If you have a problem with wildlife in your Charles City home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Iowa wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Iowa and Charles City, and I recommend the following:

Mohr Wildlife Control
Cell Phone: 641-903-2242

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Floyd County Animal Services: (641) 423-6241

Mohr Wildlife Control specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Iowa also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Mohr Wildlife Control is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 641-903-2242 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Iowa and Floyd County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Mohr Wildlife Control is a full-service Charles City wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Charles City pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Mohr Wildlife Control performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Charles City wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Iowa to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Iowa law. We offer Charles City raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Mohr Wildlife Control. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Charles City squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Charles City exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Charles City rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Iowa is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Charles City pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Charles City bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Charles City trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Charles City wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Mohr Wildlife Control does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Mohr Wildlife Control. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Mohr Wildlife Control also provides dead animal removal in Charles City. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Charles City snake removal - most of the snakes in Iowa are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Charles City. And remember, we are a private business, not Floyd County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (641) 423-6241. Floyd County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Charles City Wildlife Tip #1:
What Should I Do If I Find Nest Of Raccoon In The Attic?

Raccoons in the yard, attic, or even inside the house can really be a problem mainly when you allow them to remain there for a longer time. Then, if you allow them to remain there for longer time and even have nest, your problem will not just doubled but also tripled. Your problem will be more difficult when you discover that raccoons in your attic or yard always have nest of babies. Doing something very fast when you discover nest of raccoon in your attic is necessary to cut the problem short.

Check the Season of the Year to Know Whether the Raccoons Have Babies or Now

The very first thing to confirm when you discover raccoon nest in your attic is the season of the year in order to know whether it is the breeding season for raccoon or not. If it is the breeding reason, you should be ready to not just deal with mother raccoon but the babies also. The nesting season for raccoon is always in spring with the peak taking place within the mid-match. That means you will be certain of dealing with nest of babies if you are to deal with raccoon issue in yard in mid match.

Use Cage Trap to Catch the Mother and Relocate

If there are raccoon babies in the nest, you have to first of all trap the mother using cage trap and relocate to another place. The reason for trapping the mother first is to avoid getting hurt by aggressive mother raccoon with babies. Make use of humane cage trap to make sure mother raccoon is removed before dealing with the babies.

Put Your Hand inside the Attic to Remove the Babies

Now you have succeeded in removing the aggressive mother raccoon, the next thing to do is to remove the babies. You will not be able to catch the babies using trap. So, what you will need to do is to wear rubber glove before putting your hand there to rescue the baby raccoon.

Contact Professional Animal Control to Deal with the Raccoon Nest of Babies

You can now contact professional wild animal service provider to help in removing both the raccoon mother in the cage and the babies you just delivered from the attic. The professional wild animal service provider will definitely know what to do in order to ensure lasting solution.

Charles City Wildlife Tip #2:


Iowa Wildlife Information:

Iowa State bird: Eastern goldfinch
State amphibian: North American bullfrog
State fish: Channel catfish

Iowa is a central state in the Midwest, and its location has given it the nickname "America's heartland". Despite being a naturally flat state which used to have plentiful forests, Iowa has given up much of its natural habitats in favor of agriculture. Now, forests only cover 7 percent of the entire state, often in the river valleys only where farming isn't practical or easy. Thirty percent of the state is still grassland, but only 1 percent of that 30 is original prairie land. More than half of the state-at 60 percent-is active farmland. The weather in this region is warm and humid during the summers with cold, snowy winters. Thunderstorms are common on a daily basis in the warm weather.

Unlike other states with grasslands, Iowa no longer has many of the large grazing creatures that loved to live on the plains. Elk and bison have long since been extirpated from the state due to heavy deforestation and land conversion. Only white-tailed deer remain, and these were once wiped off Iowa soil as well. The species was re-introduced and has thrived, but it is still uncommon in some areas.

Despite the lack of large grazers, predators have fared better in Iowa that in other states. For a while, there was thought to be no evidence of mountain lions or gray wolves, but the large cats have been making a comeback. Experts feel there may now be a breeding population in the state. Smaller predators, like bobcats and coyotes, live off the plentiful small animals that live around the countryside. There are plenty of rabbits, prairie dogs, and raccoons to keep the carnivores happy.

An abundance of small animals means an abundance of pest animals, and Iowa is no exception. The state has raccoons, bats, squirrels, mice, rats, and opossums. Spotted skunks are protected by the state, but they can still become pest animals.

Unfortunately, Iowa has lost many of its native animals due to the progressive nature of humans. A number of animals are on the endangered species list including bald eagles, flying squirrels, bats, certain owls, and a number of lizards, insects, fish, and reptiles. While the original agriculture move ousted many of the state's species, Iowa is taking steps to protect the remaining wildlife.
