For several years we had starlings nesting between the roof and the ceiling of our screen porch…read more  We could see them go in and out the hole carrying nest making material and leaving droppings on the side of the porch all summer.  The porch ceiling was high and we could never find anyone willing to deal with the issue.  Greg Logan from Wildlife & Waterfowl came out and fixed the problem.  Unbeknownst to us the starlings entrance was near a bathroom vent and they had set up camp in the vent.  He also found woodpecker holes they were using to access the area.  He covered the woodpecker holes, put a plastic basket (looks like a strawberry basket) over the vent and then attached two woodpecker deterrents to the porch.  On his advice we had three other vents protected with the same plastic basket.  The starlings examined the basket over their vent a few times and gave up.  Problem solved.  Greg is a professional wildlife biologist - competent and courteous. His website contains excellent info about pesky bats, skunks, raccoons, starlings and every other kind of critter that would like to make your home their home. We would definitely call him again for any bird or wildlife problem and highly recommend him.

Recently had a situation where an unknown animal was constantly excavating under my front door…read morestoop. The excavation was large enough to indicate a larger creature was burrowing, which led me to contact Greg. He responded promptly and came out to investigate. In addition to looking at the stoop, he also took the time to look around the house to see if other activity was occurring that could be a concern. Set the trap and explained that he will come out every morning to check, which was comforting knowing that a trapped animal won't be left there for an extended period of time. After a week, there was no animal in the trap. We both agreed to have screening installed around the stoop to prevent any additional burrowing. Screen was installed quickly, and to be sure that the stoop was vacant of creatures, Greg placed a smaller trap before closing up the screen the next day. Overall a excellent experience. Will call again for future animal issues.

They handle the animals completely humanely, returning them to their wild habitats, far enough away from human homes. Pricing is extremely reasonable. They captured four raccoons that had been breaking into our attic all winter. It only took two days to catch them all. They left the traps a few more days, to be sure, and caught a possum as a bonus! It was an entirely great experience having them rid our home of these invaders and we are sleeping so much better now! Thank you!!

Joe & Nick were great!…read more Tactical Wildlife Control came out after I saw a squirrel attempting to make a nest in the soffit after part of the fascia pulled away after the wind storm. Joe ensured that there weren't any squirrels in the soffit and nailed the fascia. I scheduled an appointment to have the area cleaned and sanitized. Nick came out a couple of days later and performed the service. Everyone at Tactical Wildlife has been professional and courteous. It is hard to find a company in the service industry with these values. I highly recommend them.

I have not given a bad review in a long time but this company needs some improvement. I was greeted…read morewith a phone call that was rude, cold and non compliant to a simple request for a quote. It was stated that they didn't have time for a eletronic quote for the insurance company and gave a verbal quote instead. They refused a physical type quote stating they were out in the field and would not provide a email quote. No time. Amazing to most people is the fact that you can send any type of file on ANY phone. My thoughts are that if you can't do what is required by insurance companies and refuse a quick email quote, I don't have time for giving my business to a very unprofessional person nor consider hiring All Wildlife Animal Eviction. My advise is to go elsewhere.

Valpo location - When we called for a quote to remove a bird from our dryer vent, we were quoted…read more$90 to come out and they couldn't provide total cost until they come out and see what is going on. Fair enough. When they arrived, they opened the dryer vent cover and one bird flew out. They removed some debris and put on a plastic covering to prevent future entry of birds. After about 10 mins to complete the job, the final charge was an additional whopping $798 ($299 for bird removal and $499 to install two covers). They took off the $90 inspection fee. And after negotiating the final charge was $579. Definitely overpriced compared to competitors. Other quotes from my neighbors were $300 -400.
