Cleveland’s urban landscape creates the perfect environment for nuisance wildlife. With older homes, dense neighborhoods, and easy access to food and shelter, animals like squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and bats frequently find their way into residential properties. When wildlife invades your home, professional critter control is essential to protect both your property and your health.
At Critter Control of Cleveland, our licensed specialists are trained in the most advanced techniques in the industry. We provide safe, humane removal of bats, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, and more, along with long-term prevention and professional damage repair.
Thorough Inspections to Identify the Problem
Every wildlife issue begins with a comprehensive inspection. Our specialists determine the severity of the infestation and identify the species involved by looking for physical evidence such as droppings, stains, footprints, nesting materials, and unusual odors or sounds. Because many Cleveland homes are older, we also pay close attention to structural vulnerabilities.
During the inspection, we carefully examine the exterior of the home for potential entry points. Damaged vents, broken screens, roof gaps, loose siding, and foundation openings are common access areas that allow animals to move inside. Identifying these weaknesses early is critical to creating an effective and lasting solution.
Humane Trapping and Exclusion Methods
Once the inspection is complete, our team determines the most appropriate method of trapping or exclusion for the situation. The approach depends on the species, the location of the activity, and the level of damage present. For some animals, live trapping is the most effective option, while others require exclusion techniques that allow the animal to leave safely and prevent re-entry.
Our specialists then execute the chosen method with precision and care, following all local and state wildlife regulations. This targeted approach ensures the animal is removed efficiently while minimizing disruption to the home and surrounding environment.
Repairing Damage and Restoring Your Home
Wildlife often causes damage that extends beyond the initial intrusion. After removal, Critter Control provides a wide range of repair and restoration services to address these issues. We repair damaged vents and screens, seal entry points, and restore compromised areas of the home to prevent future access.
In addition, we offer professional cleanup services to remove droppings and contaminated materials that could pose health risks or lead to further property damage. To reinforce protection, we apply exclusion agents and preventative measures that help deter animals from returning.
