Our Wildlife Removal Process

Wildlife Removal FAQ for Norfolk Homeowners

How often should Norfolk homeowners get wildlife removal?
Given Norfolk's humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers averaging 88°f, most homeowners benefit from wildlife removal at least once a year. Tidal flooding management in low-lying neighborhoods (year-round) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Norfolk most need wildlife removal?
Brick colonial homes throughout Norfolk and Portsmouth and Victorian homes in Ghent and Larchmont neighborhoods are the most common home types in Norfolk and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How do I know if I have animals in my attic?
Scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds — especially at night (raccoons, opossums) or early morning (squirrels). Odors, visible droppings, and finding disturbed insulation are also signs.
Can I remove wildlife myself?
Some wildlife (groundhogs, squirrels) can be handled with store-bought traps. However, raccoons can be aggressive, bats are protected by law in most states and require permitted specialists, and improper handling poses disease and legal risks.
Why can't bats just be killed?
Bats are protected by state and federal law in most areas due to their ecological importance. They must be excluded rather than killed. Exclusion must be done outside of maternity season (typically June–August) when flightless pups are present.
Do I need to clean my attic after raccoon removal?
Often yes. Raccoons create latrines in attics, and raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris) is present in their feces. Contaminated insulation must be properly removed and replaced.
