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

Professional Wildlife Services
Cell Phone: 702-577-2880

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Clark County Animal Services: (702) 455-7710

Professional Wildlife Services specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Nevada also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Professional Wildlife Services 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 702-577-2880 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 2025.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Nevada and Clark 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 Services is a full-service Spring Valley wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Spring Valley pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Professional Wildlife Services 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Professional Wildlife Services. 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 Spring Valley 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 Spring Valley 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 Spring Valley rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Nevada 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 Spring Valley pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Spring Valley 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 Spring Valley trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Spring Valley 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 Services does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Professional Wildlife Services. 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 Services also provides dead animal removal in Spring Valley. 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 Spring Valley snake removal - most of the snakes in Nevada are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Spring Valley. And remember, we are a private business, not Clark County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (702) 455-7710. Clark County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Spring Valley Wildlife Tip #1:


Raccoons often seek shelter in dark, secluded spaces, making the area under sheds and porches an attractive den site. Once established, they can cause damage by digging, chewing, and leaving behind waste. Preventing raccoons from taking up residence in these areas requires a proactive approach focused on making the space less appealing and physically blocking access.

Identify and Secure Potential Entry Points

The first step is to thoroughly inspect the perimeter of your shed and porch for any existing openings. Raccoons can squeeze through surprisingly small spaces. Once you've identified potential entry points, take steps to seal them.

• Wire Mesh: Use heavy-duty galvanized wire mesh (hardware cloth) with openings no larger than a half inch. This is a durable and effective barrier against raccoons.
• Digging Prevention: Since raccoons are capable diggers, extend the wire mesh at least 12 inches below ground level, bending it outward in an "L" shape. This will deter them from digging under the barrier.
• Secure the Edges: Attach the wire mesh securely to the shed or porch foundation using screws and washers. Ensure there are no gaps or loose edges that raccoons could exploit.
• Fill Existing Holes: For smaller holes or gaps, you can use expanding foam sealant in addition to the wire mesh for added security.

Make the Space Less Appealing

Raccoons prefer quiet, dark, and undisturbed areas. Making the space under your shed or porch less comfortable can encourage them to seek shelter elsewhere.

• Bright Lights: Install motion-activated or constant bright lights underneath the shed or porch. Raccoons prefer darkness.
• Noise Deterrents: Place a portable radio tuned to a talk station underneath the structure and leave it playing at a moderate volume, especially during the day when raccoons are typically resting.
• Strong Scents: Certain strong odors can be repellent. Place rags soaked in ammonia (in a secure container) or commercially available animal repellents underneath the shed or porch. Reapply scents regularly, especially after rain. Be cautious when using ammonia and ensure proper ventilation.

Remove Attractants

While raccoons under sheds and porches are primarily seeking shelter, the presence of food nearby can make the location more desirable.

• Secure Garbage Cans: Ensure your garbage cans are tightly sealed and stored away from the shed or porch area.
• Clean Up Spills: Promptly clean up any food spills or debris near the shed or porch.
• Avoid Feeding Pets Outdoors: Do not leave pet food or water under or near the shed or porch.

Evict Existing Raccoons Humanely

If raccoons are already residing under your shed or porch, it's important to ensure they have left before permanently sealing the area, especially during spring and summer when mothers may have young.

• One-Way Exclusion: Consider installing a one-way exclusion door over their entry point. This allows them to leave but prevents them from returning. Monitor the area to ensure all raccoons have exited before sealing the opening completely.
• Professional Help: If you suspect a mother with young is present or are uncomfortable with the eviction process, contact a professional wildlife removal service for assistance.

Regular Maintenance

Once you've secured the area, regularly inspect the perimeter of your shed and porch to ensure the barriers remain intact and no new entry points have developed. Early detection and repair can prevent future raccoon infestations.

By taking these preventative steps, you can effectively deter raccoons from taking up residence under your shed or porch, protecting your property from potential damage and ensuring a more peaceful coexistence with local wildlife.



Spring Valley Wildlife Tip #2:


Nevada Wildlife Information:

Nevada State bird: Mountain bluebird
State mammal: Desert bighorn sheep
State reptile: Desert tortoise
State fish: Lahontan cutthroat trout

Nevada is one of the closest states to being considered completely desert, but that would be a bit of an exaggeration considering the numerous mountain regions which provide vegetation to shelter and feed local wildlife. Second only to Alaska in the number of mountains within its boundaries, Nevada is definitely semi-arid and desert landscape. The region has lakes and rivers, and it occasionally benefits from thunderstorms generated by the Arizona Monsoon. The water only benefits the valleys at higher elevations in the mountains, creating what are called 'sky islands', oases for the wildlife living in the cooler temperatures of the state's peaks.

So fertile are some of the mountain valleys that Utah has two isolated wild horse herds, one in the Mountain Home Range, and the other herd in the Conger Range. Horses aren't the only large grazers that can be found in the Nevada mountains. There are elk, bighorn sheep, pronghorns, and mule deer. With those grazers come a number of predators like mountain lions, black bears and coyotes. Of all the larger predators, coyotes are the most wide-spread, adapting even to the flat, desert regions.

Up in the cooler zones, higher in the mountains, a unique animal named the American pika lives. This creature is larger than a mouse yet resembles a chinchilla with less fur. Sadly, this little animal suffers from loss of high-dwelling food sources, and it is no longer existent in many of the mountain ranges where it once thrived.

Pest animals in the state include pocket gophers, ringtails, skunks, rats, squirrels, and a host of different mouse species. Rabbits and hares also thrive in this environment, making up a large portion of the diet for animals like the coyote.

There are very few amphibians in Nevada, mainly because of their need for water. There are, however, many different reptiles including rattlesnakes, garter snakes, night snakes, skinks, whiptails, desert horned lizards, and Great basin whiptails.

The majority of Nevada, over 80 percent of the state, is owned by the government or the military. This means most of the population is crammed into tight places like Los Vegas. Not surprisingly, because humans infrequently branch out into the inhospitable desert infrequently, human and wildlife conflicts are fewer when compared to other states. In urban settings, birds tend to be the most problematic pest animal.
