Protect What Matters

Beyond structural concerns, wild animals pose a serious threat to the safety of your home by chewing through insulation, siding, and even electrical wiring. This behavior doesn't just weaken the building—it creates significant fire hazards and leads to expensive repair bills. Rodents are particularly destructive, gnawing on wires and creating entry points for other pests, while sometimes damaging HVAC systems and blocking vents, which compromises both air quality and comfort.

The health risks are equally concerning. Wildlife droppings, urine, and nesting materials often harbor dangerous bacteria and viruses. Specifically:

  • Rodents can spread Salmonella and Hantavirus through their saliva and waste, and birds can transmit over 60 diseases.

  • Squirrels and raccoons are known carriers of parasites, ticks, and even rabies.

Even without direct physical contact, disturbed dust from contaminated droppings can cause serious respiratory issues. Because these risks escalate the longer animals remain on-site, quick professional action is essential to protect your health and property.

Wildlife Control Process

PestNow's process combines expert knowledge and safe, humane techniques to handle wildlife effectively.

1. Comprehensive Inspection - Wildlife professionals start by examining the property, identifying where animals are entering and nesting. This includes attics, crawl spaces, vents, and outdoor structures.

2. Humane Removal and Trapping - All animals are handled with care using professional, humane traps and removal methods that meet Virginia wildlife regulations.

3. Exclusion and Repairs - Once the wildlife is removed, PestNow seals up entry points, repairs damage, and installs deterrents to stop future intrusions.

4. Cleanup and Sanitation - Droppings, nesting materials, and contaminated insulation are safely removed. PestNow disinfects the area to eliminate odors, bacteria, and allergens.

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 Crofton homes and barns)

  • Groundhogs & Skunks (found under decks and sheds)

  • Birds & Snakes

  • Opossums

Will you find and seal the entry points?

When a wild animal breaks into your home, PestNow doesn't just "catch and release." We provide a full-scale defense to make sure your home is never a target again.

Our approach to sealing entry points (which we call "exclusion") is built on three main steps:

1. The "Detective" Inspection

Every house has secrets, and our specialists are trained to find the ones wildlife love. We don't just look for the obvious holes; we check for gaps the size of a dime that mice can squeeze through, or loose soffits that a raccoon can pry open. We inspect your roofline, vents, foundation, and even utility line openings to find every possible doorway into your home.

2. Heavy-Duty "Bite-Proof" Repairs

Standard spray foam or wood putty isn't enough—squirrels and rats can chew through those in minutes. PestNow uses professional-grade materials that animals simply cannot defeat:

  • Steel Mesh and Hardware Cloth: We use heavy-duty metal screens to cover vents and chimney openings. It allows air to flow but keeps even the most determined teeth out.

  • Metal Flashing: For gaps along your roof or siding, we install custom metal barriers that squirrels can't get their claws under.

  • Professional Sealants: We use high-performance caulks and bonding agents that stick to your home's specific materials (brick, wood, or siding) and withstand the local DMV weather.

3. Strategic "One-Way" Technology

If an animal is currently inside your attic, we don't want to trap it in the walls. We often use one-way exclusion devices. This allows the animal to exit your home to find food, but when it tries to return, it finds the door is locked from the inside. Once we are certain the house is empty, we permanently seal that final hole.

Beyond the Seal: Attic Restoration

If wildlife has been living in your attic, they've likely ruined your insulation with waste and scent trails. PestNow offers a specialized cleanup and replacement service:

  • CleanFiber Insulation: We can replace old, contaminated insulation with CleanFiber, a high-performance material treated with borate. This doesn't just keep your home warm; it actually repels pests and mold, providing a permanent layer of protection.

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.

Does homeowners' insurance cover wildlife damage?

Most insurance policies in Virginia cover damage from "large" wildlife (like a raccoon crashing through a roof), but many do not cover damage from "rodents" (like squirrels or mice). We can provide you with a detailed inspection report to help you with any potential insurance claims.
