Intrepid Wildlife Services

Fantastic! Ray and Oliver are knowledgeable professionals who take pride in their work. I contacted Ray regarding squirrels which had gained entry into my roof/​attic space. We agreed upon a meeting time for the next day. I received a phone call approximately half an hour before our scheduled meeting, confirming that he was on his way. The services rendered were done so in a quick and professional manner and his pricing was very fair. Dealing with wildlife invasions is never ideal but knowing that pros like Intrepid Wildlife Services are just a call away is extremely comforting.

Intrepid is fantastic! Quick, reliable and very professional service. We’ve needed them twice (both times for a bat that got into the house). Ray came and got the bat within minutes each time. His rates are very reasonable and his service is exemplary. Also helps that he’s a great and personable guy! Really, really appreciate them!

There’s nothing quite like relaxing in your living room at the end of the day and then having your peace disturbed by two bats flying around your head. I called Ray at 130AM on a Tuesday night and he arrived within minutes. Watching him grab a bat out of the air mid-​flight was worth the price of removal alone. The second critter was trapped in the window casing, so Ray came back early the next morning to nab that one and inspect the apartment. Let’s just say I was impressed with the job well done, but also with how both professional and personable Ray was. This dude’s the real Batman in my book.

I am enormously impressed with Ray. I phoned him in November of 2012 regarding a possible mole or vole problem with my lawn. (I had suddenly found the lawn feeling
like sponge beneath my feet and had no idea what to do.) Ray arrived promptly, as scheduled, and walked the property, confirming that there were critters tunneling around, though possibly just two (as opposed to the hundreds I’d envisioned). He gave me an honest assessment of my options, with the most reasonable to wait until spring (April), as soon (so close to real winter) the critters would go farther underground, and trapping them would be much easier, and more economical, in spring. I phoned him in April, and again he arrived right on schedule. As it turns out, he determined that they were gone and that I had nothing further to worry about, at least for now. He said to feel free to phone him at any time regarding any further concerns.
Ray had already come highly recommended to me (by Garrie Pest Control, which I use for my in-​house and outside-​the-​house needs, however, they do not deal with wildlife), and what totally sold me on him was his absolute integrity. He is utterly without guile. He is honest and forthright, exceptionally knowledgeable, and wants only for the customer to get the most accurate assessment and service – even if he does not make a dime on a house call.
Though I hope I have no further wildlife concerns, I would call Ray in a heartbeat. I know that, no matter the time of day or night, he would arrive with all due haste, and
would not only remove the offender, but would also be calm and gracious throughout the process. He has earned my utmost regard.

Ray is one of the best service professionals I have ever dealt with. A squirrel had gotten into the chimney and was scratching and banging against the fireplace flue. When I called, Ray had already passed through my area but turned around and was at my house within a ½ hour of my calling. His professionalism, expertise and delightful personality made the entire experience extremely pleasant.

Straight up exeptional! Ray, the owner of Intrepid came to my house the same day I called asking for help and diagnosed me with a flying squirrel problem and gave me solutions in order to remedy my issues. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone who is seeking a wildlife service specialist, as he clearly possesses an uncanny wealth of knowledge and skill with regards to his expertise. He was thorough, and was able to explain what was going on in such a way that was easy for the untrained individual to understand, and I will call him again in the event that I need someone to help me with such issues. He did not once look at his watch or rush the situation and because he did not end up having to set traps at my home, he refused to take money. He absolutely deserved compensation for his time as he spent well over 2 hours here, but he was such a nice guy, that he helped me «on the house!» Unbelievable!!!

We found a bat in the toilet of our finished attic and called Intrepid Wildlife Services. Ray Hartley came that same evening and calmy and professionally removed the bat and investigated the possibility of a bat colony (10 – 20) which he found in the crawl space. The next day he had installed the «bat exclusion» tube after securing the entire roof of all possible entrances. Within a week, he returned to give us the «all clear». His service was excellent. He is friendly, always available for calls, and did a complete, clean and thorough job. The Health Department staff who tested the bat for rabies (thankfully non detected) said she also recommended Ray’s company highly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone with a bat or rodent problem in their home.
