Common questions
Is there a fee for calling animal control?
Your initial phone consultation to discuss wildlife concerns in Michigan is complimentary. We provide a free phone quote to assess the situation. The cost of removal depends on the species, its accessibility, and the complexity of the required services.
What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?
The '3-3-3 rule' is a general guideline for assessing a newly adopted animal's adjustment period, not a rule for wildlife control services. It suggests three days to decompress, three weeks to learn routines, and three months to feel at home. This does not apply to wild animals we remove.
