no charge to place outside traps. All in all he was really nice and did a thorough job! read more

Let me just say how lucky I feel that I found Steve. After finding a skunk living under our house I called another trapping company which ultimately was a scam. He was all about the money and not fixing our problem. After paying him to help catch the skunk it was hard to get him back to the house to finish the work. So, I had to do more research and find someone else to come help us. I found Steve on yelp and many of the other customers had nothing but great things to say about him. After researching more trappers I felt like he was the best one to go with. He was very through and Cared about our safety. And need I mention, the lowest price out of all the other trappers. After, doing a detailed inspection around our house, he made sure all of our vents under the house were properly sealed and closed off to prevent any other pests from trying to make a home underneath our house (and didn't charge us). We gave him a big tip just because we were so happy to work with him compared to these other predatory trappers! I would recommend him to anyone and I plan on using him in the future, if need be. Nice guy and not out to break your bank. read more

Steve removed a skunk from the crawl space under our house and sealed up all the access points to prevent any future problems. He was professional, punctual, reasonably priced, and so easy to work with. A really good guy. I highly recommend him. read more

Steve was WONDERFUL!! Long Beach Animal Control had referred me to him. He is everything you would want in a man who will be humanely trapping an animal. We had a skunk on our property and Steve was out promptly, set traps, and the skunk was caught the next day. Steve was efficient, professional and affordable. It may sound corny but made me feel like he's my friend instead of just a customer. Don't look at anyone else, call STEVE!! read more

Got rid of my raccoon problem at less then half the price of what the others wanted. Great value

Disappointed. Terrible communication issues between owner and staff. I contacted owner on Tuesday for a Saturday appointment. He was responsive and helpful but his "weekend" person never contacted me. I texted the owner at 8 am saturday saying how I never heard from the weekend guy - no response. Around 10 am I get a call from weekend guy that he will be there in about an hour. He spoke very mumbled and I could barely make out what he was saying but figured my convo with the owner before was so on point - I'M SURE it will be fine. Service - I paid $150 for a man to walk around my 2 car garage and place 4 wood and wire snap kill traps and point out a hole in the side vent which I already knew about. I expected the whole house looked over based on both previous conversations with the owner and for the price. I read all the reviews on yelp and the their responses to complaint reviews. Felt safe that A) they would do a good job and B) if for any odd reason it wasn't great service I had the impression they would resolve it. As I just mentioned I was unhappy - I contacted the owner and expressed this. He stopped responding to me. Now I have four "Victor M154 Metal Pedal Mouse Trap"- ahem- KILL traps in my garage, still no clue to what extent the infestation is, and I'm out $150. Oh and to have them come pick up the dead - because they used kill traps - will be another $75. NO thanks. read more

First of all, Trapper was able to go to the property on an urgent basis, and was very upfront with his pricing. He then spent a lot of time in the crawl space searching for the stinky cause of the awful smell. He did not give up and finally was able to locate the dead rat. If it weren't because Trapper had such great work ethics and professionalism, it would have been a miserable next few days having to suffer through the smell of a decomposing rodent. I hope I won't have another rodent problem like this one but if I do, I will be calling Trapper again no doubt. read more

I had the best experience with this company! Very polite and friendly over the phone, very professional in person. I told the service technician that I was in desperate need of same day service and he was at my house by the end of the day pulling a live raccoon out from underneath my house. I was amazed on how skilled and experienced Trapper Jordan was. I would highly recommend Animal Boy Trapping services to any one with any wild animal problems. read more

I called for a loose skunk and they were able to come out very quickly to set up the traps. As we were looking for where the traps could be set, I was speaking to Steve who was SUPER helpful in understanding why the skunks may have shown up here and what I can do to prevent them from coming in the future. Not every business would be so generous with their information on how to prevent this from happening in the future. Good news...we caught the skunk and they were out very quickly to pick it up. I would HIGHLY recommend them because they were quick, efficient, and VERY professional. Next time I have a animal to trap, I'm not calling anyone else except for Animal Boy Trapping Services. read more

Animal Boy Trapping Services - Skunk was caught within 24 hours of them setting up the trap. - Pest Control Near Me

