Common Nuisance Wildlife Problems for Homeowners

The presence of wildlife can pose a challenge in urban, suburban, and rural areas, depending on available resources. These animals, while capable of living in the wild, wander close to humans due to the ready availability of food and shelter. As cities and residential communities continue to grow, encounters with uninvited wildlife become more frequent. Some common concerns include, but are not limited to:

  • Raccoons are known for rummaging through trash cans, causing a mess, and potentially spreading diseases. They are highly adaptable and intelligent, making them skilled at finding food sources in urban areas. Raccoons are excellent climbers and can access attics and chimneys.
  • Squirrels often enter homes to build nests, gnaw on electrical wires, and create structural damage. They climb easily and can access roofs and attics. Squirrels are active during the day and are known for constantly chewing to keep their teeth from overgrowing.
  • Rats can contaminate food, spread diseases, and cause structural damage by gnawing on wiring and pipes. These animals are nocturnal and highly adaptable, often fitting through small openings and breeding rapidly, making infestations a common issue.
  • Mice are similar to rats in causing food contamination and structural damage, including chewing on wires and insulation. However, mice are small and can access even smaller openings. They are prolific breeders and can quickly establish colonies within homes.

One of the primary concerns is the various points of entry these animals can exploit. Wildlife can find its way into your home through tiny openings in the roof, gaps in the siding, or cracks in the foundation. Addressing these access points is crucial in preventing future intrusions.

Our Residential Services

Our comprehensive residential services cover every aspect of wildlife control. While patterns can be observed in animal behavior, external factors like seasons or their current location can cause variations. That is why our methods for humane eviction are tailored to each residence we visit.

Animal Removal

One of the most common wildlife control services we offer is humane animal removal. Every situation calls for a unique removal strategy, involving either one-way doors or live cage traps. Whether it’s for squirrels, foxes, gophers, groundhogs, moles, mice, raccoons, rats, shrews, or voles, Critter Control is equipped to respond appropriately to your animal removal needs.

Animal Damage Repair

Discover our skilled team of experts who specialize in repairing and fortifying your property against wildlife damage. When animals enter your home, they may create larger openings or use surrounding materials as bedding, shredding and soiling them in the process. From repairing chewed wires to replacing damaged insulation, we restore your home to its original condition 

Wildlife Exclusion & Prevention

Critter Control can help prevent major problems before they start with a variety of animal exclusion techniques. Each property requires a unique prevention strategy based on home entry points, the availability of food, water, and shelter, and the type/s of animal being targeted for exclusion. 

Dead Animal Removal

Our wildlife removal services include dead animal removal, including bats, birds, mice, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, deer, and more. Dead animals can cause dangerous infections if not handled properly. They also can attract more wildlife to your residence.

Sam did a ton of work on our house when we bought it as a preventative measure against any pests, as the house was not new. We wanted to be sure no mice, bats or other pests could get in. He did all our critter control at our prior house in 2022 so we had him pest proof our next house in 2026. He is the kindest man, knowledgeable and efficient. 100% recommend. You’re buying pest control and peace of mind.

I was concerned that there might be squirrels in my attic. Alex did a complete and thorough inspection of the residential premises, and I am happy to report that he found no such evidence. Alex’s service was very thorough and professional, as well as honest. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others.

We interviewed 3 companies to evict the squirrels from our attic. Critter Control was, by far, the least expensive. Their promptness and attention to detail was A+. Brandon from Critter Control provided daily reports about the process. Brandon was the star of the show but we enjoyed working with everyone from Critter Control. Thanks Don and Julie

Josh was awesome! We had a critter stuck in our fireplace, and he took his time figuring out the best way to handle the situation. He was creative with his solutions, explained what he was going to do, and made sure we understood the process. He was also just a genuinely great person to work with! As a new homeowner, it was nice to have someone who was patient, knowledgeable, and willing to take the time to get the job done right. He never made us feel rushed, and you could tell he really cared about helping us. Critter Control, you have a great employee in Josh! I hope he gets the recognition he deserves because he did an amazing job. I would absolutely recommend Critter Control, and if we ever have another issue, I will definitely be asking for Josh again!
