Wildlife Removal in Mesa & Maricopa County
When a raccoon is raiding your trash every night, a javelina is cornering your dog against the fence, or a coyote is circling your yard at dusk, you need that animal gone, safely, legally, and without poisoning your pets. Blue Desert provides humane wildlife trapping and removal for the animals that move into Arizona homes and yards: raccoons, coyotes, javelina, foxes, bobcats, ringtails, skunks, and snakes. We identify the species, trap it the right way, and relocate per Arizona Game & Fish rules, then tell you exactly what attracted it so it doesn't come back.
How It Works
Our Wildlife Removal Process
Every wildlife removal job follows the same proven steps so the problem is actually solved, not just temporarily quieted.
- 1
Inspection & Animal ID
We walk your property, confirm which species you're dealing with, find the entry points or travel lanes, and figure out what's drawing the animal in (food, water, shelter, a den site).
- 2
Humane Trapping Plan
We set species-appropriate live cage traps along the animal's known travel lanes and monitor them. No poisons, no glue traps, no indiscriminate methods, only targeted, humane capture.
- 3
Removal & Relocation
Once trapped, we remove the animal and relocate it legally under Arizona Game & Fish guidelines. Venomous snakes are handled with the proper tools and moved well away from your home.
- 4
Attractant & Exclusion Advice
We secure the trash, point out the water source, and tell you which gaps the animal was using. If an entry point needs sealing, we'll recommend our home exclusion service.
- 5
Follow-Up
We confirm the animal is actually gone, reset traps if there's a second one, and close out the job only when your property is clear.
Methods & Materials
What We Use for Wildlife Removal
The right tools and materials matter, they're the difference between a fix that lasts and one a rodent chews through in a week.
Live Cage Traps
Single- and multi-catch live traps sized to the target species, the humane, legal standard for most Arizona wildlife.
Catch Poles & Snares
Professional restraint poles for safe handling of coyotes, foxes, and larger animals without injury.
Snake Tongs & Hooks
Species-correct tools for relocating both non-venomous and venomous Arizona snakes at a safe distance.
Trail & Game Cameras
Motion-triggered cameras to confirm the animal's identity, timing, and travel route before and after trapping.
When to Call
Signs You Need Wildlife Removal
If you're seeing any of these around your home, it's time to call before the problem grows.
- Trash cans tipped or raided night after night
- Torn screens, bent vents, or damage around the yard
- Visible tracks or worn trails through gravel and dust
- Pets agitated or barking at a specific fence line at dusk
- Droppings on the patio, walkway, or near the AC unit
- Dug holes under a shed, fence, or slab foundation
- Live sightings of the same animal at dawn or dusk
Straight Talk
How Wildlife Removal Is Priced
Honest pricing, no flat number on a website, because a single raccoon in a trash can is a different job than a den of coyotes under your shed. Price depends on the species, how many animals are involved, how many traps we set, and how many days we monitor. You get a free quote over the phone and a clear, itemized price before any work starts. If an inspection is needed, that fee is credited toward the removal. No surprise add-ons, no "it'll cost more once we get there."
Customer Feedback
What Customers Say About Our Wildlife Removal
"A javelina had cornered my dog against the fence and wouldn't leave. I called Blue Desert and they were out the same afternoon, trapped it humanely, and told me the Palo Verde fruit was what kept bringing them in. Haven't seen one since."

"Coyotes were circling my yard every night going after my chickens. They set up and monitored the traps for a few days, got the problem animal relocated, and gave me real advice on fortifying the coop. Total pros."
