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 re-infestation.

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.

Inspection

Inspections are essential for identifying and managing potential skunk infestations. We perform a thorough inspection of both the interior and exterior of your home to assess where they may be gaining access, such as gaps in the foundation, cracks in the walls, and unsecured vents. We carefully examine areas such as crawl spaces, basements, attics, and under decks—places where skunks often seek shelter and nest. The inspection also includes checking for signs of skunk activity around the perimeter of your home, such as visible burrows, tracks, or strong odors. Our goal is to ensure that your home is protected from skunks, minimizing damage and reducing the risk of health hazards.

Nashville Skunk Trapping

We use safe, humane, proven methods to capture and remove skunks without harm. Once we’ve pinpointed their access points and nesting locations, we strategically place traps in those areas to safely capture them. These traps are designed to be non-lethal, ensuring the animals are handled with care. After capture, we relocate them to a suitable environment far from your home. Throughout the process, we work to minimize disruption to your daily life while prioritizing both the safety of your property and the well-being of the animals. Once the skunks are removed, we implement exclusion measures to prevent future visits.

Skunk Exclusion

Skunk exclusion is vital in preventing future infestations and protecting your property from damage. Our team seals all potential access points, including repairing gaps in the foundation, securing vents, closing off openings around pipes or wires, and reinforcing weak spots like crawl spaces, attics, and under decks where they may seek shelter. We use durable materials to seal these areas, making it nearly impossible for them to re-enter. We recommend removing food sources, securing trash cans, and trimming back overgrown vegetation that could attract them. We help create a long-term solution that keeps your property skunk-free and safe from future intrusions.

Raccoon Removal

Raccoons are common in Nashville, Tennessee, and are often spotted in residential areas, parks, and even downtown spaces. These nocturnal creatures are known for their adaptability and are typically seen rummaging through garbage cans and scavenging something edible. With the growth of Nashville’s urban sprawl, raccoons have become increasingly accustomed to human presence. They are particularly drawn to areas with easy access to food and shelter, such as attics, garages, and storm drains. While they are generally not aggressive, raccoons can sometimes pose a nuisance by causing damage to homes or spreading diseases like rabies. We work to manage raccoon populations while ensuring public safety. Despite the challenges, many people in Nashville find these clever, masked creatures fascinating and a part of the city’s vibrant wildlife scene.

Inspection

Our team performs comprehensive inspections to assess the extent of the raccoon infestation in Nashville, thoroughly examining both indoor and outdoor areas. We carefully identify all potential entry points, from roof vents to gaps in walls and chimneys, ensuring no area is overlooked. Our goal is to provide a detailed assessment that helps us develop an effective removal and long-term prevention plan, safeguarding your home from further damage and intrusion.

Nashville Raccoon Trapping

Based on the inspection, we create a customized raccoon trapping plan designed to address your unique needs. This plan includes strategic placement of traps in areas where they are most likely to enter or frequent and using safe and humane methods for capturing them. We also consider factors like your home’s layout, the infestation’s severity, and any potential hazards. Our approach ensures an effective solution, minimizing disruption to your daily life while prioritizing the well-being of your home and the animals involved.

Raccoon Exclusion

After safely removing the raccoons, we implement comprehensive exclusion measures to prevent future infestations. This includes sealing all identified entry points, such as gaps, cracks, and vents, using durable materials to ensure long-term effectiveness. We also reinforce vulnerable areas like attics, crawl spaces, and chimneys, providing additional protection against potential re-entry. In addition, we offer guidance on environmental adjustments, such as securing trash and removing food sources, to further discourage them from returning. We aim to provide a complete solution that protects your property while promoting a safe and raccoon-free environment.

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.
