Wildlife Problems in Summerville, SC
Close enough to the coast to feel the humidity, Summerville, SC, experiences warm temperatures nearly year-round. Even winters remain mild in the city. This fair weather allows the wildlife pests of the area to stay active and cause persistent problems for homeowners.
South Carolina Squirrels
Like most people in the U.S., Summerville residents have run-ins with the eastern gray squirrel, but they also come into conflict with a more local pest, the southern flying squirrel. Both of these animals will use attics as dens. While trying to gain access, squirrels often damage roofing material, rip up window screens, and bend vent covers.
Bats Indoors
When natural shelters are unavailable, bats will roost in South Carolina homes. However, these animals do not chew their way into attics. A bat uses existing gaps and holes to get inside, and most species can move through a space that's the size of a dime. The simplest way to keep colonies from roosting in an attic is to keep roofs and home exteriors sealed and in good repair.
Raccoons and Disease
As scavengers, raccoons eat anything they can get their paws on. The pests often visit Summerville lawns where trashcans and gardens offer enticing meals. In addition to being a rabies risk, the animals' droppings may contain raccoon roundworm, which can infiltrate the soil beneath their waste. Young children are especially prone to infection when raccoons invade backyard play areas.
Other Summerville Pests
South Carolina residents also find groundhogs and pigeons on their property. A groundhog makes large burrow entrances that are damaging to lawns and a hazard to homeowners. Pigeon droppings tarnish buildings and pollute swimming pools and backyard ponds. The birds carry ticks and mites as well.

Wildlife Control Reviews
Our current technician is very good. He always calls us the day before so we know when he is coming. He also has done a very good job keeping pocket gophers in check.

Mike did our service today. He was awesome! He addressed and resolved a couple of critter issues we were having. It's really helpful to be reminded when he was coming and texted me when he was on his way. Thank you for the great service!

We appreciate that your company was able to rid our property of the squirrel activity that we observed. We were concerned that the squirrels would dig under the foundation of our house (which had happened to a neighbor in our area).
Thank you for doing what you said you would do to eliminate this squirrel activity.

It has been very effective at reducing the number of mice, lizard, and snake sightings. During one visit Edgar removed a rattlesnake he came across. We may see a snake maybe two to three times during the spring and summer months, but it has been far less than before.

Melinda is a true professional. She has helped us maintain a "critter-free" home. Whenever a mole decides to visit our property, she is right on top of it. Her recommendations about mosquito control made a big difference for my boys to be able to enjoy our backyard.

We use Critter Control to deter snakes. We haven't seen any since using the monthly service. They are quick to answer questions and explain snake behavior. Also, if any are found they remove them with no extra charge.

Have been using for almost 10 years after a record rat invasion. The help I had back then was like a super-helpful friend taking a few weeks to rid me of that invasion. Over the years I have had a few other representatives. They are always nice and helpful.

On recommendations from a nearby pest control company, I called Critter Control for suspicious
bat droppings.
Madison came out the same day to do an inspection. She was knowledgeable, thorough, and highly professional. She examined the ‘matter’ that had been scattered on my threshold and thought it was foliage. But she then asked to go up to my attic space where the bats could be roosting. She had to walk up 3 flights of stairs with a heavy ladder. She again spent some time searching all the nooks and crannies and found nothing.
She seemed so interested in her craft, it was truly inspiring to see! She reassured me and is writing up a prevention strategy for my appraisal. She charged me NOTHING!! I am so impressed. We need more Madisons in this world!

Bat Removal in San Diego
Daniel did a great job pigeon proofing. We have a huge pigeon problem in our neighborhood and the pigeons were roosting in the gutters of my house and my two next door neighbors, who also had nests in their gutters and under their air conditioner. Pigeon poop filled our gutters, and was piled on the outside floor when I bought the house. Since Daniel's pigeon proofing, and my neighbors also pigeon proofing their gutters, fireplace chimney, air conditioners, and removal of nest, I rarely see pigeons any more. Only the lovely native sparrows, robins, vermillion fly catchers, and mourning doves visit our property now.
