Learn About Big Papa And His 10+ Years Of Effective Ethical Wildlife Removal Services Performed With Love For The Job

We remove almost any wildlife you may encounter in your home or business, and we also can provide predator solutions for farmers and land owners and habitat improvements. Some of the most common nuisance animals include raccoons, opossums, birds, skunks, coyotes, and groundhogs. Removing unwanted wildlife is typically only half the battle. Big Papa’s Nuisance Wildlife Control evaluates the entire situation and has a solution to keep all types of wildlife from returning to unwanted places.

Everything About Big Papa And His Mission Is Based On Integrity And Pride In A Job Well-Done And Making Customers Happy

Our first step in removing a nuisance animal is to evaluate the extent of the problem. We will suggest a trapping program designed to stop the damage or inconvenience being caused as well as eliminate the problem. After the animals are trapped and removed,  we temporarily sealed entryways until we can complete a permanent repair. Wildlife living in your home can be disastrous. Not only do many nuisance wildlife animals carry diseases but also leave behind fecal waste, parasites, and unpleasant odors.

About Big Papa And His Nuisance Wildlife Control History And Experience

Hi, I’m Ray Eserhaut, aka Big Papa, the owner of Big Papa’s Nuisance Wildlife Control. I’m a local family-owned and operated business, not a corporate franchise, holding Iowa wildlife control licenses and certifications and insured for residential and commercial jobs.

I grew up in the outdoors, trapping, hunting & fishing. After high school, I went to jr. college and got my two-year degree in associate of arts, science, and general studies, and then went to Iowa State for fisheries and wildlife. I’ve worked several outdoor and wildlife-related jobs, including the Cedar Co. Conservation, the Department Of Natural Resources in fisheries and wildlife, and then two years in Parks And Recreations.

In addition to my work experience, I owned and operated a successful outfitting business in Southeast Iowa and Northeast Missouri. I also guided deer and turkey hunts for five years, then sold the business. I also owned and operated a successful taxidermy business for eight years before getting into the wildlife business and starting Big Papa’s Nuisance Wildlife Control over ten years ago.

I am a life member of the national trappers association, a life member of the Iowa trappers association, and an active director for the Iowa trappers association.

This lady’s neighbors feed the coons , then they come over to her yard and tear a hole in the garage to eat dog food & dump over the trash bin when the stop putting food scraps out next door .

“I had a problem with an animal in my basement. I saw “Big Papa’s” advertisement on his truck and called them. The next day the raccoon was gone. They set traps and caught more of them. I was thrilled they were gone!! Thanks, Big Papa’s. Good Job!!”
