Stone River Wildlife Control

Your Go-To Expert

Wildlife Control Services

Stone River Wildlife Control has been your go-to expert for removing unwanted wildlife from your property or business in  Duluth, MN, and the surrounding area since 1980. Our fully licensed team, equipped with a Minnesota DNR Division of Enforcement permit, offers comprehensive solutions with professionalism and care. We are dedicated to adhering to MN DNR guidelines for effective wildlife management.

When wildlife takes residence on your property, we begin by assessing the situation and understanding your specific concerns. Using humane methods such as live traps, we capture and relocate animals to suitable environments, prioritizing their well-being while protecting your property. Additionally, our exclusion techniques prevent future intrusions, ensuring a long-term solution.

We handle various wildlife issues, including humanely removing skunks, raccoons, squirrels, woodchucks, pigeons, beavers, and deceased animals. While we do not trap bats, mice, rats, or domestic pets, you can rely on us for effective solutions for other nuisance wildlife.

Attempting to remove wildlife alone can be more complex and hazardous than it seems. Effective removal requires experience, specialized tools, and a thorough understanding of animal behavior. Insufficient removal can lead to injuries, property damage, or recurring issues without this expertise. Choosing our professional services ensures safe and effective removal while minimizing the risk of wildlife returning. For prompt assistance with your wildlife animal concerns, please text or call us at (218) 269-0944.

Humane Wildlife Relocation

At Stone River Wildlife Control, we prioritize humane techniques to manage and remove wildlife safely and ethically. Our approach includes live trapping, where animals are strategically and carefully captured without harm and relocated to appropriate environments far from your property and urban environments. Relocation helps ensure the animals thrive in a more suitable habitat while minimizing their chances of returning.

In addition to live trapping and relocation, we offer wildlife exclusion services designed to prevent future issues. Our team inspects your property to identify potential entry points and vulnerable areas where wildlife may gain access and implement exclusion strategies.

Our humane methods reflect our commitment to the welfare of the animals as well as to the safety of our clients. In cases where wildlife poses a direct health risk, such as displaying symptoms of rabies or distemper, we may need to consider humane euthanasia as a last resort. This step helps prevent the spread of diseases that could endanger humans and pets, ensuring the health and safety of everyone involved.

By using these compassionate, practical techniques, we help protect your property from wildlife intrusions while respecting the natural behaviors and well-being of the animals we encounter.
