Wildlife Exclusion
Our wildlife exclusion service identifies and seals entry points to prevent animal re-infestation. Technicians secure vents, cracks, and gaps using durable materials that withstand environmental conditions. This long-term solution protects properties from raccoons, squirrels, and other pests while maintaining structural integrity.
Bat Removal
Specialized bat removal employs exclusion techniques allowing safe exit while preventing re-entry. Our team installs one-way devices and seals entry points after colony evacuation. Services include guano cleanup and insulation replacement, addressing health risks from histoplasmosis and structural damage from accumulated droppings.
Raccoon Removal
Professional raccoon removal combines humane trapping with exclusion strategies. Technicians repair damaged roofing, reinforce weak spots, and sanitize contaminated areas. Our approach addresses food sources attracting raccoons while implementing preventive measures against future intrusions through attic and crawl space access points.
Bird Control
Bird control services address vent and chimney nesting through exclusion methods. We install protective covers while safely removing nests and hatchlings following wildlife regulations. Post-removal sanitation eliminates health hazards from droppings while sealing entry points prevents recurring infestations in residential and commercial properties.
Snake Trapping
Snake trapping services identify and eliminate infestations through targeted capture techniques. Our specialists locate hiding spots in basements and crawl spaces, implementing exclusion measures by sealing entry points. The process includes identifying attractants like rodent populations while ensuring safe removal of both venomous and non-venomous species.
