Expert Wildlife Removal – Ratpack Pest Control
At Ratpack Pest Control, we understand how unsettling it can be to discover uninvited wildlife in or around your home. Whether it's raccoons rummaging through your attic, squirrels nesting in your walls, or birds finding shelter in vents, wildlife intrusions can cause significant stress, damage, and potential health risks. That's why we offer comprehensive, humane wildlife removal services made to protect both your property and the animals involved.
Why Wildlife Removal Is Important
Wild animals may seem cute or harmless from a distance, but once they enter your living space, they can pose serious problems. Animals such as raccoons, opossums, squirrels, bats, and birds can:
- Damage to insulation, wiring, and wooden structures
- Leave behind droppings and urine, which may carry harmful bacteria and parasites
- Introduce fleas, ticks, or mites into your home
- Create noise disturbances, especially at night
- Attract more pests, including predators
Our team at Ratpack Pest Control is trained to safely remove wildlife from residential and commercial properties, and we take every precaution to ensure the safety of your family, pets, and the animals themselves.
Our Humane Approach
We believe that wildlife deserves to be treated with respect. At Ratpack Pest Control, our removal strategies are 100% humane and follow state and federal regulations. Instead of using harmful traps or poisons, we use live-catch traps, exclusion techniques, and relocation practices that prioritize the well-being of the animals.
Once removed, the wildlife is carefully relocated to a more appropriate habitat where it can thrive without threatening homes or human safety.
What to Expect from Our Wildlife Removal Process
When you contact us for wildlife removal, our process is thorough, professional, and tailored to your specific situation.
1. Inspection
We always start with a detailed inspection of your home. We look for entry points, signs of animal activity (like droppings, noises, or nesting materials), and assess the type of animal causing the issue. This allows us to develop a precise plan of action.
2. Customized Removal Plan
Not all wildlife situations are the same. A squirrel in the attic requires a different strategy than a family of raccoons in a crawlspace. Our team crafts a removal plan based on the species, severity of the infestation, and location of the animals.
3. Safe and Humane Removal
Using specialized traps and tools, we humanely remove the animals from your property. We are licensed and experienced in handling a wide range of wildlife, ensuring a smooth and safe process.
4. Exclusion and Prevention
Once the wildlife is removed, we focus on keeping them out for good. We'll seal up entry points, repair damage caused by the animals, and offer recommendations for keeping your home wildlife-free. This might include chimney caps, vent guards, and advice on yard maintenance.
5. Clean-Up and Sanitization
Wildlife can leave behind more than just damage—they often bring bacteria and waste. We provide clean-up and sanitization services to remove droppings, disinfect affected areas, and ensure your home is safe and hygienic again.
Common Wildlife We Remove
While we're equipped to handle a wide variety of critters, here are some of the most common wildlife intruders we encounter:
- Raccoons – Known for nesting in attics and rummaging through trash, raccoons can be aggressive and cause major damage.
- Squirrels – These agile animals often chew through wiring and insulation, posing fire hazards.
- Bats – Bats are protected in many areas, so it's essential to remove them carefully and lawfully. We use exclusion techniques to get them out without harm.
- Opossums – Opossums are nocturnal scavengers that can carry disease and often seek shelter under decks or in sheds.
- Birds – Nesting birds in vents or chimneys can block airflow and create fire risks.
- Groundhogs and skunks – These burrowers can cause damage to foundations, gardens, and even sidewalks.
If you're dealing with any of these animals—or something more unusual—give us a call. We're ready to help.
