If you have a problem with wildlife in your Laurens 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 Laurens, and I recommend the following:
NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Laurens County Animal Services: (864) 984-2523
Wildlife Pest Control Greenville 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 Wildlife Pest Control Greenville 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 864-719-4188 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:
Wildlife Pest Control Greenville is a full-service Laurens wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Laurens pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all
similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Pest Control Greenville 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.
Laurens 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 Laurens raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.
Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Pest Control Greenville. 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 Laurens 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 Laurens 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 Laurens 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 Laurens pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Laurens 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 Laurens trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Laurens 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. Wildlife Pest Control Greenville does both.
The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Pest Control Greenville. 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. Wildlife Pest Control Greenville
also provides dead animal removal in Laurens. 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 Laurens 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 Laurens. And remember, we are a private business, not Laurens County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (864) 984-2523.
Laurens County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.
Every wildlife removal situation is different, from the species of animals involved, the location of the animal inside a house or outside, the extent of repairs or cleanup, etc. It's impossible to give one-size-fits-all prices. Examples MIGHT include:
Small Job: For example, a one-stop job to remove an animal in the yard: $100 on up
Medium Job: For example, getting critters out of your house with minor repairs: $300 on up
Large Job: For example, a project involving many service trips and complex work: $500 on up
Give us a phone call now and tell us about your wildlife issue and we will be able to give you a price estimate over the phone. If you're cool with it, we can schedule a same-day or next-day appointment if you like. Our prices are fair, and a good value because we do the job right, the first time.
Laurens Wildlife Tip #1:
What If A Bat Got Inside My House, Bedroom, And Kitchen?
You can find a bat in places like the living area of the house, bedroom or kitchen and you must know how to keep them out. If the bat is inside the living area try to take them near the places where there are door and windows and open them, chances are they will get out themselves. If it doesn't fly out you should wait till it lands somewhere and nor flying. You can also put a piece of cloth or towel on it and take it out of the house and leave it. The other thing you can do is cover it with a plastic container and then place a cardboard between the mouth of the container and the wall or floor and then leave it outside the house. Don't try to catch a bat while it's flying as it may harm it or it may also attack you. The best thing to do is to call a professional and get rid of the bat.
If the bat is inside the bedroom
There are chances that you can come across a situation when you meet a bat in your bedroom. The first thing to do is close the door and open the windows of the room. You can also need to dim the lights and then let the bat move out and find the way outside your house itself. If you are unsure if the bat has left or not, you should search it in places like the ceiling of the room. Behind the frames or curtains or low-level areas as it might have injured itself while trying to get out. If the bats are often entering the room or house there may be a chance of the roosting of bats inside or house. Generally, they enter while preying on insects through the open doors and windows.
If the bat is in the kitchen
Bats absolutely don't like the lights and sounds so if you find a bat in your kitchen during the day time it may have entered to rest and will leave as soon as you make noises. The best way to exclude bats from your house or kitchen or bedroom is to call for a professional and evict them. Till they arrive you can place it in a container and poke a small hole for the ventilation. Don't try to catch the bat with bare hands as it may attack you, place a cloth on it and drape it and then you can put it inside the container. Bats are pests and carry rabies so coming in contact with them can cause you infection.
Laurens 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.
You can always call Wildlife Pest Control Greenville, any time of day, at 864-719-4188, for a price quote for Laurens wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Laurens, SC.
