WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
WE KEEP THE WILD OUT OF YOUR HOME
Why Do I Have Wildlife In My Home?
Wildlife are always looking for shelter, food, and water. Your home is a perfect place to stay dry, warm, and provides shelter to stay out of the elements. In their search for food, they may crawl through cracks in walls, attic, garage, or crawlspace and make your home theirs for the night or more.
Sometimes animals around your home — like squirrels, birds, moles, voles, raccoons, and snakes — can cause problems.
Cause damage to your house by chewing wires or digging up your yard
Potentially spread diseases
Leave droppings that cause odour
An Orkin Pro will inspect the interior and exterior of the home to find signs of critters.
OUR WILDLIFE SERVICES
Orkin Wildlife Management
Orkin’s Wildlife Management service can help customers control unwanted wildlife such as squirrels, opossums, raccoons, and more. Some services offered as part of the Wildlife Management Service* include:
Exclusion and Prevention: Orkin can find and seal possible entry points such as vents, holes, and pipes to help your home stay secure against these pests.
Removal: If wildlife is already in your home, we can remove or capture the animal according to state and local regulations, using environmentally responsible techniques.
Wildlife Repellant: By strategically placing wildlife repellents, we can help keep certain animals in areas where they belong — and away from your flower beds and garden.
*Wildlife Management is not available in all service areas. Contact your local Orkin branch for more information.
Two-Step Protection
01
Assess: A Free Wildlife Inspection
If you have seen evidence of a wild animal in or around your home, Orkin can come to your home and assess the current situation. We will look for ways animals can get inside and evidence to determine the animal type.
02
Implement: Getting the Job Done
After inspection, we will create a customised wildlife management plan that might include removal, exclusion, or a repellent. Additionally, we seal off any possible entrances that may be invitations to unwanted visitors.

If you see wildlife in your home, stay calm and avoid direct contact. Confine the animal to one area if possible and close off other parts of your home. Contact a professional wildlife control service to safely and humanely remove the animal. Ensure all entry points are sealed to prevent future incidents.

The animal may have found an easy entryway, or it just happened to like the area your home was in.

The removal method depends on the type of wildlife. Techniques may include exclusion methods (sealing entry points), trapping, or live capture and relocation (where permitted by law).
