Our Services
Animal trapping is a specialized practice designed to humanely capture and remove wildlife from residential, commercial, or agricultural properties. Professional animal trapping requires an understanding of animal behavior, local wildlife laws, and the use of appropriate traps that ensure the safety of both the animal and the handler.
Commonly trapped animals include raccoons, rodents, squirrels, opossums, skunks, and snakes. Effective trapping starts with identifying the species and assessing the extent of the problem. Traps such as cage traps, live box traps, are selected based on the target animal and environment.
Once captured, trapped animals are typically relocated to suitable habitats far from human dwellings, following all federal, state, and local regulations to prevent disruption of local ecosystems. Professional trappers also implement exclusion techniques and habitat modifications to prevent re-infestation.
All American Animal Trapping emphasizes ethical trapping methods that prioritize animal welfare and promote coexistence between humans and wildlife. Our licensed experts are equipped to handle nuisance wildlife removals safely, efficiently, and legally.

Opossum
Opossum are North America’s only marsupials, known for their distinctive appearance and unique behaviors. They typically have grayish-white fur, a pointed snout, hairless prehensile tail, and opposable thumbs on their hind feet. Adult opossums usually measure between 2 to 3 feet long, including the tail, and weigh 4 to 14 pounds.
Opossums are highly adaptable animals found in a variety of environments, including forests, farmland, and urban areas. They are primarily nocturnal and solitary, foraging alone at night. Their diet is omnivorous, consisting of insects, small animals, fruits, vegetables, and even carrion, making them important scavengers in the ecosystem.
Rats
Rodents are a diverse group of mammals characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws. Common species include rats, mice, squirrels, and chipmunks. They are known for their high reproductive rates and adaptability to a wide range of environments, often making them common pests in urban and rural settings.
In the context of animal trapping and control, rodents pose significant challenges due to their ability to reproduce quickly and their tendency to gnaw on structures, electrical wiring, and stored food, leading to property damage and health risks. Effective rodent management involves a combination of sanitation, exclusion, and population control through trapping or baiting.
skunks
Skunks are small to medium-sized mammals renowned for their distinctive black and white coloring and their ability to spray a foul-smelling liquid as a defense mechanism. Native primarily to North and South America, skunks belong to the family Mephitidae. They are nocturnal creatures, typically foraging at night for insects, small mammals, fruits, and plants.
Skunks play a vital role in the ecosystem by controlling insect and rodent populations. However, their presence near homes and properties can pose challenges due to their odor and the potential threat of rabies transmission.
Understanding skunk behavior and habits is essential for effective prevention and management to maintain a balanced coexistence.
rattlesnake
A rattlesnake is a venomous snake native to the Americas, easily identified by the distinctive rattle at the end of its tail. This rattle produces a warning sound to deter predators when the snake feels threatened. Rattlesnakes belong to the pit viper family and possess heat-sensing pits located between their eyes and nostrils, allowing them to detect warm-blooded prey.
Rattlesnakes primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. They play a crucial role in controlling rodent populations. While their venom is potent and can be dangerous to humans, rattlesnakes generally avoid confrontation and will only strike in self-defense.
At All American Animal Trapping, we provide expert rattlesnake trapping and removal services that prioritize humane treatment and effective deterrence. If you face rattlesnake issues, contact our trained specialists for safe and reliable solutions.
