Karen, the woman who owns the company, was tenacious in her pursue of an gopher who was tearing up a section of my new lawn. Over a two month period, she kept setting new traps, but the gopher was clever and just dug new tunnel around the traps. Finally yesterday the gopher was caught. It turned out to be a small pocket gopher who was half the size of a normal gopher. Her price for all the time she spent trying to capture my elusive gopher was more than reasonable. I enjoyed talking to Karen while she set the traps. She pleasant, funny and a good sport. read more

Karen is great to work with. Clear communication. Clear pricing. Very effective trapping. We had a ground squirrel problem. They dug under the driveway pavers and under a shed. Karen came out within a day, set traps then returned any time a squirrel was caught - which in our case was nearly daily. It wasn't cheap but the cheap services I tried were mostly a waste of money. Really easy text communication. Super responsive throughout the process. Just an easy person to deal with. I'd use her again. read more

If only everything in life was this easy... We contacted Karen to get details on how to get rid of a gopher that had started ripping up our flower beds. She was pleasant, thorough, and the least expensive of the 4 companies we contacted. Within a day, she sent Orion out. Orion was also very pleasant, humorous and explained everything. He came back a week later, as promised, and the critter was gone. Could not be happier! read more

Like many other reviews mentioned, Karen was great to work with. We had a skunk issue. She was upfront on the pricing and process, gave us tips on how to clearly identify the entry point so traps can be more targeted and less likely to catch other animals. So far the experience working with her is A+. read more

Removed a raccoon that had been destroying our lawn. Service was efficient and effective, communication was solid and cost was fair. Would happily use this service again. read more

Feb 2024- Based on phone call and laying traps Karen, the woman who owns this company, is a delight. Genuine and pleasant. She is very knowledgeable and considers all elements when discussing skunk trapping. She was out here within a day to lay the traps. Very reasonable pricing. I would highly recommend this women owned business! Ill be back to update once trapped read more

Karen came out to my mom's house around Dec. 2021 to take care of some squirrels that were in the roof/ attic. She came up with a treatment plan to remove the squirrels and seal their entryway that was within the budget. Within a week, the squirrels were gone. They haven't been back since. Thank you, Karen! read more

Called this company to rid a rattlesnake in my yard. Service was prompt and on time. Would definitely call this service again for any critter issues. read more

Something is for sure digging up my grass and knocking down my fruits in the yard, I called and left a VM, shortly after I got a call back from Karen and was educated on what is going on. We set up an appointment for trapping as the prices are very reasonable. She is very responsive through call and texts. A few days later, learned that I might not need trapping and we'll hold off for a while. I am very impressed with the level of service, integrity and the honest care for customers. I am saving her contact for any of my future animal trapping needs -hopefully not too soon. Thank you!!! read more

Karen is knowledgeable, professional, responsive and effective. She came quickly after my first call and set up traps at "strategic locations" in our backyard. Within a few days, a few animals were caught and we were very happy. Highly recommend Karen for her specialty services. read more

Karen is the owner of this family owned business. She is sweet, very responsive and professional. I contacted her through text message and she responded even after her business hours. She shared a lot of information about wild animals with me. The cages were strategically put down and in a few days we were able to capture several ground squirrels that were trying to dig tunnels under our slab foundation. We communicated through text and Karen was able to pick up most of the captured squirrels in the same day. I enjoyed working with Karen and would highly recommended her. No other animal control companies can beat her responsiveness. Her service fee is very reasonable and I also lover her business hours are 7 days a week. read more

Karen is responsive and professional. She placed the traps strategically and was able to catch a large number of grounds squirrels in a week. Her pricing is slightly lower than other quotes received. read more

This is my 2nd time service call to "Animal Trapping Services" (1st service call was in March/2023). The main purpose is mainly to check/fix slide 2-story 25 years tile roof top and gutters cleaning to prep for the upcoming raining and winter season. The gutters' cleaning is our annual event due to many big trees surrounding. Previously I used other people/company to handle the work, however always unhappy and not satisfied at the end, and still had leaves clogged in drainpipes and water overflow down the gutters, it was an awful, terrible and scary experiences. Robert works on the 2 story tile roof top carefully and thoroughly without any fears, so brave! He is the real expert of the roofing (actually he's very knowledgeable on many things and a very hands-on person). He even reviewed and checked the animal seals from March/2023 service to ensure everything's ok. In addition, Karen also reviewed my cage setup and results, shared her experience to think as the animal; further improve the cage & traps setup and gave me 1 of her cage to improve the efficiency. Both Karen and Robert are very honest and trustworthy persons, as well as funny and ease to communicate to! I would refer to anyone about this company and the great quality services from Karen & Robert! read more

