BEWARE! Beau Gast is a scammer and a criminal who currently has an ongoing case against him with another wildlife company in court. His lawyers have even dropped him! Look it up online. I also will be suing him in court and have filed a police report against him. This man has been scamming people for years!! DO NOT TRUST HIM! READ EVERYTHING BELLOW CAREFULLY!
On May 2, 2025, Mr. Beau Gast, representing Humane Wildlife Control Services, LLC, arrived at my residence in Kentucky to address a raccoon issue. Upon arrival, he placed a wildlife trap in my backyard. At no point was I presented with a written contract, terms and conditions, or any form of legal documentation--either before or after the service was rendered. I was not shown any agreement, nor did I sign or consent to anything in writing.
Immediately after placing the trap, Mr. Gast demanded payment, stating it had to be made via Zelle to avoid a 5-6% fee associated with debit or credit card payments. Feeling pressured wanting the issue solved, I paid $697 via Zelle without receiving a breakdown of charges or being informed of any legal terms or conditions.
On May 3, 2025, I contacted the company and spoke with a representative named Steve. During our conversation, he admitted (a statement I recorded) that no contract had been provided or disclosed prior to payment. After researching the company further and discovering numerous negative reviews, I sent an email to the company requesting a refund and explicitly stating that I did not agree to the terms of their contract, which appeared to be heavily one-sided. I also called again, but was told by Steve never to contact them again.
Additionally, Mr. Gast has not held a valid Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator permit since February 2017. This permit is legally required in the state of Kentucky to conduct wildlife removal services. Operating without it constitutes a violation of state wildlife regulations. Mr criminal Gast come near my property again and I will call the police again! read more
