Wildlife Removal in Gettysburg, South Dakota

Wildlife Removal in Gettysburg protects the homes and the businesses of Potter County from wildlife.

A free inspection and a written plan are the standard first step.

Signs you have wildlife in Gettysburg

• Scratching and thumping in the attic at night — raccoons or squirrels moving in the attic space.
• Droppings in the crawl space and the attic — the waste of the animal that has moved in.
• Damage to the soffits, the vents, and the roofline — entry points chewed or pulled open.
• Garbage and bird feeder disturbance — raccoons and opossums working the food sources.
• Noises in the walls and the chimney — animals that have found a route into the structure.

Yes. We use legal, humane trapping and exclusion methods, then seal the entry point so the animal and its young cannot return.
