Wildlife removal in King George.
King George is rural, wooded and sits between two rivers, which makes crawlspaces and outbuildings at least as much of our work here as attics are.

What we run into in King George
King George County runs between the Rappahannock and the Potomac, and it's still largely wooded and rural — houses on acreage with tree line on two or three sides, plus the Dahlgren end of the county at the eastern edge.
The building detail that defines the work here is the crawlspace. A lot of houses in the county sit over a crawlspace or on piers rather than a slab, and a crawlspace is the single most under-inspected part of any house. It's dark, nobody goes in it, and it will happily support a rodent population for a year without anyone upstairs hearing a thing.
Where there are rodents there are usually snakes, because that's what a snake is following. Most of what turns up around a Virginia house is non-venomous, and dealing with the rodents and the gaps is what deals with the snakes too.
- Crawlspace and pier construction rather than slab on much of the county's housing
- Wooded acreage with tree line close to the building on multiple sides
- River-corridor properties along the Rappahannock and Potomac
- Snake calls that are really rodent calls — the snake is following the food
- Detached garages, workshops and outbuildings on most parcels
King George call-outs
What we get called for here.
Mice & rat control
The crawlspace is where this county's rodent problems live, and it's the part of the house nobody inspects. We seal the envelope first.
Mice and rats →Squirrel removal
Wooded lots with canopy onto the roof. Entry at soffit corners, gable vents and roof returns.
Squirrels in the attic →Raccoon removal
Wooded acreage means good raccoon habitat, and an attic beats every hollow tree on the property.
Raccoons in the attic →Wildlife exclusion & repairs
Crawlspace vents, access doors, sill plates and utility penetrations sealed properly — not foamed.
How exclusion works →Where we cover around King George
King George runs east of us along the Route 3 corridor, including Dahlgren at the far end of the county, and on into the Northern Neck.

King George questions we get asked
There's a snake in my crawlspace.
Then there is almost certainly something for it to eat down there. Most snakes found around a Virginia house are non-venomous, and they're present because rodents are. Dealing with the rodents and sealing the gaps is what deals with the snakes — otherwise they simply come back.
Is a crawlspace really worth inspecting?
It's the most under-inspected part of most houses in this county, and it will support a rodent population for a very long time without anyone upstairs hearing anything. Our inspection covers it as standard — crawlspace, sill plate, vents, access door and utility penetrations.
Do you cover Dahlgren?
Yes — 22448 as well as King George's 22485, plus Colonial Beach and Montross further out. The whole eastern run down the Northern Neck.
Something is loose in the house right now.
Call and say so — we prioritize that. Shut the door to that room, open an exterior door or window if it's safe to, and don't try to corner it.
