Heavy thumping in the attic at dusk is usually a raccoon, while lighter scurrying at dawn and dusk often points to squirrels — our technicians identify the species before choosing a removal method. Berkeley wildlife calls spike seasonally as animals seek denning sites for winter or safe spaces to raise spring litters, which shapes how urgently we schedule each case.
We trace scratching, droppings, and damage back to the actual entry gap before recommending trapping or exclusion.


Every technician handling Berkeley wildlife calls carries state wildlife control licensing and liability coverage.
We keep same-day slots open for active wildlife situations, especially where an animal may be trapped inside a structure.
You'll see the full cost of removal and exclusion work before we start, no surprise add-ons afterward.
Our exclusion materials include heavy-gauge hardware cloth and sealant rated for permanent structural gaps.
Raccoons often den in attics and chimneys to raise young, so removal timing accounts for dependent litters before exclusion begins.
Squirrels typically enter through roofline gaps and soffit damage, which we identify and seal after removal.
We seal deck and crawl space gaps after removal to prevent repeat denning by opossums or other wildlife.
We install one-way bat valves that let the colony exit at dusk to feed but prevent re-entry.
Wildlife damage repair covers soffit, vent screening, and insulation affected by nesting activity.
Berkeley property managers get scheduled wildlife inspections across multiple units with documented reports.

Tell dispatch whether it's attic thumping, chimney noise, or under-deck activity so the right equipment gets loaded.
A technician arrives with humane traps and exclusion materials suited to the suspected species.
Inspection includes checking for dependent young before finalizing a removal and exclusion timeline.
Guarantee coverage means new activity from the same entry point within the window gets addressed at no charge.
The one-way door approach meant we didn't have to worry about the squirrel getting back in after it left to forage.
Appreciated that they explained the regulations around bat removal instead of just doing whatever was fastest.
Having documented reports for each building helped us track which units needed exclusion repairs.
Squirrels had chewed through soffit venting on two sides of the roof before we noticed, and the exclusion repair matched the original material well.

Heavy thumping usually means raccoons, while lighter scurrying at dawn and dusk points to squirrels — a technician can confirm on inspection.
Trapping removes the current animal, but permanent gap sealing is what actually stops repeat activity.
Bat exclusion is scheduled around legal timing windows, which we'll explain based on the species and season.
Humane methods are standard for all wildlife removal, in line with state wildlife handling regulations.
We check for dependent young before finalizing removal timing, since separating a litter from a parent isn't humane or often legal.
Yes, we offer damage repair for chewed wiring, insulation, and entry-point structural issues after removal.
