What Equipment Do You Use to Trap a Wild Animal?

We use trapping, venting, block outs, snaring, and sometimes hidden cameras.

What Do You Do With the Animals You Trap?

Sometimes we are able to relocate the animal at a minimum of 10 miles from the property.  However, in most scenarios, we are required to follow local animal removal ordinances.

What Should I Do if There is A Wild Animal in My Home Right Now?

It is HIGHLY dangerous and risky to attempt to remove a wild animal on your own without the necessary equipment and experience. It is recommended that you immediately pick up the phone and call us at 317-875-3099, and allow a professional to safely and humanely remove the animal nuisance.

Will a Bat Attack Me in My Home?

Bats are actually peaceful and conservative mammals. They prefer to keep to themselves.  They are not likely to attack you or your pets, but can cause structural damages to your home if not removed quickly. Call one our trappers for more information on bat removal assistance.

Will Wild Animals Leave Diseases in My Home?

Wild animals are stereo-typed as being dirty critters, but are in fact pretty clean, and bathe themselves regularly. So no, they are not likely to leave behind diseases, but they can pose quite the unhygienic mess, like parasites, mites, lice, gnats, droppings, rotted food, dead insects, and more.

Will Wild Animals Transmit Rabies?

The rumor of wild animals and rabies is also stretched. The truth is, less than 1% of wild animals have rabies. Rabies is a virus that any mammal can contract or carry.  Wild animals may get rabies, but it is more likely to get bitten by a rabid dog or cat, than a wild animal.  However, the quicker you remove the animal problem, the safer you are from potential health risks.

Do You Use Poisons to Capture and Remove Wild Animals?

Absolutely not! Poisons are never the answer to wildlife control; not even for mice or rats!  Poisons are inhumane, and rather than solving the problem, they will only prolong it. Here at Budget Animal Removal, we use the latest technologies and proven scientific strategies to provide our services, safely and humanely, without harming or killing animals.

Which Animals Do You Not Provide Service For?

We do not work with waterfowl, such as geese, ducks, swans, and herons, nor dogs, cats and other domesticated animals. If you are ever in doubt about an animal, just give us a call at 317-875-3099 and talk to a DNR licensed wildlife specialist for help.

What Do You Do With The Animals You Trap And Remove?

After animals are extracted from a property, those that are suspected of illness are sent to a lab to be tested for Rabies. Following testing, healthy animals are released back into nature in a faraway habitat (at least 10 miles) where they can live out the remainder of their lives in peace and harmony. However, in most cases, our DNR licensed and insured wildlife abatement specialists are required to follow the local animal removal ordinances.

Will a Bat in the House Attack Us?

Bats are timid and cautious mammals. They prefer to keep to themselves, and are more afraid of you than you are of them. They will usually steer clear of humans and other animals, but there are exceptions. If you provoke or scare a bat, they could attack in self-defense. Also, if a mother bat is protecting her young, she could retaliate against any suspected threats.And last, if a bat is sick or infected, they could demonstrate erratic and aggressive behaviors. These are just more reasons why you should NEVER attempt to remove a wild animal on your own.

Do Wild Animals Have Diseases?

All mammals are capable of being carriers or transmitters of infectious or contagious diseases. Animals like bats and raccoons are known carriers of the Rabies virus and other common transmissible illnesses. Aside from disease, wildlife infestations in the home can lead to various health implications for both humans and pets. Furthermore, they can bring pests into the home, like lice, mites, and gnats. And when they are infesting an inner area of your home, you can expect it to be a highly unhygienic environment.
