Fredericksburg & Central Virginia
Squirrels, bats, raccoons, birds, mice, snakes and more. Wherever the situation allows, we use methods that get the animal out without ever handling it — safer for the animal, and safer for us — then we seal your home so it can't come back.

Tap the closest match. You don't have to know what the animal is — that's our job.
Scratching and rolling overhead in daylight, worst around dawn and dusk. Squirrels chew in at soffit corners, gable vents and roof edges, and they come back to the same hole year after year. We find the entry, set it up so they leave on their own without being handled, then close the opening properly.
Bats are protected, and there are stretches of the year when a roost legally can't be sealed — the pups can't fly yet, and closing the entry would shut them inside. We're Bat Standards Certified through NWCOA and our Virginia permit covers bat work, so we can tell you what's allowed right now, do the exclusion, and clean up the guano.
Heavy, deliberate movement at night, and usually visible damage — a torn soffit, a pushed-in roof vent, a ripped gable screen. It's often a mother with a litter, so timing matters. We inspect, get the whole family out, and rebuild what they tore open.
Droppings along walls and in cupboards, quick scratching inside the walls, a musky smell that won't clear. Rodents get in through gaps you'd never believe were big enough. We seal the building envelope first — otherwise you're just feeding a queue — then monitor and control until it's done.
Chirping behind a bathroom fan or a dryer vent, nesting material hanging out of a gable end. A packed dryer line is a fire risk, and a blocked vent is a moisture problem. We clear the nest and fit guards so nothing rebuilds in it.
Most snakes found around a Virginia house are non-venomous, and they're there because something else is — usually mice. If one is loose in your living space, call and say so and we'll prioritize it. Then we deal with the rodents and the gaps that let both of them in.
A burrow under a shed, deck, porch or slab, with a fan of soil pushed out of it. The tunnelling undermines footings and concrete over time. We handle the animal, then screen and trench the opening so nothing digs its way back in.
Daytime activity usually points to squirrels or birds — they're awake when you are. Don't seal anything yet: closing a hole while an animal is inside is how people end up with something dead in a wall.
Night noise usually means mice, rats, raccoons or bats. The slower and heavier it sounds, the bigger the animal. Tell us what you hear and where in the house and we can usually narrow it down on the phone, then confirm it at the inspection.
Droppings and a strong smell mean something has been living there a while, not just passing through. Some of it you shouldn't disturb yourself — bat guano especially. Let us identify it before you start cleaning.
If something is loose in your living space right now — a bat, a snake, a bird — call and say so, and we'll prioritize it. Shut the door to that room, open an exterior door or window if it's safe to, and don't try to corner it.
Chewed soffit corners, a lifted ridge cap, a torn gable vent, a screen pushed out of a roof vent. That damage is the way in, and it's also the repair. We fix the structure as part of the exclusion — you don't need a second trade for it.
That's the most useful thing you can tell us — it saves an hour of hunting. Note the spot and roughly what time. Don't seal it: an animal shut in will chew its way out somewhere worse.
That's normal — most people call us not knowing. Tell us what you hear, when you hear it and where in the house, and we'll usually narrow it down over the phone. The inspection settles it: inside and out, every entry point found and photographed.

Every wildlife problem is different. Tell us what you're seeing or hearing and we'll recommend the right next step.
What it costs: complimentary inspections are available for some exclusion and repair projects. Otherwise we'll confirm the inspection fee with you before scheduling — not once we're standing in your driveway.
Homes that need a ladder over 28 ft, or a roof that isn't safe to walk, can carry an access surcharge — same rule, you'll hear about it before we come out rather than after. The repair and exclusion work is quoted once we've seen it.

Tell us what you're hearing and where. If we're on a roof, you'll get a text back as soon as we're down — you won't sit wondering.
One to three hours, depending on the size of the house and property and the nature of the work. We find every entry point and show you photos of what we found. You get a written estimate — on the spot when we can, within a day or two when the fix takes more figuring.
Wherever we can, the animal walks out on its own and we never touch it. Then we close the house up so it stays closed — that sealing work is called exclusion, and it's the half of the job that decides whether you ever have to call about it again.

