Columbia didn't used to have a raccoon problem. Back before the 1980's, raccoons were rare in Columbia and lived in the more remote or undeveloped regions of South Carolina. But then they suddenly became more used to urban and suburban neighborhood settings, and are now found throughout
Columbia. While they are more urban animals, like rats or squirrels, we still regard them as special and talented animals, worthy of respect and humane treatment. We specialize in wild animals only, not pest insects, and we never use poison. We want to help you solve your
raccoon problem, but we don't want to kill these animals! Call us at 803-485-1221 to discuss your raccoon issue.
Most of the calls we receive are from homeowners who hear animals moving around in their attic or in the walls. It is rare for homeowners to actually see the animals or even notice any damage unless they go into the attic or take a close look at every nook and cranny of their house. Don't hesitate to call us if you hear animals scurrying, as wildlife can spread diseases to humans, such as histoplasmosis, leptospirosis, salmonella, and others. When we trap and remove critters like opossums or raccoons, we release them ten or more miles from the capture site to discourage them from returning. We always take a humane approach with wildlife control. This includes never using poisons and opting for live cage traps. It also means relying on prevention and exclusions whenever we can. Our company is fully licensed and insured, something we supplement with our commercial liability insurance that protects your property. When critters cause damage to your property, we can take care of it for you, from repairing torn ducts to fixing chewed electric wires. We are not exterminators nor your typical pest control company. In fact, we are not a pest control company at all. Instead, we are a wildlife removal company that is dedicated to handling mammals and reptiles.
