The Skunk Whisperer In The News
Formerly known as Bruha's Nuisance Wildlife Control, The Skunk Whisperer®, Inc., and Bruha are often called on to
share expertise and help the public through TV appearances and featured newspaper articles.
The Skunk Whisperer®, Inc. has been featured in Associated Press articles, Tulsa OETA Channel 11,
KTUL Channel 8 and KOTV Channel 6 news stories. OETA Public Television needed information about
foxes hunting in Tulsa's urban settings, Tulsa's KOTV CBS affiliate inquired about a family's
squirrel problem, Tulsa's KTUL ABC affiliate about the bat problem in Claremore's Code Enforcement
Building, and another time with KTUL about how The Skunk Whisperers get “paid while having fun on the job”.
KOTV described Ned as "a different breed" and KTUL said "He has the look of a safari guy, the eyes
of a naturalist, and the persona of Ace Ventura meets Dirty Harry. He is The Skunk Whisperer"
The Claremore Daily Progress Newspaper - Bats In Government Building
The Skunk Whisperer® Ned Bruha was called upon for his professional experience when bats
invaded the planning commission building at 212 South Missouri in Claremore, Oklahoma. The story also featured
his opinion on the dangers of bat guano.

Planning Commission building of its bat problem. He also
explains the particulars of bat control and the exclusion process.
KOTV Channel 6 - "Attack of the Squirrels!"
If the media comes to your home because of the extent of your wildlife problem, it has to be bad. Most folks have an easy, inexpensive solution to their wildlife problems. This family had conflicts with squirrels and woodpeckers. The squirrels were chewing on the electrical wires, and dying in the walls. The woodpeckers decided to live rent-free in their stucco wall... KOTV Channel Six was there. Formerly known as Bruha's Nuisance Wildlife Control, this took place immediately before the business name changed to The Skunk Whisperer®, Inc. Because there was more than one active drey in this large home, and because of the floor plan, some trapping was required to avoid territorial killing at their common entry point. There was only one entry exit point for the multiple squirrel families.
The Tulsa World Newspaper - Bats In Oklahoma School Building
Ned Bruha was asked to help when
over 750 bats were discovered in a northwestern Oklahoma school.
The Skunk Whisperer And The Tulsa Entrepreneurial Spirit Award
Founded to reward the entrepreneurial spirit, The Tulsa Spirit Award is designed to recognize Tulsa
businesses. With a prestigious panel of judges, they pick who best meets a list of predetermined business criteria, including
a strong business plan, viability, potential for growth and development, and a commitment to Tulsa.
In November 2007, Ned and Betsey Bruha were proud to accept the third place award for their business
The Skunk Whisperer®, Inc., which offers humane wildlife removal and prevention services.
Ned Bruha On The Tulsa Entrepreneurial Spirit Award "This business plan and presentation
contest has been a great experience. Kudos to
Mayor Kathy Taylor and Spirit Bank for investing in Tulsa's entrepreneurial spirit,
and recognizing our business as an up and coming Tulsa based asset.
We thank all of our business coaches, our CPA, friends, contractors, co-workers,
lawyers, graphic artists, search engine optimization officers, and clients for helping
us get to this point. We have a great reputation because of all of your support and patronage."
"Most of all, I thank my beautiful bride of ten years today (November 2007), who has supported and
encouraged our business from day one. Without her support, this would not be possible.
An entrepreneur cannot make it to the top, or out the front door, without a strong partner.
This partner must be intellectual, analytical, moral, competent, good with numbers and concepts.
I am lucky to have these essential traits possessed by my bride, Betsey."

An Invitation To Videographers, Students And The Media
If you are with the media, and would like an interview for television, radio, newspapers, magazines,
or a school project - please ask. We get paid while having fun and we would love to have you come along.
The public loves "fluffy
stories" and we are
the definition of "fluff".
Wildlife control is also a very fascinating subject in itself - we know this because
every time we are in the public eye, such as in a hardware store, people always want to hear
our stories, tell us theirs, and get advice. Every day we have new stories to tell that the
average person loves to hear about. Many of our customers may not mind having a news crew around -
it will possibly help take away their overwhelming feelings about their wildlife problems.
