Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do animals get into my attic?
Raccoons and squirrels use tree branches, utility lines, and rooflines to reach the eaves, then work through the soffits, the vents, and any gap in the roofline. Trimming the branches and sealing the roof edges closes the routes.
Q: Do you remove the animal alive?
Yes. We use legal, humane trapping and exclusion methods, then seal the entry point so the animal and its young cannot return.
Q: Do I need the cleanup after the removal?
Yes, in most cases. The droppings and the nesting carry parasites and odors, and the cleanup is what makes the space safe to use again.
Q: What animals are most common in Athena?
Raccoons, squirrels, and opossums are the most common calls in Umatilla, with bats and birds in the attic and the chimney in some areas.
