Family owned & operated since 2002. Holistic Pest Solutions, Inc. (HPS) is a Residential & Commercial Pest Management company that embraces the philosophy of incorporating the whole environment when investigating for a solution. In other words, we don’t just spray product to kill pests. We identify those factors that are contributing to the pest problem and offer a resolution for better, long-term control, with minimum chemical impact on the environment. We are mindful of our clients AND our Earth!

"It is a pleasure to work with Holistic Pest Control. From my first phone call to the office to completion of the work required, everyone was friendly and very helpful. The initial service was completed neatly and in a timely manner, and ongoing visits are made at regular intervals with a phone call the night before to remind me that there will be a visit the following day. I particularly like the fact that the same technician comes for each visit since he is familiar with any potential problems that might occur and knows my preferences. Thus far, with Holistic Pest Control, no additional pest problems have occurred!"

Residential and Commercial Pest Control

"Their responsiveness is top-notch. They came the same day I called at least for an inspection. The people are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. They are a tad expensive but you get what you pay for. One treatment is all it took to rid us of termites and mice and haven't seen any in over a year. Two Paramount folks crawled on my steep roof to block access to our attic by a very pesky and determined squirrel. They're not always on the stated time for treatment appointments but once there did a thorough job. I will use them again as necessary."

FAQs for animal removal projects in Charlottesville, VA

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems. 

Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.

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.

Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400. 

This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
