CHARLOTTESVILLE WILDLIFE & PEST SERVICES
Wildlife Removal & Pest Control in Charlottesville, Virginia
When an animal gets into an attic, a rodent starts moving through a structure, or insects become a recurring problem, the first step is identifying what you are actually dealing with. We provide professional wildlife removal and selected pest-control services for homes and businesses in Charlottesville.
Our work includes nuisance wildlife such as bats, squirrels, raccoons, skunks and other serviceable species, along with mice, rats, ants, roaches, yellow jackets, wasps and hornets.
TWO TYPES OF SERVICE — ONE LOCAL COMPANY
Wildlife Removal and Pest Control Are Related—but Not the Same
Some customers know exactly what animal or pest they have. Others only hear movement, find droppings, see an entry point or notice recurring insects. We start by identifying the problem and then recommend the appropriate service.
Wildlife Removal
For bats, squirrels, raccoons, skunks and other nuisance wildlife using attics, walls, crawl spaces, chimneys, rooflines or exterior areas.
Pest Control
For mice, rats, ants, roaches, yellow jackets, wasps and hornets in or around homes and businesses.
CHARLOTTESVILLE WILDLIFE REMOVAL
Common Wildlife Problems We Handle
Wildlife calls often involve animals entering a structure, nesting in an attic or wall, using a chimney or crawl space, or repeatedly accessing the same exterior area.
Bat removal · Squirrel removal · Raccoon removal · Skunk removal · Flying squirrels
Pigeons can create a different kind of bird problem when repeated roosting leads to droppings and buildup on buildings. See our pigeon problems in Richmond and Charlottesville guide for more information.
Moles can create a separate outdoor property problem when raised tunnels and fresh mounds begin appearing in lawns. For Richmond and Charlottesville-area properties, see our Mole Tunnels in Richmond & Charlottesville guide.
CHARLOTTESVILLE PEST CONTROL
Mice, Rats, Ants, Roaches and Stinging Insects
Not every problem around a home or business is a wildlife-removal job. We also provide pest-control service for mice, rats, ants, roaches, yellow jackets, wasps and hornets.
The service plan depends on the pest, the building, where activity is occurring and whether the issue is isolated or recurring.
A PRACTICAL SERVICE PROCESS
Identify the Problem, Correct It, Then Address the Cause
Wildlife and pest-control jobs are different, but the basic service principle is the same: identify what is present before recommending treatment, removal, exclusion or repairs.
1. Identify
Determine the animal or pest, where activity is occurring and what conditions are contributing to the problem.
2. Resolve
Use the appropriate removal, exclusion, trapping or pest-control approach for the actual problem.
3. Reduce Recurrence
Address relevant entry points, repairs, sanitation or other conditions when they are part of the cause.
A NOTE ABOUT “ANIMAL CONTROL”
We Specialize in Wildlife Removal and Pest Control—not Domestic Animal Services
Some people use the term “animal control” when they are looking for help with wildlife. Others mean stray, loose or nuisance dogs and cats. Our company provides nuisance wildlife removal and pest-control services.
We do not handle domestic dogs or cats. If your problem involves wildlife, rodents, insects or another service listed on this site, call us and describe what you are seeing.
