Squirrel Control In Massachusetts
Squirrels are most active at dusk and dawn during the spring, summer, and autumn, but are only active around noon during the winter. They construct nests from leaves or use natural cavities for shelter and prefer to live in areas with an abundance of nuts, berries, fruits, flowers or grains. Squirrels will typically enter homes through gutter lines, holes or gaps around dormers, and un-capped chimneys.
During our inspection, we will identify the entry points and set traps and/or one-way doors to catch and remove the entire nest. Trapping normally takes 1-2 weeks to catch and we remove 3-5 squirrels on average. After trapping, we will inspect your home and seal any entry points to prevent any future nesting. Warranties are provided if all holes are easily accessible with a 40 ft. ladder and covered by our scope of services, please call for more information.
How to Prevent Squirrels in Massachusetts
- Trim all tree branches back at least 6-8 feet from your home
- Remove any bird feeders
- Remove any standing water sources
- Keep tight-fitting lids on garbage containers
Raccoon Control in Massachusetts
Raccoons are opportunistic feeders that feed on berries, frogs, seafood, birds, eggs, and trash in urban environments. In homes, nests are typically found in chimneys, sheds, garages, wall voids, and attics. Raccoons are active at dawn and dusk and are nocturnal but may be active during the day if food is available. They do not hibernate but may be inactive for long periods during the winter. Raccoons have been found to carry rabies, roundworm, and even canine distemper.
We set cages to humanely capture and remove raccoons from your property. Our services include daily animal trapping and removal. After trapping is completed, we seal any assessable entry holes to prevent re-entry. Our expert technicians will provide preventative maintenance recommendations to help you achieve long-term control of these problematic pests.

Bat Control & Removal In Massachusetts
In most cases, bats enter your home through vents, screens, open doors/windows or gaps along the roof or gutter lines. Therefore, a thorough inspection must be performed to provide an estimate for bat exclusion. Bat exclusion programs are guaranteed for one year.
Bats may enter your home in the middle of the night through open windows/doors and exclusion is not necessary. In these cases, we have a technician on call to remove the bat the same night. When you see a bat in your home, try to enclose it in a room and place a towel under the door until it can be removed from the premises safely.
In rare cases, you may be dealing with a colony of bats. Evidence of a bat colony includes several bat sightings, evidence of bat droppings around nesting areas or entryways into the home, and even clicking noises. Bat colonies can only be dealt with only during May and Mid-August – October because of bat breeding season over the Spring/Summer and hibernation over the Winter. This prevents young bats from being left behind without a way out of your home. If you suspect you may have a colony in your home, please schedule an inspection today for a professional assessment.
