Wildlife Removal & Exclusion in Eastern Ohio

 When wildlife gets into a home, the problem is rarely limited to noise alone. Raccoons tear open rooflines, squirrels chew wiring and insulation, bats contaminate attics, skunks dig under sheds and porches, and rodents slip through openings most homeowners never notice. Once one animal finds a way inside, others often follow.

At Pest Pirates, we provide complete wildlife removal and exclusion services for homes throughout Eastern Ohio. Our approach doesn’t just remove the animals you’re dealing with today  but it permanently seals the entry points that allowed them in, preventing future infestations.

Wildlife removal is the first step when animals are already living inside or underneath your home. This may include attics, crawlspaces, chimneys, sheds, decks, or foundation voids.

Our technicians identify the species involved, locate active den and entry areas, and follow safe, legal removal practices especially for regulated wildlife such as bats. We ensure animals are fully removed before any repairs or sealing takes place, preventing animals from being trapped inside walls or structural cavities.

Homeowners across Eastern Ohio commonly contact us for issues involving raccoons, squirrels, bats, skunks, groundhogs, opossums, mice, and rats.

Removing wildlife without sealing the home only solves the problem temporarily. Animals will return to damaged or unprotected entry points, especially during colder months when shelter is scarce.

Wildlife exclusion is the process of identifying every current and potential entry point and securing them using durable, wildlife-proof materials. This step is what turns wildlife removal into a permanent solution.

We commonly secure roof edges, vents, soffits, chimney access points, crawlspace openings, foundation gaps, deck and shed voids, and utility line penetrations. Materials are selected specifically to withstand chewing, clawing, digging, and weather exposure.

Exclusion is the only reliable way to stop raccoons, squirrels, bats, rodents, and burrowing wildlife from returning weeks or months later.

Many homeowners try trapping or one-time wildlife removal services. The result is usually the same: the animals come back.

Wildlife follows scent trails, reused entry points, and existing damage. New animals will exploit the same roof gap, vent opening, or foundation void if it remains unsealed. Groundhogs re-dig old burrows. Rodents return through the same pipe penetrations.

By combining professional removal with proper exclusion, Pest Pirates provides long-term protection and not just temporary relief.
