Turtle Removal

We provide professional trapping and humane relocation of turtles, semi-aquatic reptiles, for property owners dealing with overpopulation or aggressive species. Civilians should not attempt to handle turtles, especially snapping turtles, which can be seriously dangerous to human beings due to their notoriously strong bites, and all species may carry salmonella. Turtles, which can be omnivorous and damage gardens and fisheries, are typically not good climbers, so erecting fences and implementing other methods of exclusion usually effectively controls populations. Protect your home today by contacting our trained wildlife specialists, who have the knowledge and tools to safely and effectively eradicate these pests.

Turtles have existed as a species since prehistoric times and can live for over 100 years, possessing a shell comprised of bone covered in keratin plates that is permanently attached to their back and ribs. They inhabit grasslands, marshes, and woodlands, preferring habitats near bodies of water like ponds and rivers, and the common adult snapping turtle can be two feet long and weigh over 35 pounds. Turtles will bite and scratch when handled, and the shelled reptile has been known to enter yards and gardens in search of food such as:

• Fish, snails, and insects.
• Grasses, flowers, fruits, and other vegetation.
