When Wildlife Moves In

Hear scratching? Find droppings? See an animal?

Whether you're hearing movement above the ceiling or you've spotted an unwanted animal around your property, identifying the source is the first step toward solving the problem.

01
Scratching or Movement in Walls & Attics

Noises late at night or early morning usually point to bats, raccoons, squirrels, or mice living inside your insulation.

02
Wildlife Entering Rooflines, Vents, or Chimneys

Unprotected ridge vents, soffits, and chimney flues offer easy access for animals seeking shelter.

03
Droppings, Odors, or Damaged Insulation

Foul smells, urine stains, and torn insulation indicate nesting activity that requires professional cleanup.

04
Recurring Animal Activity Around the Home

Animals coming back to your roof, porch, or foundation mean entry points remain wide open.

Let's find out what's getting in.

More Than Animal Removal

Get them out. Keep them out.

Removing the animal is only part of the solution. Cottom's also identifies entry points, installs exclusion solutions, and addresses damage left behind by wildlife.

01/ Stage

Inspect

Identify activity, possible entry points, and damage with a thorough top-to-bottom inspection of your roofline, vents, chimney, and foundation.

02/ Stage

Remove & Exclude

Develop a species-appropriate removal and exclusion approach — humane trapping or one-way valves, then heavy-duty steel guards and flashing.

03/ Stage

Clean Up & Repair

Address affected areas, damaged materials, and vulnerable openings as needed — sanitation, insulation, and structural repairs.

"Carter & Colin just left after sealing the entire house from pests. Joshua was here Friday and did the inspection and mapped out what was needed. All three of these young men were extremely professional, courteous and clean. They found evidence of mice and bats in the attic, and squirrels had damaged ridge vents. Their installation is efficient and virtually invisible. Great job!"

"I chose Cottom's over the other 2 companies I spoke with because of their customer service and the time they took to share info during the initial call. Will kept me updated on progress for removing a family of raccoons from the chimney. They also capped the chimney to prevent return!"

"Cottom's came to the house and inspected my attic as I feared we had something in it from an entry point I noticed. Luckily there was no evidence of anything in the attic. The entry point was sealed and the guys were very thorough and courteous."
