Mississippi's hot and humid climate creates an environment where wildlife thrives throughout the year. This means you might encounter raccoons, squirrels, opossums, or bats seeking refuge in your home at any time, especially during breeding seasons or when seeking shelter from extreme weather. Our housing stock, from older homes with potential entry points to newer constructions, often provides accessible habitats for these animals.
When dealing with wildlife, it's important to understand that pest control services typically focus on insects and rodents, not larger animals. We specialize in the safe and humane removal of wildlife, addressing the root cause of the problem by sealing entry points and preventing future infestations. The cost of our services depends on factors like the type of animal, the difficulty of removal, and the extent of any necessary repairs to secure your home. We always provide a clear explanation of the work needed and its associated factors before proceeding.
