Wildlife Control Solutions for your Home or Business
Looking for reliable wildlife control services to protect your home or business? As urban areas expand, local wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, bats, and skunks often venture into human spaces, seeking food and shelter. Without secure entry points, they may settle into your attic, garage, chimneys, and even wall voids, posing risks to your property’s safety.
These animals, although not aggressive by nature, can become dangerous if they feel threatened—especially when protecting their young. Once inside, they can cause severe structural damage and expose you to health risks from diseases and parasites, such as rabies, roundworms, and ticks. Spring through Fall is the peak time for wildlife issues, making it essential to inspect for any cracks or gaps in your property that could become entry points.
Wildlife removal isn’t a DIY project. Due to strict legal guidelines and the expertise required, it's best to rely on experienced wildlife control professionals who understand humane and safe removal practices. Protect your property and ensure peace of mind with a professional wildlife control solution tailored to your needs.
Abell Pest Control goes beyond pest control—we specialize in humane wildlife control to keep your property safe and pest-free. Whether you need raccoon, skunk, or squirrel removal, full exclusion, or preventative wildlife control, our trained technicians have the tools and expertise to address even the most challenging situations.
Our process begins with a comprehensive inspection to identify potential entry points or current animal activity. Our professionals, who understand wildlife behavior and habits, know exactly where to look to protect your property effectively. Common vulnerable areas include chimneys, vents, wall openings, and roofs, which should all be sealed to keep critters out.
Sanitation plays a key role in wildlife prevention, too. Using heavy-duty garbage cans with secure lids and keeping your property free from debris, like lumber or garbage, can greatly discourage wildlife presence around your home or business.
For removal, Abell adheres strictly to local regulations and practices humane solutions. We prioritize relocation and exclusion methods, never euthanizing nuisance animals, ensuring wildlife is removed safely without breaking family bonds.
With our experience in both pest and wildlife control, Abell is equipped to deliver effective and compassionate animal control services for your property, giving you peace of mind and a safe environment.
Wild animals need food and shelter, just like any other species. If they find an attractive place that has access to food and safety from external conditions, they may just move in permanently. They are attracted to such things as garbage, birdseed, and pet food. If possible, they will move into garages, sheds, basements, attics, wall voids, etc.
These critters are crafty – squirrels only need 1 ¼ inches of space to enter, and raccoons only 4 inches. This creates many opportunities around the home for entry, such as gaps around windows and doors, roof vents, cracks in exterior foundation, soffit and roof intersections, chimneys. It does not take much, and that is why ensuring these potential entry points are sealed up come springtime is extremely important.
Unfortunately, wildlife can be very destructive to your home or business. Once they achieve entry, they can and will cause damage by chewing through siding, insulation, drywall, electrical wiring. For example, squirrels have lower incisors that grow continuously, and need to be controlled. They can do this by grinding their teeth, but if there is material that they can chew or gnaw on, that becomes an even better solution for them.
All wildlife can cause significant and very expensive damage to your home. They can also carry disease and parasites such as ticks or fleas that can be dangerous to your home, pets and potentially your family.
The most common nuisance critters that we provide control services for are raccoons, skunks and squirrels. We also do quite a bit of work with little brown bats and big brown bats, chipmunks, opossums and sometimes groundhogs and snakes.
