Choose your city

Virginia experiences four distinct seasons, each influencing wildlife activity. Spring and summer bring increased foraging, while fall and winter see animals seeking warmer den sites, often in attics or basements. The housing stock, ranging from historic homes with many entry points to modern constructions, presents varied challenges. Our service understands these seasonal patterns and the specific needs of Virginia's wildlife to provide effective solutions.

Common questions

Will Animal Control remove a raccoon for free?

Professional wildlife removal services generally involve a fee due to the specialized expertise and equipment required. While some local agencies may assist with stray domestic animals, wild animals like raccoons need professional handling. We offer a free phone quote to discuss the cost.

What smells keep animals away?

Many DIY scent deterrents, like ammonia or mothballs, have limited effectiveness and can be harmful to pets and people. For reliable, long-term results, professional exclusion methods are recommended. Our experts can determine the best deterrents for your Virginia property.

Is there a fee for calling animal control?

Yes, professional wildlife removal services do have associated fees. These costs are determined by the type of animal, the difficulty of the removal, and any necessary repairs to prevent future entry. We provide a free phone quote to give you a clear pricing estimate.

What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?

The 3-3-3 rule typically refers to the adjustment period for newly adopted pets: 3 days for decompression, 3 weeks to learn routines, and 3 months to feel at home. This concept does not directly apply to the removal of nuisance wildlife.

Who to call to pick up stray cats?

For stray cats, your local animal shelter or humane society is usually the best first call. If you are experiencing issues with wildlife, such as squirrels or raccoons common in Virginia, a professional wildlife control service is best equipped to handle these situations safely and effectively.

Are there specific rules for wildlife control in Virginia?

Yes, Virginia has regulations concerning the humane trapping and relocation of certain wildlife species. Our team is fully licensed and adheres to all state guidelines, ensuring responsible and effective solutions for your wildlife problems in areas like Chesapeake.
