Trapping Is Not the Fix. Sealing the House Is.
Most wildlife companies are paid to remove an animal. That is the easy half. The reason homeowners end up calling a second company is that nothing was done about the hole the animal used — and a soffit gap, a torn gable vent or an open crawl space vent does not care which animal found it first.
So every job we run finishes in the same place: every opening on the structure sealed in heavy-gauge metal, steel mesh or hardware cloth. Never foam, never caulk — a squirrel chews through either one in an afternoon. That is the difference between a removal and a repair, and it is why our customers do not call us back about the same animal.
It also decides the order of work. We inspect before we trap, we confirm the structure is empty before we close anything, and in breeding season we check for young first — because sealing a litter inside your ceiling turns a wildlife call into a drywall job.
What We Remove
Twenty years of Northern Virginia and Fredericksburg-area wildlife work, in-house from inspection through restoration. We do not do insects or mice — if the problem is ants, roaches or a mouse in the kitchen, a pest control company is the right call and we will tell you so.
Squirrel Removal
The animal we remove most often. Chewed soffits, shredded insulation and chewed wiring in the attic.
Raccoon Removal
Fifteen to twenty-five pounds, with hands. The most destructive attic animal, and a rabies vector species.
Bat Removal & Exclusion
Exclusion is the only lawful method, and it cannot be done during the May–August maternity season.
Bird Nest Removal
Packed dryer vents and bath fans — a fire and moisture problem more than a bird problem.
Snake Removal
Identified first. The copperhead is the only venomous snake commonly found in Fairfax County.
Groundhog Removal
Burrows that undermine sheds, decks, porch slabs and AC pads. Closed with a trenched barrier.
Skunk Removal
Under decks, sheds and crawl spaces. Removed without spray, and checked for kits first.
Fox Removal
Usually a spring den under a shed. Sometimes the honest answer is to wait and then seal it.
Opossum Removal
Live removal, plus the dead-animal-in-the-wall calls that make up half of them.
Mole Removal
Tunnelling and lawn damage, handled in the yard rather than the house.
What Virginia Law Says — Before You Hire Anyone
This is the question worth asking every company that quotes you: what happens to the animal?
In Virginia, a trapped nuisance animal must be released on the property where it was caught or humanely euthanized. Virginia DWR states plainly that nuisance wildlife trapped by homeowners or licensed nuisance trappers must be euthanized and not relocated, and that transporting Virginia wildlife requires a DWR permit — in part to avoid spreading rabies, distemper and mange.
So when a company offers to take your raccoons, groundhogs or foxes off to the countryside, it is describing something it is not permitted to do. We would rather tell you that up front than tell you what you want to hear.
The same goes for protected species. Bats can only be removed by exclusion, and not during the May–August maternity season while flightless pups are in the roost. Most native birds are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so an in-use nest with eggs or young cannot simply be pulled out. Snakes are protected nongame wildlife. Knowing where those lines are is most of what licensing is for.
How the Job Runs
1. Inspection
We walk the roofline, soffits, vents, foundation and crawl space, then go inside the attic or under the structure to find the entry points, the nest and the damage. You get photos of what we find.
2. Removal
Trapping, one-way doors or hand removal, chosen to suit the species and the structure, and handled inside Virginia’s on-site rules. Nothing is closed until we confirm the space is empty.
3. Exclusion and restoration
Openings sealed in metal, contaminated insulation removed, the space sanitized, and soffit, fascia, vent and crawl space repairs done in-house.
Then we come back and verify the seal is holding.
