Removal

Safe and humane removal of problematic animals is at the core of our wildlife control service. Our wildlife technicians are thoroughly trained in removal techniques and procedures, guaranteeing that the uninvited animal will be removed from your property and relocated as swiftly as possible.

Exclusion

To prevent wildlife from intruding on your property, we can employ exclusion devices which offer impenetrable protection. From netting, bird spikes, screening, metal flashings, sealants and chimney caps, we offer a myriad of solutions to ensure you never have to face a wildlife conflict again.

Damage Repair

Wildlife has a habit of being a nightmare tenant. Not only do wild animals not pay rent, they often do considerable damage to the dwelling they're squatting in. Having ample experience with these situations, we are proud to offer repair services specifically catered to the kinds of harm wildlife can leave on a structure.

Whether you need a single animal removed or the full package including exclusion, damage repair and cleanup, we've got you covered.

Animals We Remove

Whether in your attic, underneath your porch, or in the crawl space, our wildlife technicians can reach & remove the following animals to name a few:

Bats

Bats can find their way into buildings through openings and may roost in attics, behind shutters, and under eaves or roofing tiles.

Birds

Birds can find their way into buildings through openings and may occupy attics, find shelter behind shutters, or settle under eaves or roofing tiles for resting.

Beavers

Beavers typically do not enter buildings but can affect structures by building dams in nearby waterways, potentially leading to flooding or water damage to foundations and landscapes.

Chipmunks

Chipmunks can enter buildings through small openings and may nest in basements, crawl spaces, or under porches and sidewalks, often seeking shelter or a place to store food.

Fox & Gray Squirrels

Squirrels can enter buildings through small openings and may nest in attics, wall cavities, or under roofs, often causing damage by gnawing on wires and wood structures.

Groundhogs

Groundhogs can burrow near foundations, decks, and sheds, potentially undermining structural integrity and causing damage to gardens and landscapes.

Moles

Moles tunnel underground in search of insects and worms, creating raised ridges and mounds of soil in lawns and gardens, which can disrupt plant roots and damage landscaping.

Opossums

Opossums can enter buildings through pet doors, open windows, or damaged areas to seek shelter or food, often taking residence in attics, garages, or under buildings.

Raccoons

Raccoons can enter attics, chimneys, or crawl spaces through small openings to nest, often causing significant damage in their search for a denning site and by gnawing on wood or wires.

Shrews

While less likely to enter buildings than other small mammals, shrews can occasionally be found in basements or garages in search of insects or or a warm place to hide, but generally prefer outdoor habitats with dense vegetation to root around in. Their constant digging for food and shelter can damage plant roots and result in unsightly dirt mounds similar to those constructed by Moles.

Skunks

Skunks can burrow under foundations, decks, or sheds to create dens, posing a risk of structural damage and the potential for unpleasant odors if they spray in defense when threatened.

Voles

Voles, similar to moles, create extensive tunnel networks in gardens and lawns, feeding on plant roots and bark, which can lead to plant damage and unsightly surface trails in the landscape.

Telltale Signs of a Wildlife Infestation

There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to spotting invading wildlife pests. Luckily at Black Diamond, we’ve seen it all and are here to help. Let’s clear things up so you can spot the signs of a wildlife infestation.

Noises

Sounds from your attic, walls, or crawlspace are a common sign of an animal intruder, and will often include scratching, scurrying or louder noises depending on the size of the pest.

Droppings and Urine

Finding animal feces or urine spots can be a sign of a wildlife infestation, and proper identification can even tell you exactly what kind of wildlife you're dealing with.

Footprints and Tracks

Unexplained footprints or tracks in dust, mud, or snow around your property can indicate the presence of wildlife.

Damage

Lots of pests use their teeth and claws to perform unwanted "renovations" as they make themselves home. From gnawing on wood to chewing on wires, wild animals can do a number on a house, and their search for food often results in even further damage and mess. Overturned trash cans and disturbed cabinets are a common calling card for invading wildlife, and the holes they chew in a structure can even become easy entrance points for future infestations.

Nesting Material

Finding nesting materials like shredded paper, fabric, or plant matter in secluded areas of your home can indicate a nesting site for rodents or other small animals.

Odors

A strong, musty, or unpleasant odor without a visible source could be a sign of an animal living within your home or even a deceased animal within walls or crawl spaces.

Grease and Rub Marks

Animals, especially rodents and bats, can leave greasy, dirty marks along their travel paths, such as walls or beams, which they frequently use.

Insect Infestations

An increase in insects inside your home, like fleas, flies, or bat bugs can sometimes indicate the presence of wildlife, as these pests are often associated with animals like raccoons, squirrels, or bats.

Unusual Pet Behavior

Pets might act unusually agitated if they detect the presence of wildlife in or around your home, barking at what seems like nothing or obsessively sniffing at a particular area.

Given these signs, if you are still left in the dark regarding whether your property is currently hosting unwanted wildlife, rest assured that our technicians can confirm a potential infestation on your behalf. Additionally, we can be at your property quickly to perform an animal evaluation. Contact us now at 877-DEAD-BUG to get started.

Wildlife Control Frequently Asked Questions

What do you do with the animals once they are captured?

This depends on the state law pertaining to transport and possession of wildlife as we will always obey the law first! Some animals are protected and cannot be disturbed at all. As for other animals, we always aim for humane removal and relocation first – this is our preferred method. If an animal is sick or injured, rehabilitation may be required.

Can't the city or county take care of the problem for free?

No. Local animal control will only deal with domesticated animals. They may help or consult with a wildlife control company, but they do not perform professional wildlife control and exclusions.

Do you pick up dead animals?

Yes. One service we provide is removing and disposing of a carcass based on the state law.

What health risks do animals pose?

Wild animals can carry several diseases that humans can contract, either through direct contact or contact with droppings. The most common is rabies, but others include typhus, histoplasmosis, roundworm, salmonellosis and trichinosis.

Can all wild animals carry rabies?

Any mammal can potentially carry rabies. Most rabies transmission in North America is from bats.

What Is Wildlife Removal?

Licensed wildlife technicians will use a combination of exclusion and trapping to remove nuisance wildlife from your property and ensure they don't return.

How Can I Prevent Wildlife From Returning?

Our licensed technicians will go over the best options for exclusion once the animals are removed.

Do You Offer a Warranty?

Most of our wildlife service's carry a one year warranty for the area of the work performed.

Do you use poisons?

Poison can be used for rodents like mice, rats, and moles. For animals like squirrels, raccoons, possums, bats and birds we use relocation and exclusion as our preferred method.

What do I do if I find an injured animal?

If you find an injured animal give us a call at 877-DEAD-BUG.

Why Are Animals in My Home? How did they get in my home?

Even the most secure home will have a variety of entry points, as many can squeeze themselves through any gap they can fit their head into, and they are quite eager to enter human houses for the shelter, food, and warmth inside.

What is the cost of service?

Service costs depend on a number of different factors. This can be the type of treatment needed, the size of the area being treated and the time needed to properly treat the pest problem. Call 877-DEAD-BUG to speak to a helpful Office Agent for more information.

How quickly can I get a service scheduled?

We aim to get every customer's infestation as quickly as possible. Most service calls are completed in a 24-48 hour period.
