The Frontline Animal Removal Team

Frontline Animal Removal is a locally owned and operated company based in Uniontown/Hartville, OH and primarily serving Stark, Summit, and Portage Counties.

Who are we?

Dominic (L), Brian (C), Ryan (R)

Brian Briggs and Dominic Morber launched the company in 2010. Friends who fished, hunted, and trapped together, we decided to partner in becoming students and practitioners in the nuisance wildlife control field.

Passionate about effective wildlife control, we also have professional backgrounds in customer service, safety, education, and construction. Our life experience, combined with a history of successful work partnership, augments and sustains our business model.

Brian runs the day-to-day operations of the business. He’s the one you’ll talk to on the phone for requests, scheduling and pricing. He also works on jobs out in the field.

Dominic works behind behind the scenes on the website, blog, and YouTube Channel. Still a licensed nuisance wildlife operator, he makes a rare appearance on the job site.

In July 2012, Frontline Animal Removal added Ryan Kirk as an associate operator. Ryan is now a partner and the main operator; the man who sets and checks a lot of the traps and does most of the repair work. Because of this, Ryan is the face of Frontline Animal Removal to many people who do not see this page. He has attended specialty classes in Animal Damage Control and Bat Management and is a voracious researcher. Ryan is very talented at repair work and is a skilled trapper. If you read our blog or watch any of the YouTube videos, you’ll see Ryan in action. Don’t take our word for it.

Some Family, too!

In 2016, Frontline Animal Removal added a mole specialist to our team. He is none other then Jeff Briggs, Brian’s brother. Jeff and Brian have maintained a trap line together since they started with their grandpa in the 1970s. Besides trapping moles, Jeff helps out as necessary. Read more about Jeff’s mole work.

In the last few years, Dean Briggs (Brian & Jeff’s dad) has enjoyed helping us out when things get busy. A sociable retiree, Dean is well liked by the groundhog and raccoon clients he helps.

       We had such an amazing experience with Frontline. They were quick to come out and investigated until they were sure to have the problem identified. We had other companies come out who quoted us much higher and they identified the wrong animal. I cannot recommend frontline enough- they know their stuff!

      I called Frontline at 5:30 pm on a Saturday because we had a rabid raccoon at our condo development. The police had killed it but it was our responsibility to remove it. I called Frontline and Dean, our hero, came within an hour! Thank you Brian and Dean. Highly recommend!

      Happy to have used Frontline Animal Removal to get rid of the pesky raccoon squatting in our attic. Ryan had it trapped within a couple days, and reinforced the soffits on our steep roof (with multiple rooflines), to keep them out. Very responsive service.

      Ryan helped remove a dead doe from my back yard. I am so thankful. Both Ryan and Brian (owner) were friendly and professional. Reasonably priced too. Would definitely use them again, but I hope I don't have to.

      Dang he’s good! I called Frontline to install bird netting around my solar panels. Brian came out without delay and in a matter of an hour or two had everything buttoned up. Great work, awesome service, and extremely friendly. Highly recommend.

      My husband and I have found this company over the past several years to be very responsive, thorough, knowledgeable, and successful in ridding us of our critters (and we’ve had them all from flying squirrels to groundhogs).  And they are very fair in their billing. We give them our highest praise and HIGHLY recommend them.

      Bats and flying squirrels invaded the house and Ryan from Frontline Animal Removal inspected the house (a thorough three hour inspection) outside and inside, including the attic above the garage, and the attic above the house.  Ryan provided feedback on where the critters were getting in, and then came out to fixe everything.  He provided escape routes for the bats to get out of the attic, and then sealed everything up around the house.  After a couple of weeks, Ryan came back out and removed the escape route and sealed up that small remaining spot.  Frontline was recommended to me by my neighbor and they were really spectacular and are true experts in dealing with animals and critters.  I highly recommend them!
