Humane Wildlife Removal

Trappy’s Wildlife Control

Trappy’s Wildlife Control is a fully licensed, certified, and insured family-owned business operating across Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. We specialize in the humane capture and removal of nuisance wildlife from residential and commercial properties. We handle animals in attics, crawl spaces, sheds, and decks; manage trash and dumpster area issues; provide aquatic wildlife control for beavers, muskrats, and snapping turtles; and deliver fast, safe, and ethical solutions every time. As the wildlife arm of Turf World Co. — a Maple Heights landscape company in business since 1982 — we bring four decades of local experience to every property we visit.

Common Animals We Handle

If it’s getting into your attic, raiding your garbage, or causing damage on your property, we can help. Across Greater Cleveland we regularly handle:

• Raccoons — nesting in attics, chimneys, and crawl spaces
• Squirrels — chewing through soffits and gnawing on wiring
• Skunks — denning under decks and sheds
• Groundhogs — burrowing under foundations, sheds, and patios
• Bats — colonies inside attics or behind shutters
• Opossums — in garages, garbage areas, and crawl spaces
• Beavers, muskrats & snapping turtles — aquatic wildlife in ponds, retention basins, and waterways

If you’re not sure what you’re dealing with, send us a photo or video — we can usually identify the species from droppings, tracks, or damage patterns.

How It Works

1. Inspection — we walk the property, identify the species and entry points, and assess damage.
2. Humane removal — using live traps and one-way doors, we remove animals safely without harming them.
3. Exclusion — we seal entry points so the same animals (or others) don’t come right back.
4. Cleanup & repair — droppings, nesting material, and damaged insulation are removed; chewed soffits, vents, and screens are repaired or replaced.
5. Follow-up — we check back to confirm the issue is resolved and nothing new has moved in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you licensed for wildlife removal in Ohio?
Yes. Trappy’s Wildlife Control is fully licensed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife, certified in humane capture and animal handling, and insured for both residential and commercial work.

How fast can you respond?
For most calls in the Greater Cleveland area, we can be on-site within 24–48 hours. Active emergencies — an animal trapped inside the home, a bat in a bedroom — are prioritized same-day where possible.

Do you handle dead animal removal?
Yes — including animals that died in walls, attics, or crawl spaces. We locate, remove, and decontaminate the area.

What does removal cost?
Pricing depends on species, access difficulty, number of trips required, and any exclusion or repair work. We’ll give you a clear, written quote after the inspection — no surprises.
