about us

Optimal Wildlife Control was started to give people a better alternative than dealing with the big name pest companies out there who see most of their clients as nothing more than another stop on their calendar. Besides helping with my client’s pest concerns, I genuinely make an effort to be personable and get to know my clients by hearing out their side of the story on each job I get to.

I’ve worked in the nuisance wildlife field as a certified Wildlife Control Operator going on 6 years now as of 2026 for some of the larger companies in Minnesota, and got tired of seeing clients overpay for a mediocre service at best. It is our duty as WCO’s to ensure we are offering the utmost professional service in this field, and that is what Optimal strives for each and every visit.

A little background on me, I love spending time in the outdoors any chance I can get which is why this line of work makes me love getting out of bed every day. I am an avid hunter and fisherman here in MN, but have traveled to many places in the country to chase after fish and game. Family and friends will always trump everything else in life, they are my world and I wouldn’t have made it this far without each and every one of them!

I am greatly looking forward to our next visit to help you out with your critter issues hope to hear from you soon!
