Nuisance Animal Trapping & Wildlife Removal in Genesee County

If you are dealing with nuisance wildlife around your home or property, professional animal trapping and wildlife control services can help safely resolve the problem. Our nuisance animal trapping service provides humane, effective solutions for homeowners and businesses throughout Genesee County who are experiencing issues with unwanted animals. Wildlife such as raccoons, skunks, squirrels, chipmunks, opossums, and groundhogs often seek shelter in attics, chimneys, crawl spaces, garages, sheds, and under decks or porches. Once animals gain access to these areas, they can cause serious property damage, create unpleasant odors, destroy insulation, chew wiring, dig large holes in yards, and introduce parasites or disease. Our goal is to provide fast, reliable nuisance animal removal while using modern humane trapping techniques that protect both the property owner and the animal.

 

Our wildlife trapping process uses professional-grade equipment and modern electronic trap-monitoring technology. Electronic monitoring enables remote trap checks, preventing animals from being left in traps for extended periods. This approach ensures humane treatment and allows animals to be relocated quickly and responsibly. Humane wildlife trapping is not just about catching the animal; it is also about identifying why the animal entered the property in the first place and preventing it from happening again. By addressing the root cause, we help homeowners avoid recurring wildlife issues.

Our nuisance wildlife control services focus on humane trapping and safe relocation whenever possible. Each situation is different, and the trapping method used depends on the animal species, the location of the problem, and the level of activity on the property. We use professional wildlife traps designed to capture animals safely without causing injury. Once trapped, nuisance animals are handled in accordance with local regulations and relocated as appropriate. Humane trapping is the most effective method for removing nuisance wildlife from residential and commercial properties. Many nuisance animals are highly intelligent and adaptable, especially raccoons and squirrels, which can enter structures through surprisingly small openings. Proper trap placement, baiting, and monitoring are critical to solving wildlife problems quickly and efficiently.

Common Nuisance Animals We Trap

​Several species of wildlife commonly cause problems for property owners in Genesee County. Our trapping services target the most frequent nuisance animals found in homes, yards, and businesses.

 

  • Raccoons are one of the most common nuisance animals in residential areas. They often enter attics, chimneys, and garages while searching for a safe place to nest. Raccoons can tear apart roofing materials, rip open vents, and damage insulation while creating nests.

 

  • Skunks frequently burrow under decks, sheds, porches, and crawl spaces. Besides digging damage, skunks create strong odors that can linger for long periods if they spray. Removing skunks safely requires careful trapping methods to reduce the risk of spraying.

 

  • Squirrels commonly enter attics by chewing through roof edges, soffits, or vents. Once inside, squirrels may chew electrical wires, damage insulation, and create fire hazards.

 

  • Chipmunks often burrow around foundations, patios, and sidewalks. Their tunneling can lead to structural settling and damage to landscaping.

 

  • Opossums typically seek shelter under decks, porches, sheds, or crawl spaces. While generally non-aggressive, they can create sanitation concerns and attract other predators.

 

  • Groundhogs (woodchucks) are known for digging large burrows in yards, near foundations, or under sheds. Their tunneling can damage lawns, gardens, and landscaping structures.

 

By identifying the specific animal responsible for the problem, we can develop an effective trapping strategy tailored to that species and location.

Chimney Caps to Prevent Animal Entry

One of the most common ways wildlife enters homes is through open chimneys. Raccoons, squirrels, and birds frequently climb into chimneys to build nests and raise young. Installing a professionally fitted chimney cap is one of the best ways to prevent wildlife from entering your chimney and fireplace system.

​

Chimney caps act as a protective barrier while still allowing smoke and ventilation to function normally. A properly installed cap keeps animals, debris, and rain out of the chimney. Many homeowners only discover animals in their chimney after hearing scratching or movement inside the fireplace area. Installing a preventive chimney cap can eliminate this problem before it starts.

 

Bird Nest Removal

Bird nests frequently appear in vents, soffits, and other protected areas around homes and buildings. Dryer vents are particularly common nesting spots because they provide warmth and shelter. Unfortunately, nests in vents can create serious airflow blockages and increase fire risks in dryer systems.

​

Our bird nest removal service safely clears nests from vents and other structures while ensuring the area is cleaned and protected against future nesting. In many cases, installing vent covers or barriers prevents birds from returning to the same location.

 

Carcass Removal Services

Sometimes nuisance wildlife problems involve deceased animals on a property. Dead animals can create strong odors, attract insects, and pose sanitation concerns. Our carcass removal service quickly locates and removes deceased wildlife from yards, crawl spaces, attics, and other areas where animals may have died. Removing the animal and properly cleaning the affected area helps eliminate odors and prevents secondary pest problems.

 

Wildlife Entry Point Sealing & Prevention

Trapping nuisance animals solves the immediate problem, but prevention is the key to long-term protection. Wildlife often returns to the same structures if entry points remain open. Our wildlife exclusion services identify how animals gained access and seal those areas to prevent future infestations.

​

Common entry points include damaged roof edges, attic vents, soffit gaps, chimney openings, foundation holes, and areas under decks or sheds. By sealing these openings and reinforcing vulnerable areas, we help protect homes from recurring wildlife issues. Prevention services may include vent covers, chimney caps, structural repairs, and access point sealing.

 

Modern Electronic Trap Monitoring

Technology has significantly improved wildlife trapping practices. Our use of electronic trap monitoring allows traps to alert us immediately when an animal has been captured. This system reduces the time animals spend in traps and allows us to respond quickly.

​

Electronic monitoring also improves efficiency because traps can be checked remotely rather than relying solely on physical inspections. This results in faster service and more humane wildlife handling.
