Types of Knoxville Wildlife & Critter Control

Animals seek what they need to survive—food, water, and shelter—and they’ll instinctively find places that provide those key elements. Here are several species you may find in your Knoxville home.

This creature may seem harmless outside, but they can quickly become a real nuisance once they get into your home. They gnaw on electrical wires and build nests throughout the house. Squirrels can also carry unwanted diseases, bring fleas into your home, and wreak other kinds of havoc.

Outside, the adaptable raccoon might feed from your trash cans and damage gardens and landscaping. Once they get inside, they can damage the home's structure as well as pose health risks. Raccoons carry fleas, roundworms, and other parasites and can have rabies. 

Bats seek out high places like attics, chimneys, and porch ceilings; when they’re moving about, you might hear scratching or squeaking sounds. Otherwise, they’re usually pretty quiet. You can tell where they’ve been, though, because they leave behind large droppings that can cause home damage as they leak through drywall, harm ceilings, and ruin insulation. They can also trigger serious health issues.

Coming across snakes in or around your home can be unpleasant, but most species are harmless. Just in case: to ensure your safety, have our expert wildlife removal technicians remove them.

Possums can create havoc in attics. They climb well and, once they get inside, they leave behind large droppings that may contain parasites and pathogens. They’ll get into your garbage, steal pet food, and may even harass your pets.

Birdwatching is a wonderful hobby—as long as the songsters stay outside. Once they get inside, though, you’ll need to address the situation quickly. We use Bird B Gone, which includes netting, repellents, and other bird control products.

These rodents only need a tiny opening the size of a nickel to a quarter to access your home, and they often take advantage of those extremely small openings. Mice and roof rats pose health risks and can damage your home.

HOW IT WORKS

Critter Control & Wildlife Removal in Knoxville

Don’t try to DIY. Instead, promptly contact Waynes Pest Control in Knoxville, TN if you need wildlife animal removal services.

Each of these critters can behave in unpredictable ways and, as you invade their space, they can bite and otherwise lash out in aggressive manners. Some wild animals even carry rabies, which—if untreated—can be fatal. And, here’s another reason why you want to reach out to us for professional Knoxville wildlife removal: there are legal issues that surround wildlife control and removal.

Trained technicians from Waynes Pest Control will inspect your home for wildlife presence, using the latest technologies. Through this process, they’ll find where creatures are hiding, feeding, and breeding. We’ll electronically monitor these areas as well as create a customized wildlife control plan that allows us to remove them safely from your home.

After successful wildlife removal in Knoxville, our animal control specialists will move on to the next step: exclusion. At this point, we’re focusing on keeping these critters from reentering your home through places like these: 

  • soffits and fascia
  • roof vents and eaves
  • gaps and cracks
  • attic vents
  •  windows and doors
  • garage doors
  • trees and overhanging branches
  • foundation vents
  • plumbing and utility openings
  • crawl spaces
  • chimneys

After a thorough search for potential entry points into your home, our team seals them up to prevent wildlife from getting back inside your house. This one-two process then serves as a long-term answer to any type of critter infestation.

WAYNES TIPS & TRICKS

Preventing Wildlife in Your Home: DIY Tips

Although we don’t recommend removing wildlife, DIY, there are plenty of strategies that you can use to help keep the critters in the wild and out of your home. They include to:

  • Firmly close garbage can lids, placing the cans a ways from your home.
  • Keep food in airtight containers.
  • Check your roof regularly for any damage; promptly make repairs if you find some. Also close gaps on the roof where wildlife could get inside.
  • Maintain your fence well, and make sure no entry points exist. 
  • Ensure that your crawl spaces and attic are dry, clean, and well-ventilated.
  • Clean up leftover food outside, including for your pets.
  • Caulk around windows, including basement ones.
  • Maintain your yard well, keeping it free from weeds and debris.
  • Keep exhaust fan and vent openings covered.
  • Trim tree limbs six to eight away from the roofline.
  • Store firewood twenty feet or more from the house.
