Wildlife Removal — Get Connected With a Local Provider

📞 CALL 1-800-895-9876 NOW

What Happens When You Call

1. You tell us the animal you have seen — or the signs, such as noises, droppings, or damage — and your ZIP code.
2. If an independent provider in the network covers your area and that type of animal, your call is connected to them.
3. The provider, not Call Pest Control 911, talks through the situation, pricing, and scheduling with you directly.

There is no charge for the referral. Providers set their own prices, and coverage is not available in every area or for every animal.

Animals We Take Calls About

• Snakes: Found in garages, crawl spaces, basements, and yards. Most are harmless, but telling them apart from a safe distance is hard. See snake removal.
• Bats: Squeeze into attics through very small gaps along the roofline. Bats are protected in many states, so removal is usually done by letting them leave and sealing the openings behind them.
• Raccoons: Strong enough to pull back soffits and shingles to reach an attic or chimney, especially females looking for a place to raise young in spring.
• Squirrels: Daytime scurrying overhead usually points to squirrels. They chew wood and wiring once they are inside an attic.
• Opossums: Tend to settle under decks, sheds, and in crawl spaces. They are rarely aggressive but should not be handled.
• Skunks: Den under porches and slabs and dig small holes in lawns looking for grubs. Getting one out without it spraying takes experience.
• Birds: Nest in dryer vents, chimneys, and eaves. Most native bird species are federally protected, which limits when and how nests can be removed.
• Moles: Leave raised tunnels and mounds across lawns. They live underground and are seldom seen.
• Mice and rats: The most common animals inside homes. See mouse control, rat control, or the broader rodent control page.

Is It Wildlife or a Pest Problem?

Insects such as ants, cockroaches, termites, and spiders are handled by pest control companies — those are covered on our pest control services page. Larger animals call for a wildlife removal provider, who uses different methods such as trapping, one-way exits, and sealing entry points, and who works under different rules.

Not sure what you are hearing? Scratching at night is most often mice, rats, or raccoons. Activity in the daytime usually means squirrels. Squeaking or fluttering near the roofline at dusk can mean bats. You do not need to know for certain before you call — describing the signs is enough.

Why Not Handle It Yourself?

• Bites and scratches: A cornered animal defends itself. Raccoons, skunks, and bats are among the animals that most often carry rabies in the United States.
• Droppings: Accumulated droppings in attics and crawl spaces can be a health hazard to clean up without protection.
• Young left behind: Trapping or blocking out an adult in spring or summer can leave babies inside the structure.
• Local rules: States regulate how wildlife may be trapped, moved, or removed, and some species are protected.