Nuisance wildlife in and around the building envelope — attic, roofline, crawlspace, foundation.
Daytime scratching overhead, chewed soffit corners and gable vents. They leave on their own, then we close the opening for good.
Squirrels in the attic →Protected animals with a legal season attached. We're Bat Standards Certified, and our permit covers the work — including guano cleanup.
Bats in the attic →Heavy night movement and visible damage — a torn soffit, a pushed-in roof vent. Usually a mother with a litter, so timing matters.
Raccoons in the attic →Droppings along the walls, scratching inside them. We seal the building envelope first — otherwise you're just feeding a queue.
Rodent control →The part most companies skip — every way in found and closed in material that holds, and the damage that made the opening repaired properly.
How exclusion works →Once an animal has lived up there the insulation is contaminated, not dirty. We take it out under containment, sanitize the space and re-insulate.
Insulation & decontamination →Ridge guards, dig defense, critter barrier, gutter guards, drip edge, custom metal — most of it cut and bent for the opening it has to cover.
All eleven products →Nesting in a dryer vent, a snake in the living space, a burrow undermining a slab. We handle those too.
All wildlife services →Our own jobs, photographed as we worked.
How we work
Scratching above the bedroom ceiling at 2 a.m. Something moving in the wall. So you start calling around — and every company wants to talk about traps.
Here's what you should know: Virginia restricts what can be done with trapped wildlife — hauling an animal off and turning it loose somewhere else generally isn't allowed. That's one of the reasons we'd rather the animal simply walk out on its own.
And a trap doesn't fix your house anyway. The hole is still there. Next spring, something else moves in.
Here's how we'd rather do it. The less we handle an animal, the better the job goes. Handling is where people get bitten and where animals get hurt — so wherever the situation allows it, we set the job up so the animal leaves your house under its own power and we never touch it at all.
What that looks like depends on the animal and the season. Often it's a one-way door over the entry point, so it walks out to feed the way it does every night and can't get back in. Sometimes it's timing — waiting out a litter, or working around a season when the young can't yet fly. Sometimes it's simply closing every other opening and leaving one clear way out.
Then we seal it. Properly, with materials that hold — that's the part most companies skip, and it's the reason people call us after somebody else already "took care of it."
Hands-on removal is our last resort. Some situations require it, and when they do we'll tell you straight what the law requires and what we're going to do. But whenever an animal can walk out on its own, that's how it goes.

I do the inspection myself. I'll walk the roofline and the attic, show you photos of what I found, and explain what it's going to take to close it up.
When you call this number, you're talking to the person who'll be on your roof — not a call center, and not a salesman who hands you off to a crew you've never met. I stand behind the exclusion work.

Uses your browser's location once, only when you ask. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
Not if we can avoid it. Our default is to set the job up so the animal leaves on its own and we never handle it — safer for the animal, and safer for us. Virginia restricts what can be done with trapped wildlife, so if a situation truly requires hands-on removal, we'll explain exactly what the law allows before we start — not afterward.
One to three hours, depending on the size of the house and property and the nature of the work — attic, roofline, soffits, vents, crawlspace, foundation. We find every active and potential entry point, photograph what we find, and write your estimate, usually on the spot.
It depends on the job. Complimentary inspections are available for some exclusion and repair projects; otherwise there's an inspection fee, and we'll confirm it with you before anything is scheduled. Either way you get the same thing: a full walk-through inside and out, photographs of what we found, and a written estimate that's yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
Usually within a day or two. If something is loose inside your living space — a bat, a snake — say so when you call and we'll prioritize it.
We take calls and texts seven days a week. If we're up a ladder when you ring, you'll get a text back as soon as we're down — you won't be left wondering whether the message landed.
Not through the same hole. Eviction without sealing is why people end up calling twice. We seal, and all our work carries a 1-year warranty unless we've discussed otherwise. More on how exclusion works.
Yes — and most companies can't legally do it right. We're Bat Standards Certified through the National Wildlife Control Operators Association, and our Virginia nuisance-animal permit specifically authorizes bat work. That covers legal timing restrictions, exclusion, and guano cleanup. More on bat removal.
Wild Bunch LLC holds a Virginia Commercial Nuisance Animal Permit and is registered with the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Locally owned and operated out of Partlow.
Every week you wait is more chewing, more mess, and a bigger repair. Start the inspection whichever way suits you.