We hired Animal Trapping Services to do a full inspection of our workplace (a historic century old home) for rodents in the attic and for a more urgent problem of a large animal digging up behind our garden shed. I got another quote from another service but they were charging way too much. This family owned company was much more affordable for us and they have great reviews. Karen, the office manager was friendly and wonderful to work with. Anthony and Will came to our workplace on time and took a look around our premises. They gave us recommendations about how we might best avoid rodents. Next they checked our large hole behind the garden shed and immediately set up 2 traps to capture what was digging and live down underneath our garden shed. Both Anthony and Will were very friendly and knowledgeable. We caught an opposum, a squirrel, 2 skunks and a cat (it was released!) This took around 2 weeks. Each morning that we called with an update and needed the traps reset or rebaited, they came out the same day. Once they thought the issue was solved, Anthony shoveled back the dirt and covered the hole. Karen said they have. A 30 day guarantee, so if anything happens to the hole and it gets re-dug, they will come out again. If we ever have another animal issue at our workplace, I won't hesitate to call them again. read more

Awesome company. This is the second time I called. Customer service is awesome. Karen is awesome on the phone, very helpful. Will came out again to our house on time. His is very friend. honest and checks everything around the house. Price is very reasonable. Highly recommend the crew. If I need them, they will be the first to call. Same day service! read more

In defense of the one star review. Iam a new customer of this fine company. I got their number a few weeks ago from the pest company who has had my service for years. Karen and wil are absolutely the finest ppl in trappings yet. In two and a half they have been to my home almost daily. They pick up the animals, reset and replace cages and remove the 6 racoons almost every day and 2 possum. I resent the person who gave them one star it wasn't an honest review in my opinion. Please note, as you can see iam not computer literate, I just think it is unfair to ruin a business when I bet they were never customers. Yes I want you to share it. And you can verify with the animal service. read more

We used Animal Trapping Services to help us with a skunk problem. Karen is very helpful and knowledgeable. Within 2 days after setting up traps in our backyard, we had trapped 3 skunks, which she came and picked up right away. I highly recommend this company. read more

Very Responsive, professional and also tailor to each customer / location / situation needs. Highly Recommended

We've been using Animal Trapping Services for at least 12 years. They responded to a rat problem in the attic. Because of the roof construction (spanish tile) we can't keep the rats out but Animal Trapping catches them when they show up. It used to be Anthony that came out. Now it is Karen. Always very polite and efficient. And the price is so reasonable. read more

Karen is super responsive, very knowledge and easy to work with. She not only helped us to catch the animals- opossum, skunk and racoon that ruined our lawn but also told us how to the root cause of the issue - grubs and how to prevent it in the future. Her service charge is very reasonable compared to other competitive service company. I highly recommend the Animal Trapping Services (Karen) if you need the assistance of animal issues. read more

Definitely recommend this place! I gave them a call for some help with possum trapping and though I was out of their service area, the rep on the phone took the time (without me asking) to give a number to a place near me which turned out to be great and she also offered some tips on how to reach people in what was a pretty urgent situation. Great customer service! read more

Customer Service is a list art so when you find a company that has it, you have to show appreciation. Karen is great. Their prices are reasonable, they are prompt and efficient. They answer the phone and are quick to handle the situation with integrity. read more

Karen is awesome. We found out that we had two skunks who had created a burrow under the corner of the back of our garage and were living there. Yikes! We called Animal Trapping Services, and Karen came out with her traps. She brought two traps. The first night, we captured 1 skunk and the second night we captured an opossum (which had been roaming the neighborhood - we had seen him). After that, it appears the other skunk decided to go elsewhere, and Karen gave us advice for how to board up the holes on our fence (where the critters were coming in), how to fill in the burrow, and even gave advice about rats and other animals. We have not had any more skunk activity. Really appreciate this business. Karen is great! read more

I called so many animal services yesterday about my opossum problem. My interactions with most companies were really disappointing and sometimes just plain weird. But this company had a friendly and experienced person handling phone calls and they came to my house within a couple of hours. I wish I had known to just call them first. read more

Unbelievably efficient and friendly service! Karen was wonderful when I called, she basically gave me a PhD in skunk detection and removal! Anthony showed up exactly on time and found the poor, departed skunk lying in repose under my house. Fair price, punctual service, and wonderful people to deal with! read more

We had a litter of raccoons living in our attic. We called Animal Trapping Services to come out and help us. The person that I spoke with on the phone was wonderful. She was very helpful, friendly, and had a couple of options that we could try. She was able to use google maps and review the layout of my property to tailor her suggestions on how the raccoons were getting in and how they could be trapped. She also gave me prices for the different options over the phone. Will came by a couple of days later to evict the raccoons without trapping. Trapping would have been more difficult in our situation. Will was friendly and helpful. Within 24 hours, the animals were gone! We paid later in the day over the phone via credit card. The price was reasonable/fair. My only regret was not calling them sooner. read more

Wow! What incredible service. First of all they fit us in during the busy Thanksgiving Holiday. Second, when they arrived (on time), they were very professional. They found the dead animal under the house and promptly removed it without leaving a mess. Anthony kept us informed of our service options once the animal was removed and also gave us some pointers on how to remedy certain situations. read more

