My name is Tony. I called Dave Scifres of Peoria Wildlife Animal Control this past Tuesday, April…read more20, about the skunk who had taken residence under my Deck. He did a good job of informing me and my wife of the trapping process, and reassured us that he had years of experience and had the proper credentials and certification to capture and remove the Skunk. The week before, the skunk had sprayed under the deck and the odor permeated the entire house, UGGH, so we were highly motivated to take care of this problem. And I informed my wife, I definitely wasn't planning to catch the skunk by myself. Dave promised to come by at 3 pm on Wednesday, and true to his word, he showed up, and meticulously set up three traps at the possible access points, digging holes slightly deeper at the three suspected access holes to accommodate the traps, and blocking off the holes so that the skunk would have no other choice but to enter or exit thru the traps. Thursday morning, my wife texted me at work, and excitedly told me that the traps caught not one, but THREE skunks, all female, and all pregnant! I texted the good news to Dave, and he texted back that he would come over at noon that day to remove the animals. He informed my wife that if these skunks had given birth, the average litter size is 4 babies. Think of that, if we had not hired Dave when we did, and delayed calling him, we most likely would be dealing with not three skunks, but FIFTEEN skunks under our deck. If you are dealing with a skunk problem, I encourage you to call the professional, Dave, his fees are reasonable, and he will take care of your problem once and for all!

Our dogs are small and they knew that. Our dogs could get cut bc once something was stuck inside they would mess with the traps. I immediately took the traps out the ground. Called critter control to pick them up and cancel service. They put snake repellent down that costs $20 a bag or so and charged me $524. I've emailed and called several times because the consultant said they would refund my money. Thus was 05/20/26 and as of 06/02/26 no response for any managers, consultants or others reference the refund and no credit. This business is the worst and I basically got ripped off.
