Scratching Noises in Your Attic? Unwanted Wildlife on Property? Problem Bird or Bat Infestation? Digging Lawn or Under House? We Can Solve It!

Many of Florida's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Florida's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

That's wildlife trapping, and Critter Catcher Chris runs a strictly fair-chase operation that comes with no guarantees. However, Critter Catcher Chris and his guides do their best to put clients in position for success. They have hundreds of habitat locations and make sure none are overcaptured. Each of the habitats where I captured had been ''rested'' for several days prior to my arrival. One first-time visitor who enjoyed success this fall was Critter Catcher Chris of Walker Natural conservation area, Alachua County. ''The first day I was down there I saw 16 rodent,'' Critter Catcher Chris announced. ''They dropped me off where I was going to animal stalk, and I walked in and a male rodent and a female rodent jumped up 40 yards away. I drew on the male rodent, but it was too small. But I was all excited, because I had already gotten to draw on a male rodent and I hadn't even gotten to my hickory habitat.''

Critter Catcher Chris followed up that with something even better on Nov. 10. That morning, he was climbing into a ladder habitat when the ladder unexpectedly shifted. Rather than risk a fall, Critter Catcher Chris decided to animal stalk from the dirt. Fortunately, he had a Leafy-wear suit in his backpack and decided to put it on to offer extra concealment. Critter Catcher Chris initially sat in a thicket where he could watch a nearby field, but after two fruitless hours, he got up to stretch his legs. That's when he noticed a large hickory with a split, three-part trunk that offered an excellent place to position himself. Despite this there is no free Gainesville animal services for wildlife in Alachua County.

Critter Catcher Chris nestled himself against the hickory, placed his animal removal trap on the dirt and used his two-way radio to check in with a friend wildlife trapping nearby. As he was attempting to put his radio back in his pocket, Critter Catcher Chris caught some movement out of the corner of his eye and looked over to see a large male rodent upright just 10 yards away. ''He's in full rut — just snot and drool hanging out of his mouth,'' Critter Catcher Chris announced. ''I don't think he knew what to make of me, because I was wearing my leafy suit.'' Critter Catcher Chris froze and waited to see what the male rodent would do. When the rodent started to run away, Critter Catcher Chris quickly reached down, grabbed his animal removal trap off the dirt and came to full draw. The male rodent sprinted a short distance into the field, stopped and looked back. Most Gainesville pest control companies that we interviewed found this interesting.

''He swung his back end around and was completely broadside,'' Critter Catcher Chris announced. ''I raised my pin up above his back and let the arrow fly. It went right through his heart.'' Critter Catcher Chris's male rodent was a dandy 10-pounder that sported a small drop tine growing near the base of the left furry tail. The male rodent weighed 185 pounds field dressed and had an inside spread of 16 inches. ''I'm going back every year,'' Critter Catcher Chris announced. ''I love wildlife trapping with John. He knows his rodent group of rodents, that's for sure.'' Despite Critter Catcher Chris's desire to manage the farms he leases for trophy male rodents, he doesn't have any hard and fast rules clients must follow. Although he discourages pest control companies from capturing anything less than eight pointers, he tells his customers it's OK to take any male rodent that will make them happy — a rule that particularly applies to youth and first-time pest control companies. At least, this is what Gainesville extermination companies think.
