What we do

Full-Service Wildlife Control for Orange County Homes

We focus on one thing: getting animals out, keeping them out, and fixing the mess. This services hub covers the main problems we deal with every week across Orange County.

Instead of just throwing poison and hoping for the best, we follow a clear process on every job: Inspect → Remove → Seal → Clean. Each specific service page goes deeper into that animal and what we do for it, but this page gives you the big picture and quick links to everything.

Humane Wildlife Removal

Raccoons, skunks, opossums, bats, squirrels, and more – we use professional trapping methods and exclusion devices where appropriate, following California rules.

Rodent & Small Animal Control

Rats, mice, gophers, and ground squirrels are a different game than big wildlife. We use targeted trapping, burrow management, and sealing, not blind poison bombing.

Cleanup & Damage Control

Droppings, urine, nesting, and damage to insulation or vents are part of the job. We inspect, clean, and help plan repairs so you’re not left with a contaminated attic or crawl space.

Core services

Animal Removal Services We Offer

These are the main services you’ll find on this site. Each one gets its own detailed page, but here’s the simple version so you can jump straight to what you need.

Raccoon Removal

Heavy footsteps, thumping, and big droppings in the attic? That’s raccoon territory. We trap, remove, and exclude raccoons from attics, chimneys, and roofs.

  • Humane live trapping
  • Mother and baby raccoon handling
  • Roof and vent repair, sealing entry points

Skunk Removal

Smell something brutal coming from under the deck or side yard? Skunks love slabs, crawl spaces, and low gaps.

  • Skunk trapping and removal
  • Den location and eviction
  • Screening decks, steps, and crawl access

Opossum Removal

Opossums are messy squatters. They use crawl spaces, garages, and sometimes attics as bathrooms and crash pads.

  • Live trapping and relocation where allowed
  • Crawl space clean up and deodorizing
  • Securing vents and access doors

Rat Removal & Rodent Control

Scratching in the attic, small droppings, chewing in the walls – that’s usually rats or mice. We do actual rodent control, not just poison drops.

  • Inspection to find entry points
  • Targeted trapping and monitoring
  • Sealing roof, wall, and foundation gaps

Squirrel Removal

Squirrels chew into eaves, soffits, and attic corners, then treat your wiring like a chew toy.

  • Squirrel identification and trapping
  • One-way doors when appropriate and legal
  • Repair of gnawed edges and gaps

Gopher & Burrowing Rodent Control

Gophers and similar burrowers tear up lawns, roots, and irrigation. You see mounds, your landscaper sees money, we see work.

  • Gopher and burrowing rodent control
  • Targeted trapping or other legal methods
  • Recommendations for ongoing prevention

Snake Removal

Snakes in garages, yards, or crawl spaces are no joke – especially around kids or pets.

  • Safe snake capture and removal
  • Inspection for shelter and attractants
  • Recommendations to reduce future encounters

Bat Removal

Bats in roof gaps or attic peaks leave droppings (guano) and bring health concerns if handled wrong.

  • Bat inspections and species identification
  • Legal exclusion and one-way systems where allowed
  • Guano cleanup and sealing small gaps

Bird & Pigeon Control

Birds and pigeons love rooflines and solar panels – and they don’t pay rent or cleaning fees.

  • Removal of nesting material and droppings
  • Solar panel bird proofing
  • Deterrent systems and access blocking

Bee Removal

Bees in walls, soffits, or trees are a serious safety concern and need to be handled correctly.

  • Bee and hive removal options
  • Access opening and cleanup of comb where needed
  • Sealing voids and advising on prevention

Dead Animal Removal

That mystery smell that keeps getting worse? Usually a dead animal in a wall, attic, or crawl space.

  • Location and removal when accessible
  • Disinfectant and odor control treatment
  • Inspection for entry points to prevent repeat issues

Coyote Issues & Deterrence

Coyotes are a real problem around pets and livestock in certain OC neighborhoods. We focus on legal management and prevention, not fantasy solutions.

  • Property assessment for coyote attractants
  • Deterrence, exclusion, and safety recommendations
  • Education on realistic expectations and local rules

How we work

Our Process: Inspect → Remove → Seal → Clean

Whether it’s rats or raccoons, bats or birds, the backbone is the same. We don’t guess, we don’t just “spray and leave.” We do the full job or we tell you straight what it will take.

1. Inspect

We start with a detailed inspection of:

  • Attic, roof, vents, and roofline transitions
  • Crawl space, foundation vents, and access doors
  • Exterior walls, utility lines, and common entry points

You get a clear explanation and photo documentation of what we find so you’re not just taking our word for it.

2. Remove

Based on what animal we’re dealing with, we choose the right tools:

  • Live traps for raccoons, skunks, and opossums
  • Species-specific trapping for rats, mice, and gophers
  • One-way doors and exclusion systems where allowed for bats and some birds

Everything is done as humanely and safely as possible, following California regulations.

3. Seal

Once animals are gone, we lock down the property so you’re not paying to fix the same problem twice:

  • Hardware cloth and metal screening on vents and gaps
  • Repair of gnawed corners, soffits, and fascia
  • Sealing utility penetrations and construction defects

We prioritize durability over cosmetics – but we also keep your house from looking patched together.

4. Clean

Animals leave droppings, urine, and nesting material wherever they stay. We address that too:

  • Removal of contaminated material where accessible
  • Application of disinfectant and odor control
  • Insulation and surface restoration options based on damage

The goal is a safe, clean attic or crawl space – not just “quiet for now.”

FAQ

Service & Pricing FAQ

How much do your animal removal services cost?
It depends on the species, how many entry points exist, and how much damage or contamination we find. We start with an inspection, then give you a written plan that spells out removal, exclusion, and any cleanup work so you’re not guessing at the bill.
Do you offer free inspections?
Sometimes an issue is simple, sometimes it takes a full attic and crawl space crawl to figure out. Whether there’s a charge depends on the scope, distance, and situation. When you call, we’ll tell you straight what to expect for your area and problem type.
Do you use poison for rats or other animals?
We avoid loose interior poisons because they usually create more problems than they solve – dead animals in walls, bad smells, and unsafe residue. Our focus is trapping, physical removal, and sealing entry points so it doesn’t keep happening.
Are your services humane?
Yes. We follow California regulations and aim to be as humane and professional as possible with every animal. That means correct traps, correct handling, and avoiding slow or cruel methods just to make a quick buck.
Do you work with HOAs and property managers?
Yes. We regularly work with HOAs, landlords, and property managers in Orange County. We can provide documentation, photos, and step-by-step scopes so everyone involved understands what needs to be done and why.

Not Sure Which Service You Need?

You don’t have to diagnose it perfectly – you just have to say “something is in my attic,” or “something died under the house,” and we’ll take it from there.
