We have created a youtube channel for people to see what type of work we do and things that people might not get to see everyday. The youtube channel is TRAPPERTV. I also created this because a lot of times I go in attics or under homes and explain to the homeowner what is going on and what I am seeing. Here is a chance for everyone to see how it is when there are skunks, raccoons, opossums and other wildlife living in your home. Here at Animal Capture Wildlife Control we specialize in humane wildlife removal from properties. We cover most of southern California from Los Angeles to Bakersfield. Jeremy Bailey has been working as a wildlife operator for over thirteen years. For more information you can check out our website animalcapturewildlifecontrol.com or contact us at (310) 551-0901.

Jeremy Bailey from Animal Capture Wildlife Control was called out to this home in Pacific Palisades because they homeowner woke up to their backyard looking like this. I cam out to the home and set up four traps around the yard and ended up catching seven raccoons.

Yesterday I had a client call me out because she thought a opossum was in the attic. I came out to do an inspection and went in the attic and as soon as I went in the attic I heard chattering. When I hear chattering, I immediately know it’s raccoon babies.  I then set up three traps outside.  I received a call from the client today telling me there was nothing in the traps.  I then told her the raccoon might have not came out last night and I would just go in today and physically remove the family of raccoons.  This is the most dangerous situation I deal with because a mother raccoon will fully charge and attack you to defend her babies. I went into the attic to find the mother raccoon in a corner. I slowly approached her with my catch-all pole. When I got within reach of her I put the catch-all pole in her face and she immedietly attacked the pole.  She was playing tug of war with the pole. She would tuck her head down aginst the wall so I was not able to slip the pole around her neck. She eventually moved her head and I only had one chance to get her and I did.  She then started freaking out,growling, scratching, and biting the pole. She was mad!!! I got her from the attic, down through the house, and outside toput her in a trap.  I then had to go back in there and physically remove the babies. There was five baby raccoons in the nest. I removed them and brought them outside. I put them in a separate trap because the mom is still in defense mode and will attack her own babies.  I then took the out to a nearby forest area, put the babies in a box,put a t-shirt under them and angled the trap up the tree and she came out up the tree. I them took off so when she comes down she will move the raccoon babies to a den and find herself a new home. I will go back tomorrow to check and make sure they are gone.  We are the best raccoon removal company in all of Los Angeles. We also specialize in removing raccoons from attics and under floors. Call us for more information at (310) 551-0901 or check out out website at animalcapturewildlifecontrol.com

Transcript Larry King Live Oct 09 2009 with Howie Mandell & Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs

MANDEL: OK. Joining us to talk about his dirty job is Jeremy Bailey. He’s the owner of Animal Capture Wildlife Control. He’s spent the last 13 years trapping skunks, raccoons, possums, snakes, bats and a coyote.

A coyote?

JEREMY BAILEY, SPRAYED BY SKUNKS ON JOB: It’s always different, you know. I get, you know, selective j

MANDEL: Are you here in California?

BAILEY: Yes, I’m here in L.A.

MANDEL: I have three coyote in my yard like a night.

BAILEY: Yes, you must be in L.A. in like the hills or something.

MANDEL: Right. But you got one.

BAILEY: Oh, I got many.

MANDEL: Well, let’s see Mike at work with animal control.

Watch this.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This skunk is right around the corner.

ROWE: You mean that black creature there with the white stripes on its back?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. So you’re going to approach, at any angle. You’re going to get sprayed.

ROWE: Oh, jeez. Ah, you dirty…

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You might as well just go now. He’s already sprayed.

ROWE: You’re right. That’s — ah, you smelly skunk. Oh, you stink. Oh, you — ah.

(LAUGHTER)

(COUGHING)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, come on. It’s not that bad.

ROWE: Oh, come on. You don’t smell anything ever anymore. You’re…

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I’m immune to it. It smells like money to me.

ROWE: Yes?

Well, somebody left their money in their ass.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MANDEL: I love that. I love that. Somebody left their money in their ass. Did you get sprayed there?

BAILEY: Yes, may a time.

MANDEL: Yes, many times. It’s no big deal to you?

BAILEY: It happens every day to me.

MANDEL: What is the best remedy for getting rid of that odor? Or maybe I’m sitting far enough from you, maybe you have it.

BAILEY: I got sprayed last night. So if I smelled that bad you would smell it right away. I use a product called Skunk Off.

MANDEL: Skunk Off.

ROWE: What else would you use.

