Wildlife Removal in Shaker Heights, OH

Trappy’s Wildlife Control is locally based at 16626 Broadway Avenue, Maple Heights, OH — a short drive from Shaker Heights. We’ve spent years trapping, removing, and excluding wildlife from homes and businesses across Shaker Heights and the surrounding inner-ring Cleveland suburbs — 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 Shaker Heights

Shaker Heights’s mature trees, large lots, and proximity to the Lakes make it one of the highest-deer-pressure cities we cover, alongside the standard mix of attic and yard wildlife. Most common calls from Shaker properties:

• Deer — browsing landscape damage on hostas, yews, arborvitae, and tulips — heaviest in the streets around Shaker Lakes and along Boulevard, Lomond, Mercer, and Sussex.
• Raccoons — attic and chimney calls in the older Tudor and colonial housing stock; mothers with kits in spring are the most urgent.
• Bats — century-home colonies — same exclusion timing rules apply as anywhere else in Cuyahoga County, but Shaker’s slate roofs and complex dormers make sealing the work.
• Coyotes — sightings in and around the wooded park edges, especially near the Lakes and along the Cleveland Heights border.
• Squirrels — gable vents and soffit returns in older homes; also damage to attic insulation and wiring once they’re in.
• Skunks and opossums — denning under decks, gazebos, and pool houses.

Services We Provide to Shaker Heights Properties

• Wildlife in Structures — attic, crawl space, soffit, deck, and shed removals with full exclusion repair.
• Trash Area Wildlife — raccoons and opossums in dumpsters, residential bins, and commercial trash enclosures.
• Aquatic Wildlife Control — beavers, muskrats, and waterfowl issues at private ponds.
• Nuisance Deer & Coyote Control — humane management on residential and commercial properties.

Why Local Matters for Wildlife Work

Shaker Heights is a careful-work city. Exterior repairs need to match — the slate, the brickwork, the trim profiles. A wildlife exclusion job here isn’t just sealing a hole; it’s sealing it in a way that won’t draw a violation letter or make the next homebuyer’s inspector flinch. We’ve done enough work in Shaker that we know what the building department looks for and what your contractor will need to undo or build around.

We’re also the people who’ll be back if something needs fixing. That matters.
