Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC is a full-service Christiansburg wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Christiansburg pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all
similar to wildlife removal. Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC 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.
Christiansburg wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Virginia 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 Virginia law. We offer Christiansburg raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.
Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC. 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 Christiansburg 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 Christiansburg 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 Christiansburg rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.
Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Virginia 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 Christiansburg pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Christiansburg 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 Christiansburg trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Christiansburg 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. Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC does both.
The above are just some of the services offered by Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC. 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. Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC
also provides dead animal removal in Christiansburg. 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 Christiansburg snake removal - most of the snakes in Virginia are not venomous, but
call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Christiansburg. And remember, we are a private business, not Montgomery County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 540-382-5795 ext. 2.
Montgomery County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Christiansburg Wildlife Tip #1:
Where do foxes live? Do more foxes live in urban areas, or wild areas?
A fox can be easily identified by its white chest, a bushy tail, and fur that is reddish brown. A fox has pointed nose and ears. Foxes are nocturnal animals. It means that they will be most active during the dusk and night times.
Foxes live in the form of families. The papa fox, the mama fox, and their cubs. Foxes are timid creatures. It is really hard to spot them. Their presence can be confirmed by observing their tracks and droppings.
What do foxes eat?
Foxes are usually scavenging animals. They will eat anything they find such as fruits, berries, insects, birds, earthworms, small animals and even the left-over scrapes by humans.
Measurements and weight
The fox measures around 65 cm from head to the whole body, whereas its tail measures 50 cm. The fox is 40cm in height, and its weight is around ten kgs.
Where are foxes found
Foxes live on every continent apart from Antarctica. Since foxes are very adaptive, therefore they can comfortably live and thrive in urban areas. Also, these foxes can be found in abundance in rural cities and small towns.
Fox's Home
The place where a fox life is called den. A den is a characteristic hole in the ground, patio, garden shed or porch. They keep themselves and their families secure in these dens.
Presence in Urban Areas
Since foxes make their dens in garden, sheds or porches of homeowners, therefore their presence is not unusual in urban areas. These places provide a cozy and comfortable living environment for foxes along with the abundance of food. This usually happens during the harsh winters, when you can find a fox's den in your backyard. You may also see little cubs inside these dens.
Presence in Wild
Apart from the urban areas, these foxes can also be found in the wild. They can be present in the lowest forest canopy since many foxes have the ability to climb. Also, they can find a safe sanctuary in logs, piles of rocks, underground burrows that are abandoned by other animals, the areas between the under the cliffs. These foxes can also be found in the hollows of trees in the wild.
Where are the foxes mostly found?
Foxes are shy, and their natural habitat is in the wild. But since the humans have been invading the areas that once belonged to forests, therefore these foxes are now abundant in urban settings. Foxes are not frightened of humans now, and they can be seen strolling around the human territory. Also, the urban areas provide them a haven and abundance of food.
Christiansburg Wildlife Tip #2:
Virginia Wildlife Information:
Virginia State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: Virginia big-eared bat
State fish: Brook trout, striped bass
State insect: Tiger swallowtail butterfly
Virginia is attached to the Chesapeake Bay, and because of this, it has a large coastal plain that extends inland, passing the bay's tributaries and eventually ending at the swelling of rocky foothills. Those foothills spread into the Blue Ridge Mountains, an extension of the Appalachian range. The state has an abundance of carbonated rock which has led to the creation of thousands of cave systems. Ten of those systems are currently open to the public, leaving about 3,990 on private land or currently uncharted. Along with the caves comes a variety of bat species, including the big brown bat, Brazilian free-tailed bat, eastern red bat, evening bat, gray bat, and the hoary bat, to name a few. Caves are the perfect habitat for these animals, which can either migrate or hibernate in the colder months. While Virginia is not prone to particularly harsh winters, the cave systems make a good, temperature-controlled place for hibernation.
Bats, though numerous, are only a small portion of the animal population in Virginia. The state has a number of predators including black bears, bobcats, cougars, and coyotes. This state doesn't have huge issues with the larger predators mainly because of how mountainous and wild the habitat has remained. The coastal plain is much more covered in people's homes, and this is where critters like squirrels and raccoons love to play. Because of the amount of trees in this state, it doesn't take long for a vertical-loving animal to find a way into a house. While raccoons and squirrels are definitely on the list of nuisance animals, they are among a score of others including woodchucks, skunks, porcupines, and opossums.
The state is also perfect for birds, and Virginia has a population of golden eagles, a large avian that tends to live in isolated settings across the globe. Not much research has been done on the golden eagle, and Virginia wildlife authorities hope they can study the growing population and shed some light on the species.
The fresh water feeding into the Chesapeake Bay provides a good ecosystem for amphibians and reptiles, and Virginia has a number of water-loving snakes including the cottonmouth and the common water snake. The state also has glass lizards, a snake-like creature, and the only limbless lizard in the United States.
