San Juan Capistrano Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing San Juan Capistrano, CA

If you have a problem with wildlife in your San Juan Capistrano home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in California 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 California and San Juan Capistrano, and I recommend the following:

The OC Wildlife Removal Pro
Cell Phone: 949-432-4195

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Orange County Animal Services: (949) 388-0034



The OC Wildlife Removal Pro specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. California also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and The OC Wildlife Removal Pro 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 949-432-4195 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 2020.

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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully California and Orange 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

  • The OC Wildlife Removal Pro is a full-service San Juan Capistrano wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular San Juan Capistrano pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. The OC Wildlife Removal Pro 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.

    San Juan Capistrano wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in California 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 California law. We offer San Juan Capistrano raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at The OC Wildlife Removal Pro. 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 San Juan Capistrano 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 San Juan Capistrano 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 San Juan Capistrano rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. California 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 San Juan Capistrano pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is San Juan Capistrano 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 San Juan Capistrano trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a San Juan Capistrano 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. The OC Wildlife Removal Pro does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by The OC Wildlife Removal Pro. 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. The OC Wildlife Removal Pro also provides dead animal removal in San Juan Capistrano. 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 San Juan Capistrano snake removal - most of the snakes in California are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in San Juan Capistrano. And remember, we are a private business, not Orange County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (949) 388-0034. Orange County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    San Juan Capistrano Wildlife Tip #1:
    What Animals Do Rats Kill?

    Rats are one of the only species to have truly earned their survival throughout their seemingly perpetual existence. They are the epitome of omnivorous digestion, with their complex bodies thoroughly capable of digesting virtually any type of food source. This particular adaptation gives them quite a high ranking within the food chain, and rats as a species can actually adopt new genetic traits within the course of a few months in order to adapt to the food of a certain environment. Despite their relatively miniscule size, rats are totally adept at doing whatever it takes to survive, including killing other creatures with surprising ease.

    Why Do Rats Kill?

    As an omnivorous animal, rats do not necessarily need to kill in order to survive. They can eat virtually any food substance. Despite this fact, rats have been known to repeatedly kill other species. They prey on the young, on eggs, on whatever they can manage. Most of the death, then, can be primarily attributed to resource competition. Rats are eliminating their competitors for natural food sources in order to ensure their own survival. When rats are in highly populated environments rife with human activity, there is usually a great deal of food to be scavenged and a much harder terrain for killing, and therefore, the focus on eliminating competition and securing dietary needs is lessened. Rats will prey on just about anything, and they have the strange ability to successfully assault virtually any creature.

    What Types of Creatures Can a Rat Kill?

    Rats are surprisingly capable for being such small and seemingly non-hazardous rodents, and their predatory status might strike some as odd. However, rats are thoroughly murderous when they need to be, and the list of potential victims is fairly robust. Because rats can adapt their diets to their environment rather quickly, the types of animals that rats will kill for food or to protect resources are varied and ever-changing. In general, though, rats tend to kill small mammals as well as birds and lizards. They can kill kittens and puppies, mice and hamsters. Without remorse, they'll kill fish, turtles, snakes, crabs; any other rodent or scavenging animal is opportune prey for the sneaky, deadly rat. Some species of rats can survive in somewhat aquatic conditions, making virtually any type of creature game for death. Rats have even been known to kill other rats before.

    California Wildlife Information:

    California State bird: California quail
    State mammal: California grizzly bear and the grey whale
    State reptile: Desert tortoise
    State fish: Golden trout and Garibaldi
    State insect: California dogface butterfly

    California is home to the infamous redwood tree, a plant so large it could easily accommodate a road through the center of it. These trees make up one of the most spectacular national forests in the United States and provide shelter to thousands of different animal species. Like smaller forests around the country, the redwoods house raccoons, squirrels, porcupines, and rabbits. Prey and predator animals abound, and California has its fair share of grizzly bear sightings.

    All of these animals can become potential pests for homeowners living on the fringes of such a massive nature preserve. Rural residents are accustomed to securing garbage cans and basements to prevent a curious skunk or gopher from moving in. But forest animals aren't the only creatures known to cause trouble in this coastal state. California has to do daily battle with marine and semiaquatic life.

    While shy and often unapproachable, sea lions and seals are abundant on the beaches. These animals draw to them gulls by the hundreds, and the resulting piles of droppings are not what most tourists head to the beach to see. Restaurants also have issues with the bold and pesky seagulls. Special netting and bird spikes are the only practical way to keep diners free of bird poop without chasing away patrons.

    California isn't just about being warm. While this state has steady, mild temperatures for most of the months of the year, there are high elevations which see frigid temperatures and persisting snow. Such a variable climate makes the state a perfect location for a diverse population of animals. Not only can creatures like coyotes and bears survive in the colder regions, salamanders and frogs abound in the areas where sun and warm are the norm.

    As a tourist state, California has a large population, and such a significant amount of people means eventually having human-wildlife conflicts. The most common critters that have to be removed from California homes are raccoons, bats, pigeons, skunks, and a variety of birds including woodpeckers, swallows, and seagulls. Honeybees are also an issue for homeowners in California. If you think it's difficult to button up a home
