Many of North Carolina's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving North Carolina's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:

  • Humane wildlife trapping and relocation services
  • Removal of raccoons or squirrels from the attic
  • Building repairs and prevention work to keep animals out
  • 100% permanent elimination of rats, mice, or even bats
  • Cleanup of animal waste and odor control services
  • Emergency animal issues, and dead animal removal

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Lee county animal services for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Sanford animal control for wildlife issues.

Sanford Wildlife Removal Tip: What Do Raccoons Eat?

You have probably seen raccoons around your neighborhood or maybe even near your business. While nocturnal creatures who hunt and forage at night, they make their presence known in many ways. In fact, it is not uncommon for you to find a raccoon rummaging through your garbage or eating food out of your garden. They are little scoundrels for sure.

What is interesting about the raccoon is that it is a natural omnivore. What this means is that it will eat virtually anything. If it can get to it, it will eat it, including such things as vegetables, meat, candy, and virtually about any trash you may have in your garbage. If you have made dinner and thrown away the leftovers, even if they are in the trashcan for four or five days, don't be surprised if a raccoon would turn that into its next meal.

Like an Iron Stomach

What makes it so that raccoons are able to eat just about anything is that they have quite a resilient stomach. This makes it so that they could eat just about anything, and we mean just about anything.

What Is Their Favorite?

While a raccoon will eat anything, there are preferred choices. Because the vast majority of raccoons live in rural, forest, or on the outskirts of suburban areas, it is quite common to see them eating such things as seeds, acorns, and berries. However, they will eat most edible forms of plant life, including lettuce, fruits, and leaves.

Because of their willingness to eat vegetables, your garden presents itself as the ultimate vegan buffet to a raccoon. They will love eating such things as carrots, celery, cabbage, pumpkins, melons, or any other fruit or vegetable within your garden.

Don't think that a raccoon is averse to eating meat, however. Many raccoons will eat grubs, bugs, lizards, even frogs. If hungry enough, they will eat most small amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, including mice and rats. Some raccoons have even hunted for fish in rivers and near lakes. They clearly are animals that will eat just about anything.

When Nothing Is Available

If a shortage of food is present, raccoons will forage far outside their comfort zone to find food. This is why it is not uncommon to find them in dumpsters and garbage cans. These animals will even try to get in people's homes or businesses to find food.

They will rummage through trash and eat just about everything. While it may make you sick to eat what is in your garbage can, the stomach of a raccoon is not bothered by it all. These animals can truly eat just about anything.

If you are having an issue with a raccoon on your property or trying to get into your home, this is a good warning sign to you about what you need to do to keep them away. If you have a trashcan or dumpster outside, it should be securely fastened so that the animal cannot get into it. Otherwise, it will be making a nightly trip to your refuse container.

What Prices Do We Charge?
Every job is different: the type of animals involved, is it in the attic or the yard, do you need repairs, etc. It's impossible to have set pricing in this industry. Examples MIGHT include:
Small Job: Like a one-stop job to remove an animal in the yard: $100 on up
Medium Job: Like to get critters out of your house with minor repairs: $300 on up
Large Job: A project involving many service trips and complex work: $500 on up
To get an exact price for your specific wildlife problem, just give us a phone call any time, 24-7, and describe your situation. We will be able to give you a price estimate over the phone, and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment for a full inspection and exact price quote in writing.
