Trappy’s Wildlife Control is locally based at 16626 Broadway Avenue, Maple Heights, OH — a short drive from Hudson. We’ve spent years trapping, removing, and excluding wildlife from homes and businesses across Hudson and the surrounding Greater Cleveland communities — humanely, and without the upsell games of a chain pest company.
If raccoons are in your attic, bats are getting into your bedroom, a skunk has moved in under your porch, or there’s a deer in your yard that didn’t make it, you can call us at 216-586-4692 and reach the people doing the work — not a call center.
Wildlife We Handle in Hudson
Hudson’s combination of century-era homes, mature wooded lots, and proximity to the Cuyahoga Valley creates a wildlife mix you don’t see in newer suburbs. The most common calls we get from Hudson properties:
- Bats — colonies in attics, behind shutters, and in dormer corners — Hudson’s 1830s–1920s housing stock around First & Main and the Western Reserve Academy area is full of the soffit gaps and rough-cut openings bats need. Exclusion timing must follow Ohio Division of Wildlife rules to avoid stranding pups.
- Deer — browsing damage to ornamentals, hostas, yews, and arborvitae across Hudson’s large-lot residential streets — heaviest east of SR 91 and along the Boston Heights / Cuyahoga Valley edge.
- Raccoons — attic invasions, especially mothers with kits in spring; chimney denning in older masonry homes; persistent garbage and pet-food raids.
- Squirrels — gable vents, chimney chases, and soffit returns in older brick-and-frame homes — also damage to wiring and insulation once they’re inside.
- Coyotes — sightings on the wooded edges along Hines Hill, Stow Road, and the streets bordering Hudson Springs Park and the CVNP corridor.
- Skunks and opossums — denning under decks, gazebos, garden sheds, and outbuildings across Hudson’s residential neighborhoods.
- Groundhogs — burrowing under sheds, retaining walls, garden plots, and detached garages.

Why Local Matters for Wildlife Work
Hudson properties are not a one-size job. A bat colony in a Western Reserve Academy-era brick house has different access points than the same job in a 1980s estate-lot colonial off Hines Hill — different rooflines, different attic geometry, different inspectors. Because we work Hudson constantly, we know what entry points to look for and how to seal them so the same colony can’t reopen them next season. Hudson is in Summit County, but we’re physically just down 8 in Maple Heights — usually same-day response.
We’re also the people who’ll be back if something needs fixing. That matters.
