If you have a problem with wildlife in your Chester home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in South Carolina 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 South Carolina and Chester, and I recommend the following:

TruTech Wildlife Service
Cell Phone: 803-250-3845

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Chester County Animal Services: (803) 385-6341

TruTech Wildlife Service specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. South Carolina also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and TruTech Wildlife Service 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 803-250-3845 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2023.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully South Carolina and Chester 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



TruTech Wildlife Service is a full-service Chester wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Chester pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. TruTech Wildlife Service 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.

Chester wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in South Carolina 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 South Carolina law. We offer Chester raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at TruTech Wildlife Service. 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 Chester 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 Chester 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 Chester rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. South Carolina 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 Chester pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Chester 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 Chester trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Chester 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. TruTech Wildlife Service does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by TruTech Wildlife Service. 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. TruTech Wildlife Service also provides dead animal removal in Chester. 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 Chester snake removal - most of the snakes in South Carolina are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Chester. And remember, we are a private business, not Chester County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (803) 385-6341. Chester County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Chester Wildlife Tip #1:
What Is The Best Material To Exclude Bats?

Bats are beautiful little creatures. But they belong to the wild and not in people's home. Bats also do not like to live in human homes. Their natural habitat is getting ruined due to constant cutting down of trees. Bats have no option but to find a place in your attic.

There are many ways to get rid of the bat. The best way to do is to call a professional bat removing company. In 2016, it will not take you more than 10 minutes to book a professional help. But if you are determined to do yourself, then here are some easy ways.

The best material to use for excluding bats is strong poly nylon net. You can spread the net in your attic. Some other common devices which are used for bat exclusion are window screen and funnels.

You need to put these devices on the area which has bats. This will not be difficult as you will bat poop near the place they are staying. The best time to put the bat exclusion devices are in night. In the dark you will be able to see all the wholes very clearly.

There are a couple of other things that you need to keep in mind when it comes to bat exclusion. Do not remove bat exclusion net after one night. You need to wait until 5 days to get rid of all the bats in the net. You must know that even though bats are the small animal they are very intelligent species. You cannot capture them very easily.

After taking off the net, you need to see how many bats are captured. If you think that you have captured all, then shut down all the holes in the attic. You also need to shut the holes in your attic at night. You will not be able to see all the holes in the day time.

Anyway, this process I just described may sound a very easy process, but it is not, you will be frustrated many times and it is possible that you may see that no bats are captured in the net or in funnel.

As I already said bats are hard to capture. They have a sense which helps them pick up the danger vibe. There is nothing called "the best material to exclude bats". If you know how to capture bats then you will be able to do it with a strong net. But if you cannot then in one month your house will be a bat sanctuary.

This is why homeowners need to not wait and call a professional bat removing service. It is easy and not that costly. Bats can be dangerous for young ones, so please don't wait.

Chester Wildlife Tip #2:


South Carolina Wildlife Information:

South Carolina State bird: Carolina wren, wild turkey
State mammal: White-tailed deer
State reptile: Loggerhead sea turtle
State amphibian: Spotted salamander
State fish: Striped bass
State insect: Carolina mantis

South Carolina is a coastal state, but its sandy shores extend much further inland than you might expect. Millions of years ago, the ocean coast was much different from what it is now, and the center of the state still shows evidence of ancient sand dunes from that time period. Despite the sandy soil, much of South Carolina has reverted back to forest, though the state is relatively flat except for a small patch of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the upper corner. South Carolina gets the best of both worlds-terrestrial and marine animals all in one state.

The marine animals seen by beach-goers are nothing short of amazing. South Carolina sees a number of different whale species. There are also dolphin pods, and porpoises that leap through the waves. Unfortunately, like any state along the coast, seagulls take full advantage of people on the sand, going so far as to steal food right out of people's hands. Not only do the gulls harass tourists, they create problems for local businesses and homeowners. The droppings from the birds are very corrosive.

Inland, the seagulls aren't so powerful. The animal ruling the territories in South Carolina is the alligator. Though not as densely populated as in some states, alligators are in much of the southern part of South Carolina, where the temperatures are more consistent. More widely distributed through the state are coyotes and black bears. There are also red wolves, grey wolves, and mountain lions in South Carolina.

White-tailed deer and wild hogs tend to be the most common grazers in this state. Many years ago, there were both herds of bison and of elk, but deforestation and hunting have made both species extinct to South Carolina. Any bison herds present are privately owned.

Nuisance animals live in South Carolina, just as they live in most other states. This region is ideal for pest critters like raccoons, skunks, opossums, rats, mice, and bats. Due to warmer temperature, bats can be particularly problematic because they do not need to migrate away from their roost if it is inside of a home.

South Carolina also has a number of snakes due to the warm, humid weather. Of the four venomous snakes in the United States, South Carolina has them all. There are cottonmouths, copperheads, coral snakes, and several species of rattlesnakes.
