Wildlife Removal Portland

Squirrel Removal in Portland

• The best way to tell if you have a squirrel problem in your home is if you hear scratching and scurrying during the day.
• As opposed to other rodents, squirrels are diurnal, which means they are more active during the day. If squirrels infest your home, they will cause a multitude of problems. Squirrels will tear your insulation to use for their bedding. Along the way, they will leave behind urine and droppings that soil the insulation. Squirrels will also chew the wires in your attic which is a fire hazard.
• Because they create so much damage and are dangerous to your home, it's important to take care of squirrel removal as promptly as possible. Critter Control of Southern Maine offers a variety of wildlife removal services, and squirrel removal is one that we specialize in! Give our team a call today to get started. 207.405.2606

Rodent Removal in Portland

• Rodents are another common problem in Portland homes. They breed and multiply quickly, tear insulation, and chew wires. You can know you have mice in your attic if you hear scurrying or scratching. You might also find rodent droppings in your house or see oil or fur marks along baseboards in your home. Luckily, we offer animal removal in Portland which takes care of the rodent problems you're facing quickly. 
• Because rodent problems multiply quickly, it's important to implement wildlife removal as quickly as possible. If you suspect rodents in the house, give our team a call right away. 

Raccoon Removal in Portland

• Raccoons often cause the most damage of any wildlife in Portland homes. They have great dexterity in their paws and will rip off vent covers and siding to get into your home if they are motivated.
• Raccoons also leave large piles of droppings called latrines.
• You may be alerted to a potential raccoon problem if you hear thumping in your attic at night. You might also have raccoons in the crawlspace.
• Our team of experts will quickly and humanely remove the raccoon problem and restore your home. 

We Are the Bat Removal Experts

One of the most common services we offer is bat removal in Portland. Bats create a lot of damage in Southern Maine homes. It's important to get rid of bats as soon as you know you have the issue because exposure to guano is dangerous for your health.

• When we come to your home for bat removal, we will do a full inspection of the interior and exterior of your home to build a plan to remove the bats safely and humanely. We will then seal your home to keep the bats from coming back. 
• There are many laws regulating bat removal in Portland, so it's important to call the experts. When you search, "bat removal near me", you can be sure that working with Critter Control ensures the bats are treated humanely. 
• Some bats will try to return to the same place to nest year after year. Wildlife prevention is your best bet against returning bats. We offer a variety of wildlife prevention methods that also ward against rodents, raccoons, and more such as caulking, vent cover installation, and chimney cap repair. 

When you're considering bat removal in Portland, you may be wondering when the best time is to remove bats. Bats begin to mate in early spring, and because it's illegal to trap bats in many areas when babies are first born, the best time for bat removal in Portland is towards the middle of summer when the baby bats can fly. However, if you have a bat at any other time of year, our team of experts will make a plan to remove the bats as quickly and humanely as possible, so please do not attempt to do so yourself. 

Pest Control in Portland

If your home has been infested by pests like ants, spiders, or other bugs, our team can remove them. Pest control is a problem you don't want to ignore. These animals may cause damage to the foundation of your home if left untreated. Pests in your home may also be a sign of a larger wildlife problem—dead animals in the house attract bugs, which means you may have a rodent problem in the house you are unaware of.
