What are the Risks of Wild Animals in Your Home?

Property Integrity: Rodents and other pests are particularly destructive to modern homes. By gnawing through electrical wires and creating entry points for secondary pests, they create hidden fire hazards and weaken the building's envelope. They frequently damage expensive HVAC components and insulation, leading to decreased energy efficiency and expensive restoration bills.

Health & Sanitation: The presence of droppings, urine, and nesting materials creates a toxic environment. Even without direct contact, airborne particles from contaminated waste can cause severe respiratory issues.

  • Rodents: Spread Hantavirus and Salmonella via saliva and waste.

  • Birds: Can carry and transmit dozens of zoonotic diseases.

  • Raccoons & Squirrels: Known vectors for rabies, ticks, and internal parasites.

Wildlife FAQs

What kind of wildlife do you handle?

We specialize in the common "uninvited guests" including:

  • Squirrels & Raccoons (often found in attics)

  • Bats (common in older Sterling homes and barns)

  • Groundhogs & Skunks (found under decks and sheds)

  • Birds & Snakes

  • Opossums

Are your wildlife specialists licensed and insured?

Yes. Every PestNow specialist is fully licensed by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and carries comprehensive liability insurance. This protects your property and our team while we handle unpredictable animals in high-risk areas like roofs, chimneys, and crawl spaces.

Is your wildlife removal humane?

Yes! At PestNow, we use "Integrated Pest Management" (IPM). This means we prioritize humane trapping and "exclusion" methods—like one-way doors—that allow animals to leave your home safely but prevent them from getting back in.

Do you clean up the mess left behind?

Yes. Wildlife like bats and raccoons leave behind waste that can carry diseases or ruin insulation. PestNow offers insulation removal and replacement to ensure your home's air quality is safe, and the 'scent markers' that attract other animals are gone.

How long does the wildlife removal process take?

The timeline for wildlife removal is rarely a "one-and-done" situation because it depends entirely on the guest you're trying to evict. On average, you can expect a process of 3 to 7 days, but it varies by species. To get a more accurate timeline, let's see what we're working with. Contact a PestNow wildlife removal specialist now.
