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 Maryland 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.

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 technicians specifically trained in Wildlife Management?

At PestNow, we understand that removing a raccoon from an attic requires a completely different skill set than treating a kitchen for ants. That is why we don't just send a general "bug guy" to handle your wildlife problems.

Here is how we ensure our technicians are the right experts for the job:

Specialized Wildlife Certification

In the DMV area, wildlife control is a regulated field that requires specific licensing. Our wildlife team members hold specialized Wildlife Control Operator certifications. This means they have undergone rigorous training in animal biology, trapping laws, and humane handling techniques that go far beyond standard pest control.

Experts in "Animal Architecture"

A major part of wildlife management is understanding how animals exploit your home's construction. Our technicians are trained to think like the animals they track. They don't just look for bugs; they look for:

  • Weak points in rooflines and soffits.

  • Structural gaps in foundations and crawl spaces.

  • Chew patterns that indicate which specific animal is inside.

Construction and Repair Skills

Since wildlife removal often involves "exclusion" (sealing the animal out), our team is skilled in minor construction repairs. We use professional-grade materials—like heavy-gauge steel screening and specialized sealants—to ensure that once a hole is fixed, it stays fixed.

The Right Tools for the Job

PestNow equips wildlife specialists with professional-grade trapping and safety gear to ensure the job is done humanely and effectively.

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.
