"We live right across from a small park in our subdivision. ? Having critters decide to dig under our brick porch and?take up residence in the crawlspace is not an unusual occurence. ?You can take them away and there will always be more to take their place. This is the third time in five years we have needed Doug's help in removing the last intruders. Doug came out and set two live traps, one in the front of the house and a second in the back. ?The next morning, success! ?An opossum in the front trap and a young male raccoon in the back trap. ?He left traps in place for another five days and there were no other animals captured. The holes were filled with wire and concrete. ?Critters will have to find other places to dig next year!"

"This is one great company and Josh was absolutely amazing ! He asked a lot of questions and very polite , professional , respectful , always calling and letting us know what time he was coming . Knowledgeable about the Flying Squirrel ð ¿ï¸ problem we had and not in a big rush to get in and out . He has all the equipment and knowledge to do the repairs. Was a little nervous about the initial charge but all the work he performed far surpassed the cost ð ² If you have pest problems this is the very best company out there. Donâ t waste your time and money on another company that is just going to overcharge you ! I wish I had called him sooner ? I wasted a lot of time trying to solve the problem myself ? Not worth it ð ¤·ð »â â ï¸ ð ¤¦ð »â â ï¸ You will thank me after you have used him ! I believe he is a Christian also ! He is extremely honest . I will definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs help ! God Bless your precious family and you Josh for all your hard work and help ð â ¤ï¸"

"We had a roofing company come and patch the hole. The gentleman came though and crawled in the attic and looked to see if the squirrel was there and he saw no evidence. He was very helpful and didnâ t charge us. He also recommended someone to help with our groundhog problem. I will call him again if I ever need him."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Knoxville, TN

Bats slip through gaps as small as 1/4 inch, so your best defense is a thorough seal-up and a few simple habit tweaks. Start by caulking or screening every crack around chimneys, eaves, and vents. Swap dim porch bulbs for brighter LEDs or motion lights (bats dislike the glare), and consider an ultrasonic deterrent if they keep circling. 

Finally, remove easy snacks—cover standing water and skip the nighttime bird-feeder refills. These steps go a long way toward keeping your home bat-free.

Standard homeowners’ insurance rarely pays for bat removal because insurers view it as routine maintenance. You might get partial help for guano cleanup or related repairs, but that varies by policy. Review your insurance policy carefully and contact your provider for a definitive explanation. Securing all entry points remains the homeowner’s responsibility to prevent future incursions.

The sweet spot for bat exclusion is late summer through spring. That window keeps you inside most state rules and protects baby bats that haven’t learned to fly yet. Removal activities are conducted when bats are less active, with some states permitting work from August through May and others ceasing removal in March. Consult a qualified bat removal specialist to confirm the valid timeframe for your area.

Spotting a dead bat can be unsettling, but a calm, careful approach keeps everyone safe. First, call your state wildlife office to report the find and ask about local rules. Snap a quick photo from a distance, then—wearing disposable gloves—place the bat in a sealed plastic bag for disposal as directed. 

Wipe down nearby surfaces with disinfectant, wash your hands thoroughly, and schedule a pest-control pro to make sure no live bats (or harmful guano) remain hidden in the house.
