PAY SERVICE: EG Wildlife Removal: 973-272-4133

EG Wildlife Removal is a private wildlife control business that charges for critter removal in Elizabeth. EG Wildlife Removal is available 24-7-365 and provides same-day wildlife removal services, including the removal of animals inside attics, rodent removal, and more.



If you have an animal problem and need assistance, there are several free animal control resources in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The first thing you can try is your local Union County animal services, or the free Elizabeth animal control services by calling 908-820-4242. They may be able to help you with your critter problem, and possibly offer free raccoon removal or free snake removal. But they primarily deal with dogs and cats, and might not help with wildlife. For wildlife-specifice issues, try the New Jersey Wildlife Commission at 609-292-6685. They do free wildlife control in Elizabeth and all of New Jersey. But they often deal with special cases like bears, or illegal hunting. They might not help you with specific cases in your house, like free rodent control or free squirrel removal. At a more local level, you can call Elizabeth Wildlife Rehabilitation at (908) 730-8300 for local free animal removal and trapping, and they may help with providing free critter removal in Elizabeth. But this organization, like all wildlife rehab, mostly focuses on healing and caring for sick or injured wildlife. There's no business that provides free pest control in Elizabeth that will remove wild animals that I know of, like free bat control or free rat removal. Sometimes, for a case of animals in an attic, or wildlife problems on private property, you need to hire and pay for wildlife removal, and if so, I recommend EG Wildlife Removal at 973-272-4133. Some people wonder if animal control costs money, or how much does animal removal cost. For that, call 973-272-4133 and ask. Of course, you can be sure to get free pest wildlife removal if you solve the problem yourself, so read my Do-It-Yourself page for more hints. Finally, you can call the local Elizabeth police department. Click here for Elizabeth police department animal removal and for a short explanation.

Elizabeth wildlife issues:

Difficult travel conditions and greater visibility in the more open suburban neighborhood force the successful nuisance wildlife control professional to use glasses for spotting nuisance Elizabeth critters at a distance, and long-range steel box traps equipped with telescope sights are needed in order to capture nuisance wildlife which are often in, or across, ravines where any chance of a close approach would be almost impossible. Similar conditions exist in the open, near desert country of the southwest where most of the pest critter will be found in the neighborhood-filled ravines and cover for successful animal tracking is almost nonexistent. I have heard that the use of sticks or teeth to simulate the noise of a fight between two Elizabeth pest animals has been successful in attracting nuisance wildlife to pest control operators along the Mexican border.

This may be successful in that area as nuisance wildlife act differently in different sections of the country, but I doubt the effectiveness of this action in the northeast. Most of my removing unwanted wildlife has been done in this area and I have been fortunate enough to be a spectator at several pest animal fights. I have also examined the arena where other such contests have taken place and I have never seen any evidence to show that other nuisance wildlife were attracted to, or showed any interest in, these fights. If this is so, it would seem to be a waste of time to try to attract nuisance wildlife by such a noise. I have never used any of the pest critter calls that are on the market. I have been quite successful in bagging my nuisance wildlife without the aid of such a call and I would have to be convinced of their effectiveness before I would buy one. Perhaps I have been missing an aid to removing unwanted Elizabeth wildlife enjoyment by not trying them. I know that most animals can be attracted by some sort of a noise, and the fact that I have never called a conflict animal is not proof that they cannot be called.

I know that the cry of a fawn will call a raccoon during the summer months, yet I have never heard this call in the removing unwanted wildlife time of year. The fawns are large enough to be on their own currently and the raccoon has other things on her mind. I have halted running nuisance wildlife by imitating the cry of a fawn, but I have also stopped them by making other sounds. I have found that if a conflict animal hears any sound that it cannot immediately locate and identify, it will stop and make sure that it is not heading into danger. I have never heard an uninjured nuisance Elizabeth wildlife make any vocal sound during the removing unwanted wildlife time of year except the sound made by startled nuisance wildlife. This sound (more nasal than vocal) seems to be more of a warning to other nuisance wildlife than a challenge to combat. One evening I was traveling a neighborhood that was located near the foot of a beech ridge which was the feeding ground of at least a hundred nuisance wildlife. Across the neighborhood from this ridge was the daytime bedding ground for these same nuisance wildlife.
