Cages By Jim We are a family owned and run. My son James, my nephew Mark and myself serve as the technicians. My dad, Jim Damian, Sr. oversees our manufacturing shop where we make and produce our traps, special guards, vent and fan covers. Live trapping is an effective animal control alternative that is both humane and earth-friendly. Animals may be trapped for a variety of purposes, including wildlife management and pest control.

We are often referred by surrounding cities and pest control companies who have seen our work. We are ACCREDITED members of the BBB. Wildlife not only causes damage to properties, but may also pose health risks. Don't take that chance! Call Cages by Jim and make us your trapper!

Our trained technicians will professionally remove the wildlife, seal the entry ways and offer a cleanup and decontamination service. The Cleanup service is not required but HIGHLY recommended. Many homes and commercial buildings have had infestation problems for years before calling a professional. Years of feces and body oil can create unpleasant strong odors and health risks, including parasites, insects, fungi, and viruses. The odor can attract other wildlife to the infested areas creating the same problem again and even worsening it.

Bats
Report
Bats They usually roost in dark, quiet, enclosed spaces where they are least likely to be disturbed by predators or inclement weather. Bats can fit into openings as small as 1/2" making almost every man-made structure a potential hiding place.
Squirrels
Report
Squirrels In residential areas, squirrels travel power lines and short out transformers. They chew on wires, enter buildings, and build nests in attics and chimneys.

I looked at this website while considering a professional trapper for groundhogs but I decided to go with the city of Cleveland's offerings.

Quick service and great feedback regarding the capture and how to minimize future captures.

I called them because I heard noises in my wall and suspected there may be an animal. They charged me for an inspection, but they did not find the source of the problem. They told me to call back if the noise didn't go away. The noises were back within hours of them leaving my house. I called and left a message that evening asking them to come back and check the basement since they had not done that.

Although they said they would come back - I have not heard from them since. I would not recommend them. Or at the least, make sure they do an exhaustive inspection before you pay them because they ignored me completely once they had my money.

Had them out for a raccoon (s) in attic Took care of the problem immediately - very friendly and courteous- would recommend them to anyone. Price was fair as i did call around and the other companies were much more expensive. Would recommend to anyone!

Absolutely wonderful experience. I was convinced I had a stuck raccoon in the chimney and he knew my problem before I could even speak. A momma and 5 babies! The men know their stuff! They earn every bit of their 5 stars! Cannot say thank you enough for putting my anxiety to rest!

Horrible customer service. Very unprofessional. This company thinks they can bully bad reviews away. Learn to take criticism if you are running a business. Potential customers, be warned. Hire "cages by Jim" if you want to make the mistake I made.

I reached out to Cages by Jim yesterday for a raccoon issue we had in our soffits. The company was recommended to me by a contractor I've worked with and trust. Mark called me back promptly, clearly explained their services and pricing, and came out today. So far, we are very satisfied with the repair job Mark did. I would recommend Cages by Jim to a friend.

This is the 2nd time I have used their services to get rid of animals. Both times they did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend them.

Do not use this company. Terrible customer service and communication. We had a groundhog that needed to be caught and unfortunately called them to take care of the problem. The guy was two hours late for the initial appointment and never called or gave us a heads up. He showed up in a rush and took about 15 minutes to set out a cage with an apple inside which cost me $124 dollars.

After that you are instructed to check the cage every few hours. This could go on for weeks or months. They never check their cages and if you are gone most of the day as most people who work are the animal will die. If you call after 4pm they will not get the animal until the next day. They never answer the phone and you always have to leave a message.

If they catch an animal other than the one you want them to you still have to pay $50 per animal. This could be any stray animal or possibly a neighbors pet. Their business practices are irresponsible. As a side note I also gave this company a bad review on facebook and Jim took it upon himself to post my private bill(which I had already paid in full immediately after terminating service) along with my phone number and address on a public forum for any one to see.

He refused my request to remove the photo and I was forced to delete my review in fear that some creep may see my information and decide to come to my home. He has no respect for his customers privacy and had no problem putting my young daughter and I at risk. Very sad that someone would stoop that low over a bad review.
