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

ACS Wildlife Removal
Cell Phone: 240-607-3967

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Charles County Animal Services: 301-609-3425

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 Charles 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 St Charles wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular St Charles 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.

St Charles 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 St Charles 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 St Charles 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 St Charles 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 St Charles 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 St Charles pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is St Charles 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 St Charles trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a St Charles 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 St Charles. 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 St Charles 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 St Charles. And remember, we are a private business, not Charles County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 301-609-3425. Charles County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

St Charles Wildlife Tip #1:
Where do snakes live? Do more snakes live in urban areas, or wild areas?

Snakes are primarily considered as reptiles which stay in wild areas. This is the reason that wildlife explorers setup their camps in jungles to understand the habitat and lifestyle of snakes. But the next question that will strike in your mind would be why is it then snakes enter residential area? Snakes are adaptable and prefer an area which is warm and covered and thus they can be found in variety of habitats. There are few snakes which can't stay in residential area and escape as soon as they enter but there are few snake varieties which prefer to live in stable place that has shade to cover them. This post is to focus on places which can potentially be snake habitats.

Where do snakes stay?

Snakes can be found in both urban and wild areas. They are millions in kind and can be found on different continents on earth. Urbanisation has lead to deforestation which has led to increase in number of snakes in urban areas too. But as much as we humans fear snakes, they also fear humans (maybe they know what humans can do with their skin after killing them!) and thus find ways to hide to protect themselves. They are usually found in hidden places where humans can't locate them and thus they live in burrows of rodents, under the rocks, gravel, debris or sand. They can also live in tree joints, bushes, logs and roots of the trees! So this answers the question in title.

How do they decide their preferred habitat?

Their preferred habitat is the one which is safe and warm. Snakes are venomous, but they also have predators and thus they look for places where they can hide themselves. This is the reason that you can find them in bushes, under the tree roots and so on! Their phase of life when they shed skin and lay eggs are when they need ultimate protection and thus proper hiding places are must for them. If they are in wildlife area they prefer staying in mini caves or holes under the ground but if they are in residential area, then their common places to hide could be somewhere where they can find appropriate food and water but are not visible! Yes, you got it right- your green yard outside!

Which areas can have most of the snakes?

When it comes to urban areas, the snakes can be found in desert regions, in swampy areas near to the ocean, near to the farms and around barns because these areas have rodents and mice in abundance. If you stay in proper city, then the possibility of finding a snake there decreases because of hustle and bustle. But as the forest area is decreasing, they can be everywhere!

It might be difficult to avoid a snake as this is not something which is under your control but you can take safety and precautionary measures to keep your environment snake free!

St Charles Wildlife Tip #2:


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.