I'm currently in the process of reporting Animal Boy Trapping Service to the BBB - yes, they're that bad. 1) They won't show up to your house when they say they will. 2) Then when they do actually show up, they will tell you the service is free as a way of 'making things right,' then will forget that entirely and eventually invoice and then send collections after you... 3) ...even after the owner Steve and his employee Jordan promised that they would call the collections agency multiple times and resolve the issue (surprise: they didn't). 4) Fun bonus: Animal Boy Trapping Services couldn't even catch the raccoons that were the reason I called them in the first place! The raccoons just knocked over their cages to eat the spilled food out the edges and went on their way. Super pro work, guys! --- Long story long: Jordan promised to show and deal with traps for a raccoon problem at my house and missed all three promised days/times in which I then missed two days of work waiting for him. When he did show up the fourth time, he told me the service was free/comped/waived because of his inability to get to my house the three previous scheduled times. I received an invoice a few months later for said free service, and spoke to Steve the owner who said that it was a mistake and consider it void based on my negative experience. Then 6 months later I received a letter from a collections agency (!!!) looking to collect on Animal Boy Trapping's behalf for this invoice I was instructed by the owner to ignore. I call the collection agency, who tell me to call ABT to resolve this. I then speak to Jordan, my original trapper who started this whole process with his free assessment, who promises to speak to Steve to have collections called off. I call the collections agency and confirm - nothing was called off. After several calls to a "voicemailbox full" recording, I finally get Steve (the owner!) who HIMSELF promises to call the collections agency to have the invoice removed. Great! I follow up with the collections company a week later - and surprise - Steve never called. I call ABT again, and speak to Jordan (...again....) who promises to resolve it. Does it get resolved? Nope! Literally this company is the greatest waste of my time on earth. I won't let them negatively impact my credit based on their negligence, and hopefully the same won't happen to you. read more

The bad: some nights a raccoon would dance on my roof. The good: Matt came out the same day to survey the roof. He did not find any entry point in the attic, but quickly found signs of raccoon activity around my house. He setup two traps. The next morning (Saturday) a raccoon was inside the trap. He promptly came to retrieve the animal for release in a different area. Set the trap again and the next morning a massive male was caught. He promptly came to retrieve even though it was on a Sunday and it was Christmas. He was prompt, competent and respectful. I would certainly recommend his services. read more

Jordan was awesome and Steve was great on the phone. They came out promptly and worked around my crazy schedule. They set up traps, caught the skunk overnight and this is where they really earned my endorsement: The confirmed that they were getting back up there almost within the hour of calling them to let them know there was a skunk in the trap. This was important to me as the skunk was trapped in 90 degree heat with no water. We have to remember that we share this planet with animals, despite their cognitive ability, emotional capacity and intelligence level not being recognised until more recently. Even rats are highly intelligent. A nuisance to our habitat if theyre not pets but killing them with rat traps is so inhumane. These guys will go the extra step to relocate the animals they can and even try to find a foster for domesticated homeless animals. Jordan showed up with a tiny kitten that was so distraught from being in a cage. It had been removed from someones property and was on his way to drop it off at the animal shelter. The sad reality is that the kitten will likely be euthanised if no one adopts it in a few days, but at least he gave it a chance. Perhaps post photos of homeless pets on your Facebook page too before heading to the pound and shelters? Bravo lads. Keep up the great work and thank you for your fine contribution to humanity. We need it. read more

Fair price, reliable, and great service! Jordan and Steve are top notch. I would definitely recommend them their services to anyone I know. Love the name too read more

Very helpful and reliable service for dealing with unwanted animals on your property. So glad I didn't try to do this myself. Steve has years of experience and knows how to do this in a very humane way, and goes the extra mile to relocate the animals to a safe place. read more

This company does an excellent job of getting rid of animals who might be lingering around your property. Give them a call.

Steve is the best, we had a skunk under the house issue and Steve came out and we caught the little critter that same night. He is very professional, knows his stuff and I would highly recommend him. Thanks again Steve for a job well done. read more

