Wildlife We Remove in Columbia, SC
Hearing an animal in your attic or noticing rodent droppings is stressful. Wildlife living in your home disrupts your lifestyle, damages your house, and introduces diseases to you and your family. You need to remove the animal quickly and safely.
The experts at Trutech Wildlife Service can quickly and humanely get rid of any nuisance wildlife in your house. Animals like raccoons, squirrels, and bats look for safe shelter. Areas around your house like attics, roofs, and chimneys provide those safe places for animals.
The mild winters and humid summers allow a wide range of critters to be active year-round. Columbia’s continued urbanization will force animals to find new habitats and food sources. This often results in conflicts between humans and wildlife, as animals may forage in gardens, raid trash cans, or take up residence in attics, basements, or crawl spaces.
The experts at Trutech Wildlife Service have the training and experience to identify the pest and create a custom wildlife removal plan. Call Trutech in to get wildlife out.

Trutech Wildlife Service Process
Step 1: Inspection
Our comprehensive wildlife removal process starts with a whole home inspection. We start the inspection by asking questions so we can understand exactly what you’re experiencing. We want to address any signs of wildlife you have noticed like hearing strange sounds or smelling unusual odors.
A thorough inspection covers the interior and exterior of the home including the attic, crawlspace, roof, and any possible entry points.
Step 2: The Plan
With the results of the inspection, we share what we found and how to solve the nuisance wildlife problem.
Although each wildlife control plan is unique to the home, it may include live trapping, direct capture, one-way doors, or deterrents. Before any work begins, we make sure that you are comfortable with the steps being taken to resolve the nuisance wildlife issue.
Step 3: Get To Work
With your approval, we get to work. After the animal removal has taken place, we will repair any damage caused by the critter. Additionally, we will apply sanitizing and ectoparasite agents to the affected areas. Once the plan is executed, your home will be returned to its normal condition.
Step 4: Full Home Exclusion
Wildlife removal is just one part of the plan. Many plans include wildlife control measures to prevent any future problems. This is often completed by installing a full home exclusion. The goal is to create physical barriers to prevent animals from entering your home in the future.
A few possible exclusion techniques include gable vents, ridge vents, crawlspace vents, roof returns, and plumbing stacks. With the appropriate exclusions in place, you can rest easy knowing that a long-term solution is in place to protect your home from nuisance wildlife.
Guarantee and Warranty
Once installed, Trutech offers a one-year warranty on full home exclusions. Plus, there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you aren’t satisfied with the initial work, Trutech will send out a service manager to inspect the work completed and make any necessary adjustments.

Raccoon Removal
Raccoons get into your attic during the spring to give birth and during the colder months to find shelter from the weather.
Trained technicians utilize methods such as live trapping and exclusion to address raccoon infestations and prevent future problems in homes.
Squirrel Removal
Squirrels can scamper onto roofs and gnaw their way into your attic. During the spring, squirrels will find safe places to nest in your attic to give birth.
The most effective squirrel removal uses an excluder valve with a squirrel trap. The best squirrel control is installing exclusions around the roof.
Bat Removal
In late spring, bats roost together in maternity colonies that can range in size from five to a few hundred. While bats do not pose a direct threat to people, their guano can damage attics and spread diseases.
Bats are a protected species. The most ethical bat removal installs a one-way valve once the pups can fly. The bats will evict themselves safely.
Rat Control
Rodents like rats and mice are active all year. They are constantly searching for food and will nest near a reliable food source. Nocturnal critters, you’ll rarely see a rat but you will notice their presence.
Reproducing at a prodigious rate, rat control requires an integrated approach including rat traps, exclusions, population control, and bait stations.
Snake Control
Snakes enter homes to escape the weather or to hunt. Snakes eat where they live so if you have a snake problem, the experts at Trutech will also look for signs of rodents.
Snakes easily avoid people so trapping a snake takes skill and experience. After removing the snake, exclusions will protect your home from snakes and rodents.
Bird Control
Birds in your trees are a welcome addition to any yard. Birds nesting on your house or inside of it can be a problem. Nesting materials are fire hazards, and bird droppings carry diseases that spread to you and your family.
It is illegal to use bird traps on most species. Effective bird control requires an integrated approach of deterrents, repellents, and habitat modifications.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution; each job requires a custom approach. We inspect every home and build a custom plan to resolve any wildlife problems. We use a variety of techniques including cage traps, direct capture, one-way valves, and deterrents. Exclusion techniques are the most effective way to get rid of animals.
We provide customized solutions to each individual customer so that we may solve the issue as quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively as possible. The size of the house, type of animal, number of nuisance animals, and length of time of infestation affect the estimated price of wildlife removal.
An estimate may change based on the amount of animal activity or work needed to be done. All estimates are finalized with an exact price before any work begins.
Our goal is to remove any wildlife as humanely as possible — often that means catching and releasing the animal.
Trutech® does not hire subcontractors for animal removal services. We employ expert technicians who are provided ongoing education and training in all aspects of animal control and removal. Many of our technicians hold degrees in Wildlife Biology, Entomology (insects), Ornithology (birds) or Herpetology (reptiles), some with Masters degrees in their specialty field.
Yes! We are licensed and insured.
We start by first removing the wildlife on your property, and cleaning up any damage. From there we’ll work with you to create a customized prevention plan so you won’t have the same issue again.
Typically an animal dies in your home because it became trapped in a hard-to-reach and hidden area. Our expert technicians have the experience and knowledge to find it and then safely remove the carcass from your home.
Our Wildlife Technicians use a pet-safe odor eliminator made of natural organisms and enzymes that consume decaying organic odor-causing matter, eliminating the source of the lingering odor. We use aerosols, oxidizing agents, foggers, and disinfectants with germicides to deodorize until nature completes this task for you.
You should consider a full home exclusion after the smell has been neutralized. Nuisance wildlife found its way into your house once. That entrance leaves your home vulnerable to future animal infestations. Full home exclusions are the most effective form of wildlife control.
