Massachusetts experiences distinct seasons that impact wildlife activity. Cold winters often drive rodents and other small mammals indoors, while spring and summer see an increase in larger animals like raccoons, squirrels, and bats seeking nesting sites in attics and wall voids of older homes. Massachusetts has specific regulations regarding the trapping and removal of certain wildlife species, particularly protected species or those posing public health risks. We are knowledgeable about these requirements and ensure all removal and exclusion efforts comply with state and local laws. Our service begins with a detailed phone consultation to understand your specific animal problem. We then schedule an on-site inspection to identify the animal, locate entry points, and assess the extent of any damage. Humane removal is followed by exclusion work to seal entry points and sanitation to restore a healthy environment.
