Our Comprehensive Wildlife Services

Alpha Wildlife provides a full range of wild animal removal services tailored to the specific needs of the residents in this area, prioritizing the safety of your home and the animals.

Squirrel Removal

In Memphis, three main squirrel species – Eastern Gray, Eastern Fox, and Southern Flying squirrels – commonly invade attics, with timing of scratching noises indicating which type you have (daytime for tree squirrels, night for flying). These rodents are especially active during fall and their two breeding seasons (December-February and May-June), when they’ll damage wiring, store food, and use insulation for nests. Due to health risks from parasites and diseases, professional removal using live traps or one-way exits is recommended.

Raccoon Removal

Tennessee’s official wild animal, the raccoon, can be found throughout most of the United States and becomes particularly active during their February mating season. While they don’t hibernate, they seek shelter during cold months – sometimes choosing attics where they create noise and havoc. Come spring, mother raccoons search for nesting spots to birth their 3-4 kits, which explains daytime sightings during this period. These clever but destructive creatures can tear through roofs and soffits, damage insulation and wiring, and contaminate spaces with droppings, making it essential to contact wildlife professionals who can safely remove them using humane methods like live traps or one-way doors.

Opossum Removal

While opossums frequently visit Memphis yards and provide natural pest control by eating ticks and rodents, they usually move on within days and are best left alone. However, when they enter homes, these typically solitary animals become major nuisances, creating constant disruption with their screaming, hissing, and thumping, while also leaving unsanitary droppings throughout. If you find an opossum has taken up residence in your house or under your deck, it’s important to contact wildlife removal experts quickly to address the situation.

Skunk Control

Signs of skunks are often spotted when Memphis skunks frequently explore yards for food and burrowing spots near sheds, porches, and foundations, where their digging can cause structural damage. These signs include torn-up lawns, shredded grass from hunting grubs and insects, and distinctive pungent odors. While removing food sources like pet food and securing trash bins helps prevent their visits, professional help is recommended for how to get rid of skunks and how to get skunks out from under the house to avoid getting sprayed and potential disease transmission. The most effective skunk control methods include exclusion through sealing foundation gaps, screening broken vents, and installing hardware cloth around sheds and decks. This becomes especially important during February’s breeding season when male skunks become more active and territorial, often spraying during competition for mates and turning minor skunk problems into major ones.

Bat Control

Of Tennessee’s sixteen bat species, the Little Brown Bat is the most common, with their presence typically revealed through guano droppings that can compromise building stability and spread fungal diseases. While only certain species inhabit attics, they often form large nursery colonies during summer months, leading to strict state regulations that prohibit colony removal between May 1st and August 1st when baby bats can’t fly, and completely ban lethal removal methods.

Where Could Critters Be Hiding in Your Home?

They can find their way into many parts of your home, often in search of shelter and food. Identifying these hiding spots is crucial for effective critter removal.

  • Attic: Attics provide a warm and dry environment, making them a favorite spot for squirrels, bats, and raccoons. Signs of wild animals in the attic include noises, droppings, and visible damage to insulation or wiring.
  • Crawlspace: Crawlspaces are often dark and damp, attracting animals like snakes and rodents. Keeping crawlspaces clean and well-ventilated can help deter animals.
  • Chimney: Chimneys offer a cozy nesting spot for birds and bats. Installing a chimney cap and regular maintenance and inspection can help keep wild animals out and prevent blockages that could lead to fires or other hazards.
  • Garage: Garages can provide easy access to food and shelter for various animals, including raccoons and rodents. Keeping your garage door closed and storing food securely can deter wildlife.
  • Basement: Basements are another common hiding spot for snakes and rodents. Ensuring your basement is well-sealed and clutter-free can help prevent wild animal infestations.
  • Walls: Walls provide hidden and protected spaces for wild animals, such as mice and squirrels, to nest and breed. Signs of rodents in the walls include scratching noises and droppings around entry points.
  • Roof: Roofs can be entry points for various wildlife, including birds, which can cause significant damage to roofing materials and insulation. Regular roof inspections and maintenance can help identify and seal potential entry points.
  • Deck: Decks provide shelter for animals like raccoons and skunks. Installing barriers and keeping the area clean can help prevent wild animals from taking up residence.
