Affordable Wildlife Solution

Affordable Wildlife Solution is a Dartmouth company run by owner Les Botelho, working the South Coast — Dartmouth, Fall River, New Bedford, and towns out to Marion, Mattapoisett, Westport and Fairhaven. It handles nuisance wildlife — raccoons, squirrels, skunks, bats, birds and rodents — removed through live trapping and exclusion work, with chimney caps installed to keep animals from getting back in. The thing that keeps coming up is speed: a bat flying around a bedroom at 1:30 in the morning got a callback by 7 the next morning and Les at the door by 10, bat in hand for testing. One Memorial Day weekend he was at a house by noon and had the job finished that same night, after other companies had quoted a week out. Customers describe him clearing a squirrel nest from under solar panels, sealing gable vents and installing a chimney cap after a possible raccoon in the attic, and, in a 2025 review, trapping a family of seven groundhogs out of a backyard within a few days. A few reviewers mention him following up afterward to make sure the fix held. Its Better Business Bureau profile grades the company A+, and its 5.0-star ratings run consistent across platforms — 154 on Google, 96 each on HomeAdvisor and Angi. A few reviewers mention pricing or turnaround that beat other companies they'd called before finding Les. A strong call for raccoons, squirrels, bats, skunks or any other nuisance wildlife on the property — ask about the timeline for exclusion work like sealing entry points or a chimney cap, since that's often the follow-up step after the initial trapping.
