CINCINNATI, OH — October 23, 2026 — Trapperz Animal Removal, a locally owned, humane wildlife removal company serving Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky, and Lexington, Kentucky, is proud to announce its recognition as a 2026 Better Business Bureau (BBB) Spark Awards honoree.
The recognition celebrates emerging businesses and young entrepreneurs who demonstrate exceptional character, ethical business practices, strong workplace cultures, and a commitment to their communities.
Trapperz Animal Removal was recognized during the Cincinnati Better Business Bureau's Centennial Gala on October 22, 2026, at Cincinnati Music Hall, marking an important milestone for the rapidly growing wildlife removal company.
For Trapperz, the honor represents more than business growth. It reflects the company's commitment to providing homeowners with reliable, humane animal removal services while raising the standard of professionalism within the wildlife control industry.
A Cincinnati Wildlife Removal Company Built on Trust and Humane Practices
Founded by young entrepreneur Autumn Mough, Trapperz Animal Removal was established with a straightforward mission: to provide humane, effective wildlife removal solutions that address the source of the problem instead of simply removing an animal and leaving homeowners vulnerable to another infestation.
Unlike traditional wildlife trapping services that may focus exclusively on capturing nuisance animals, Trapperz emphasizes complete wildlife exclusion, entry-point repairs, and long-term prevention.
The company specializes in identifying how wildlife enters residential and commercial properties, safely addressing animal activity, and repairing vulnerable openings to help prevent future problems.
Trapperz provides professional wildlife removal services for:
Raccoon removal: Humane solutions for raccoons entering attics, chimneys, roofs, and other structural openings.
Squirrel removal: Identification of squirrel entry points, appropriate removal methods, and full-home exclusion solutions.
Bat removal: Species-appropriate bat exclusion services designed to protect both homeowners and wildlife.
Animal removal from attics: Comprehensive inspections for scratching, movement, and wildlife activity inside attic spaces.
Bird removal: Solutions for nuisance birds entering vents, roofs, and other areas of buildings.
Wildlife exclusion: Professional sealing and reinforcement of entry points to help prevent animals from returning.
Attic remediation: Cleanup and remediation services to address affected attic spaces after wildlife activity.
By focusing on prevention alongside humane removal, Trapperz helps property owners protect their homes while minimizing unnecessary harm to wildlife.
Recognized by the Better Business Bureau for Ethical Business Leadership
The BBB Spark Awards celebrate the next generation of business leaders who prioritize character, company culture, and community involvement.
Being selected as a 2026 Spark Awards honoree is especially meaningful for Trapperz because these principles have shaped the company's operations from the beginning.
Trapperz is a BBB Accredited Business and has built its reputation through transparent inspections, thorough wildlife removal plans, quality workmanship, and responsive customer service.
The company maintains an approximately 4.9-star average customer rating, reflecting the dedication of its inspectors, wildlife removal technicians, and support staff.
Homeowners choose Trapperz not only for help removing nuisance wildlife but also for the peace of mind that comes from understanding how an infestation occurred and what can be done to prevent it.
Raising the Standard for Humane Wildlife Removal in Ohio and Kentucky
One of Trapperz Animal Removal's defining commitments is its focus on humane wildlife control.
The company does not rely on euthanizing wildlife as its standard removal approach. Instead, its technicians use appropriate, species-specific methods and comply with applicable wildlife regulations.
Because trapping and relocating wildlife may be restricted or prohibited depending on the species and jurisdiction, Trapperz prioritizes solutions such as one-way exclusion devices and structural repairs when appropriate.
This approach addresses an important issue in the animal removal industry: removing an animal without correcting the entry point often fails to solve the underlying problem.
Trapperz believes that effective wildlife removal should protect both the homeowner and the animal whenever possible.
That philosophy is incorporated into every inspection, removal recommendation, and exclusion project.
Protecting Homes with Complete Wildlife Exclusion and a Two-Year Warranty
When squirrels, raccoons, bats, or other wildlife enter a home, removing the animal is only one part of the solution.
An opening in the roofline, soffit, fascia, vent, chimney, or foundation may continue to provide access for wildlife long after the original animal is gone.
Trapperz Animal Removal offers comprehensive wildlife exclusion services designed to identify and address these vulnerable areas.
Qualifying exclusion work is backed by a two-year exclusion warranty, giving homeowners additional confidence in the company's workmanship and long-term approach.
Trapperz also offers free initial wildlife inspections, allowing property owners to better understand their wildlife problem before committing to recommended services.
The company's mission is simple: do the work properly, communicate clearly, and deliver a solution designed to last.
Investing in Employees and Giving Back to the Community
Trapperz believes the quality of its work begins with the people performing it.
The company has prioritized competitive compensation, professional development, and building a workplace where skilled wildlife removal technicians can develop long-term careers.
Beyond its employees, Trapperz is committed to supporting the communities it serves.
Through donated wildlife removal services for churches and nonprofit organizations, including organizations serving people experiencing homelessness, charitable contributions, and speaking engagements encouraging young women to pursue entrepreneurship, the company works to create an impact beyond residential wildlife control.
For founder Autumn Mough, who began working at 14 and built her career without a traditional college degree, the recognition also represents an opportunity to encourage other young entrepreneurs.
Her goal is to demonstrate that building a successful business is possible through determination, practical experience, and a willingness to learn, regardless of someone's financial background or connections.
Expanding Humane Wildlife Removal Across Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky, and Lexington
What began as a locally operated wildlife removal company has rapidly expanded into multiple service areas.
Today, Trapperz Animal Removal provides animal removal and wildlife exclusion services throughout:

Dayton, Ohio: Humane nuisance wildlife removal and long-term animal prevention solutions.
Northern Kentucky: Professional animal removal and exclusion for homeowners and businesses.
Lexington, Kentucky: Wildlife inspections, attic animal removal, raccoon and squirrel exclusion, and structural entry-point repairs.
