Animal & Wildlife Removal in Columbia

Wildlife Signs & Common Species in Columbia

We handle squirrels, raccoons, opossums, bats, pigeons, snakes, and other animals common to the region. The appropriate response depends on the species, its location, available access points, visible damage, and whether animals or nesting materials remain inside.

Signs and locations that may warrant a wildlife inspection include:

• Attics and rooflines: Scratching, movement, nesting materials, damaged vents, or activity near soffits.
• Crawlspaces and walls: Unexplained noises, droppings, odors, or chewed building materials.
• Garages and enclosed areas: Animals entering through gaps, vents, doors, or other structural openings.
• Exterior areas: Repeated activity near possible access points around a home or commercial building.

From Wildlife Inspection Through Cleanup

Animal activity rarely calls for a one-step response. We evaluate the animal, its access route, affected materials, and visible damage before determining which services are appropriate.

Our wildlife service can include:

• Free inspection: We identify the animal, evaluate the extent of the activity, and locate entry points.
• Humane trapping and removal: We remove wildlife intruders using methods appropriate to the situation.
• Wildlife exclusion: We close openings animals use to enter and recommend preventive measures based on the structure.
• Affected-area care: After removal, we sanitize and clean affected areas and provide assistance with wildlife damage.

South Carolina Wildlife Removal Considerations

Removal methods can depend on the species, season, property location, and circumstances of the damage. South Carolina rules may restrict routine relocation, and some trapping or removal situations may require permits.

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources identifies wildlife control operators as a resource for nuisance animal concerns. Property owners shouldn’t attempt trapping or relocation without understanding the rules that apply to their situation.
