Knoxville Wildlife Removal

When wildlife gets into your home or property, you need it handled fast — and handled right. Wills Wildlife Control is Knoxville's trusted source for professional, humane wildlife removal. We're TWRA licensed, locally operated, and experienced with every animal species common to East Tennessee. Whether it's raccoons in your attic, bats behind your siding, or a skunk under your deck, we remove the animal, seal the entry, and make sure it doesn't come back.

Wildlife We Remove in Knoxville

Knoxville's mix of urban neighborhoods and surrounding woodland means homeowners deal with a wide variety of nuisance wildlife. We handle all of them:

• Raccoons — One of the most common and destructive attic invaders in East Tennessee. Raccoons tear through insulation, contaminate spaces with waste, and can carry rabies and roundworm. We trap, remove, and seal every entry point.
• Squirrels — Squirrels chew constantly — wiring, wood, PVC pipe. An attic infestation is a fire hazard. We remove them humanely and close the gaps they used to get in.
• Bats — Protected under Tennessee law, bats require a specific exclusion process with seasonal restrictions. We're NWCOA Bat Standards certified and fully compliant with TWRA regulations.
• Skunks — Skunks den under decks, porches, and HVAC units. A spray event in an enclosed space is a serious problem. We trap and relocate without triggering a discharge.
• Opossums — Opossums nesting in crawl spaces or attics bring fleas, ticks, and serious odor issues. We remove them and secure the structure against re-entry.
• Foxes & Coyotes — Both are increasingly common in Knoxville's suburban areas and pose a threat to small pets and livestock. We assess the situation and remove them safely.
• Moles & Groundhogs — Burrowing animals that undermine lawns, gardens, and foundations. We locate active tunnels and burrows and remove the animals before structural damage compounds.
• Beavers, Otters & Muskrats — Aquatic nuisance animals that damage waterways, drainage systems, and pond banks across East Tennessee properties.

Our Removal Process

Every job follows the same structured approach, because cutting corners is how animals end up back inside your home:

• Inspection — We walk the property thoroughly, identify the species, locate all active entry points, and assess any damage. This is always free.
• Removal — Using humane trapping and exclusion methods appropriate to the species, we remove the animal in compliance with TWRA regulations. No shortcuts, no poisons.
• Exclusion — Every confirmed and potential entry point is sealed with professional-grade materials. This is what separates a permanent fix from a temporary one.
• Follow-up — We check traps, confirm the animal is gone, and make sure the exclusion is holding. You don't pay for a half-finished job.
