Emily Hedrick
I had something that died somewhere in my work studio that STUNK. I needed help asap as I couldn’t have clients exposed to that rancid smell. I called David in the very late afternoon and he was there at 7am next morning. After he treated the studio the smell dissipated quickly enough where I could take clients again the following day. He offered to come back and treat again if I could still smell anything which I thought was awesome. Now two days after treatment there is virtually zero smell and I am so grateful for the prompt service, solid communication and overall great customer service. Highly recommend!!

Great guy that really knows how to solve the problem. Caught and relocated the raccoon and just as importantly sealed all openings to prevent further intrusion by any other critters. Could not say enough good things about Dave to do him justice. Timely, professional and good value for the $. 👍👍👍👍👍

So this review is long overdue. You should hire David for your vermin problem. He was working on my home during the time of Hurricane Helene and Milton and still manage to eridicate my vermin problem, even as we were all prepping, recovering and prepping again for the storms. My issue was fixed by David then and is still fixed. Long term results!! Affordable....best quote I received. He was communicative via text (my choice) and was able to return as needed during the clear out process. A much overdue thank you!!

I cannot speak highly enough of The Trapper Guy! Dave is very responsive and extremely thorough in establishing where the noises are coming from and what is making the them. We have had him out three different times over the years. He has always located and removed the problem, making multiple visits to ensure success. He has also repaired the access point. His pricing is fair and he doesn’t play games with upselling and trying to get you to sign a contract for monthly visits which aren’t needed since he fixes the problem. He warranties his service. I am in no way related to or associated with Dave other than through the use of his business.

I have been so lucky to find David to help me with my attic "noises." I have rarely met someone so professional, dedicated and thorough in his job. He had to make several visits to my house and trap and relocate a raccoon, making sure that no more raccoons would be trapped in the attic when the entrance was secured. Then he set rat traps and sprayed the attic. Dave is also kind and personable. Thank you -- I hope never to need him again, but if you do...do not hesitate to call him!

Very unprofessional to not respond to an inquiry even if to say no. Luckily, we found a great company who took care of the issue right away.

Sorry I missed your inquiry.
Deborah Phillips
Simply put, Dave is amazing! I contacted The Trapper Guy because I had a colony of bats in my attic. We were under mating season restrictions so Dave had to address my service in two parts. To start, he secured entry points against any potential rat activity and those not being used by bats. Once the restriction was lifted, he was here next day to finalize it all. I am happily bat free and recommend Dave for any wildlife issues you may have. He’s great to work with, shares his experiences and knowledge, and leaves you with the guarantee of a job well done. Thanks Dave!!!

Steve Jones
We needed an animal removal service in Clearwater. Seems something died under our mobile home. We called a few animal removal services before going with Dave, The Trapper Guy. He seemed the most reasonable. He was out the next day. Super nice guy and took care of our problem. A little misunderstanding on the quote but all was good. he took care of us. 5 Stars!

Dave is the best in the business. He responds very quickly to remove the critters from the attic, and makes sure all entry points are sealed to prevent future problems. Dave is very courteous and explains everything he will do and what to expect. I highly recommend!

Brenda Valen
Dave The Trapper Guy is great. He helped us secure our home after having a family of racoons in our attic around 9 months ago. I recently had him come by after I thought I heard something up there to give us a good check. Everything he had done previously was still intact and secure...no sign of entry which I was very glad to hear. I'm very happy to have someone I can depend on to help us keep the critters outside where they belong. Thank you Dave!
Provider response
Your very welcome. Glad I could help you with your raccoon problem!
Joe S
I had an animal get under the house and into the vapor barrier. I called The Trapper Guy, and David responded the same day. He gave me several options and even came up with a cheaper plan. He made sure the skirting around my house was good so no other animals could get into it. He then set a trap. The next day Mr. Possum was in the trap. David sent a co-worker out to get the trap and too close the opening. David and his team did a great job, I would not hesitate to call him again! A+++ company!
Provider response
Thank you for letting me help you with your opossum problem!

Dave gave us great advice on what to do and how to be patient to get a squirrel out of our lanai who was petrified and clung to the top of the screen. it worked and the squirrel was gone the next morning! We greatly appreciate his advice as I'm sure the squirrel did!

Glad I could help both you...and the squirrel!

Dave is a great guy, terrific customer service, and a great value for services provided. We had a raccoon visiting our pool and making a huge mess in the back yard.

Meridith Holroyd
Dave is amazing! He's knowledgeable and extremely kind. He came to our house within 2 hours of our phone conversation and less than24 hours later was back to get the raccoon. He takes the animals to a wildlife area where they can be free to be themselves. I highly recommend Dave.
Provider response

Dave was very professional, fixed our critter issue, and seal up the house! Was half the price of the competitor. Always called before coming over and if he got held up would send a text. 100% would recommend to anyone in the Tampa Bay area that has any rodent problems.

I could hear some critters up in my attic but couldn't figure out how they were getting in. Called The Trapper Guy and in a matter of minutes he figured out the problem and had the holes plugged up. I highly recommend him...

Anita Welch
Dave first came by to handle a rat situation around my house. He methodically and quickly closed up any route into my house. He is easy to talk to, goes the extra mile and cares about the quality of his work - which I find to be rare these days. Later on a big raccoon made a burrow in my soffit. I called Dave and he humanely trapped the guy and relocated him to a nearby park preserve. I as glad the raccoon was not harmed and that Dave was able to repair the soffit and get the animal smell out. I highly recommend Dave the Trapper guy!
Provider response
Thank you for letting me help you with your critter problems! Actually the raccoon went to some private property next to a preserve. :)
