Detailed Inspection
When it comes to wildlife invasions, each situation is unique, and that’s why we begin with a thorough, personalized inspection of your property. We look for entry points, damage to your structure, and signs of nesting or wildlife activity. Whether its raccoons hiding in your attic, squirrels chewing through your eaves, or skunks burrowing under your shed, we leave no stone unturned. Every detail matters because a missed entry point could mean a future invasion. Our expert team knows exactly what to look for to identify how these unwanted guests got in and how to prevent their return. This step is critical because it not only assesses the current problem but also gives us a roadmap for preventing future wildlife issues.

Humane Eviction
Once we’ve identified the issue, our focus shifts to safely evicting the animals using the most humane methods possible. We know that raccoons, squirrels, bats, skunks and all wildlife are not simply pests—they’re part of the ecosystem. That’s why we use ethical techniques that prioritize the well-being of the wildlife while ensuring your home is protected. Our methods are designed to remove and evict these animals to their natural environment outside your home, without causing them harm. Humane eviction means no toxic chemicals, poisons or pesticides, no harm to the animals, and no danger to your family. We take the time to handle every situation with care, ensuring both your home and the wildlife are treated with respect.

Sealing the Entry Points
Once the animals are safely evicted, the next step is prevention. Removing the wildlife is only part of the solution, if the entry points remain open, new critters will quickly take their place. We carefully inspect your home to find all entry points, no matter how small, and seal them with durable, wildlife-resistant materials. Whether it’s chewed roof vents, gaps in the roof edges, damaged soffits and eaves or flaws in the foundation, we make sure your home is sealed tight. Our exclusion methods are designed to withstand the persistent efforts of wildlife trying to re-enter. We don’t just temporarily fix the problem, we make sure it doesn’t happen again, giving you peace of mind.

Follow-Up and Prevention
DIY Dangers
Wildlife Removal in Urban Environments
As urban areas continue to expand, encounters with wildlife are becoming increasingly common. From raccoons and squirrels to skunks and bats, urban environments provide habitats for a variety of wildlife species. While it may be tempting to handle wildlife removal on your own, significant dangers are associated with DIY wildlife removal in urban settings.
One of the primary risks of DIY wildlife removal is the potential for personal injury. Many urban wildlife species can become aggressive when they feel threatened or cornered. Attempting to remove wildlife without the proper knowledge and equipment can lead to bites, scratches, and other injuries. Additionally, some wildlife may carry diseases such as rabies, making direct contact particularly hazardous.
DIY wildlife removal methods often lack the humane approach necessary for dealing with these creatures. Improper trapping or handling techniques can cause unnecessary stress and harm to the animals, leading to inhumane outcomes. In contrast, professional wildlife removal services are trained to handle wildlife in ways that prioritize both human safety and animal welfare.
Another significant concern with DIY wildlife removal is the potential for property damage. Wildlife, especially larger species like raccoons and opossums, can cause extensive damage to homes and buildings when attempting to gain entry or establish nests. Without the expertise to effectively prevent and repair such damage, homeowners may face costly repairs as a result of their DIY efforts.
Moreover, many urban wildlife species are protected by laws and regulations that govern their removal and relocation. Without a thorough understanding of these legal considerations, individuals may inadvertently violate wildlife protection statutes, leading to legal consequences and penalties.
In conclusion, while the presence of wildlife in urban environments can be concerning, DIY wildlife removal is not the solution. The risks of personal injury, property damage, inhumane treatment of animals, and legal issues outweigh the perceived benefits of handling wildlife removal independently. Instead, homeowners should seek professional wildlife removal services that can safely and effectively address wildlife issues while prioritizing both human and animal well-being.
