Something is living in your house that isn't paying rent — in the attic, under the deck, or down the chimney. It's unsettling, it's doing damage while you decide what to do about it, and a lot of the advice online is flatly illegal in Pennsylvania. We're a PA-certified Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator, a license most exterminators don't carry, and we handle raccoons, groundhogs, squirrels, skunks, opossums, bats, and snakes — humanely, and by the rules.

In Pennsylvania, a NWCO is licensed by the PA Game Commission to legally trap, handle, and remove wildlife species that the average pest control company isn't licensed to touch. Most pest companies can spray for insects but cannot legally remove a raccoon from your attic or trap a groundhog in your yard. We can.
Get into attics, chimneys, garages, and crawl spaces — often a mother raccoon raising kits in spring. We trap and remove the adult, locate and remove any kits, and show you the entry point. Raccoons are a rabies vector species in Pennsylvania and cannot be relocated — state rules limit what a licensed operator may do with a trapped one, and we'll explain exactly what applies to your situation before a trap goes out. Raccoons can carry rabies and roundworm — professional handling matters.
The most common wildlife callout in the Harrisburg area. They dig burrows under sheds, decks, porches, and foundations, destroying gardens and causing structural damage. We trap and remove according to PA Game Commission rules.
Groundhog removal →Gray and flying squirrels routinely get into attics through soffit gaps. They chew wood, insulation, and electrical wiring — squirrel-caused electrical fires are a real risk. We trap, remove, and install one-way doors.
Squirrel removal →Den under decks, sheds, and porches. We trap and remove with techniques that minimize spraying, then close off the den site so a new skunk doesn't move in.
Several PA bat species are protected — removal must follow state and federal guidelines including timing restrictions during maternity season (May–July). We perform proper bat exclusions using one-way doors at identified entry points.
Bat exclusion →We safely remove snakes from structures and identify the species. PA does have venomous snakes (timber rattlesnake, copperhead) — if there's any chance you have a venomous species, do not approach it.
When a wild animal dies in an attic, wall void, or crawl space, the smell can take weeks to fade and the carcass attracts flies and secondary pests. We locate and remove dead animals from inaccessible spaces and dispose of them properly.
