Wildlife Management Service
Occasional invaders such as raccoons, squirrels, and rodents will find their way in and around your home causing problems such as digging up your yard, damaging wires and other parts of your home and will even try to become a permanent resident. When these intruders find their way into your attic, crawl space or other areas they will typically cause structural damage, spread disease, leave an odor and become a serious nuisance.

Service Includes
Inspection
A thorough inspection is vital in determining the type of intruder, areas of vulnerability, and the implementation of a solution to your problem.
Removal
Now that we understand your situation, the solution may include the actual removal of animals. These methods may include traditional traps and baits. Whenever possible, Drake sets live traps and relocates the animal to a safe, designated area.
Securing
Your technician will work with you to keep intruders from coming back. Exclusion work would include things like patching, sealing, and securing entry points. Every home and situation is different, so a custom plan will be performed that best suits your home and property.
-Gaps and holes in roofing, fascia, soffits, and outer walls
-Roof returns and plumbing vents
-Pipe openings and foundation grates
-Crawl space and garage door openings
Decontamination
Even when rodents or other wildlife have been eliminated, it may be necessary to sanitize your property as there may have been long term contamination left behind by rodent feces and urine. Drake will apply a sanitizing agent to all affected surfaces in order to eliminate the diseases associated with the rodent’s by-products.
Service Guarantee
Drake guarantees to provide any additional necessary re-treatments, should your problems persist, for up to one full year, when Exclusion work has been performed.
Common Household Intruders
Armadillos
Armadillos are burrowing mammals commonly found in the southern United States and can become a nuisance around homes and businesses. Their digging for insects such as grubs and worms often damages lawns, landscaping, and irrigation systems, leaving unsightly holes and weakened soil. Because armadillos are mostly active at night, damage is often noticed before the animal is seen. Professional pest control solutions focus on prevention, habitat modification, and humane exclusion to protect your property from continued damage.
Bats
Bats are beneficial wildlife that help control insect populations, but when they roost in attics, soffits, or other structures, they can create serious concerns for property owners. Accumulated droppings, known as guano, can cause strong odors, structural damage, and potential health risks if disturbed. Because bats are protected in many areas, effective control requires specialized knowledge, proper timing, and humane exclusion methods. Professional bat control focuses on safely removing bats, sealing entry points, and preventing future infestations while remaining compliant with wildlife regulations.
Opossums
Opossums are opportunistic wildlife that often seek shelter under homes, decks, and sheds in search of food and protection. While generally non-aggressive, they can cause property damage by rummaging through trash, disturbing insulation, and creating nesting areas. Their presence may also attract insects or lead to unpleasant odors. Professional wildlife control focuses on humane removal, exclusion, and habitat modification to prevent opossums from returning and to protect your property from ongoing issues.
Racoons
Raccoons are highly intelligent and adaptable animals that can become a major nuisance when they access attics, crawlspaces, or roofs. They often cause extensive damage by tearing insulation, damaging vents, and overturning trash cans while searching for food. Raccoons can also pose health risks through parasites and contamination left behind in nesting areas. Professional wildlife control focuses on humane removal, sealing entry points, and implementing preventative measures to keep raccoons from returning and to protect your property.
Rodents
Rodents, such as rats and mice, are common household pests that can cause serious damage and pose health risks if left unaddressed. They chew through wiring, insulation, and structural materials, increasing the risk of fire and costly repairs, while also contaminating food and surfaces with droppings and urine. Rodents reproduce quickly, allowing small problems to escalate into full infestations. Professional rodent control focuses on identifying entry points, eliminating active populations, and implementing exclusion and sanitation measures to prevent future issues.
Skunks
Skunks are burrowing wildlife that can become a nuisance when they den under decks, sheds, or foundations. Their digging can damage structures and landscaping, and their strong defensive spray creates persistent odors that are difficult to remove. Skunks may also pose health risks if they take up residence near people or pets. Professional wildlife control focuses on humane removal, den exclusion, and preventative measures to reduce attractants and keep skunks from returning.
Snakes
Snakes often enter residential and commercial properties in search of food, water, or shelter, especially where rodents are present. While many snakes are non-venomous, their presence can still cause concern and potential safety risks. Snakes may hide in landscaping, crawlspaces, sheds, or garages, making encounters unpredictable. Professional wildlife control focuses on safe removal, habitat modification, and exclusion strategies to reduce attractants and help prevent future snake activity around your property.
Squirrels
Squirrels are agile wildlife that frequently invade attics, soffits, and rooflines in search of shelter and nesting areas. Their constant chewing can damage wiring, insulation, and structural components, increasing the risk of fire and costly repairs. Squirrels are persistent and can quickly re-enter if access points are not properly sealed. Professional wildlife control focuses on humane removal, repair of exclusion points, and preventive measures to keep squirrels out and protect your property.
