If you have a problem with wildlife in your Soddy Daisy home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Tennessee 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 Tennessee and Soddy Daisy, and I recommend the following:

Complete Animal Removal
Cell Phone: 423-805-9915

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Hamilton County Animal Services: (423) 624-5302

Complete Animal Removal specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Tennessee also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Complete Animal 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 423-805-9915 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 Tennessee and Hamilton 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



Complete Animal Removal is a full-service Soddy Daisy wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Soddy Daisy pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Complete Animal 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Complete Animal 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 Soddy Daisy 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 Soddy Daisy 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 Soddy Daisy rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Tennessee 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 Soddy Daisy pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Soddy Daisy 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 Soddy Daisy trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Soddy Daisy 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. Complete Animal Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Complete Animal 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. Complete Animal Removal also provides dead animal removal in Soddy Daisy. 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 Soddy Daisy snake removal - most of the snakes in Tennessee are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Soddy Daisy. And remember, we are a private business, not Hamilton County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (423) 624-5302. Hamilton County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Soddy Daisy Wildlife Tip #1:
What is a house mouse's natural diet?

If you were raised on Saturday morning cartoons, you might believe that all mice eat is cheese. If you have lived through an infestation of mice you might believe that they eat paper, soap, and drywall as well as well as many other items around your home. Because their front incisors (teeth) never stop growing they must constantly chew things to keep them shortened and sharp. They also tend to chew up wires, books, papers and insulation to make tiny pieces that they can use to build their nests.

In fact, they prefer to have seeds, grains and fruits. As far as their diet, Mice are omnivorous, meaning they will eat both plants as well as animals. The ordinary house mouse, like many rodents, is a known "opportunistic eater", and will consume everything it can find. In the wild they will graze in fields, pick up deadfall from fruit trees, and enjoy the occasional frog eggs, tasty bug, or larvae. When living in your home, it is perfectly happy to eat whatever you and your pets are eating. In fact, in times of a food shortage, mice will even resort to cannibalism and proceed to eat each other, starting with the weak and the young. Your house can provide such a large amount of food for a colony of mice that they probably never have to venture outside to forage.

Although they only consume a few grams of food a day, proportionately speaking you can say that Mice have voracious appetites. They must feed 15 to 20 times per day to support their metabolism, and pregnant or nursing females need even more. To make sure they can feed, mice will choose to nest near a readily accessible source of food and water. Your home is perfect in that there is access to your kitchen pantry and trash as well as any pet food bowls. A pregnant mouse will give birth after about 3 weeks, and will need an additional amount of food to support both herself and her nursing young. After just 14-20 days, the young mice are already eating solid food and foraging like their elders.

If you fear you may fall victim to a mouse infestation take precautions? Do not ever leave unattended trash or pet food bowls out and make sure to clean up any mess in a food preparation or dining area. Keep all bagged and soft packaged items in securable cabinet or sealed containers. The cylindrical body of a mouse allows it to fit in a crack smaller than 2 inches. Keep alert and look for signs of mice like holes in bags or small dark rice sized dropping in areas were food and water are available. You may also hear sounds in your walls or even spot a mouse running across the floor. If you think you have mice, contact a professional for help right away!

Soddy Daisy Wildlife Tip #2:


Tennessee Wildlife Information:

Tennessee State bird: Northern mockingbird, bobwhite quail
State mammal: Raccoon
State reptile: Eastern box turtle
State amphibian: Tennessee cave salamander
State fish: Largemouth bass, channel catfish
State insect: 7-spotted ladybug, European honeybee

Tennessee sometimes gets a reputation for being a land of nothing but flat fields and farms. This is untrue, and comes from the fact it transitions to the center of the country where states like Kansas really are primarily flat farmland. Tennessee is, in fact, full of mountains and lush valleys, having a number of mountain ranges including the Appalachians and the Smokey Mountains. The summers are typically hot and humid, but higher elevations can be quite cold in the winter with significant snowfall. A number of animals make their homes in this state, enjoying the warm weather and comparably milder winters.

This state is actually known for its salamander population in the Smokey Mountain National Park. With over 30 species of salamanders in five different families, the park is considered the salamander capital of the world.

Not surprisingly, since it is the state mammal, raccoons are one of the top nuisance creatures in Tennessee. The masked garbage-raiders are right at home in the state's forests, eventually moving in to invade human homes when it's time to have a family. Homeowners in Tennessee also have to worry about skunks, bats, beavers, muskrats, woodchucks, squirrels, and opossums.

Armadillos also make short work of people's yards. The armadillo, while a quiet and docile animal, is very destructive when it decides to search a yard for grubs, bugs, or worms. Thankfully, these critters are easy to trap, and some areas of Tennessee consider them a delicacy. People must be careful consuming armadillo meat as it can carry leprosy. Despite the concern, there are a number of ways to cook the creature, and most recipes favor the BBQ.

Campers can attest to evidence of the larger animals in Tennessee. Black bear are very common in the mountains, and these large predators can grow to be over 500 pounds. Second to the black bear only in size are the cougars. These large cats are incredibly smart, and very dangerous if they decide to stalk human prey. A problematic cougar can watch a person for days while formulating a plan of attack. Wolves and coyotes are also top carnivores, though wolves are small in number, having just been reintroduced into the state back in the early 1990's.

You can always call Complete Animal Removal, any time of day, at 423-805-9915, for a price quote for Soddy Daisy wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Soddy Daisy, TN.