MANDEL: You always hear about people with tomato juice and trying different things.

BAILEY: That stuff doesn’t work.

MANDEL: Where does one get Skunk Off?

BAILEY: A lab makes it. It’s sold over the Internet everywhere.

ROWE: Skunk emporium, I believe. Down the road a piece.

MANDEL: Did you get sprayed in that?

ROWE: Yes. I got sprayed twice there.

MANDEL: Does he share the Skunk Off with you?

ROWE: No, he’s very proprietary with the Skunk Off.

MANDEL: You have to go to the website too and get the Skunk Off. In that episode, was it just the skunks you were going after?

ROWE: No. Possums.

BAILEY: We got skunks, raccoons, possums, all that. We go underneath homes, do under-floor inspections.

MANDEL: Under-floor inspections?

BAILEY: Yes, crawl underneath the houses on your belly. We had to remove a dead skunk as well at the first house, with maggots all over it, flies, fleas jumping on you.

MANDEL: You say it with such joy.

BAILEY: It’s just a normal day. MANDEL: Do you ever say, ewe?

BAILEY: Not really. To me, I’m used to all the smells, dead animal smells, skunk smell. To me, it doesn’t bother me.

MANDEL: It doesn’t bother you. You’re used to smells. I noticed in the green room, you have a beautiful young lady. Is that your wife?

BAILEY: Yes.

MANDEL: Does she put on perfume for you when you get home?

BAILEY: She’s used to it as well. It’s hard to believe, but really you get used to the skunk smell. It doesn’t bother her. She tells me take your clothes off in the garage. Don’t bring it inside. But still, with me coming inside, it smells the house up.

MANDEL: Any given day after work, your neighbors might see you standing naked in the garage?

BAILEY: Not naked, but in my boxers.

ROWE: More than I need to know.

MANDEL: What’s the weirdest or most dangerous thing you’ve ever encountered?

BAILEY: I think not really most dangerous thing. It’s more situational things. I do a lot of work, you know, like situations where raccoons get in walls and you have to get them out. Skunks die underneath houses. You know, I get possums that die underneath the flooring. I have to cut them out of the flooring sometimes.

MANDEL: Have you ever been bitten?

BAILEY: Never, in 13 years.

MANDEL: Never been bitten.

BAILEY: No.

MANDEL: Wow. Somebody said you went after a bobcat.

BAILEY: I got a bobcat out of a chicken coop. But I was able to flush it into the trap without getting bit or anything.

MANDEL: How does one train for this? How did you get into this business?

BAILEY: My dad taught me everything I know.

MANDEL: It’s a family business.

BAILEY: Yes, he owns a business up north. I worked for him for 10 years and moved out here to L.A. and opened my own business. MANDEL: Yes. Is there work in this business. If there are people out there that are interested in stinking each and every day or going after or climbing under houses, is there work for that?

BAILEY: Oh yes. I’m working every single day, catching animals every single day.

MANDEL: People are looking for work. I think that’s fascinating.

BAILEY: Just yesterday, I got about four skunks, like about six raccoons and a couple possums. You know, every day.

MANDEL: Are these the lines you used to meet your wife when you first approached her?

BAILEY: No, no.

MANDEL: Is this lucrative? What kind of money? What would it cost to remove skunk from my abode?

BAILEY: I get 100 dollars for every animal I catch.

ROWE: Tell them the crazy parts. Tell them what you have to do when you catch the thing. You’re not going to believe this.

MANDEL: A hundred dollars an animal. Where do they go? Where do you take them?

BAILEY: I relocate them a lot of times. I don’t kill any animals.

ROWE: We released — once we caught, we had to release them on the same property. Some counties have ordinances.

BAILEY: Some counties are laws where you’re not able to relocate animals, or you have to relocate them on the same property.

MANDEL: I give you 100 dollars, you pick up my skunk; where do you take him?

BAILEY: Always different. Open areas.

MANDEL: You don’t want to take two skunks to the same place.

BAILEY: You don’t want to overcrowd one area.

ROWE: It’s a skunk relocation program.

(CROSS TALK)

MANDEL: He’s taking the skunk, moving it to another house, giving out his website, getting another 100 dollars and relocating it to another house. That’s the business. I can’t think of anything more awful than milking a camel. I don’t know why that popped into my head. Did you know they can spit on you? Did you know that? ROWE: I did.

MANDEL: That’s why you’re going to see Mike do the dirty work next.
