Skunk Control
Knoxville residents, especially those near wooded areas and the Smoky Mountain region, frequently encounter skunks searching for food and shelter in their yards through torn turf, burrow holes, and their unmistakable scent. While removing pet food and securing trash helps prevent visits, established skunk problems need professional handling to avoid spray encounters and health risks. Effective control includes installing hardware cloth barriers, sealing foundation gaps, and fixing broken vents – especially before February’s breeding season when male skunks become more territorial and spray-prone, turning minor issues into major headaches.
Squirrel Removal
In Knoxville, 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.

Where Are They 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 wildlife removal.
- Deck: Animals like raccoons, skunks, and possums often seek shelter under decks and porches where they are protected from the elements. Installing barriers and keeping the area clean can help prevent them from taking up residence.
- Attic: Since attics are warm, dry, and easily accessed through gaps in the roof or vents, they’re a favorite spot for squirrels, bats, and other creatures. Signs of inhabitation include noises, droppings, and visible damage to insulation or wiring. Regular inspections and proper sealing of entry points are essential to prevent animals from entering this vulnerable area of your home.
- Crawlspace: Crawlspaces are often dark and damp, providing shelter and easy access to your home’s underside, attracting animals like snakes and rodents. Regular inspections and proper sealing can prevent them from making themselves at home under your house. Keeping these areas clean and well-ventilated can help deter wild animals.
- Chimney: Chimneys are a cozy nesting spot for birds, bats, and rodents. Regular inspection, maintenance, and installing a chimney cap can help keep them out and prevent blockages that could lead to fires or other hazards.
- Garage: Garages provide easy access to food and shelter for various animals, including raccoons and rodents. Proper organization and sealing of potential entry points can help keep wildlife out.
- Basement: Since they often have small cracks or openings that allow entry, basements are another common hiding spot for snakes and rodents. Regular inspection, sealing entry points, and maintaining a clean, dry environment can help deter them.
- Walls: Animals like mice and squirrels can easily find their way into wall cavities’ hidden, protected spaces to nest and breed. Signs include scratching noises and droppings around entry points. Identifying and sealing entry points and professional removal services are crucial for addressing them in the walls.
- Roof: Roofs can be entry points for squirrels, birds, and other small animals, which can cause significant damage to roofing materials and insulation. Regular roof inspections and maintenance can help identify and seal potential entry points.
