The Importance of Professional Wildlife Control
Professional wildlife control is crucial for maintaining a safe, healthy, and comfortable living environment. While some wildlife problems may seem manageable, they often come with hidden risks, like damage to property, electrical systems, or insulation, as well as the potential spread of disease.
Our professionals are equipped with the knowledge, tools, and experience to handle these situations safely and effectively so that animals are removed humanely and the underlying issues – such as entry points or attractants – are properly addressed. Additionally, our expert wildlife control services help prevent further infestations, protecting both your property and the local ecosystem. By choosing a licensed and insured professional from SWAT Services, you can avoid costly repairs, minimize health risks, and facilitate the safe relocation of animals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do Animals Enter My Home?
Wild animals seek shelter and warmth, often exploiting minor structural weaknesses to gain entry. Common entry points include damaged roof vents, loose shingles, or gaps where the roofline meets the fascia boards (soffits). Squirrels and raccoons are strong enough to chew or push past weak seals around plumbing or utility lines leading into the attic or walls. Small rodents, such as mice, can squeeze through incredibly tiny openings, some as narrow as a quarter-inch wide. Any unsealed construction gap or uncapped chimney is essentially an open invitation to various forms of wildlife.
What Are Signs of an Attic Invasion?
The clearest sign of an attic invasion is hearing strange noises, such as scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds, coming from above. Since many common attic invaders are nocturnal, listen for these sounds primarily late at night or early in the morning. Physical evidence includes finding droppings (feces) or urine stains, especially if the stains appear on your ceiling below. You may also notice damaged insulation, chewed wires, or foul, musky odors, which indicate nesting or a deceased animal.
How Long Does the Process Take?
The duration of the wildlife removal process depends heavily on the species, the number of animals, and the severity of the infestation. For instance, removing a single squirrel might be resolved in a day or two using a one-way door exclusion method. Removing protected species, such as bats, requires adhering to strict seasonal regulations, often extending the process for several weeks until the bat maternity season ends. The entire service, including guaranteed exclusion and necessary damage repair, generally requires a few days to a week to complete thoroughly.
Can I Remove Animals On My Own?
It is strongly advised against attempting to remove wildlife on your own due to safety risks and legal issues. Handling frightened or aggressive wild animals exposes you to the danger of bites, scratches, and potential disease transmission, such as rabies. Furthermore, many species, such as bats and certain birds, are legally protected, making it illegal for unlicensed individuals to trap, relocate, or harm them. A professional wildlife control operator is licensed to safely and legally remove and handle the animals according to local and state regulations.
How Can I Prevent Them From Coming Back?
The most effective prevention method is a process called exclusion, which means sealing all potential entry points after the animals are removed. Ensure all vents, especially roof and soffit vents, are secured with heavy-duty metal screening that animals cannot chew through. Trim any tree branches that hang near or over your roofline, as they provide easy access points for climbing animals like squirrels and raccoons. Be sure to address secondary attractants by securing trash cans with locking lids and removing outdoor pet food.
