Located on the banks of the Grand River, Grand Rapids is 25 miles east of Lake Michigan and boasts plenty of parks, lakes, streams, and rivers. As a result, a variety of pests make the city their home. Different seasons bring about a variety of wildlife issues. Colder weather brings home invaders like mice and rats. Warmer weather brings yard dwellers like moles. Spring brings us baby squirrels and raccoons, while summer brings baby bats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"steps-cards\" aria-label=\"cards showing easy steps\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"section-intro row\">\n      <h2 class=\"section-title\">Critter Control Wildlife Removal Process<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"section-desc\">\n        <p><p>Critter Control is here for you every step of the way in the wildlife removal process.

Depending on the situation, a one-way door or excluder valve can be installed. An excluder valve works by allowing the raccoon to leave but blocks its reentry. The choice of device is largely dependent on the season and location of the raccoons on your property. Direct capture is not commonly used because raccoons are a rabies vector species. If we must trap, we place traps strategically to safely catch the raccoons and we check traps frequently, based on state laws.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Repairs\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeRepairs.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a wrench decoration logo\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Repairs<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>We provide a wide range of repair and restoration services.
