We hired Wildlife Management Services (WMS) to address a mouse issue in our attic. While their…read morerodenticide treatment initially appeared effective, it ultimately created a much larger and more costly problem. WMS uses bait stations but does not return to remove the dead rodents or the bait itself. As a result, the rodents left behind in our attic became a food source for carpet beetle larvae. This led to a carpet beetle infestation that has since spread into our home. A reputable pest control company confirmed this outcome, noting that it can take up to two years to surface, which aligns with our experience. After multiple treatments, we've been advised that the only way to fully resolve the issue is to eliminate the larvae source by completely removing and replacing the attic insulation--an extremely expensive solution. When I contacted WMS to share this outcome so they could be aware and potentially adjust their practices, the manager dismissed the concern and was unwilling to engage in a constructive conversation. When she asked what I expected them to do and I suggested they educate themselves on this risk, she ended the call. I called back, assuming we had been disconnected, but she hung up again. Based on both the service outcome and the lack of accountability and professionalism, I would not recommend this company.

The specialist they sent out was great and he explained what he was going to do and what the expected outcome was. Within 30 minutes, he'd finished up and was gone.

*Update: The general manager contacted me soon after this…read moreencounter. He was upfront and honest about the reasons they canceled: Covid-19 and a crew accident left them short-handed, and he also confirmed there were safety concerns with North Minneapolis (interesting their staff was on their way when they canceled...seems those safety concerns were more the issue than being short handed). I offered to reschedule so the chaos could cool off and he said he would only reschedule if I agreed to take down my reviews - I told him I'd absolutely modify my reviews if he assured me that the blatant lying of his employee was addressed. I have not heard back in over a week. Do with this what you will, but I will not be working with them in the future. Please note that I was fully refunded.* I do not recommend - this company red zones areas they don't want to work in, then will lie to your face about it and hang up on you if you express your opinion on their behavior. Don't support them; take your business to a company that respects the community they serve and has more than a modicum of ethics. BEAST Wildlife Solutions canceled an appointment for attic inspection that had been paid for and on the books for a month. I received the cancelation call after getting a call from their inspector, and within 30 minutes of the inspector's supposed arrival time. They offered two excuses. The first was that "we've been considering a policy for several months to not do work in your zip code, as the homes are too old and require too much work to address wildlife issues." The second was "we didn't realize where you were located when we made the appointment." Both of these are at very best partial truths, if not flat out lies. They knew exactly where I was located when they scheduled the appointment AND when they took my credit card information for payment - they even looked up work they'd done for my neighbor (and told me exactly how much my neighbor had spent on their services..which seemed questionable at the time). This is blatant zip code discrimination, likely due to the tragedies experienced in my community over the last week associated with the George Floyd protests. Let me clarify: I don't believe they've done anything illegal. But, they absolutely are willing to lie to you and will do it with a smile on their face. In my opinion, businesses that discriminate blatantly do not belong in our city. Hopefully this review pushes a few paying customers (all would be awesome!) to more ethical, responsible, and worthwhile options.

He was quick to respond and asked good questions about the situation so that he would be prepared. He was able to come out the same day and constructed a custom trapping platform on our garage for the racoons. When we discovered that there was an additional racoon family member, he came back to our place quickly and set up additional traps. He charged us a flat fee for the racoons removal and did not ask for additional payments, even when there were more animals than we realized. He also made sure to cover up the opening in our garage afterwards so that future animals would not be able to access the area. We also appreciate that he does not euthanize the animals he traps, and has access to land in Hastings where he can legally release them. Overall we were really impressed with his service and willingness to be flexible as the situation played out.

Tuesday afternoon, Nick & son arrives and he sets up his ladders and starts addressing the entry points. Within minutes, he finds the entry point into our roof. And he finds the squirrel and its babies! The squirrel gets away. Nick addresses the potential entry points, and based on his experience, sets a trap for the squirrel by the entry point for its nest and a remote camera. Nick packs up to go and starts driving away. Within minutes, Nick sees on his remote camera that the squirrel is in the trap. Job done!
