Leominster & Fitchburg Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Leominster & Fitchburg, MA

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Leominster & Fitchburg home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts and Leominster & Fitchburg, and I recommend the following:

Wildlife X Team
Cell Phone: 978-401-4853

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Worcester County Animal Services: (978) 353-2307



Wildlife X Team specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Massachusetts also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Wildlife X Team 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 978-401-4853 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 Massachusetts and Worcester 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

  • Wildlife X Team is a full-service Leominster & Fitchburg wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Leominster & Fitchburg pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife X Team 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.

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

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife X Team. 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 Leominster & Fitchburg 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 Leominster & Fitchburg 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 Leominster & Fitchburg rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Massachusetts 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 Leominster & Fitchburg pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Leominster & Fitchburg 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 Leominster & Fitchburg trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Leominster & Fitchburg 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 X Team does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife X Team. 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 X Team also provides dead animal removal in Leominster & Fitchburg. 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 Leominster & Fitchburg snake removal - most of the snakes in Massachusetts are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Leominster & Fitchburg. And remember, we are a private business, not Worcester County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (978) 353-2307. Worcester County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Leominster & Fitchburg Wildlife Tip #1:
    How To Inspect A House For Rat Entry Holes

    Dealing with a rat infestation is something that can be a difficult challenge for any home owner, so knowing how to look for the places where rats will be able to get in is very useful. If you are living in an area where rats are known to be a problem, then carrying out regular checks around your home looking for weak spots is a very wise precaution.

    How Large Are Rat Entry Holes?

    One of the most important things to remember when you are looking for potential rat entry holes is how flexible the rats can be, and both black rats and the larger Norway rats can actually squeeze through some very small gaps in masonry or wood to get in. Even a space as small as a quarter can become a rat entry hole, and once the rats have gained entry to a property they will often look for other weak spots which can be used to give them multiple entry and exit points.

    Examining The Exterior Of The Property

    One of the key areas that you will need to consider when you are examining the exterior of your home is that rats are most likely to be getting in through holes that are at ground level or along the roof line, so you will need to focus your attention on these areas. Broken vents are common weak points that rats can take advantage of, while wooden soffits that have softened or rotted with age can also be gnawed through by these pesky animals as they try to find their way into your home. Gaps around pipes or wires going into the home can also be used by the opportunistic animals.

    Looking Inside The House For Entry Holes

    While carrying out a thorough exterior check of the property is important, you can also look inside your home for signs that rats are getting in and out, and holes around the walls of your property are also worth investigating. Having a rat infestation in the attic can be a particular problem which is an important area to examine, as finding all of the holes is vital to successfully dealing with the infestation.

    Key Signs To Look For When Searching For Rat Entry Holes

    There are plenty of signs that can suggest that rats are using holes around your property as entry holes, and looking for feces and urine stains can be a good place to start. Rats also carry a 'grease', which leaves dark brown smudges on the walls and the material where the holes are located, so this can also be a key sign to identify.

    Leominster & Fitchburg Wildlife Tip #2:


    Massachusetts Wildlife Information:

    Massachusetts State bird: Black-capped chickadee, wild turkey
    State mammal: Right whale
    State reptile: Garter snake
    State fish: Cod
    State insect: 7-spotted ladybug

    Massachusetts is one of the smallest states, having only a little more than 10,000 square miles of land. This land was once heavily forested with both pine and hardwood trees, but early agriculture stripped the region almost completely bare of forest. Now, there are only a few groups of old woods, and most of the forested areas are secondary growth. Still, abandon farmland has reverted a little more than half of the state back to forest. The loss of trees chased many species out of Massachusetts, and some native animals, like elk, wolves, cougars, and wolverines, are considered extinct now in the state. The regrowth of trees has lured back in moose and black bear, two large animals that had also been missing since the deforestation.

    The young forest vegetation is fantastic for the proliferation of wild turkey, and there are flocks of the birds in most of the state from coastal plain to the edge of the Appalachian Mountains. Turkeys are considered a species of wild game and can be hunted during certain seasons. Incredibly acute hearing makes them difficult to sneak up on, and they can pinpoint a sound from hundreds of meters away. Their eyesight, however, is not particularly good.

    Life on the Atlantic coast means dealing with the marine animals that love the oceans. Massachusetts has several large bays that make up its coastline. In these bays, there are numerous seal species, whales, lobster, dolphins, and walruses. The marine animals are rarely nuisances, but seals and walruses have been known to bask near homeowner's docks. The real pests on the coastline are the seagulls. These birds have become bold, and when they aren't hunting in the sand for small crustaceans, they will steal food right out of people's hands.

    Anywhere in the state, at any time, there are numerous raccoons looking for places to steal food from or shelters to have a litter of babies. Raccoons usually leave the woods to have their young, and Massachusetts is no exception, especially because it is lacking old, wide, dead trees. If the female raccoon doesn't feel the forest is safe, she'll be looking for an attic. Other home invaders in the state are rats, squirrels, mice, skunks, and opossums. At any time, there might be a woodchuck or a wayward porcupine out in the yard.

    You can always call Wildlife X Team, any time of day, at 978-401-4853, for a price quote for Leominster & Fitchburg wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Leominster & Fitchburg, MA.
