Winston Salem Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Winston Salem, NC

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Winston Salem home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in North 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 North Carolina and Winston Salem, and I recommend the following:

PCA Wildlife, LLC
Cell Phone: 336-303-4150

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Forsyth County Animal Services: (336) 767-6293



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. North 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 336-303-4150 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 North Carolina and Forsyth 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 Winston Salem wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Winston Salem 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.

    Winston Salem wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in North 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 North Carolina law. We offer Winston Salem 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 Winston Salem 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 Winston Salem 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 Winston Salem rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. North 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 Winston Salem pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Winston Salem 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 Winston Salem trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Winston Salem 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 Winston Salem. 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 Winston Salem snake removal - most of the snakes in North Carolina are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Winston Salem. And remember, we are a private business, not Forsyth County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (336) 767-6293. Forsyth County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Winston Salem Wildlife Tip #1:
    Get raccoons out of the attic - Attics are favorite retreats for a raccoon. You generally won't find more than one adult unless it is during a particularly harsh winter. Most of the time, the raccoon in your attic is a mother raccoon, and she had a litter of kits stashed away somewhere in the space. If you can do so when the mother is out feeding, try to find the babies and remove them. This will make trapping the mother easier. If you're feeling brave, you can try to use the babies to lure the mother into a cage trap. This isn't something that can just be left to happen over the course of a few days. If you're using the kits, make sure you keep a close eye on them and don't leave them exposed to the outside for too long. Sometimes it's not possible to remove the babies before the mother. If she is still inside the attic, you can try to rig your cage trap to the entry hole so when you care her from the inside she'll inadvertently leap into the trap. This doesn't always happen, either, and some mothers will become aggressive and defend their babies. Raccoons in this situation are often snared with a long pole and gently steered into a cage trap.

    Winston Salem Wildlife Tip #2:
    What Damage Can Wild animals Do To An House - The wild animal is a creature that will naturally look to live in holes and burrows under the ground, and these activities can often cause damage when they are found in areas near to domestic homes. Wild animals will normally look for holes that are already there, and will then look to expand it by digging more earth from the hole to suit it's own needs. This is one area where an wild animal can cause a massive problem for people and particularly to the house near which the wild animal is digging, and in some cases the animal can actually cause damage to the walls as it is digging. Although it is rare, there are also some cases where the wild animal is digging very close to the wall or the foundation of a house where it can actually affect the structural integrity of the property. Equally, it is also possible for the wild animal to cause damage where it is digging under a deck or a shed where this can undermine those structures too. The best thing if you do have an wild animal near the property is to trap it and have it removed as soon as possible, and then to ensure that any damage is repaired.

    North Carolina Wildlife Information:

    North Carolina State bird: Northern cardinal
    State mammal: Gray squirrel
    State reptile: Eastern box turtle
    State fish: Channel bass
    State insect: European honeybee

    Few states have as nice of a geological flow as North Carolina. This state is divided almost into equal sections, making up three distinct habitat zones. The first zone, known as the coastal plain, starts with the sandy beaches by the Atlantic Ocean and heads inland through flat fields of tall grass. Eventually the land begins to rise upward, giving way to the central section of gentle foothills and thicker forests. The Appalachian Mountains make up the final, most inland section of the state. Here, the weather can be slightly cooler, though North Carolina is considered to have a consistently warm climate.

    At the coast, beach-goers and business owners have to do daily battle with the scores of bold seagulls. These birds are fearless when it comes to people and pets, and they are so brazen they will often take food right away from people on the sand. Not only are the seagulls thieves, they eventually expel their waste all over the beach, sidewalks, and sea-side businesses. Other creature issues in the sand are related to jellyfish, which wash up on shore daily. These aquatic animals can sting even in death, and many an unwary, barefoot soul has stepped on the gelatinous pile and gotten stung.

    North Carolina has a range of coastal islands called the Outer Banks. These islands are home to the Banker horse, a small, stocky animal with bloodlines originating form Spanish horses brought over with the explorers. These horses are protected because of their historical import, and they are allowed to roam free on the islands, walking across roadways and grazing in people's front yards. The wildlife agencies that oversee the horse population make sure they are free of infectious disease.

    Large predators in the state stay mainly in the foothills and the mountains. These include coyotes and black bear. While shy, black bear have been known to destroy birdfeeders due to their love of birdseed. They will also take advantage of an unprotected garbage bin. Unlike coyotes, black bear will move on once the food supply has vanished. Coyotes, if in an urban setting, can be a threat to children and pets.

    North Carolina also has a familiar list of nuisance animals such as the raccoon, opossum, skunk, woodchuck, porcupine, beaver, squirrel, rat, bat, and snake.

    You can always call PCA Wildlife, LLC, any time of day, at 336-303-4150, for a price quote for Winston Salem wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Winston Salem, NC.
