Happy National Wildlife Day! 🦝🦇🐿️

From bats and squirrels to raccoons and birds, wildlife is an essential part of the world around us. Sometimes, however, animals move a little too close for comfort, finding their way into attics, chimneys, walls and other areas of homes and businesses.

Varment Guard and Plunkett's Pest Control work together to provide knowledgeable, responsible solutions that protect people, property and wildlife.

Today is a reminder to appreciate wild animals from a safe distance, and to call a professional when they decide to move indoors.

Buried wire installed 🏡

Buried wire was installed around the perimeter of the deck to prevent animals from digging underneath and establishing a den site. This creates an underground barrier that discourages digging behavior and helps protect the structure from future wildlife intrusion.

It’s a long-term exclusion solution that keeps the space clean, secure, and wildlife-free without disrupting the look of the property. 💪

Raccoon exclusion on a split-level home 🦝🏡

This job involved installing raccoon box-outs, but the home was also undergoing roof replacement after storm damage. To avoid work being removed during construction, exclusion work was paused until the new roof was completed.

In the meantime, traps and a camera were set for three weeks at no additional charge to ensure no new raccoons moved in during the insurance process. Once the roof was finished, the box-outs were completed the same day.

Timing it right to protect the home and the work 💪

A successful raccoon eviction in progress.

After installing eviction measures, this female raccoon began relocating her kits to an alternate den site. Once activity has ceased, we can move forward with permanently securing the entry point.

Successfully removed raccoon kits from an attic space. 🦝

Bats were roosting in a vacant chimney flue and gaining access into the home through missing bricks in the chimney, which led into wall voids.

Since the chimney was inactive, we sealed it off and completed the necessary work to prevent further wildlife entry. 🏡
