If you have a problem with wildlife in your Clarksburg home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Maryland wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Maryland and Clarksburg, and I recommend the following:

ACS Wildlife Removal
Cell Phone: 240-398-3046

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Montgomery County Animal Services: (240) 773-5900

ACS Wildlife Removal specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Maryland also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and ACS Wildlife Removal is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 240-398-3046 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2022.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Maryland and Montgomery County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



ACS Wildlife Removal is a full-service Clarksburg wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Clarksburg pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. ACS Wildlife Removal performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Clarksburg wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Maryland to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Maryland law. We offer Clarksburg raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at ACS Wildlife Removal. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Clarksburg squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Clarksburg exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Clarksburg rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Maryland is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Clarksburg pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Clarksburg bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Clarksburg trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Clarksburg wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. ACS Wildlife Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by ACS Wildlife Removal. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. ACS Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Clarksburg. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Clarksburg snake removal - most of the snakes in Maryland are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Clarksburg. And remember, we are a private business, not Montgomery County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (240) 773-5900. Montgomery County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Clarksburg Wildlife Tip #1:
How to dispose of a dead cat
While a cat does not have a title like "man's best friend," the truth is that your feline can be just as important to your family as any other member. People love their cats. They love how they curl up with them while they sleep, how they awaken them each morning with a link on the cheek, or how they sit on their lap while they watch television each night. They truly are a remarkable and comforting animal.

When your cat dies, it can be a very difficult time. You love your pet, but the choice of what to do with it exactly can be a troublesome one. If you are wanting to know how to dispose of a dead cat, here are some suggestions for you.

First of all, where you need to begin is by deciding what you would like to do with the animal. What is meant here is if you want to keep its remains around or not. If that simply does not matter to you, then the choice could be to simply throw the cat away.

This may not seem particularly affectionate, but the truth is that your cat has passed on. If you are two double bag it into garbage bags, place it in your garbage can, and wait for the sanitation company to come by, you can quickly dispose of your cat without any issue. This is a perfectly acceptable option to disposing of your feline.

While you may find that in many communities there are laws that prohibit you from burying your dog, especially larger sized ones, it is less likely that there are any that prohibit you burying your cat in your yard. If you live in an area where you own lots of land then you can be sure this won't be an issue. No one would even know about it even if there was an ordinance that prohibited it. You can simply bury your cat somewhere in your yard at a place that allows you to visit your feline as you would like.

If you are looking for a way to be more formal about disposing of your cat, you are likely to find that there are both pet crematoriums and cemeteries in your area that allow you to either cremate your cat or to have it buried. Cree meeting your feline allows you to keep the animal with you if you so desire, or you could scatter its ashes in an area that you feel would be appropriate.

The use of the cemetery allows you to be as extravagant and the disposal of your cat as you would like. You can have a ceremony, choose a headstone, and the casket you would like your pet buried in. You can even choose a location in the cemetery that you feel would be appropriate for your cat.

The truth is that there are several options available to you for the disposal of your cat. It is simply a matter of what you feel is best for you during this tough time.

Clarksburg Wildlife Tip #2:


Maryland Wildlife Information:

Maryland State bird: Baltimore oriole
State mammal: Thoroughbred, calico cat, Chesapeake Bay retriever
State reptile: Diamondback terrapin
State fish: Striped bass
State insect: Baltimore checkerspot butterfly

Maryland is one of the most diverse states in the country, and it is so unique in its variety of habitats, it has been dubbed "America in miniature". This nickname is due to the fact the state has sand dunes, sea grass, swamps with tall cypress trees, thick oak forests on rolling hills, and mountains covered in pine woods. Despite the multiple ecosystems that exist in Maryland, there are no natural lakes in the state. Glacial activity did not extend into Maryland, and no deep holes were present to hold massive volumes of water. There are numerous natural ponds, but mankind has been forced to make the now plentiful lakes in the state.

Maryland is one of only a few states that have a population of wild horses. No horses in the United States are native; every herd is descended from stock brought over by explorers or settlers when the continent was first discovered. The horses in Maryland are contained on coastal islands. The horses are protected by law, and are allowed to roam free because of their historical relevance.

Horses aren't the only large grazers that aren't native to Maryland. Sika deer were originally introduced to the state, and are now populous enough to warrant a hunting season. The largest native grazer is the American elk, followed by the white-tailed deer.

Maryland doesn't just have large grazers, it also has large predators. Black bear are the most common large predators in the state, followed by coyotes in frequency of sightings. Wolves and mountain lions are much more reclusive but also share territory in the state.

Maryland wouldn't be complete without a list of common animals. Anywhere in the region you can find skunks, raccoons, porcupines, foxes, opossums, voles, moles, woodchucks, fishers, nutria, ermine, and mink. There are also bats, snakes, and a host of amphibians.

Being a coastal state, Maryland has an abundance of marine life, many of which are showcased in the Baltimore Aquarium. The list of marine wildlife includes sperm whales, beaked whales, dolphins, porpoises, humpback whales, and manatees. Of course, with a beach environment comes a large population of seagulls. Seagulls are one of the most problematic nuisance birds for business and homeowners along the coast. Their droppings are highly corrosive and can pose health risks for people.

You can always call ACS Wildlife Removal, any time of day, at 240-398-3046, for a price quote for Clarksburg wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Clarksburg, MD.
