Radical Rodent Removal
Everyone hates termites, fleas and cockroaches; pesky and destructive insects that need to be bombed into oblivion. But what is a homeowner to do if a rattler or someone’s exotic pet somehow ends up making your backyard their domicile? Don’t spray it with Raid (you might make it sick but you’ll also make it angry) or haul out the shovel (that’s cruel and gross). Instead, pick up the phone and call in the local reptile men.
Ghostbusters of the pest control world, Ben Hian and John Taibee run a business called Radical Reptiles and Friends which recently expanded from an educational/entertainment platform to rodent removal experts of the most extraordinary kind.
Radical Reptiles started from one man’s love of exotic animals and children. That sounds like a pretty funny combination but, oddly, the two are a perfect fit. Kids love creepy creatures, science and nature. It is one way we learn about our world and how we share it with other living things. Plus it’s really cool and just plain fun.
As Hian’s recognition grew, so did his demand and he gained a certain level of fame. Locals came to know him as the reptile man and people started calling him when they found weird animals in their homes, yards and neighborhoods. It happens a lot more often than you might think. Sometimes a snake or other unsavory pest wanders into human territory. Other times a pet gets loose and wanders off, ending up lost in some strange place.
Now horrified habitants don’t have to resort to extreme measures to eradicate an unusual pest problem. Radical Reptiles has expanded its services to include capture and care of loose lizards, sinister snakes and lurking lynxes. So, if you or a loved one have a critter problem and need a humane solution, call the reptile guys. They’re the coolest heroes of the urban jungle we call home.
