Bennington Wildlife Animal Control
Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Bennington, VT
If you have a problem with wildlife in your Bennington home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Vermont wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Vermont and Bennington, and I recommend the following:
Eco Haven Pest Control
Cell Phone: 802-542-9188
NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Bennington County Animal Services: 802-442-1048
Eco Haven Pest Control specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Vermont also has a documented problem with
bats in buildings, and Eco Haven Pest Control is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the
property. Call 802-542-9188 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:
- Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
- Fully Vermont and Bennington County licensed and insured
- Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
- Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
- Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
- Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste
Eco Haven Pest Control is a full-service Bennington wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Bennington pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all
similar to wildlife removal. Eco Haven Pest Control performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All
animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and
cleanup is sometimes recommended.
Bennington wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Vermont to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement
is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know.
Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Vermont law. We offer Bennington raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.
Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Eco Haven Pest Control. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live
and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Bennington squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.
Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed.
Never, ever use poison! Most Bennington exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Bennington rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.
Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Vermont is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and
cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Bennington pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Bennington bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.
If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Bennington trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Bennington wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points
into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Eco Haven Pest Control does both.
The above are just some of the services offered by Eco Haven Pest Control. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc.
Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Eco Haven Pest Control
also provides dead animal removal in Bennington. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Bennington snake removal - most of the snakes in Vermont are not venomous, but
call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Bennington. And remember, we are a private business, not Bennington County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 802-442-1048.
Bennington County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Bennington Wildlife Tip #1:
Do Squirrels Prefer to Live in the Urban Area?
Despite the adorable look of the squirrel, people will call them attic wrecker, nuisance creature, birdseed thieves, and urban pest. For the city dwellers seeing the small creature running on the branches of the trees found in the park may look endearing. However, their fondness for city life also presents a lot of issues. Their ability to adapt to the urban setting increases the likelihood that they would invade our residential and commercial space.
How Did Squirrels Get into the City?
The introduction of squirrels in the urban areas began in the latter part of the 19th century wherein major cities all over the nations were implementing expansion in their green space. Urban parks in those days became a place of relaxation and pleasure. It also promotes healthy living by providing people access to different activities. And as the place becomes more popular, some people recommended the introduction of a ‘rural mascot' to create an ambiance that is enlightening and entertaining. It was in 1847 when only three squirrels have been released at Franklin Square in Philadelphia. At about 1870, the trend has been adopted in various cities in the US.
How Did Squirrels End Up as Urban Pest?
After the fad has worn off, the disadvantages that come with it have become more glaring. Eventually, squirrels have become a part of the pigeons and rats as nuisance creatures. In the park, people will generally leave them some treats. It has encouraged them to become bolder when in the presence of the human. They invaded human residence, which became a huge problem due to their incessant chewing habit. Remember that after the officials in the 19th century succeeded in integrating squirrels into the city, they also introduced different species in the park, like raccoons. Raccoon is known for occasionally hunting small rodents. Squirrels will move to human habitats since it provides them safety than being exposed in the green space. Furthermore, our home offers them warmth during the winter season.
How Can I Keep My Place Squirrel-Free?
If you live close to the park, then it may not be surprising for you to be visited by this animal from time to time. You may hear their scratching noise during the early morning, and it can sometimes be annoying. Squirrels love to move to the upper section of our houses, such as our chimney and attic. You may have to restrict their access on that part to keep them away. For instance, consider installing a chimney cap that will prevent them from building a nest on our chimney. You should also check your attic for any possible entry points and seal them. We don't recommend the use of wood materials when sealing the holes; you should look for something harder than its teeth like metal sheets.
Consider squirrel-proofing your birdseed feeders and trashcan since it can be a potential food source for these tiny creatures. You also need to trim the low-lying branches of the trees that are close to your roof to avoid dealing with a squirrel infestation.
