If you have a wild animal in your attic, crawlspace, chimney, walls, yard, or business, you need a company that can do more than “remove the animal.” The real fix is: remove → repair and seal → prevent → clean up (if needed).

Virginia Professional Wildlife Removal Services provides wildlife removal and animal control across the Richmond metro area, including Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Midlothian, Short Pump, Glen Allen, Mechanicsville, Bon Air, and nearby communities.

The Most Common “Richmond Wildlife” Calls We Get

People rarely search just ‘animal control’ anymore—they search the problem:

  • Noises in the attic (scratching, thumping, fluttering)
  • Animal in chimney or fireplace
  • Droppings in attic or crawlspace
  • Torn soffit/roof vent damage
  • Burrowing under a deck, porch, shed, or slab
  • Rodents in walls or ceiling
  • Snake spotted near the house or inside

If you’re seeing any of those signs, the sooner you act, the less damage you’ll have to repair.

Our Process (Why We Get Better Long-Term Results)

1) Inspection and identification

We locate activity areas, entry points, travel routes, and den/nesting zones.

2) Humane removal / control

We remove the animal(s) safely and professionally using species-appropriate methods.

3) Exclusion repairs (the step most companies skip)

We seal and repair entry points using durable, animal-resistant materials so the problem doesn’t repeat. Learn more about animal exclusion and wildlife damage repair.

4) Cleanup and restoration options (when needed)

When contamination exists from droppings, urine, or nesting debris, we provide practical guidance and cleanup options.

Why Waiting Costs More (Damage Adds Up Fast)

Wildlife in a structure can quickly lead to:

  • Chewed wiring and fire risk (squirrels/rodents)
  • Torn ducts and HVAC issues (raccoons)
  • Soiled insulation and odors (raccoons/rodents/bats)
  • Ceiling stains and drywall damage
  • Secondary pests (mites, fleas, bat bugs)

If you suspect wildlife activity, it’s best to schedule an inspection before the damage grows.

Richmond Wildlife “Fast Answers” (Top Issues)

Squirrels in the attic

Common in spring/fall. DIY repellents (mothballs, ultrasonic devices, strobe lights) don’t solve entry points. Removal + sealing is the fix. Learn more: Squirrel Removal in Richmond VA.

Bats in the attic

The correct solution is humane bat exclusion (not poison, not sprays). Timing matters seasonally, so an inspection is key. Learn more: Richmond VA Bat Removal

Raccoons in attic or chimney

Often involves a mother with babies. Sealing too early can trap animals inside—call before you block openings.

Rats and mice

Effective control often requires a combination of trapping and/or rodenticide bait stations (when appropriate) plus exclusion so new rodents can’t replace the ones removed. Learn more: Rat Control in Virginia and Mouse Control in Virginia
