Our 4-Step Wildlife Removal & Prevention Process
At Pete’s Pest Patrol, we remove these animals safely and efficiently. Our process includes:
Humane Removal
We use species-appropriate traps, direct capture, or one-way doors that allow animals to exit but not re-enter. We also consider baby season and other restrictions, so removal is handled responsibly.
Exclusion: Seal Entry Points
Wildlife control Athens homeowners rely on requires seal-up work. We fortify accessible gaps with metal flashing/mesh and durable materials to discourage re-entry.
Sanitize & Restore the Attic
We remove nesting debris and droppings, apply appropriate sanitation measures, and explain restoration options if insulation is damaged. This helps reduce odor and contamination concerns.
Why wildlife exclusion matters: Many calls repeat because the entry point stays open. Closing gaps is how you get a longer-lasting fix.
