Because chimneys mirror the look of a hollowed-out tree trunk, it’s an attractive entry point for raccoons, squirrels, and birds. For nuisance wildlife, chimneys provide the same basic necessities that their home in the wild would: a warm, safe shelter in which to raise their young. And living in close proximity to people provides them with easy access to food and water.

This poses a health danger, as these animals carry parasites and diseases. As soon as you suspect an animal in your chimney, professional removal is required, and a cap or guard is placed on the chimney.

Beware of Raccoons, Squirrels, Birds

Located where two sides of a roof meet, gable vents allow air to flow into the attic. Gable vents are an easy target for bats, birds, squirrels, and raccoons. While bats will simply roost behind the slats, squirrels, and raccoons will use these vents to push through into your attic. Once inside, they will soil and tear insulation and gnaw on wood and wires. Critter Control can humanely remove these creatures and add mesh to your vents to reinforce them.

Beware of Birds, Bats, Squirrels

In most houses, soffits, eaves, and dormers are architectural elements vulnerable to animal entry. Rodents, squirrels, and birds are the most likely culprits, and unfortunately, these elements lead right into your attic. In addition to the parasites and diseases these animals bring, they also cause costly damage.

The sooner you call us for an inspection, the less damage these nuisance wildlife can cause. We’ll humanely remove them and seal off all gaps to prevent future infestations.

Beware of Birds, mice, squirrels

Wildlife, such as squirrels, bats, birds, and even snakes, are attracted to various vents as they usually have warm air flowing through them. Call Critter Control for an inspection, as wildlife in vents can become clogged with sticks, dry grass, and leaves, causing a fire hazard when nests block the flow of air. We can not only remove wildlife from your vents but also install mesh to keep wildlife out.

Beware of Birds, squirrels, bats, snakes

Ridge vents are installed at the peak of roofs as an air exhaust. While a necessary part of your roof, it is also an area where wildlife can easily push through to your attic. Squirrels, roof rats, and raccoons feel the escaping warm air and know there’s a warm space inside for them to nest. Don’t let these parasite- and disease-ridden animals make your home theirs, as the damage they cause is costly. We can get rid of them humanely and protect your home with guards.

Beware of Birds, Raccoons, Squirrels

Opossums, skunks, armadillos, and woodchucks are the most common wildlife that see the underside of your deck or porch as a ready-made place to build their den. In addition to a foul smell, these animals will bring parasites and diseases too close to your home, will threaten pets, and ruin your garden. After humanely removing the critter living there, we install barriers to ensure another animal won’t move in.

Beware of Skunks, Opossums

Most doors and windows contain gaps that are just large enough for mice, rats, snakes, and chipmunks to squeeze through. And shutters are a favorite spot for bats to roost. While bats don’t cause much damage, their feces contain a fungus that causes histoplasmosis. Rodents and chipmunks will find a hidden area to nest and reproduce, like your attic or basement. These creatures will taint food, leave feces everywhere, and cause damage to walls, wires, and insulation.

Call us immediately to stop the growth of this infestation and locate and fix all gaps.
