Attics, soffits, chimneys, and crawl spaces on Anacortes properties offer wildlife exactly what they need: shelter from weather and predators. A mix of older wood-frame homes and newer suburban construction, many without air conditioning given the historically mild summers, and prone to moisture issues given the rain. Once an animal establishes a den, especially with young, removal requires a careful, humane approach rather than simply sealing them in.
Our process begins with an inspection to confirm the species — raccoon, squirrel, bat, or bird all require different handling — and to check for young that would need to be accounted for before exclusion. Humane one-way devices are the standard approach, followed by permanent sealing of the entry point once the space is confirmed empty.
