Branscomb's mix of structures and nearby green space gives raccoons, squirrels, and other wildlife easy access to attics and outbuildings. Wood-frame homes dominate here, many older and prone to moisture issues given the region's heavy year-round rainfall. The entry point that let them in is usually the same one that needs sealing after removal.
We start by identifying the species and locating every entry and exit point being used, since sealing an active den without removing the occupant first can trap the animal inside. Depending on the species and situation, we use humane one-way exclusion devices that let the animal leave but not return, then seal the entry point permanently once it's confirmed clear.
