"I had a beautiful Willow oak in my front yard that showed severe signs of stress and disease. This is the first year it ever looked as bad as it does and I was desperate. I called my own landscaper as well as others but no one seemed to have the time to look what was going on. So I took a shot and went on Angie's list and saw pest professionals. It was on a weekend and I sent a note for him to contact me. Less than half hour later he did. He came out. Took a look at what was going on and was able to diagnose the problem right away. Tim and Ryan worked immediately to try to help and save this gorgeous 16 plus foot oak. He also diagnosed a few other trees and took care of them as well. He has been extremely proactive, informative, and certainly knows his field better than any pest professional I have ever met. My husband and I were so impressed by him and his fund of knowledge that we hired him to take care of our termite and pest control, as well as our flowering trees and shrubs."

"Chase was outstanding to work with. He was very knowledgeable about how pest could penetrate our home and went to work to ensure he did all he could possible to keep us bug free. He even removed any cob webs he found as part of his service. He is a very pleasant person and we enjoyed talking with him. We would highly recommend Brightland Pest Control, without a doubt."

Animal Removal FAQs, answered by experts

You can get rid of raccoons quickly by making your home an undesirable place to live. Here are the best ways to get rid of raccoons fast:

  • Repair broken vents and screens leading to your home.

  • Seal open access points into your home. Many raccoons sneak in through the attic, roof, or chimney.

  • Trim trees and branches so raccoons don’t have easy access to your roof and chimney. 

  • Thoroughly clean out garbage cans, remove all trash, and secure the bins.

  • Don’t keep food or water outside.

  • Add raccoon guards to outdoor bird feeders. 

  • Clean up brush around your home—raccoons like to gather loose yard materials for bedding.

Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:

  • Bats

  • Birds

  • Groundhogs

  • Moles and voles

  • Opossums

  • Mice and rats

  • Raccoons

  • Skunks

  • Squirrels

The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area. 

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

It can be difficult to know what type of animal is in your attic until you see it. But several clues can help you narrow down the suspects:

  • Sounds: Smaller animals like rats and mice make scurrying and tapping/gnawing sounds. Larger animals like raccoons and opossums make louder clambering noises. Also, note when animals are noisy: Squirrels are active during the day, while rats are busiest at night.

  • Droppings: Rats and mice leave small, rice-shaped droppings (the rat’s version is significantly larger). Bigger droppings belong to larger critters like raccoons. As long as you’re not squeamish, an image search can help you identify what you’re seeing in your attic.

When in doubt, take photos of damage or other evidence and show them to an experienced pest control pro.

Most types of lizards are active during warm summer daylight, especially when temperatures rise above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Some lizards take cover under rocks or burrows on sweltering days to escape the heat, reemerging in the cooler afternoon. It is important to note that lizards are cold-blooded creatures that depend on their environment to regulate their body temperature.
