Do I have to know the animal before I call?
No. Tell us where the noise is and what time of day you hear it. A smell, a torn vent, or "something ran along the ceiling at dawn" is plenty.
Our approach
A clear look, then a plan you can understand.
Wildlife work goes sideways when someone skips a step. We do not start with a trap and a guess. We start with the house.
-
Find what's inside
We look where you heard it, and where an animal could actually live. Attic, roofline, crawl space, under the deck. Sometimes the noise is a squirrel and the smell is something else. We want the whole picture before we talk about work.
-
Understand how it got in
Animals are specific. A thumb-wide gap can be a bat door. A torn gable screen can be a squirrel door. A raccoon may have made the door bigger on the way in. We trace the opening so the repair matches the animal.
-
Make a plan you can say yes or no to
You get plain talk. What we found, what we recommend, and what it takes. Removal and closing the entry are different jobs. One without the other is how people meet the same raccoon twice. If babies or protected bats change the timing, we say that before anyone closes a hole.
-
Do the work, and leave the door shut
When you want us to go ahead, we remove the animal in a way that fits the species and the season. Then we close the opening with materials teeth cannot treat as a snack. Foam by itself is not a repair. Wildlife exclusion is the part that keeps the quiet.
What we will not do
- We will not tell you it is a crisis just to rush you.
- We will not seal a mother out and leave babies in the wall.
- We will not pretend a price is real before we have seen the house.
- We will not ask you to identify the animal before we will listen.
A word on the rules
Indiana has rules about wild animals, and some bats are protected. The short version is that timing matters, and a few methods are off the table. You do not have to study the regulations tonight. We will tell you what applies to your house before work starts.
If you want the bat calendar from the state, the Indiana DNR bat page is the long version. We follow it.
Questions people actually ask
Why not just give a price over the phone?
The animal, the access, and the size of the repair all change the job. A squirrel in a gable vent and a raccoon family in a torn soffit are not the same afternoon. We look, then we give you an estimate for your house.
What if babies are inside?
Then we do not seal the hole and hope. Spring raccoons, and squirrels with a nest, need a plan that does not trap young in the wall. We will say so before any closing work.
Can you take bats out in the middle of summer?
We can inspect and plan. Indiana DNR says not to remove a bat colony from about June 1 through August 15, while pups are growing. Northern Indiana can run a little later. We do not seal flightless bats inside.
