Meet Nashville Wildlife Pros
Raised in the trade. Devoted to the animals.Nashville Wildlife Pros is a family wildlife removal company led by Austin Jahner, the youngest of three brothers who grew up in the business their father built. Getting an animal out of a house, and making sure it can't get back in, is work where corners often get cut. Our family name is on this work, and we take that seriously.
Two rules were drilled into Austin from the start. Take care of the homeowner, and take care of the animal. The family has worked that way since day one. We seek to always find the most humane approach to every animal issue, while offering the highest quality work to the homeowner and the strongest guarantees in the industry.
Three Brothers, One Standard
Gregory Jahner spent his career as a master carpenter in South Dakota, before moving the family to Westchester County, New York. In 1998 a client asked him for something the exterminators were not offering. The client wanted the squirrels out of the attic and the house repaired so it would not happen again. He could do both. Word spread, and a wildlife company grew out of the carpentry business. The approach was to find the openings, remove the animals without harming them, and repair the building so the work was hard to spot.
Nearly three decades later, Gregory's three sons each run a territory. Kris covers New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Thomas covers southeastern Pennsylvania. Austin, featured on CBS News in New York and ABC News in Philadelphia before heading south, brought the family methods to Middle Tennessee, where Nashville Wildlife Pros is the newest branch of the operation. The methods and materials are the same in every territory.
Being the newest location means the methods here were developed and tested in the other territories first. The eviction methods, the sealing details, and the guarantee language all have decades of family jobs behind them. The test for a finished repair is simple. If you can spot where we worked from the street, we are not done.
"After wasting money on another company who didn't fix the problem, we finally have a real solution. And the work looks terrific."
Our Humane Approach to Wildlife Removal
Every company in this industry claims to be humane. Here is what it means on our jobs.
Our core emphasis is evicting and excluding, so that the animals have the highest chance of survival. We also have strict rules around the work we will and won't perform during baby season, and make every decision based upon the welfare of the animals.
If clients call seeking only standalone trapping services, we recommend they attempt to use deterrents and other methods to encourage the animal to leave on its own before we ever consider trapping and relocation.
We do not take the decision to relocate an animal lightly. If it is genuinely required, traps are checked frequently, so an animal does not sit in a cage for a prolonged period. Every trapped female is examined for signs of nursing or pregnancy, in case she has young out of season. If she is pregnant or has young in the structure, we release her on site and delay the trapping until they are fully grown. Orphaned babies go straight to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.
When relocation is necessary we carefully choose locations that we believe will give the animals the best shot at surviving relocation. Families are kept together, and habitats with sufficient natural resources are chosen. Every animal we handle is treated with compassion and consideration.
"You could tell they genuinely care about the animals. It was refreshing to find a company like that."
Our Guarantee
Every exclusion job comes with a gold standard 10-year written guarantee. If wildlife gets back in through any point we sealed, we come back at no cost.
It’s the strongest guarantee in the industry because we use materials that are built to outlast the warranty itself.
Nearly 90% of our business comes from referrals by police stations, municipalities, and satisfied homeowners. It’s been that way since we got started. When you guarantee your work and actually stand behind it, you don’t need to spend six figures a year on advertising.
