Living in the beautiful landscapes of Southern Maine means being close to nature—but sometimes, nature gets a little too close. Unwanted wildlife in or around your home can cause damage, health risks, and a great deal of stress. When wild animals invade your space, it's tempting to handle the situation yourself. However, there are many reasons why calling in a professional wildlife removal service is the best—and safest—choice.
Safety First—for You and the Animal
Wild animals like raccoons, bats, squirrels, skunks, and even birds can become aggressive if threatened. They may carry diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, or parasites like ticks and fleas. Professional wildlife technicians have the training and equipment to handle animals safely and humanely, reducing the risk of injury or infection.
Proper Identification and Tailored Solutions
Each species requires a unique approach for safe and effective removal. A trained wildlife expert can correctly identify the animal, assess the extent of the infestation, and implement a targeted strategy. At Critter Control of Southern Maine, our technicians are experienced with the local wildlife and the best methods for dealing with them—whether it's a family of squirrels in your attic or a skunk under the porch.
Prevention of Future Problems
Removing the animal is just the first step. Professionals also identify how the animal got in and help seal entry points to prevent future intrusions. Our comprehensive wildlife control services include damage repair, exclusion techniques, and habitat modification—so once the critter is gone, it stays gone.
Protecting Your Home and Property
Wildlife can cause significant structural damage in a short amount of time. Chewed wires, torn insulation, contaminated ductwork, and damaged roofing are just a few common issues. Left untreated, these problems can become costly. A professional removal service can minimize damage by addressing the issue quickly and repairing affected areas.
Legal and Ethical Considerations
In Maine, certain species are protected by state and federal regulations. DIY removal could unintentionally violate wildlife laws. Our team is trained in the legal handling of wildlife, ensuring ethical and compliant practices at every step.
Peace of Mind
Perhaps the biggest benefit of all is peace of mind. Knowing that a licensed, insured professional is resolving your wildlife problem allows you to relax and focus on what matters most—your family, your home, and your peace of mind.
