EXCELLENT Based on 41 reviews Tony Jacobson2024-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing service! Caught two skunks for me. Great communication even came to check the traps daily. Definitely plan to use them again if I ever have another wildlife issue. Natalie Johnson2024-05-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bryan was super responsive, friendly, and reasonably priced! I was fairly stressed about the grackle suddenly living in my basement and he solved the problem QUICKLY (exactly one hour after I called)! It was an ideal outcome for a not so pleasant situation. Big thanks!! Tamara Zeidan2023-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. my dog got sprayed a little over a week ago i called stone river wildlife and immediately he was able to come out and set traps out, After a failed attempt of trying to catch the skunk and getting raccoons instead he came back out right away to replace the traps within the next few days the skunk was finally caught. i highly recommend!

Stone River addressed the issue faster than I thought possible. Committed to getting the job done right. Great service; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Carol Lilyquist2023-06-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bryan is the KING!! Brittany Robb2021-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don't wish a pest problem on anyone, except for the fact that the poor soul would have the absolute pleasure of meeting Bryan (and maybe even a guest appearance by Stone)!! Everything about the way this business is run is top notch. From the nearly instant response time to email and phone calls, to thoughtful, humane removal (and relocation when appropriate) of nuisance, unwanted house and yard guests, to follow through ensuring all is well, these guys know how to do it right. THANK YOU to Stone River Wildlife Control for your excellent, kind service!! Brad Smith2021-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Stone River based on the Google reviews for a bat problem that we had. We had bats in the attic and a couple that made their way in to the house. Bryan and his son arrived at our home and were immediately able to identify all of the access points. They filled them and installed cones so the bats could get out but not back in. Bryan was very informative about what we could expect in the next 2 weeks while we waited for all of the bats to exit. After about a week and a half we were bat free. Bryan arrived back at our home without us having to call him, removed the cones and filled in the holes. If you're looking for someone that actually cares about what they're doing this is your guy. I would hire Stone River again in a heart beat and would have no 2nd thoughts about recommending them to family and friends.

Eek! Then skunks started waking me up at night. Then Bryan of Stone River became my hero and got rid of everything! Thank you! Alexa Byrnes2021-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely reccomend these guys! Insanely personable, helpful and most importantly were at the house within the hour! Fantastic service and a succesful catch and release! Sarah Ramos2021-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are reading this and questioning if you should call Stone River or not, just do it. You won’t be disappointed. In June, I was totally horrified as I watched a skunk go under my shed, and then baby after baby crawl out. Stone River Wildlife Control was the first name that popped up on my Google search, so I sent an email (it was after hours); within a few minutes, Brian called me back. I explained the clown car action under our shed and he said he would come out set some traps. Get this, he came out the next day! You guys, it was a Sunday! The mother skunk was caught the first day and that started our relationship with Brian. Seriously, I cannot rave about him enough. As of today, he has captured 22, maybe 25, I’ve honestly lost count, but he’s still trapping. I am certain that all the neighborhood skunks live here or wander through our yard… like the Oregon Trail for all the skunks. Brian works all over northern MN and WI (I’m pretty sure he works around the clock) and yet he will always swing through on his way home, sometimes he’s here twice in one day, just to check and/or reset the traps if necessary. He’s incredibly nice, very personable, and professional…he is the skunk master. I have recommended him to everyone I know!

According to Bryan Lennartson of Stone River Wildlife Control, cabins are prime real estate for animal squatters. This is especially true during spring nesting season, and again as cold temperatures approach. Wildlife pests are attracted to quiet, dry shelter and a place to rest. Pest-proofing the cabinSo how do you keep this from happening in your cabin? “Preventative maintenance is the ticket,” says Lennartson.
Many property owners attempt to handle wildlife issues on their own, but this task is often more complex than it seems. Removing wildlife requires experience, specialized tools, and a thorough understanding of the animals involved. Improper removal can lead to injuries or property damage, and there’s a risk that the wildlife animal may return.
By choosing Stone River Wildlife Control, you’re partnering with a fully licensed team that holds a Minnesota DNR Division of Enforcement permit, allowing us to provide professional wildlife control services. We adhere to MN DNR guidelines for managing intrusive animals, ensuring safe, effective, and responsible solutions.
