AAAC Wildlife Removal of Columbia, SC

Hi there! We’re Jesse and Megan Tenley, proud owners of AAAC Wildlife Removal of Columbia SC. As a local, family-run, veteran-owned, and woman-led business, we’re passionate about protecting homes and businesses in our community. We have four wonderful children and one adorable grandson who inspire us every day.

Our journey into wildlife removal was fueled by a shared dream—to build a business that not only supports our family but also creates meaningful careers for others. Jesse’s extensive wilderness experience and problem-solving skills, combined with our commitment to outstanding customer service, made this the perfect path for us.

Jesse’s career in wildlife removal began in 2011 when he started working with his brother, Vince, at AAAC Wildlife Removal of Columbia SC. Little did we know, this experience was laying the groundwork for our future. In 2014, we fulfilled our dream of business ownership by purchasing the Columbia franchise. Since then, we’ve dedicated ourselves to growing the business and strengthening our ties within the local community.

Over the past several years, we’ve built an incredible team—one that includes our entire family. Our sons, JT and Hank, love working outdoors, handling wildlife, and tackling hands-on projects. Our daughters, Dallas and Bridgett, thrive in marketing and office management alongside Megan. Bridgett’s husband, Caleb, has become one of our lead Wildlife Technicians. It’s been a blessing beyond anything we could have imagined!

As parents ourselves, we understand how crucial it is to keep your family’s home or business safe and secure. That’s why we’re passionate about delivering more than just wildlife removal—we’re here to provide peace of mind. We go above and beyond for our clients, backed by continuous employee training that exceeds industry standards.

We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured to handle wildlife challenges and perform damage repairs for both residential and commercial properties. With AAAC Wildlife Removal of Columbia SC, you can trust that your property is in expert hands.

I had established moles in my yard when I bought my house, and grub killer didn’t work. After numerous applications, I researched online and found AAAC Wildlife, and it’s been a positive experience since my first phone call. These people are nice and know what they’re doing. It’s a family-owned local business so they’re truly invested. They’ve been wonderful to me, very responsive and reasonable, and I was pleasantly surprised at the nice discount for repeat customers. We seem to be making headway on the moles in my yard, which they trap and take away. I have high trust with Jesse, Megan, and Bridgett, and highly recommend their services.

My husband and I were very impressed with AAAC when we had an issue with a critter at our personal residence. They came immediately and assured us the matter would be taken care of and not to worry. The feeling of relief was wonderful! I have also obtained their services numerous times for my Community Association business for beaver and squirrel removal. What is most impressive about AAAC is they are always consistent with their friendly customer service and response time. In my opinion no matter if you have a personal or business matter they are the true professionals to call.
