Summerville Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Summerville, SC

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

TruTech Wildlife Service
Cell Phone: 843-491-6458

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Dorchester County Animal Services: (843) 563-0015



TruTech Wildlife Service 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 TruTech Wildlife Service 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 843-491-6458 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 Dorchester 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

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

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

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

    The above are just some of the services offered by TruTech Wildlife Service. 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. TruTech Wildlife Service also provides dead animal removal in Summerville. 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 Summerville 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 Summerville. And remember, we are a private business, not Dorchester County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (843) 563-0015. Dorchester County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Summerville Wildlife Tip #1:
    How Do I Clean Bat Faeces Out Of My Attic?

    Guano or bat faeces or bat dung can be a huge problem where bats have resided for a very long time. Bat droppings seem to have a bad stench, so if the bat roosting was in your attic you are going to have a hard time. Guano causes a fatal breathing disorder called Histoplasmosis, which is caused by breathing micro-organisms of a fungus carried by the bat faeces. Cockroaches and other pests are easily attracted to Bat Guano, and through them the infestation spreads quicker. As if this is not danger enough, the bat faeces and urine corrodes the wood. If the guano is in a big amount chances of the ceiling collapse increases, as the wood is already erode on top the weight of the guano adds to it, eventually bringing down the ceiling.

    First of all seal out all the entryways of the bats while they are gone so that they are unable to return to your house. It is illegal or inhuman to harm the bats in any manner while removing them from the building. Though there are bat repellents available they are not found to be effective enough. Repellents like light repellent and sound repellent seems to work for a while, but soon the bats customise themselves to it and return. The bat exclusion method is the only way to permanently get them out of your house. After sealing the entry points successfully the next step is bat guano sanitization, removal and deodorization.

    It is very essential for you to be extra careful or have professionals to carry out the process. Professionals are suggested for this job as they are trained and specialized in dealing with hazardous waste materials.

    It is suggested to be wearing a disposable biohazard suit along with the booties, hood and rubber gloves. A full face HEPA air filter mask is most important of all.

    First step is to remove all the loose bat guano from the surfaces, using a vacuum that is meant to contain hazardous wastes. After this the remaining bat guano should be removed by the help of a shovel and sealed nicely in bags. All the remaining leftover guano should be vacuumed with a filter vacuum cleaner. The walls and surfaces should be carefully scrubbed with an enzyme-based cleaner in order to remove bat guano and urine marks. The final step to the bat exclusion is an atomizing mist machine; it produces a fog of enzyme-based hazardous waste cleaner. The fogging method ensures that cleanser spreads over the entire expanse; it will kill any remaining bat organic matter. This fog based cleanser also eradicates any pheromones which might attract pests.

    After following all these steps successfully you can be assured that the area is no longer going to cause any health related issues to its inhabitants.

    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.
