Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
Pricing varies greatly depending on the situation so there is no one answer. Sometimes, exclusion is enough to resolve the issue or trapping might be required. Bird abatement can consist of chemical and/or physical methods.
Artec is very economical and competitive within our industry. Please call for an estimate at 408-498-PEST.
What are my responsibilites?
As the landowner or agent you will be required to visually inspect any traps we deploy each day. The law requires this so animals are cared for quickly and do not incure any undue stress.
When exclusion is required, we can perform most repairs but you might need a general contractor depending on the scope of work.
What do you do with the animals?
CDFW regulations require that animals be immediately released or euthanized on-site.
Trappers are not allowed to relocate animals thereby causing a nuisance elsewhere and undue stress to the animal.
How do you euthanize the animals?
We try to exclude any openings and release the animals whenever possible.
When euthenasia is required, we follow AVMA guidlines and carry the proper equipment. We never drown, crush, or shoot them with bb guns like so many elsewhere. It is cruel, inhumane, and illegal.
How do I know if a trapper is licensed?
Trappers are required to have their trapping license in immediate possession so ask them to see it in advance.
Is it ok for me to re-set or re-bait the trap?
Only the trapper which set the trap and has their unique identifying mark may service their traps. You may only do a visual inspection which is required daily.
