Connecticut's residential areas, often featuring older housing stock, present numerous entry points for wildlife. Animals like raccoons and squirrels commonly seek refuge in attics and wall voids, especially during the colder months when they search for warmth. Summer heat can also drive animals into cooler indoor spaces. Our process begins with a detailed on-site inspection to accurately identify the species, locate entry points, and assess any damage. Following this, we implement humane removal techniques and exclusion strategies to ensure the animal is safely relocated and to prevent future intrusions, providing a lasting solution.