Called them when I thought I had a raccoon in the attic. Jordan came out the next day and informed me it wasn't a raccoon but a very large rat. He also said I had an entry point which needed to be sealed and was included in my $150 service call. He didn't have the materials needed to seal the hole and I didn't have the time to wait for him to go out and get them and we agreed for him to come out the following week to do the job. Called Jordan on Monday to schedule the work left a voice mail and he didn't return the call. Called the next day left message no return call. Called the office on Wednesday and told them I had left 2 messages with Jordan and their response was he would get back to me in 10 minutes. Jordan called me soon after my call to the office and agreed to come out the next day between 10:30 and 11:30. He didn't come. Called him around 12 and asked if he was coming and he said he was very busy and would come later that day. He didn't come and never called. My wife called the office later that day and was told that I didn't want them to come out and do the work because I told Jordan that I would do it myself. I don't know what I paid $150 for but I am very unhappy with this company and would caution others not to pay up front for any work. All I want is what I paid for and if they can't make it at the agreed upon time then give me a call. read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Animal Boy. Jordan's quick response (late on a Friday) and the timely, compassionate, conscientious, competitively priced service they provide, have made me a huge fan! We had a raccoon family under an older, spanish fourplex. They weren't leaving on their own, and they were getting loud and stinky. My internet search and a couple phone calls to other companies and animal control had me worried about the extent of the work required. I checked yelp and found Animal Boy, and I'm happy I did. Jordan assessed the situation accurately, used strategic pheromones and expertly dealt with the faulty crawl-space covers and vent screens that allowed the problem to begin. He managed my expectations about the number of days it would likely take from start to finish, he checked and reset the trap as promised, and secured the property once he confirmed the animals were gone. I had the good fortune to meet Steve to pay the final bill, and I agree that he is a stand-up guy. I'm going to hire Animal Boy to help tackle a feral cat + raccoon situation at another building in Long Beach. read more

Trapper Jordan and Trapper Saani were awesome on the phone. Really kind and concerned and funny while I was very nervous. Hilariously Saani and County Animal Control arrived at the same time. Trapper Saani arrived so quickly after we spoke, plus he was super knowledgeable and nice. Turns out there wasn't even an animal in my light fixture, merely some greasy oil fluid from a burnt out bulb. Now I know not to wait hours for County when there's these Boys! I definitely will be calling them in the future when I actually have an animal issue. read more

Steve was not only knowledgeable, but his prices are also fair. I am now critter-free and appreciated at the speed he came out to assist. His customer service is top-notch! RS. read more

I had a good experience with this company. Blade came to the appointment on time, and laid traps and blocked the holes where the rodents were coming inside. Price was reasonable. I would recommend them. read more

I cannot thank Trapper Jordan enough for his kind and professional service. We had a issue we needed him to come out and take care of and he was flexible in arranging to meet us a time that would work. He was fast and efficient when he got here. He explained everything that he was doing and how the rodent gained access to our attic. He was also very careful with our clay shingle roof even though I knew there was risk involved. I highly recommend him and will not hesitate to contact him in the future if the need arises. He has great communication skills and kept me informed at all times. Thanks Jordan,wish everyone had your work ethic. read more

Trapper Jordan was wonderful, and responded to every text I wrote almost immediately. After weeks of trying to get Mother/babies out (using scent of male raccoon), Jordan captured Mom and one baby with a trap. They were removed and were released. Raccoons have from 3-8 babies so, if there were more babies in our attic, I trusted Jordan would find them. About a week later, I found a baby in the garden. We tried feeding it, we found a cage for it, it escaped, we found it, but by then it was the weekend and Jordan said he wasn't able to pick it up till Monday. We could have paid an extra $75 for them to come get it. It escaped again and was mauled & killed by neighbor's dog. A week later, I found 2 other babies in very bad shape. It had been nearly 2 weeks since Mom was there, and they were starving. I ran them over to the SPCA as fast as possible. The woman who worked there looked at the babies, looked at me with angry eyes and said I could be arrested for such neglect. She took them and euthanized them. I am not a PETA extremist, but the image of those starved babies will forever be engrained in my head. Between our very challenging house and many crawl spaces making it impossible to reach the raccoons + the 25 mile distance that Jordan had to travel to get to us, plus other circumstances, THIS WAS A TOUGH AND UNUSUAL JOB. This Yelp review has been difficult to write because Jordan was good, serious, smart, I liked him. I don't know what else could have been done to avoid the suffering, but I do wish we had tried using a different strategy and NOT taken the Mother away from her babies. read more

Steve and Matt are terrific! We called Sunday morning on the hottest day of the year to-date. We told Steve that we thought we had dead rats in our house's "crawl space." Steve said he would get someone over by early afternoon. Half an hour later (before noon) Matt called and told us he'd be by in 45 or so. When he arrived he immediately surveyed the scene and found and removed the dead critter. They he cleaned, disinfected and deodorized the area. Matt knew what to do and did it with ease and efficiency. We intend to use ABTS---Animal Boy Trapping Services--- the next time we have an animal issue. They accommodated under unusual circumstances and knowledgeably and efficiently remedied our problem. read more
