Insured·Owner-operated·Humane & legal removal
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Seymour and serve Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Rogersville, Marshfield and communities across Southwest Missouri. If you're not sure you're in our area, call or text (417) 897-5674.
What animals do you handle?
Raccoons, opossums, skunks, groundhogs, armadillos, snakes, beavers, muskrats, river otters, coyotes and bobcats. We do not handle bats, birds or insects.
Do you give a price before you start?
Yes. After we look at the problem, you get a straight assessment, a fixed price and a realistic timeline before any work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. Ozark Wildlife Control is fully insured and owner-operated.
Is your removal humane and legal?
Yes. We follow Missouri wildlife laws and regulations, and we check for young before sealing up any den site.
Do you seal entry points?
Where it makes sense, we seal accessible ground-level entry points as part of the removal. We don't do roof work, ladder work or high-access exclusion, and we'll tell you up front if the entry point is out of reach.
Do you work with HOAs, property managers and golf courses?
Yes. We offer free assessments of ponds and common areas for HOAs, property managers, commercial properties and golf courses, and we can work around residents, tenants and tee times.
How do I know if muskrats or beavers are damaging my pond?
Common signs include cave-ins and sinkholes along the bank, leaks or seepage through the dam, plugged overflow pipes, gnawed or downed trees, and rising or falling water levels. We can assess the pond and tell you what's going on.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Text photos of the animal, the damage or the entry point to (417) 897-5674, or attach them when you send a service request.
