Everything people ask us

How fast can you get to me in your state?
Most your state calls booked before early afternoon get an inspection the same day. Animals trapped inside living space, injured animals and active emergencies are dispatched straight away. Call (276) 319-2391 and you will get a real arrival window.
How much does wildlife removal cost in your state?
It depends on the species, the entry points and the cleanup. Every your state quote is flat and given in writing after inspection. Single-animal removals sit at the low end; full exclusions and attic restorations are quoted after we see the roof line.
Do you remove animals humanely?
Wherever the species and season allow, yes. Live capture and one-way exclusion doors are the default. We do not seal young inside a structure, which is why timing matters for bats and spring litters.
Do you seal the entry point or just remove the animal?
We seal it. Removal alone leaves an open door, and something else finds it within weeks. Exclusion is quoted as part of the job, not sold to you afterwards.
What areas of your state do you cover?
We serve the whole of your state, including rural counties. If you are not sure whether your address is covered, call (276) 319-2391 and we will confirm in under a minute.
Do you handle commercial properties in your state?
Yes. Restaurants, warehouses, retail, offices, schools and multi-unit housing, usually scheduled overnight or after hours so you do not lose trading time. Documentation is provided for inspections.
There is an animal inside my house right now. What do I do?
Close interior doors to confine it to one room, open an exterior door or window in that room if you safely can, and keep people and pets away. Do not try to corner or handle it. Call (276) 319-2391 and we will talk you through it.
Is the exclusion work warrantied in your state?
Yes. The points we seal carry a written warranty. If something gets back in through one of them, we return and put it right.
Do you clean up after the animals?
Yes. Droppings, nesting material, contaminated insulation and odour are all part of the scope. An attic that has been cleared but not cleaned is still a health problem.
Can you tell me what it is over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down from when the noise happens and what it sounds like. But we do not quote blind, because treating a flying squirrel as a grey squirrel wastes your money.
Raccoon Removal: Can you remove raccoons humanely in your state?
Yes. Adults are live captured or excluded with a one-way door, and if kits are present they are removed by hand and reunited with the mother outside. Sealing the entry point comes immediately after.
Squirrel Removal: Why do I only hear them during the day in your state?
Squirrels are diurnal. Daytime scratching and rolling sounds in the attic are the clearest single indicator that you are dealing with squirrels rather than raccoons or rats.
Bat Removal & Exclusion: Is it legal to remove bats in your state?
Bats are protected in most places and exclusion is timed around maternity season. We work within those rules, which sometimes means waiting until the young can fly before the colony is sealed out.
Bird Control & Removal: Can you get birds out of my dryer vent?
Yes, and we fit a proper vent guard afterwards. A blocked dryer vent is both a fire risk and the reason your dryer stopped working well.
Snake Removal: Can you tell if it is venomous?
Yes, and identification is the first thing we do. Most snakes found around homes in your state are harmless and beneficial, but it is not worth guessing.
Skunk Removal: Will they spray during removal?
Rarely, if it is done calmly and correctly. Handling that startles a skunk is what causes spraying, so the work is deliberately slow and quiet.
Opossum Removal: Are opossums dangerous?
Not especially. They are slow, non-aggressive and they eat ticks. The problems they cause are mess, parasites and the damage done getting in.
Rat & Mouse Control: Why do traps stop working after a few weeks?
Because trapping removes the current population but not the entry points. New rodents follow the same scent trails in through the same gaps. Sealing is what ends it.
Bee, Wasp & Hornet Removal: Do you kill honey bees?
No. Honey bee colonies are removed live and relocated to a keeper wherever it is practical. Wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are treated rather than relocated.
Dead Animal Removal: Can you find it without tearing the wall apart?
Usually. Location is done by smell, fly activity and staining, and access is cut as small as practical and patched cleanly afterwards.
Attic Restoration & Cleanup: Does insulation always need replacing?
No. If contamination is localised, spot removal may be enough. Widespread droppings, urine saturation or compressed runways through the batts mean replacement is the sensible call.
Wildlife Exclusion & Proofing: What is wildlife exclusion?
Sealing every viable entry point on a building so animals cannot get in. Roof returns, soffits, fascia, vents, chimney, crawl space and utility penetrations.
General Pest Control: Do you offer recurring plans in your state?
Yes. Quarterly residential plans cover the common seasonal pests, and commercial programmes are scheduled and documented for inspections.
