Tucson's #1 Wildlife Control Company

Animal Experts Inc. was established in 1991 by Marc Hammond and Jeff Carver. They have been working with wildlife and domestic animals for over 40 years. Their company offers a unique service that humanely captures and removes wildlife. This includes mice, bats, rats, squirrels, pigeons, javelina, raccoons, skunks, bobcats, and much more.

In addition to wildlife, they offer preventative maintenance services and education that prevents unwanted wildlife from entering your home and establishing residence on your property. Their passion is doing wildlife presentations on wildlife safety prevention and wildlife conservation. They believe that education is the key to creating a balance in our ecosystem in order for humans to live with wildlife. They practice what they preach by posting weekly videos on social media about the animals they’ve captured, their relevance to the ecosystem, and fun facts about the animal.

Marc and Jeff had the opportunity to educate millions of viewers by being featured on 9 episodes of National Geographic’s “Animal Extractors”. Several years later they were featured on 8 episodes of Nat Geo Wild’s “When Nature Calls”. They’ve been featured on three separate wildlife documentaries on wolves, badgers, and “how roadrunners eat rattlesnakes”. There is nothing they love more than being on all four local news stations. They love sharing exciting animal stories and giving advice to the community they love and adore.

Book Fellowship - June 26
Hello all Rotary Club of Tucson members! The next meeting of the non-fiction book club fellowship will be held:
 
Wednesday, June 26 at Noon
Vero Amore Restaurant - 2920 N Swan Rd
Book - Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey
 
We will be meeting for lunch, as our regular club lunch meeting is not being held that day.  Please let me know if you plan to attend at nxstockton@gmail.com or 303-378-1770. 
 
Also, please let me know if you would like to be included on the book club email distribution list.  I limit all-club emails to a maximum of one per month, the goal being to assure all new members are aware of our activities while refraining from inundating those who are not interested. 
 
Thanks!
