Skunk Control
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 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-happy, turning minor issues into major headaches.
Squirrel Removal
In Nashville, 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.

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 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 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 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 prevent them from taking up residence.
