Johns Island Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Johns Island, SC

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Johns Island home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in South Carolina 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 South Carolina and Johns Island, and I recommend the following:

Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. South Carolina also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Professional Wildlife and Rodent 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.

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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully South Carolina and Charleston 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

  • Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal is a full-service Johns Island wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Johns Island pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Professional Wildlife and Rodent 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.

    Johns Island wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in South Carolina 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 South Carolina law. We offer Johns Island raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Professional Wildlife and Rodent 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 Johns Island 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 Johns Island 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 Johns Island rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. South Carolina 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 Johns Island pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Johns Island 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 Johns Island trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Johns Island 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. Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife and Rodent 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. Professional Wildlife and Rodent Removal also provides dead animal removal in Johns Island. 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 Johns Island snake removal - most of the snakes in South Carolina are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Johns Island. And remember, we are a private business, not Charleston County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 843-743-7200. Charleston County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Johns Island Wildlife Tip #1:
    What to do if you have Chimney Swifts in your chimney

    Do you have any idea of what chimney swifts really are? These are assumed as the noises that come from the chimney but actually they are noises coming from bats. Below will give you an understanding of what Chimney Swifts are.

    What Are Chimney Swifts?

    Chimney swifts, by definition, are birds with a very sad story. They were once roosted in the hollow trees that can be found in North America. While the American pioneers moved westward through the continent, the forests were also cut down. This scenario had just simply made the Chimney Swifts feel devastated.

    These birds were very adaptable. Instead of living in the hollow trees, they decided it staying in the masonry chimneys. That is why the American Swift became known later on as the Chimney Swift.

    Actually, they pose beneficial effects to the nature and the environment. They are a pest control that is exactly the same as bats. They are 1/3 of their weight in insect pests/flying pests like termites, mosquitoes and flies every day.

    In addition to that, they are secured and safeguarded by the Federal law and wildlife codes. They run out of their places to survive. If you have noticed Chimney Swifts in your chimney, there's a need to comply with the rules and regulations that surround these birds.

    Have a Wildlife Professional Visit your Place/Home

    It will help if you first ask assistance from wildlife professional to visit your place or home. You need to spend some time to know what exactly it is that live in your chimney. Remember as well that not all of wildlife professionals can handle different problems. The one you may have asked for help may not be professional enough when handling chimney swifts but can help you with bats.

    Listen Carefully

    You need to take the time to listen to the noises that come out of the chimney. Chimney swifts do not make loud noises. Be wary of hearing out a lot of bats or Chimney swifts.

    Install a Twilight Watch

    If you want, you may install a twilight watch. This will watch over bats that fly out of their houses during the evening hours. If you see something that flies and gets into the chimney by evening, it may mean to say that a bird is set up to take its nest for a night.

    Moreover, they have one nest for one chimney. If you see a couple of Chimney Swifts that fly, they mostly fly in for a night.

    Johns Island Wildlife Tip #2:


    South Carolina Wildlife Information:

    South Carolina State bird: Carolina wren, wild turkey
    State mammal: White-tailed deer
    State reptile: Loggerhead sea turtle
    State amphibian: Spotted salamander
    State fish: Striped bass
    State insect: Carolina mantis

    South Carolina is a coastal state, but its sandy shores extend much further inland than you might expect. Millions of years ago, the ocean coast was much different from what it is now, and the center of the state still shows evidence of ancient sand dunes from that time period. Despite the sandy soil, much of South Carolina has reverted back to forest, though the state is relatively flat except for a small patch of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the upper corner. South Carolina gets the best of both worlds-terrestrial and marine animals all in one state.

    The marine animals seen by beach-goers are nothing short of amazing. South Carolina sees a number of different whale species. There are also dolphin pods, and porpoises that leap through the waves. Unfortunately, like any state along the coast, seagulls take full advantage of people on the sand, going so far as to steal food right out of people's hands. Not only do the gulls harass tourists, they create problems for local businesses and homeowners. The droppings from the birds are very corrosive.

    Inland, the seagulls aren't so powerful. The animal ruling the territories in South Carolina is the alligator. Though not as densely populated as in some states, alligators are in much of the southern part of South Carolina, where the temperatures are more consistent. More widely distributed through the state are coyotes and black bears. There are also red wolves, grey wolves, and mountain lions in South Carolina.

    White-tailed deer and wild hogs tend to be the most common grazers in this state. Many years ago, there were both herds of bison and of elk, but deforestation and hunting have made both species extinct to South Carolina. Any bison herds present are privately owned.

    Nuisance animals live in South Carolina, just as they live in most other states. This region is ideal for pest critters like raccoons, skunks, opossums, rats, mice, and bats. Due to warmer temperature, bats can be particularly problematic because they do not need to migrate away from their roost if it is inside of a home.

    South Carolina also has a number of snakes due to the warm, humid weather. Of the four venomous snakes in the United States, South Carolina has them all. There are cottonmouths, copperheads, coral snakes, and several species of rattlesnakes.
