This is the second time I've used Shamrock. They are professional and diligent about checking the traps. We live in an area with a lot of critters and we will not hesitate to call them again if necessary.

The guys from Shamrock Wildlife Services were great to work with after a raccoon had taken up residence in our attic. They answered all of my questions and promptly removed the raccoon. They also did soffit repairs and reinforced the area where the raccoon was getting in.

Connor has been my go-to wildlife specialist for several years now, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most reliable and trustworthy professionals I’ve worked with.

I live in a wooded neighborhood where wildlife is constant and persistent—squirrels, raccoons, bats, and even groundhogs have all tried to make their way into or around my home over the years. Each situation required a thoughtful, knowledgeable approach, and every time Connor has shown up promptly, assessed the issue correctly, and put together a clear, effective plan.

What really sets him apart is how carefully he thinks through not just removal, but long-term prevention. His goal is not a temporary fix—he focuses protecting my home for the long term, often thinking 10–20 years ahead. That level of foresight has made a huge difference and has saved me both money and stress.

He doesn’t overcomplicate things or create unnecessary repeat visits. He does the work the right way the first time.

Beyond his expertise, he is simply easy to work with. He communicates clearly, follows through, and handles things without drama. At this point, I trust him implicitly, which is not something I say lightly after managing a large and complex home project.

I continue to call Connor because every experience reinforces that I’m in good hands. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with wildlife or attic-related issues.

Shamrock was quick to identify the animals that were coming and going in my attic. They were able to develop a comprehensive plan to trap them, install preventative devices, and repair parts of my home used as points of entry/future possible points of entry.

Problem solved! Shamrock Wildlife responded right away to our call regarding a sick looking raccoon hanging out in our yard. I was impressed how the owner, Conor O'laughlin, showed such patience and kindness in retrieving the raccoon. We have used them in the past as well to remove piney squirrels from our attic. He is friendly, professional and has great expertise in any wildlife issue you may have.

There was a raccoon in the empty lot and our dogs wouldn’t let it be thank goodness a fence separated it from them. I called and they were able to come out the same day. Great company and highly recommend them.

We're very happy with Shamrock's results. We had squirrels deeply entrenched between floors and ceilings in our old house which had numerous modifications over the years. Shamrock found numerous open entry points and were able to eventually clear out our home. We chose Shamrock because they offered to humanely trap and release. We'll contact Shamrock again should we need them. They were very responsive to extra incidents as well. Feel confident in choosing them.

Happy with the service so far. Still to early to know if the bat issue we have has been resolved or I would have given a 5 star rating. They were very informative and quickly performed the necessary work to address the problem.

Shamrock Wildlife is a terrific company! I have hired them twice and would recommend them to anyone. They are so attentive, efficient, professional and honest! My first experience was a groundhog problem they completely took care of. First they excluded him from under my shed, then came back and sealed off any future attempts by Mr. Groundhog to build his home. Never had another problem with the heavy wire screen they installed at ground level, even going into ground to prevent digging. I was so pleased with their work that I called them first when my second wildlife problem arose.

Bats! Yuck! They promptly found the entry points! After testing for current infestation they sealed up the roof to avoid re-entry. Next they vacuumed out entire attic insulation, then they disinfected attic before blowing in all new, clean insulation. I am so pleased with their wonderful job!! Bat remediation is the best feeling, knowing my house is now free and clear. Yes, Shamrock is the way to go!

We had a squirrel move into the walls between our townhome over the summer. Shamrock came out and gave me an quote and setup the trap the same day. It was on the second floor where he had to work around electrical lines. Very professional and informative about the situation. They checked the trap daily until they caught the culprit. They removed their trap and covered the hole until we could get the siding repaired. Reasonably priced and efficient service. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Connor and crew are in sync with their experience, whether it’s catch n release or just keeping the critters out. I’ve used Shamrock 3 times now and each project was completed quickly and successfully.

Shamrock Wildlife were great to deal with, detailed on what I could expect with the trapping, daily checking on traps, and cleanup. It was easy to schedule, easy to pay online. They were able to capture a couple raccoons and an unexpected possum that were constantly using my yard as a bathroom, even adding some extra nights as the raccoons weren’t showing up. After the service, they checked in to notify me of what was caught, and options available if the need arises again. Would definitely use again if the need ever comes up again.

Our Beaver Trapping & Removal Process

Our professional beaver trappers secure permits and follow Indiana’s beaver trapping season to humanely trap, remove, and control nuisance beavers on your property. We also dismantle dams, stop flooding and tree damage, install control devices that help with prevention and repair damages.

We have many different styles of traps to use in order to remove a beaver from your water. Though they present a unique challenge, a skilled trapper can identify the highly trafficked areas and set traps on them. Once the animals are removed we then look toward proofing options to stop damming from happening again in the future.

Permanent Beaver Proofing & Dam Deterrent

There are a multitude of different fixes we can fabricate to stop beavers from damming an area. Some spots we have an easy time installing a pre-made product to keep them out, but other times we need to make something completely custom! The main idea is to keep water flow through the dammed areas even if they are being dammed up. We also provide dam removal, but we must pair the animal removal with a permanent proofing fix as well to stop future damages and water flow.

Beaver Damage Repair

On top of felling trees on your property, beaver dams may cause flooding by blocking culverts and storm drains. We ensure effective drainage on your property by protecting and repairing clogged culverts, drains, and piping. In addition, we can fit drains with a BeaverCone to stop damming permanently. Ask us about how this process works!

Signs You Have a Beaver Problem

Sometimes it’s obvious when North America ‘s largest rodent is causing issues on your land. Other times, the signs are subtle until the damage gets much bigger. You may need an inspection if you notice the following signs:

  • Sudden flooding or rising water levels from beaver dams blocking culverts, pipes, or streams.
  • Gnawed trees, stripped branches, or felled trunks near ponds and wetlands.
  • Dome-shaped lodges or stick-and-mud beaver dams in your yard or habitat.
  • Beaver tracks, scat, or bark peeling signaling active infestation.
