Professional Wildlife Trapping & Animal Removal

Are nuisance animals causing problems around your home or business? Love’s Pest Pros provides professional wildlife trapping and humane animal removal services across Southwest Missouri. Nuisance wildlife such as raccoons, skunks, armadillos, and opossums can cause significant property damage when they search for food, shelter, or nesting areas around homes and buildings.

Wildlife activity often leads to digging in lawns, burrowing under decks or sheds, overturned trash containers, and damage to crawl spaces or outdoor structures. In addition to property damage, many wild animals carry parasites such as fleas and ticks and may pose health risks to people and pets.

Common signs of wildlife activity include digging in lawns or flower beds, burrows under structures, nighttime scratching or movement around buildings, strong odors from animals like skunks, and disturbed trash containers.

Comprehensive Wildlife Control Services Tailored to Your Area

How Wildlife Trapping Works

Wildlife removal requires a careful and humane approach that protects both your property and the animals involved. At Love’s Pest Pros, we help implement wildlife control solutions designed to remove nuisance animals and reduce the risk of future problems.

Humane Wildlife Trapping

Professional live traps are placed in areas where nuisance animals are actively traveling or nesting. These traps safely capture animals without causing harm.

Wildlife commonly removed through trapping includes:

• raccoons
• skunks
• armadillos
• opossums
• other nuisance wildlife species

Captured animals are handled according to Missouri wildlife regulations and transferred through professional wildlife specialists when relocation is required.

Property Inspection & Activity Identification

Every wildlife situation begins with an inspection to identify:

• wildlife entry points
• burrows or nesting locations
• food sources attracting animals
• structural vulnerabilities around buildings

Understanding animal behavior helps ensure traps are placed effectively.

Exclusion & Prevention Guidance

Removing the animal is only part of the solution. Our technicians help identify steps that can reduce future wildlife problems, including:

• sealing openings under decks or structures
• securing garbage containers
• eliminating food sources
• repairing fencing or barriers

These prevention measures help keep wildlife from returning.

Preferred Wildlife Control Partners

Some wildlife situations require specialized equipment, relocation permits, or advanced wildlife handling. In those cases, Love’s Pest Pros works with trusted wildlife control partners who specialize in nuisance wildlife removal.

This partnership ensures that every wildlife situation is handled safely, humanely, and in accordance with Missouri regulations.
