We provide this service for both our residential and our commercial customers. We can offer a custom solution for almost any type of wildlife problem, whether it be a squirrel running through your attic, a colony of bats living in a building or the destructive behavior of a raccoon. We have 3 wildlife damage control agents on staff, to help you with any wildlife issues you may have.
Raccoons - often become a structural pest when they damage lawns, build nests in chimneys, attics or under porches. They are primary carrier of rabies in the state of NC.
Bats - common misconception, they are not blind. They will commonly nest in open gables and in attics of homes. Few bats actually carry rabies, however an accumulation of droppings in attics or soil creates an environment which is suitable for histoplasmosis capsulatum. This is a fugal organism which can produce the respiratory illness histoplasmosis.
Squirrels - commonly enter structures and cause considerable damages. Often gnaw on wood, cables or electrical wiring and almost ant stored item.
We also trap and exclude beavers, moles, muskrats, snakes, opossums, coyotes, foxes, birds, pigeons, rats and mice.
