Southern Maine’s wooded areas and suburban neighborhoods attract various nuisance wildlife. These animals damage property or pose safety hazards. They often seek shelter in attics, crawl spaces, yards, or garages. Here are the most common ones we address:

• Porcupines: These quilled rodents chew on wood, wiring, and trees. They cause structural damage and fire risks. My humane trapping methods remove them safely. We seal entry points to prevent returns.
• Woodchucks (Groundhogs): Known for burrowing under foundations, decks, and gardens. They undermine structures and ruin landscaping. I use live traps and exclusion techniques to catch them humanely without harming your property.
• Squirrels: Gray, red or flying squirrels often nest in attics or chimneys. They chew insulation and wires. They can carry fleas or ticks. I employ safe trapping, eviction, and sealing to resolve infestations quickly.
• Raccoons: Intelligent and dexterous, raccoons raid trash, attics, and chimneys. They spread diseases like rabies or leptospirosis. I use one-way doors, live traps, and cleanup services for humane removal and sanitation.
• Skunks: Famous for their odor, skunks dig under porches or sheds. They can spray pets or people. They carry rabies. Count on me for humane trapping and relocation, including odor control if needed.
• Chipmunks: Small but destructive, chipmunks burrow near foundations and eat gardens. They lead to erosion or attract predators. My baited traps and exclusion methods keep them out effectively.

I handle these animals humanely, complying with Maine wildlife laws for relocation where possible.
