How to Find a Company to Deal with a Problem Animal
In our digital age, many people turn to the internet/search engines to find the product or service for which they are looking.
Google, Yahoo, and Bing are as helpful to us today as the YellowPages once were. There are still many people who turn to traditional methods like telephone books, but research tells us a majority of people use electronic methods.
Aware of this, small and local businesses like Frontline Animal Removal try to capitalize on digital marketing as it makes more sense in today’s business climate.
But, finding what you are looking for through an internet search depends on what sort of search terms (keywords, in internet search jargon) the user enters.
The purpose of this blog post from Frontline Animal Removal is to give some helpful hints to those searching the internet to find a company that can handle their nuisance wildlife problem.
Search Advice for Nuisance Animal Removal
- To find potential service providers in YOUR AREA, include local geography in your search terms. For instance, if you have think you have a family of squirrels living in your attic and you live in Lake Township in Stark County in the State of Ohio; try entering “Squirrel Removal, Lake Township, Stark, Ohio“. This will provide more helpful results than entering a generic phrase like “Get Rid of Squirrels”, “Squirrel Removal”, or “Squirrel Exterminator”.
- Understand some of the industry terminology. Here is the down and dirty: Pest Control and exterminators generally describe the industry that applies pesticides to combat ants, termites, rats, and the like. Nuisance Animal Control and wildlife trapping better describe the management and removal of squirrels, raccoons, bats, groundhogs, skunks, etc.
- Stay away from Generic Search Terms; be specific when it comes to the animal (if possible). Search with the animal species you suspect is the issue and what you want done. For example, “Remove Raccoon Kent Ohio” is a great search term which will bring up web sites of local companies that will do the job for you. Using terms like “Critter” and “Varmint” , besides making you sound like Yosemite Sam, will not get you the specific results you intend.
- Expect national, referring style web pages when you enter broad search terms. Broad search terms result in a finding web sites that have a national presence. For example, “Bat Removal” will pop up many sites and 1-800 numbers that can help you find someone to help rid your attic of bats. But, in the end, you’ll need someone who can drive to your house to do the job. The referrer web sites are probably hundreds of miles away and won’t be the ones coming to do the job. Often, they are just web sites set up to find you, take their cut, and direct you to a local person anyway. Skip the middleman; it saves you time and money!
- The term “Animal Control” is often associated with municipal agencies responsible for dogs and cats. The dog warden does not often deal with wild animals in many Summit, Stark, and Portage County communities. Using and “Wild Animal Control/Removal” and a locality is a better choice for most nuisance animal species.
