When Something Gets In That Shouldn't Be There
Wildlife doesn't wait for a convenient time to become a problem. In Millwood, a squirrel in the attic, bats in the eaves, or a snake turning up near the crawlspace isn't just a nuisance — it's a real concern for the structure, your family, and everything you've worked to maintain on your property. Petti Pest Control handles it directly, with experienced technicians who know what's common out here in the Valley and how to deal with it the right way.
Here's how Petti gets it handled:
- We start with a thorough, no-cost inspection of your home and property — inside and out — to identify what's getting in and where
- We walk you through what we found and what we recommend, without padding the scope or adding services you don't need
- Our technicians use humane trapping, baiting, and exclusion methods to remove the animal and cut off the entry point
- Affected areas are fully sanitized to address any contamination left behind
- If attic insulation has been damaged, we can install TAP® insulation to restore and improve what was there
- We stand behind the work — if something comes back, so do we, at no extra charge

Wildlife Exclusion Services That Keep Animals Out for Good
Once an animal finds a way into your home, it rarely leaves on its own. At Petti Pest Control, our wildlife control approach doesn't stop at removal. We go further with professional exclusion work designed to seal off the entry points animals use to get inside in the first place.
Protecting Valley Homes From the Outside In
Exclusion is the part of wildlife control most people don't think about until the problem comes back. Here's how it works. After we've removed the animal, our technicians locate every gap, crack, vent opening, and compromised area in your home's exterior that gave it access. Older construction in the Valley tends to have more of these than you'd expect. Settling foundations, deteriorating soffits, and gaps around utility penetrations are common entry points for squirrels, bats, snakes, and more.
We seal those openings with durable, appropriate materials built to hold up through the seasons. That means animals can't return through the same route, and new ones can't follow. Petti also backs this up with a full inspection of the affected areas, sanitization where needed, and available TAP insulation installation if animals have damaged what's in your attic. The goal is simple. Fix the problem and make sure it stays fixed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can wildlife damage my attic insulation?
Yes, and it's one of the most common and costly consequences of a wildlife intrusion. Animals nesting in attics contaminate and compress insulation with droppings and urine, significantly reducing its effectiveness. We offer TAP® insulation installation as an option for attics where the existing insulation has been damaged or compromised.
How quickly can you respond to a wildlife problem?
We offer same-day and next-day wildlife removal service.
What diseases can wildlife carry into my home?
Bats are associated with rabies and histoplasmosis. Birds carry salmonella and can harbor mites and ticks. Rodent-like wildlife such as squirrels can transmit similar illnesses to mice and rats. Snakes themselves rarely carry disease, but can bring mites and ticks indoors. Proper removal, exclusion, and sanitization are all important for eliminating these risks, not just the animal itself.
What is exclusion and why is it important for wildlife control?
Exclusion is the process of identifying and permanently sealing the entry points animals are using to access your home. It's the most important step in long-term wildlife control because it prevents re-entry after the animals have been removed. Without exclusion, new animals of the same or different species will find the same openings, and the problem starts over.
What wildlife do you remove?
We handle a wide range of wildlife that can invade homes and properties, including bats, birds, snakes, and squirrels, among many others.
Do you handle snake removal on rural properties?
Yes. Snakes are a common concern on Valley properties, particularly near fields, woodlines, and outbuildings. We identify the species, remove it safely, and assess the property for conditions that may be attracting them.
