Opossums are mostly harmless, but not in your crawl space. They're moved out humanely and the entry is sealed.

03Groundhog Control
Big burrows beside sheds, decks and foundations. Once the groundhog is out, buried mesh stops it digging back in.

04Armadillo Removal
Small, cone-shaped holes all over the lawn are armadillos hunting grubs. Removal plus fencing keeps them out.
Explore this serviceWhy do animals keep coming back?
Skunks, opossums, groundhogs, armadillos and other wild animals are part of life near homes. Trouble starts when one moves into the crawl space, digs under the shed or settles in the attic to raise its young.
The fix follows a simple order: figure out which animal it is, check for babies, let it leave or remove it humanely, then seal the gap with metal so nothing else moves in. Never handle a wild animal, and never seal a hole while one might still be inside.
Below you'll find how to tell these animals apart, when babies are born where you live, how to make your yard less inviting and what removal usually costs.
What kind of wildlife problem are you seeing?
A smell under the deck
A strong, musky odor after dark often means a skunk is denning under the deck, porch or shed.
Holes in the yard
A big burrow by the shed points to a groundhog. Lots of small, shallow holes in the lawn point to armadillos or skunks digging for grubs.
Noises overhead
Quick scurrying at dawn is usually squirrels. Heavy thumps at night suggest a raccoon or opossum.
What should you ask before booking?
Ask what the visit includes, how much it costs, and whether a follow-up is included. It’s also helpful to know what you’ll need to do before treatment and when you can use the area again.
Have children or pets at home? Mention them when discussing treatment. For a business, let the company know your opening hours so you can talk about a convenient time to visit.
How wildlife activity changes through the year
- Spring: Baby season. Mothers den under decks and in attics; don't seal while young are inside.
- Summer: Young animals roam at night. Secure trash and pet food.
- Fall: Animals hunt for winter dens. A good time to seal gaps.
- Winter: Groundhogs sleep through it; skunks and opossums den up in cold snaps.