This is a mixed review, for a reason. Karen was very helpful, and took care of business efficiently. However, her sidekick Paul was another matter entirely. Two and a half hours late, and then he made a very pretty speech about how another customer was more important, and that was why he was so late. Very nice, but I missed a whole day of work. Not so good from my point of view. Go with Karen, avoid Paul. read more

It was a pleasure working with Karen and Anthony who run Animal Trapping Services. We hired them last October when we had a rat problem in our attic and garage. Anthony is awesome: he always showed up when he said he would and was very methodical and thorough about fixing the problem. A very personable guy, he was also able to clearly explain what he planned to do and give an accurate estimate of how long until we were rid of the rodents from our home. Anthony swung by and got rid of any trapped animals quickly after they were caught and the whole experience was hassle-free. read more

We had squirrels under our tile roof. Apparently, tile roofs are an invitation for animals to nest there. Anthony was able to come for inspection extremely fast (and on a Saturday). He described the situation and our options very clearly and honestly. Based on his advice, we opted not to catch them (and a dozen others) at this point of time. Also, he did not charge anything for this service. If we have any critter problems in the future, we shall definitely choose Animal Trapping Services. Excellent service and professionalism! read more

We had critters everywhere around our Los Altos home - chewing on roof tiles, patio furniture and our young plants, some of which were never destroyed before. And, because of nearby construction we suddenly had gophers and moles. We tried everything, then called ATS. Within 10 days we had reduced the squirrels by 80% and also trapped 4 rats and 2 skunks, one of which was trapped near our patio door which we occasionally left open. Yes, it seems upsetting to some people to destroy these animals, but the ones left are happier and have more of their natural foods to eat. A win win for all. Very reliable and the 7 day service is amazingly good. They also let you know when you are on the schedule for a pick up - which is often. I highly recommend this company to solve your pest problems. They will keep at it until it's done! read more

We had a family of raccoons living in a cubby hole on our roof and the Animal Trapping Services put out some raccoon repellent for us. And the very next day, mommy and baby raccoons all move out and the problem is gone! read more

They are the best! Karen and her crew were prompt, extremely friendly and courteous. I thought the damage to my garden was skunks however it turned out to be a whole heard of raccoons. They came out Sunday morning and finished trapping all the "offenders" the same week. I have used other companies and none of them compare to the service I received from Animal Trapping Services. I highly recommend Karen and her crew. read more

I called this service in a panic ,because didn't know if the snake in the yard was a rattlesnake, or garter snake. This was on a Saturday , and they were completely booked. The man on the phone was extremely helpful. i sent him some pictures , and he immediately called me back with the information, it was not a rattlesnake. Fantastic response and help ,when all the other services were closed. i would highly recommend them, and they also gave me some other ideas for critters eating my citrus. Wish more companies were like this!!!!!!! ed swartz los gatos, ca. read more

Incredible service. Will completed a thorough inspection of our crawl space and identified the problem. I am so thankful for their flexibility around my work schedule and prompt scheduling. read more

If you have a rodent problem, I would highly recommend Animal Trapping Services. My office had a peculiar odor that I thought was a decomposed animal in the crawl space. I was recommended to this company from another similar company because that company was booked for two weeks. Was I lucky. They were professional and honest from the initial phone call with Karen, the co-owner, to the time the field agent Will finished the inspection. Fortunately, nothing was found. When I initially spoke to Karen, she was friendly and helpful, explaining the possible scenarios. Having been in the business for over 15 years, she knew what she was taking about and didn't try to alarm me into thinking I needed the Cadillac treatment. Will was just as ethical, thoroughly inspecting our office without doing any unnecessary work. If you ever need help with rodent problems, hands down, this is the place to call. You can trust them. read more

Karen and Anthony (the owners) are the best. Recommended to me by my pest control company and boy were they right on the money! Saw a skunk on our front porch in San Jose CA. Contacted Animal Trapping Services and Anthony captured 4 in as many days. Terrific people to work with. Anthony came daily to check the traps. I actually hope I don't need them again but I will highly recommend to anyone who does. read more

We got a bad smell in the house for about a week that I couldn't stand anymore. After narrowing it down to a dead animal under the house, I called a lot of pest control companies to have it removed (as we couldn't access it ourselves). Between the ones that don't do this kind of service, the one that do but need a yearly contract and the ones that were booked for the next few weeks, I was given Animal Trapping Service name by another company. I called Karen and she gave me an appointment for the next day. Anthony came and was very friendly, he kept me informed several times and although he couldn't fit in our trap door, he came back 3 hours later with a colleague that went under the house and removed a dead opossum. They were very friendly and efficient. They saved my sanity! Highly recommend them. read more

I received a recommendation for this company from another that was not available. I had heard roof rats. I was told the employee would go into the attic, crawl space and check around the house. Based on my conversation with the scheduler, I was expecting an estimate for repairing the detected entry points and an estimate for setting and clearing traps. The person who came out walked around the outside of my house and indicted where traps should be set. Not at all the level of service I was expecting. I am very disappointed. read more
