Your home should be a haven, a place where you can relax and enjoy peace of mind. When wildlife invades that space, they don't just steal food or shelter; they rob you of your comfort and security. Whether it's raccoons rummaging through your trash, squirrels nesting in your attic, or bats hanging from your eaves, these animals are more than just a nuisance. They can pose serious health risks and cause structural damage to your property.
Specialized Exclusion Services At Grade A Critter
We offer a robust set of exclusion solutions designed to deal with nuisance animals once and for all. Our highly-trained experts start by thoroughly assessing your property to identify potential entry points. These could range from holes in your attic to weaknesses in your home’s foundation. We understand that these pests are not just wandering in aimlessly; they are targeting vulnerabilities in your property.
Once we have identified these weak spots, we use proven trapping methods to remove the animals quickly and effectively. But our job doesn't end there. We also ensure your property is fortified against any future incursions. This means sealing up any entry points and creating physical barriers that prevent these pests from returning.
The Pitfalls Of DIY Approaches
Many people think that tackling a wildlife problem is as simple as patching a hole or setting a trap. This is far from the truth. Wildlife are adept survivors with keen senses and nimble reflexes. You might patch up one hole, only to find that the critter has chewed a new one the next day. And setting traps without proper knowledge can be dangerous, not only for you but also for pets and children who might come in contact with them.
On top of this, there are legal guidelines that dictate how nuisance wildlife must be handled, relocated, or disposed of. Failure to adhere to these rules can result in legal consequences. That’s why it’s not only more effective but also safer to rely on professionals for managing wildlife problems.
The Numbers Don't Lie
Did you know that wildlife-related damage to homes in the U.S. can run into the millions of dollars each year? The sheer scope of the problem illustrates the necessity for taking effective preventive measures. Insurance claims for such damages can run to thousands of dollars, causing further stress and financial strain. That’s why we prioritize quick response times and efficient service. We don’t compromise when it comes to the security and sanctity of your home. Our trapping, removal, and exclusion methods are thorough, ensuring that once removed, these pests don’t return. We see our job as not just solving an immediate problem but also as protecting your home against future invasions.
While immediate removal is vital, the long-term solution lies in prevention. It's not enough to simply trap and remove the wildlife; you have to make your property less attractive to them in the first place. That’s where our prevention measures come into play, giving you the peace of mind that your home remains secure, not just today, but in the future as well.

Frequently Asked Wildlife Exclusion Questions
Q1: My neighbors feed stray cats, and I'm worried about the impact on local wildlife. Is this something Grade A Critter can address?
A1: Community dynamics can indeed complicate wildlife management. When neighbors engage in practices like feeding stray animals, it can inadvertently attract other wildlife to the area, leading to unintended consequences like an imbalance in the local ecosystem. While we can't directly intervene in what your neighbors choose to do on their property, we can offer consultation services to educate communities about the broader implications of such actions. For your property, we can design a comprehensive strategy to minimize the impact of local feeding practices on your home and its surroundings. Our expert team will analyze the specific challenges and recommend ways to maintain your property's integrity without causing tension with your neighbors.
Q2: Can Grade A Critter assist in "wildlife-proofing" a property before construction begins?
A2: Absolutely. It's far easier to preemptively address wildlife issues before laying the first brick than to resolve them afterward. We offer consultation services for properties in the pre-construction phase. We'll survey the land and advise on best practices for making your future home less inviting to local fauna, thereby reducing the likelihood of wildlife interactions once the building is complete. This could involve recommendations on types of plants to include in landscaping, placement of garbage enclosures, and even advice on drainage systems that deter nesting.
Q3: I've heard that my home's "energy footprint" can attract or repel wildlife. Is this true, and how does Grade A Critter consider this?
A3: There's a burgeoning field of study looking at how the energy output of a home—like heat, light, and even electromagnetic fields—can affect wildlife behavior. Animals might be drawn to the warmth of a home during winter months or be repelled by certain types of lighting. We consider these factors when devising a comprehensive management plan. For instance, simple adjustments, like changing outdoor lighting schemes or installing energy-efficient windows that reduce heat leakage, can make your home less attractive to wildlife. Our recommendations are backed by the latest scientific research and customized to fit your property's unique energy footprint.
