Do you offer 24-hour emergency service?

What should I do right now if animals are in my home?
Keep people and pets away from the area, do not block any openings and call us. If anyone has been bitten or scratched, call your doctor and 911 if it is serious.
FAQ
Animals and timing
What should I do if I hear noises in my attic?
Do not seal anything. Note the time of day and the type of sound and call us. A daytime scratch is often a squirrel, while night thumping can be a raccoon, a rodent or bats.
Will baby animals be left behind?
No. We check for young before any work and time removals so mothers and babies are removed or reunited together.
Do you handle bats?
Yes. Bats are protected and need careful timing, so we use one-way exits outside the pup season and seal the building afterward.
Do you clean up after the animals?
Yes. We remove droppings and soiled insulation, sanitize, and can install new insulation and repair damage.
When is baby season in Tennessee?
Roughly late winter through summer, depending on the animal. Squirrels and raccoons can have young in late winter and spring, and bats have pups from mid-May through July.
Do you handle snakes?
Yes. We identify and remove snakes and help reduce what attracts them, such as rodents and clutter.
FAQ

Which animals do you handle?

Do you work on commercial properties?

FAQ
Safety and rules
Are some animals protected?
Yes. Many birds, several bats and other animals are protected by state or federal law. We advise you and use deterrence or exclusion as the law allows.
Is it safe to clean droppings myself?
Small amounts can be cleaned with gloves, a respirator and wet cleaning, but never dry sweep. Larger amounts should be handled by a professional.
Who do I call about bears or deer?
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency manages them. We help you protect property and pets.
Are your free tools a substitute for an inspection?
No. They are planning guides. An inspection of the actual roof, attic, crawl space and yard is the only way to be sure.
