McCormick Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing McCormick, SC

If you have a problem with wildlife in your McCormick 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 McCormick, and I recommend the following:

PCA Wildlife, LLC
Cell Phone: 864-719-4188

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call McCormick County Animal Services: 864-465-2520



PCA Wildlife, LLC 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 PCA Wildlife, LLC 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:

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

  • PCA Wildlife, LLC is a full-service McCormick wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular McCormick pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. PCA Wildlife, 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.

    McCormick 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 McCormick raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at PCA Wildlife, 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 McCormick 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 McCormick 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 McCormick 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 McCormick pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is McCormick 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 McCormick trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a McCormick 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. PCA Wildlife, LLC does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by PCA Wildlife, 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. PCA Wildlife, LLC also provides dead animal removal in McCormick. 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 McCormick 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 McCormick. And remember, we are a private business, not McCormick County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 864-465-2520. McCormick County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    McCormick Wildlife Tip #1:
    Will A Bright Light Or High Pitched Sound Deterrent Machine Work On Bats?

    Bat repellents are being used by quite a number of people who are suffering from the existence of bats who make their dwellings in human residencies. "Bat repellents assist us in keeping away the bats from our homes so that it does not harm us or any of the family members including the children. Some of these repellents work in a temporary way, that is, to keep the bats out for some days or weeks, but some of these work permanently on them and they do not return back to the same dwelling again ever." These are some of the various lies told by various online retailers to sell their product and most people fall into their trap. Bats are mammals, just like me or you. There are various repellents for insects but if I put moth balls in front of your room, or stick a device which makes some weird noises, will you leave your room and run away by the fear of it? No, right? Because that's what animals do, if they find a suitable home, they are not going to abandon it and look for a new place to live in, because free space is hard to find these days and when they find a good home, they make it their own. These devices or tricks simply does not work. A couple of these gimmicks are using a bright light or a high pitched sound which are analysed below.

    Theoretically speaking, bright lights would normally work in keeping the bats away and they are effective when placed near the entry points of the bats dwellings. There are a couple problems regarding this so called repellent, though. Firstly, it's a rare case scenario where this works because bats get in quickly in your homes by avoiding the lights and then they will move to the dark corners and the second difficulty in using this deterrent is that those bright lights attract other types of insects and pests like mosquitoes which serve as a primary diet for the bats and if you use these then it would act like one of the double edged swords and then you will miss the bats as they generally eat around a thousand mosquitoes hourly.

    Then the second one of these deterrents are the high pitched sound producing devices which many people have tried to use. At the start it would look like that these devices are truly working but in some time, you will find out the hard fact that the bats are immune to these noises created by the ultrasonic noise emitters and have literally no effect on the bats.

    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 PCA Wildlife, LLC, any time of day, at 864-719-4188, for a price quote for McCormick wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in McCormick, SC.
