A All Animal Control of South Eastern Ohio Offers Complete Wildlife Control

No matter what the wildlife control problem, A All Animal Control of South Eastern Ohio has the knowledge of over twenty years of experience and tools to get the job done. “I will control virtually any mammal, bird or reptile, in all situations. Bats and ground moles are my specialties.”, states Steve Shaffer, President of A All Animal Control of South Eastern Ohio.
“I began trapping when I was 9 years old. Then in the late 1990’s, I began to get calls from individuals that were having difficulties with animals causing damage to homes and properties. These calls were often for animals that were out of season, in cities and towns where normal trapping is not allowed, or were for animals that were not furbearers, squirrels, bats, snakes, etcetera,” he said.
It was then that the opportunity arose to turn a talent into a full time business. “Because of these calls, I obtained an Ohio Nuisance Wild Animal Trapping Permit and started a business under the name of Steve’s Wildlife Removal. In January of 2008 I joined a National Team of Wildlife Experts to further my knowledge and training. At that time I also changed the business name to A All Animal Control of SE Ohio LLC,” Shaffer added.
Shaffer uses only humane methods of removal and exclusion. “Virtually all my methods involve the use of live traps, scare tactics and exclusions. Exclusion is the process of animal proofing the structure and either installing mechanisms to allow the animals to leave and not return or to prevent their entry in the first place,” Shaffer said. He continued, “I have a vast amount of experience in removing nuisance animals and permanently solving human/wildlife conflicts. I will solve the problem in the most humane way possible or there is no charge. I guarantee all my exclusion work and that no job is too large or small means to offer most complete wildlife service.
No matter how docile or harmless an animal might seem, there are many reasons to have an animal removed as there is no limit to damage wildlife can cause. “The reasons are many. First is the risk of contracting diseases. An animal can be infected with rabies and not show symptoms. There is also the risk of being bitten. Often homeowners will catch a non-target animal and are at a loss as to what to do with it. Each year I get calls from people catching skunks when after raccoon. In the case of squirrels for instance, ladders and other required equipment, make the job expensive and dangerous. Finally, Ohio law states you cannot just release animals into the country,” stated Shaffer.
