Fort Washington Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Fort Washington, MD

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

ACS Wildlife Removal
Cell Phone: 240-607-3967

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Prince George's County Animal Services: (301) 780-7201



ACS Wildlife Removal specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Maryland also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and ACS Wildlife Removal 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 240-607-3967 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 2020.

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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Maryland and Prince George's 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

  • ACS Wildlife Removal is a full-service Fort Washington wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Fort Washington pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. ACS Wildlife Removal 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.

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

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at ACS Wildlife Removal. 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 Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Maryland 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 Fort Washington pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Fort Washington 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. ACS Wildlife Removal does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by ACS Wildlife Removal. 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. ACS Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Fort Washington. 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 Fort Washington snake removal - most of the snakes in Maryland are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Fort Washington. And remember, we are a private business, not Prince George's County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (301) 780-7201. Prince George's County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Fort Washington Wildlife Tip #1:
    What To Do If You Have A Dead Animal In The Chimney?

    It is not common for homeowners to find a dead animal in the chimney, but it may happen in few circumstances. Sometimes, raccoons or bats get inside the chimney, but then they do not find a path to come out of this area. The chances of an animal getting stuck inside are more when the chimneys are made up of slick metal flues instead of bricks. Some homeowners also report the issues when wild animal come to their chimneys with their babies, and they are not able to move out. When these creatures fail to make proper arrangements for their survival inside, they usually die and start releasing a terrible odor from chimneys.

    If you are also facing the same trouble, removal of animal is probably the best decision to prevent the problems. The dead animal releases terrible odor in the area that cannot be tolerated by anyone; people often need an immediate solution to deal with such issues. Moreover, removal of the carcass is more important because of its ability to transfer harmful diseases in the area. While making efforts for its disposal, make sure you wear thick, protective gloves that can prevent you from diseases. It is important to avoid making any direct contact with the animal. Get an old bag and put the carcass carefully inside it; dispose it off at the far corner of the city where it can be firmly consumed be the predators.

    Once you are successful with the dead animal removal process, the next thing that you have to do is clean the area by using some effective solution. Note that, even when the animal is removed, the smell will remain as it in the area until you do not use any effective method for its removal. It is important to remove all the fluids released by the animal and use some spray in the area to get rid of the unwanted smell. The air freshener can work effectively to ensure removal of unwanted smell. Make efforts to provide proper ventilation to the affected chimney area so that fresh air circulation can deal with the smell effectively.

    In case if you are not able to deal with the situation and the dead animal in the chimney has made your survival difficult in the area; it is the right time to contact professional animal removal company. They know right tips and tricks to deal with the issue and can maintain proper cleaning in your premises by removing the dead body.

    Maryland Wildlife Information:

    Maryland State bird: Baltimore oriole
    State mammal: Thoroughbred, calico cat, Chesapeake Bay retriever
    State reptile: Diamondback terrapin
    State fish: Striped bass
    State insect: Baltimore checkerspot butterfly

    Maryland is one of the most diverse states in the country, and it is so unique in its variety of habitats, it has been dubbed "America in miniature". This nickname is due to the fact the state has sand dunes, sea grass, swamps with tall cypress trees, thick oak forests on rolling hills, and mountains covered in pine woods. Despite the multiple ecosystems that exist in Maryland, there are no natural lakes in the state. Glacial activity did not extend into Maryland, and no deep holes were present to hold massive volumes of water. There are numerous natural ponds, but mankind has been forced to make the now plentiful lakes in the state.

    Maryland is one of only a few states that have a population of wild horses. No horses in the United States are native; every herd is descended from stock brought over by explorers or settlers when the continent was first discovered. The horses in Maryland are contained on coastal islands. The horses are protected by law, and are allowed to roam free because of their historical relevance.

    Horses aren't the only large grazers that aren't native to Maryland. Sika deer were originally introduced to the state, and are now populous enough to warrant a hunting season. The largest native grazer is the American elk, followed by the white-tailed deer.

    Maryland doesn't just have large grazers, it also has large predators. Black bear are the most common large predators in the state, followed by coyotes in frequency of sightings. Wolves and mountain lions are much more reclusive but also share territory in the state.

    Maryland wouldn't be complete without a list of common animals. Anywhere in the region you can find skunks, raccoons, porcupines, foxes, opossums, voles, moles, woodchucks, fishers, nutria, ermine, and mink. There are also bats, snakes, and a host of amphibians.

    Being a coastal state, Maryland has an abundance of marine life, many of which are showcased in the Baltimore Aquarium. The list of marine wildlife includes sperm whales, beaked whales, dolphins, porpoises, humpback whales, and manatees. Of course, with a beach environment comes a large population of seagulls. Seagulls are one of the most problematic nuisance birds for business and homeowners along the coast. Their droppings are highly corrosive and can pose health risks for people.
