Using species-appropriate, low-stress methods, we safely remove wildlife while ensuring the safety of your family, pets, and the animals themselves. Our approach prioritizes humane and environmentally responsible practices.
To keep wildlife from returning, we’ll seal off all entry points and repair damage such as broken vents, soffits, screens, and other vulnerable areas on your property. This step is crucial for long-term prevention.
Wildlife intrusions often leave behind droppings, nesting materials, and other waste that can pose health risks. We’ll remove all soiled materials, thoroughly sanitize affected areas, and deodorize to restore safe and healthy conditions.
We stand by the quality of our work. Our team provides follow-up guidance and tips to help you prevent future issues, ensuring your home remains wildlife-free for the long term.
Some common signs include unusual noises such as scratching or scurrying, particularly at night, droppings in or around your property, damage to structures like chewed wires or wood, foul odors, and animal tracks near entrances or attics. If you notice these signs, it's best to address the issue promptly.
To animal-proof your property, seal potential entry points such as cracks, holes, or gaps in walls, rooflines, and foundations. Install chimney caps and mesh screens on vents, keep food sources like trash or pet food securely stored, and trim back tree branches that lead to your roof. Regular inspections can help identify vulnerabilities.
Some natural repellents, like predator urine, strong-smelling herbs (e.g., peppermint or garlic), or motion-activated devices, can deter nuisance animals. Store-bought repellents, including sprays and granules, may also be effective for certain species. However, their success depends on the animal type and persistence, and they may need frequent reapplication.
Nuisance animals can carry diseases like rabies, hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella, which can pose serious health risks to humans and pets. They might also harbor fleas, ticks, or mites that spread additional diseases. It’s crucial to avoid direct contact with these animals or their waste and seek professional help for removal.
It’s unlikely that a nuisance animal infestation will resolve on its own. Many animals will continue to live and breed in a safe and resource-rich environment, potentially worsening the problem. Taking proactive steps to address the issue is important to avoid long-term damage and health risks.
While it may be tempting to attempt removal, hiring a licensed professional ensures the process is safe, humane, and thorough. DIY methods may inadvertently harm the animals or yourself and often fail to address the root causes of the infestation, leaving your property vulnerable to re-entry.
