Professional, Humane Wildlife Removal & Control

The Carolinas and Virginia are rich in wildlife diversity. From squirrels and rodents to snakes and opossums, you can find it all right outside your door. However, when these animals find their way into your home, it can cause serious problems beyond just the unwelcome surprise.

Wildlife inside your home can:

  • Chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards
  • Damage structural elements like walls, insulation, and rafters
  • Leave behind waste that causes stains, odors, and potential health risks
  • Spread diseases and parasites to humans and pets
  • Create disturbing noises that disrupt your sleep and peace of mind

At Rid-A-Bug, we believe in humane, effective wildlife management that protects both your property and the animals. With over 50 years of experience serving North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, our licensed wildlife damage control agents provide professional solutions for all your wildlife problems.

Common Wildlife Problems in the Carolinas and Virginia

Squirrels in the Attic

Squirrels commonly invade attics where they build nests, store food, and raise young. They can chew through wiring, tear up insulation, and create fire hazards. Our technicians use one-way doors and trapping methods to humanely remove these agile rodents.

Raccoon Invasions

Intelligent and dexterous, raccoons can open trash cans, tear through screens, and access your home through the smallest openings. Once inside, they can cause extensive damage and leave behind parasites and waste. Our professional removal techniques ensure these masked bandits are safely relocated.

Bat Colonies

A small bat colony can grow quickly, leading to significant guano accumulation and potential health risks. Our bat exclusion services use specialized techniques that allow bats to exit but not re-enter, protecting these beneficial but problematic creatures while safeguarding your home.

Snake Encounters

Finding a snake in your home can be terrifying. Our trained professionals can identify species, safely remove snakes, and implement measures to prevent their return. We focus on exclusion techniques that keep these reptiles where they belong—outside.

Rodent Infestations

Mice and rats can squeeze through incredibly small openings, reproduce rapidly, and contaminate your living spaces. Our comprehensive rodent control combines removal, exclusion, and sanitation to ensure complete elimination of these persistent pests.
