When wildlife finds its way into your home or property, the situation can quickly turn stressful. Uninvited animals not only cause damage but can also carry health risks. That’s where Critter Control of Cleveland steps in—with humane, responsible solutions that protect both your home and the wildlife involved.

Understanding the Problem

Northeast Ohio is home to a wide range of wildlife, including raccoons, bats, squirrels, groundhogs, skunks, and birds. While these animals play an important role in the ecosystem, they can become a nuisance when they seek shelter in or around human dwellings. Attics, crawlspaces, chimneys, and garages are common entry points for wildlife seeking warmth, food, or safety.

Unaddressed, these intrusions can lead to significant property damage—from chewed wiring and insulation destruction to lingering odors and contamination from droppings. Beyond the damage, there's the risk of disease transmission, such as histoplasmosis from bat guano or rabies from raccoons.

The Humane Approach

At Critter Control of Cleveland, the focus is on resolving wildlife issues with methods that are not only effective but also ethical. Every situation is unique, and our team is trained to assess the specific problem and develop a tailored plan that prioritizes humane removal and long-term prevention.

We use proven, low-stress techniques such as one-way doors, live traps, and exclusion systems to remove animals safely. Once the intruder is removed, we seal up entry points to prevent future access. For added protection, we also offer damage repair, attic restoration, and sanitation services to return your space to a safe and healthy condition.

Prevention and Peace of Mind

Safeguarding your home isn’t just about removal—it’s about prevention. Our professionals conduct thorough inspections to identify weaknesses in your home’s exterior, offering reinforcement solutions such as chimney caps, vent covers, and crawlspace barriers. By addressing these vulnerabilities, we help reduce the likelihood of future wildlife conflicts.

Educating homeowners is another key part of our service. We help clients understand the habits of local wildlife and recommend practical steps—like securing trash, managing pet food, and trimming trees—that reduce attractants around the home.
