Common jobs

What wildlife removal pros get called for

Attic Animal Removal: Trapping and removing raccoons, squirrels, rats or opossums that have moved into attic space.
Bat Exclusion: One-way doors and sealing at gable vents, ridge caps and soffit gaps so bats leave and cannot return.
Squirrel Trapping: Setting traps at chewed soffit and roof-edge openings, then closing those openings behind them.
Raccoon Removal: Handling raccoons in attics, chimneys and under decks, including a mother with a litter of kits.
Snake Removal: Locating and removing a snake found in a basement, garage, crawlspace or yard.
Dead Animal Recovery: Finding and pulling an animal that died inside a wall, under a floor or in a duct run.
Entry Point Sealing: Screening vents, capping chimneys and closing the gaps and chew holes animals use to get in.
Droppings Cleanup: Removing soiled insulation and nesting material, then sanitizing and deodorizing the space.

Questions

Wildlife Removal questions

Can I trap the animal myself and let it go somewhere else?

Many states have rules about which wild animals you can trap, move or release, and some species are protected. A local pro will know the rules where you live. Turning one loose on your own can also leave babies behind in the attic.

There are babies in the attic. What happens to them?

Spring and summer calls are often a mother with a litter. Many wildlife pros remove the young by hand and use them to draw the mother out, or wait until the litter is old enough to leave with her. Ask the pro how they handle babies before work starts.

Why seal the holes if the animal is already gone?

The opening and the scent left behind can pull the next animal in, so trapping alone often turns into a repeat problem. Ask each pro whether closing entry points is part of their price or quoted separately.

How much does wildlife removal cost?

It depends on the animal, how many there are, where they got in, and how much repair and cleanup the job needs. Pricing varies from pro to pro and by region. Ask for the details in writing, including whether follow-up trap checks are included.

Is this the same as calling a pest control company?

Not always. Pest control usually focuses on insects and rodents, while wildlife work covers larger animals plus the trapping rules, roof repairs and exclusion that come with them. Some companies do both, so ask what the pro handles before booking.
