A single trap-and-remove call clears the animal that’s there right now. On a commercial property, that’s rarely the whole problem. Dumpster pads, retention ponds, loading docks, landscaped edges, and wooded borders keep producing the same conditions that drew the animal in — so within a few weeks, something else moves into the vacancy.

Trappy’s Wildlife Control offers monthly trapping and wildlife population control programs for commercial, multi-family, and municipal properties across Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. Instead of calling us every time something shows up, we work your property on a set schedule and keep the population down before it becomes a tenant complaint, a health inspection problem, or a repair bill.

Who Monthly Trapping Programs Are For

Apartment communities, condos, and HOAs — dumpster enclosures, retention ponds, crawl spaces, and unit-level complaints
Restaurants, bars, and food service — grease areas, trash corrals, and back-of-house entry points
Retail centers, plazas, and office parks — shared dumpster pads and landscaped borders
Warehouses, distribution, and industrial sites — loading docks, overhead doors, and outbuildings
Schools, churches, and campuses — playgrounds, athletic fields, and outbuildings
Municipal facilities, parks, and public works — deer and coyote pressure, pond and waterway management
Golf courses, cemeteries, and large landscaped properties — groundhog burrows, beaver and muskrat damage, deer browse

What a Monthly Program Includes

Scheduled site visits. Regular service on a set schedule, so trapping happens continuously instead of reactively.
Trap placement and maintenance. Humane live traps set in active travel paths, baited, checked on schedule, and repositioned as activity shifts across the property.
Removal and disposal. All work performed under Ohio Division of Wildlife regulations.
Activity tracking. We keep a record of what’s being caught and where, so you can see whether pressure on the property is rising or falling.
Entry point and harborage checks. We flag the gaps, gate undersides, damaged soffits, burrows, and cover that keep feeding the problem.
Property-specific recommendations. Lid hardware, pickup frequency, landscaping, drainage screening, and other changes that cut recurrence.
One point of contact. The same person knows your property — no re-explaining the site every visit.

Why Ongoing Trapping Works Better Than One-Time Calls

Nuisance wildlife is opportunistic. When a raccoon is removed from a dumpster pad, the food source it was working hasn’t gone anywhere — and another animal finds it. That’s why properties that only call when there’s a visible problem end up calling over and over.

Population control works differently. By trapping consistently over months, we hold the local population below the level where it becomes visible to your tenants, customers, and staff. For a property manager, that means fewer emergency calls, fewer complaints, less damage to roofs, soffits, insulation, equipment, and pond banks — and a record showing the issue is being actively managed.

Wildlife We Manage on Commercial Properties

Raccoons, opossums, and skunks — dumpster areas, crawl spaces, and the space under decks and equipment pads
Mice and rats — attics, wall voids, soffit runs, and storage areas
Groundhogs — burrowing under sheds, walkways, concrete pads, and foundations
Beavers, muskrats, and snapping turtles — retention ponds, detention basins, waterways, and shorelines
Deer and coyotes — overpopulation, browse damage, and public-safety concerns on large or municipal properties
Dead animal removal — including deer, when something dies on-site and needs to be gone today

Licensed, Insured, and Easy to Onboard

Trappy’s is fully licensed, certified, and insured to work on residential, commercial, and municipal properties. We’re locally owned and family operated out of Maple Heights, and we’re set up for the paperwork side of commercial work — certificates of insurance, W-9s, and vendor onboarding forms on request.

Our approach is humane first: live trapping, exclusion, and prevention, handled quietly and without disrupting your tenants, customers, or operations.

Flexible Scheduling

Monthly is the most common schedule, but it isn’t the only one. Larger properties or peak-season pressure sometimes call for bi-weekly service; smaller sites do fine with a quarterly check. Pricing depends on property size, the number of trap locations, and how often we visit.

The first step is a walk-through. We’ll look at the property, tell you what we’re actually seeing, and quote a program that fits.
