Why Choose Professional Animal Removal?

Many homeowners underestimate the damage and risks that wildlife infestations can cause. DIY removal methods are often ineffective, unsafe, and illegal for certain protected species. Here’s why hiring professional animal removal experts is the best option:

🦝 Prevent Property Damage

• Animals like raccoons, squirrels, and rodents can chew through wires, insulation, and wood, creating fire hazards and structural issues.
• Wildlife infestations can compromise your attic, basement, or crawl space, leading to expensive repairs.

🦇 Protect Your Family’s Health

• Bats, raccoons, and rodents can carry rabies, leptospirosis, and other harmful diseases.
• Animal droppings (guano, feces, and urine) can cause respiratory illnesses and contamination.
• Some species, like skunks, can spray toxic chemicals that are difficult to remove from your home.

🐍 Ensure Safe & Humane Removal

• Wildlife removal must be done legally and ethically to avoid harming protected species.
• Our team follows state and federal guidelines to trap and relocate animals safely.

🏡 Prevent Future Infestations

• Simply removing animals isn’t enough—you need to seal entry points and secure your home.
• Our experts provide comprehensive exclusion solutions to keep wildlife from returning.

Our Professional Animal Removal Process

Our step-by-step wildlife removal process ensures thorough, humane, and effective pest control.

Step 1: Comprehensive Property Inspection

Our first step is a detailed inspection of your home or business to:
✅ Identify signs of animal activity (scratching, noises, nesting, droppings).
✅ Locate entry points (cracks, vents, chimneys, soffits).
✅ Assess property damage caused by animals.
✅ Determine the best removal strategy based on the species.

Step 2: Safe & Humane Wildlife Trapping

Once we identify the problem, we set up specialized, humane traps to capture and relocate animals safely. Our trapping methods include:
✔️ Live trapping & relocation – We carefully remove the animal and release it in a safe habitat.
✔️ One-way exclusion doors – Allows animals to exit but not return.
✔️ Custom deterrents – We use scent repellents, barriers, and exclusion techniques to prevent reinfestation.

Step 3: Wildlife Exclusion & Home Sealing

After removing the nuisance animal, we focus on long-term prevention by:
🛠️ Sealing holes, vents, soffits, and crawl spaces.
🛠️ Installing chimney caps and rodent-proof barriers.
🛠️ Reinforcing weak points on the roof, siding, and foundation.

Step 4: Cleanup & Sanitation

Wildlife can leave behind dangerous contaminants, including:

• Droppings and urine that spread disease.
• Parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites.
• Odors that attract more wildlife.

We provide professional cleanup and decontamination services to restore your home to a safe and sanitary condition.
