Raccoon climbing a tree near a home in Knoxville Tennessee

Raccoon

Raccoons tear through soffits, nest in attics, and contaminate insulation with waste. Left unchecked, they cause thousands in structural damage and always come back without proper exclusion.

Gray squirrel on a fence near a home in Knoxville Tennessee

Squirrel

Squirrels chew through electrical wiring and create a real fire hazard. They can raise multiple litters a year inside your attic, and early removal prevents the kind of damage that turns a minor nuisance into a major repair bill.

Coyotes are bold predators that will take small dogs and cats, even in suburban neighborhoods. If you're seeing them near your property or losing pets, it's time to call in a professional.

Opossum

Opossums carry fleas, ticks, and parasites, and commonly die under porches or in crawl spaces, creating serious odor and sanitation problems. We remove them safely and clean up what they leave behind.

Groundhog burrows run deep under foundations, decks, and sheds, causing serious structural damage over time. If you're seeing collapsed ground or large burrow openings, don't wait to have it addressed.

Bats are federally protected, which means removal must be done legally during the right time of year by a certified specialist. We're NWCOA Bat Standards certified, so the job is done right, legally, and permanently.

Skunk in grass near a residential property in East Tennessee

Skunk

A skunk denning under your deck or shed isn't just an odor problem. It's a spray risk every time you go outside. We remove them without triggering a spray and seal the area so they can't return.

Otter

Otters can empty a stocked pond in a matter of days and cause significant bank erosion along waterways. If you're managing a pond or waterfront property and seeing the signs, we offer humane removal before the damage compounds.
