Iowa Wildlife Control

We have used Mike a couple times now. He has been responsive, prompt and professional. Will definitely work with this company again.

I had to use their services at both the business where I work and my home. He did great job and guarantees his work. After doing such a great job at the business used them for the bats at my own home. Got rid of them and returned when I needed him to. Very much recommend!

Review of Mike DiSalvo of Iowa Wildlife Control.n- Not Recommended - (No Stars if possible)nWe had a family of raccoons living under our sunroom, so we called Mike and he came right out and said he would get rid of them for $200. He had to be paid up front. The total came to $263.65 because he added on a trip charge and tax. We paid him and he sprayed male raccoon urine around the entrance that they were getting in, and left. After a few days, it was apparent that they were still there so, I tried for several days to contact him to do something, he finally came back 3 weeks later. He arrived late in the evening with a Karaoke machine that blasted a recording of raccoons fighting! Very loud! Neighbors were wondering what the hell… all the dogs in the neighborhood were barking. It was ridiculous. He said give it a few days and then block the hole. After a few days, it appeared to have worked, so I plugged the hole. Then the next day we could still hear at least one still under the room. So, I didn’t want it to die under there, so I opened the hole back up so it could also get out. After several tries to call Mike, I finally got him several days later. He said he’d come out with some traps. 2 more weeks go by and he hasn’t shown. I was tired of screwing around, after several more tries , got ahold of him and told him to just give my money back and I would find someone who could actually get the job done. He said he had been real busy and would return my money and then hung up on me. He has never returned our payment. He couldn’t do the job after nearly two months. Save yourself some time and money and go elsewhere.

I called about an Opossum that was hiding in the garage and wouldn’t scare away. He came within an hour and picked her up and put her in a cage to transport her to a safe location. She had babies in her pouch. He let my son see her with a quick educational story.

I also would give 0 stars if I could. This June we had a raccoon removal in Ames. Mike presented this removal as a 3, or more, step process (male raccoon urine, then 2 days later cover the hole with tape, then the next day cover the hole in our dormer with plywood) at a cost of $200, which he insisted be paid up front.nnMore than a week later, only the first step had been done. We didn't know if the raccoon was still in there (or if anything else had moved in) not to mention that we still had a hole in the siding and outside wall of our dormer, after having paid in full for the entire job.nWe tried contacting Mike; an email and several texts went unanswered. My husband was eventually able to speak to him on the phone about completing the job or refunding our payment, but Mike yelled at him and then hung up on him.nI would highly recommend that you find someone else in Story County to take care of any wildlife pest needs!
