The right information helps us evaluate the problem
Before Requesting Wildlife Service
Describe the activity
Tell us whether you hear scratching, running, chirping, chewing or fluttering and whether the activity occurs during the day or at night.
Identify the affected area
Note whether the problem involves an attic, wall, crawl space, chimney, vent, roof, lawn, deck, shed or another location.
Do not seal an active opening
Closing an entry point too early can trap wildlife inside or separate a mother from dependent young.
Provide safe evidence
Exterior photographs, droppings, tracks, damage or audio recordings may help narrow the likely species.
Inspection and Identification
The animal, activity area, season and entry points guide the plan.
Removal and Monitoring
The method should match the species, access and possible young.
Exclusion and Cleanup
Follow-up may include repair, screening or sanitation.
Removal and exclusion must occur in the correct sequence
Why Wildlife Entry Points Should Not Be Closed Immediately
Sealing an active opening can trap wildlife inside, force animals into occupied rooms or separate adults from dependent young.
The animal, season, location and possible presence of young should be evaluated before permanent repairs begin.
After the structure is confirmed clear, entry points can be screened, closed or repaired as appropriate.

Common wildlife removal questions
Wildlife Removal FAQ
How do I know what animal is in my attic or walls?
The time of activity, sound pattern, entry point, tracks, droppings and nesting material help narrow the species. An inspection is usually needed for confirmation.
Should I seal the wildlife entry point myself?
No. Sealing an active opening can trap wildlife inside or separate a mother from dependent young.
How are nuisance animals removed?
Depending on the species and conditions, the plan may involve trapping, direct removal, one-way devices or another controlled method.
Do you provide wildlife exclusion and repairs?
Yes. Confirmed entry points may be screened, closed or repaired after the structure is clear. Major trade work may require another contractor.
Do you remove dead animals and address odor?
Yes. Dead wildlife may be removed from accessible areas, with odor-source and limited cleanup evaluation when applicable.
Do you provide residential and commercial service?
Yes. Qualifying wildlife and pest-control requests are accepted for homes, businesses and managed properties.
Do you serve all of Virginia?
Service is available throughout Virginia, subject to location, requested service, species limitations and scheduling.
How much does wildlife removal cost?
Cost depends on the species, property, access, number of animals, removal method, entry points, repair needs and cleanup scope.
