We remove all kinds of wildlife. Here are some of our most common problem causing critters.
Raccoon Removal
Raccoons are common throughout most of the United States. They are easily recognized by their black eye mask and ringed (striped) tail. Raccoons are nocturnal, meaning they do most of their sleeping during the day and are active at night. Although uncommon, raccoons are sometimes seen during the day. This is often a viewed as a sign that the raccoon may be sick. That is not always the case, but it is a best practice to avoid a raccoon whether day or night time. Raccoons have become accustom to seeing humans on a regular basis, so they may not always run when approached.
Raccoons are omnivores. They will eat just about anything. Common foods for raccoons are fruits & vegetables, insects, fish, smaller mammals, eggs, bird seed, and leftovers found in the local dumpster.
Raccoon breeding season is typically in January-February. They birth their young, 3-5 kits, in April or May. The mother raccoon raises the kits herself. They will be able to fend for themselves by the time their first winter comes.

Squirrel Removal
There are multiple species of squirrel in the Nashville area, but the most common is the gray squirrel. Squirrels can be found in every neighborhood, park, wooded area, and even in the city streets. They have adapted well to human invasion, and even take advantage of the structures we build. Squirrels live on a wide variety diet of tree buds, bark, nuts, bird seed, berries, insects, discarded human food (trash), eggs, and even other small rodents.
Nashville squirrels produce a litter of young twice annually with a litter that usually consists of four young. They live in holes in trees, nests made of leaves and sticks in the branches of trees, and even homes.

Skunk Removal
We all know the black and white striped smelly creature known as a skunk. Skunks have a defense that consists of spraying a foul odor at their predator when they feel endangered. This odor is usually enough to deter the predator and forces them to leave smelling a whole lot worse than before they introduced themselves to the skunk. The smell can lasts for days after contact. Skunks are also one of the main carrier of rabies and for this reason they are a RVS (Rabies Vector Species).
Skunks typically live in holes in the ground. These holes can be under foundations, porches, sheds, barns, and trees. Skunks have a decently large home territory and may have multiple holes throughout the territory that they frequent. Skunks have a breeding season in February. During this time the skunks will travel out of their territories in search for a mate. A skunk’s litter is usually between 5-8 kits.
A skunk can usually be trapped and removed from the property without spraying its scent.
If you have a hunch that a skunk is living on your property or you catch a skunk and aren’t sure what to do, give us a call at 615-274-9453.
