What do customers ask about Wildlife Removal?
Common questions and tips from our work with Indianapolis customers.
What animals do you remove from homes?
Most calls in Indianapolis involve raccoons in attics, squirrels in soffits, or opossums under decks and porches. We also handle bats and groundhogs on a case by case basis. A technician identifies the species from droppings, tracks, and entry damage before setting a trap or one-way door, since the removal method changes depending on the animal.
Will the animal come back after removal?
Not if the entry point gets sealed. Trapping alone solves the immediate problem, but the hole that let the first animal in will attract another one within weeks. That is why our visits include exclusion sealing on vents, gaps, and roof damage as a standard part of the job, not an add-on.
Tip
Why we use metal, not foam or caulk
Raccoons can squeeze through openings as small as 4 inches, and squirrels through gaps under 1.5 inches. Foam and caulk get chewed through fast, so exclusion work relies on galvanized flashing and hardware cloth anchored into solid framing. It costs more upfront than a caulk gun but it is what actually holds against a determined animal.
Is trapping safe for pets and kids?
Yes. Traps get placed in attic, crawl space, or exterior locations away from normal foot traffic, and we walk homeowners through exactly where each one sits. We check trap locations on a set schedule so an animal is not left waiting longer than necessary once caught.
