The Importance of Prompt Professional Attention

Why?
- There are many safety risks associated with animal removal, from falling when trying to reach a high elevation, to potential bites from the animal in question. Even a scratch that occurs from trying to remove wildlife from your home can be detrimental to your health and possibly deadly.

Animals We Remove
One of Stryker Pest Control's primary areas of expertise is animal removal and control.
Animal removal can be a delicate process requiring expert, experienced, and professional attention. Below you will find a list of pests that we provide our services for:
Raccoon Removal
Raccoons are medium-sized mammals that are usually 2–3 feet long and weigh 10–30 pounds. They are easily recognized by the distinctive black “mask” over their eyes and a black-and-gray ringed tail.
Raccoons can transmit rabies, canine distemper, and parvovirus to domestic animals and humans. They can also cause significant damage to homes and properties by building dens in attics, chimneys, or walls. Our Stryker team is trained to remove raccoons and prevent future infestations safely.
Groundhog Removal
Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, are large rodents known for their digging habits and are commonly found across North America. Their head is broad and flat, with small ears and eyes. Their coarse fur is usually grizzled grayish brown with a reddish cast, while their legs and feet are typically dark brown to black—well suited for their burrowing lifestyle.
Due to their burrowing, groundhogs can cause significant damage to gardens, landscaping, and building foundations. If you suspect a groundhog problem on your property, it’s important to contact professionals like Stryker Pest Control for safe and humane removal services.
Snake Removal in Ohio
Ohio is home to several species of snakes, making snake control a vital part of wildlife management in the state. Among the twenty-five species residing in Ohio, three are venomous: the eastern massasauga rattlesnake (Sistrurus catenatus), the northern copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix), and the timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus).
At Stryker Pest Control, we specialize in the safe and humane removal of snakes, including the delicate task of dealing with Ohio's venomous species. Our team is trained to identify and manage these reptiles while caring for both the animals and the environment, ensuring safety for our clients and preserving local wildlife.
Opossum
The opossum is a whitish or grayish animal the size of a house cat with a naked, rat-like tail. Its face is long and pointed with rounded, hairless ears. The opossum grows up to 40 inches long and can weigh up to 14 pounds. The average is 6 to 7 pounds for males and 4 pounds for females. Its tracks look like they were made by little human or monkey hands.
These animals are known for their "playing possum" behavior, where they act as if they are dead when threatened. While typically not aggressive, opossums can still cause damage to homes by nesting in attics and basements. Our team at Stryker is equipped with the skills and knowledge to remove these creatures from your property safely.
Skunk
Two kinds of skunks may become pests. The striped skunk and the spotted skunk. The striped skunk is about the size of a large house cat and has two broad white stripes running from the back of the head to the large, bushy tail. Spotted skunks are about half that size, with four irregular stripes beginning behind the eyes and below the ears.
Skunks can not only damage your property, but they can also produce a strong-smelling odor that can be difficult to get rid of. Our Stryker team is trained in safe and effective methods for removing skunks from your property without harming the animals or causing unnecessary disruption.
Squirrels
There are many types of squirrels. Tree squirrels are found in forest areas throughout most of the United States.
The common species that become pests are the gray squirrel, red squirrel, flying squirrel, and fox squirrel. Tree squirrels usually build their nest in trees. They also may store food and find shelter in attics and garages. One of the primary ways squirrels become pests is by scrambling around and crutching inside attics and wall voids. Our team at Stryker Pest Control is trained to safely remove these critters and protect your home from future infestations.
