Ocean City Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Ocean City, MD

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

Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore
Cell Phone: 443-365-2942

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Worcester County Animal Services: (410) 723-6649



Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore 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 Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore 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 443-365-2942 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 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 Removal Eastern Shore is a full-service Ocean City wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Ocean City pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore 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.

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

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

    The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore. 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 Removal Eastern Shore also provides dead animal removal in Ocean City. 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 Ocean City 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 Ocean City. 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 (410) 723-6649. Worcester County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Ocean City Wildlife Tip #1:
    What kind of damage do rodents cause in the attic?

    The attic is a good storage to keep away the extra items that have cannot fit or are not needed in the house and other items that are needed seasonally. They include the extra furniture, holiday decorations, extra pots, pans and kitchen supplies, travel items like suitcases and travel bags, house moving boxes, packaging boxes, camping equipments, sports items, children toys, electric wire cables, leftover building materials like cement and tiles, musical instruments, old clothes, old clothes, old books, electric tools among many others. Basically anything you don't want to get wet, be exposed to elements in the open or is impervious to heat can be stored in the attic.

    1. Rodents are characterized by their gnawing behaviour which apparently helps them sharpen and make their teeth stronger. Thus, they will chew on anything they come across in the attic. They will chew on electric wires which may result in power problems and in extreme cases; the exposed electrical wires might cause fires.
    2. Chewing through thermal insulations will also result in heat disruptions especially during winter and summer seasons when the temperatures are too low and too high respectively. Thermal insulators regulate room temperature despite the outside temperature.
    3. As for the old clothes, old books and decorations, even electrical wires, rodents will chew and tear them apart to use in building their nests. Actually, they will use anything that can provide warmth when making their homes.
    4. Rodents defecate and urinate anywhere and every time. Within a short period of time, the accumulated droppings and urine making the attic and also the house to stink. In severe cases, these wastes may cause allergic reactions to some people and some pets like diarrhoea.
    5. They make holes in the roof by chewing through wood and eating eaves; and with no time you have a leak. This becomes a nightmare during the rainy season with water dripping on your furniture and the floor causing a lot of damage. Rodents chewing on wood generally weakens the roofing structure making it susceptible to being blown away by small winds or may even collapse.
    6. Staining in the attic is bound to happen at a particular time due to the fact that most rodents like rats excrete a grease-like compound within their fur and is left behind when they move around. Apart from the stains, the pheromone smell is pretty disgusting.
    7. Rodents also pose a health danger to both humans and other domestic animals. Their waste products may be carrying contagious disease- causing organisms like tapeworms, salmonella and other intestinal worms, such that they can be transmitted to humans and pets when we come in contact with these wastes.

    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.
