Local Nuisance Wildlife
Squirrel Removal
The Eastern Gray Squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis, is a common and highly adaptable species found throughout Nashville, Tennessee. With their distinctive gray fur and bushy tails, they thrive in the city’s parks, wooded areas, and even urban neighborhoods. Nashville’s temperate climate provides an ideal environment for the Eastern Gray Squirrel to forage for acorns, seeds, and other food, especially during the fall and winter months when they gather and store food in preparation for colder weather. Their playful nature and acrobatic feats, such as leaping between trees or scaling vertical surfaces with ease, make them a source of entertainment for both children and adults. While they are generally peaceful and solitary creatures, they can become territorial during the breeding season, which typically occurs in late winter and early spring. Though they can sometimes be seen as a nuisance, particularly when they find their way into attics or bird feeders, the Eastern Gray Squirrel plays an important ecological role in seed dispersal and forest regeneration throughout the area.
Inspection
We start by looking for signs of entry points, like gaps or holes in roofs, vents, or chimneys. We check for droppings, gnaw marks, or nesting materials, such as shredded insulation or leaves. Scratching or rustling sounds tell you if you have squirrels in the attic or walls. It’s also important to inspect trees and nearby branches that could provide easy access to your home. Catching these signs early can help prevent them from residing in your house.
Nashville Squirrel Trapping
Professional squirrel trapping in Nashville is essential for homeowners dealing with squirrel infestations. Using safe, humane traps, our experts capture them without harm, ensuring that no animals are injured during the process and none are left behind. Once trapped, they are relocated to a safe environment, far from residential areas. After trapping and relocation, exclusion is essential to prevent reinfestation.
Squirrel Exclusion
Squirrel exclusion is sealing off potential entry points to prevent squirrels from entering a home or building. This involves thoroughly inspecting the property for gaps, holes, or cracks in the roof, attic, vents, and foundation. Once identified, openings are securely sealed using materials such as wire mesh, caulk, or metal flashing. Exclusion also includes reinforcing weak spots and addressing all possible access points. This proactive approach helps keep them out and prevents future infestations, offering long-term protection for the home.
Skunk Removal
Nashville homeowners often spot unwanted skunk activity through disturbed lawns, grub-hunting holes, and that unmistakable odor. These nighttime visitors favor burrowing near foundations, porches, and sheds, potentially causing structural damage. While removing pet food and securing trash helps prevent visits, established skunk problems need professional handling to avoid spray encounters and health risks. Effective skunk control also includes installing hardware cloth barriers, sealing foundation gaps, and fixing broken vents – especially before February’s breeding season, when male skunk behavior becomes more territorial and spray-happy, turning minor issues into major headaches
Could Animals Be Hiding in Your Home?
They can find their way into many parts of your home for shelter and food. Identifying these hiding spots is crucial for effective wildlife control strategies.
Attic?
Rodents and other animals access attics through gaps in the roof or vents; however, regular inspections and proper sealing of entry points can prevent wild critters and other diseases from inhabiting your home and causing issues. Signs of animal incursion include noises, droppings, animal waste, and visible damage to insulation or electrical wires.
Crawlspace?
Often dark and damp, crawlspaces provide easy access to shelter, attracting animals like skunks, snakes, and rodents. Regular inspections and proper sealing can prevent them from making themselves at home and causing damage to insulation materials or the structure itself.
Chimney?
Chimneys provide a direct path into the warmth of your home, making them an attractive option for birds and bats. Regular inspection, maintenance, and installation of chimney caps can help keep them out and prevent blockages that could lead to fires or other hazards.
Garage?
Garages are often left open or have gaps around doors and windows that allow small visitors, such as skunks, raccoons, and rodents, to enter. However, keeping your garage closed, organized, and storing food securely can deter this activity.
Basement?
Another common hiding spot for several pest animals, basements often have small cracks or openings that provide entry. A well-sealed and clutter-free basement can help prevent animal infestations.
Walls?
Walls provide hidden and protected spaces for mice and other small critters to nest and breed. Identifying and sealing entry points and professional removal services are crucial for addressing wild animals in your home. Signs of critters include scratching noises and droppings around entry points.
Roof?
Roofs can be entry points for various critters, including squirrels, which can cause significant damage to roofing materials and insulation. Regular roof inspections and maintenance can help identify and seal potential entry points to prevent animals from returning.
Deck?
Decks and porches provide shelter and protection from the elements for animals like skunks, but installing barriers and keeping the area clean can help remove skunks and prevent them from taking up residence.
