Wildlife Removal in Brighton, MI

Like most major cities with harsh winters, Ypsilanti has its share of rodent problems. Both rats and mice find shelter and food in residential areas and will build nests in homes to prepare for the long Michigan winters.

Bats commonly roost in attics and wall voids, especially in older homes near wooded areas. Because bats are protected, Critter Control uses exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not return, followed by sealing all entry points and cleaning up hazardous guano.

Although bats can be a nuisance for home and business owners throughout the Michigan, they are protected by law and may not be harmed.

Opossums frequently take shelter under porches, decks, or in crawlspaces. While generally non-aggressive, they can create messes and attract other pests. We humanely trap and relocate opossums, then block off access points to prevent re-entry.

Skunks are most active in early spring and late fall, often digging under sheds, decks, or foundations. Their digging damages lawns, and their spray is a persistent nuisance. We use humane traps and exclusion techniques to remove skunks and prevent future problems.

These animals dig extensive burrows in yards and gardens, undermining foundations and damaging landscaping. Critter Control identifies burrow systems, uses targeted trapping, and installs barriers to keep your yard critter-free.
