Which pests are covered under Terminix Wildlife Control services?

Raccoons, opossums, skunks, ground hogs, armadillos, pigeons, starlings, sparrows and snakes are all covered with Terminix wildlife control services.

Based on what is found, your Terminix professional will customize a plan for wildlife removal and ongoing protection.

How do you get rid of wildlife?

Raccoons, opossums and other wildlife pests can find and create entry points into your home looking for food, water and shelter. Once in your home, they can chew through wires, destroy property and belongings, eat drywall and more. Terminix wildlife control professionals are trained to effectively remove the nuisance wildlife, as well as find and seal the entry points they’re using to get into your home. You can get started with a FREE inspection.

How much does wildlife control cost?

The cost of wildlife control can vary by your home’s location, size of home, type of wildlife pest you’re dealing with and more. Terminix customizes wildlife control plans based on your unique situation and needs. And with over 90+ years of experience and on-staff entomologists, we’ve seen it all and know how to solve your problem. You can get started with a FREE inspection.

How often does Terminix visit for wildlife service?

Depending on your customized protection plan, we typically return annually for a Wildlife Control Plan, for as long as you keep your plan.

What are the best baits for mice or rats?

Contrary to popular belief, cheese is not a good bait for mice or rats. Peanut butter and chocolate work well as long as you don’t put too much on the trap. Work the bait onto the trap’s trigger so that it’s hard for the rodent to get it off and it will be forced to climb the trigger. Or you can always call Terminix to come and inspect your problem and properly set baits and traps.

When can I start a Wildlife Control service?

If you’re having problems with wildlife getting into your home, you can get started with Terminix today by scheduling a free inspection.

Why do I need service in the winter months when insects are inactive?

That’s the thing, pests are never inactive. Though it may be cold outside, it’s nice and warm in your home — which is exactly what wildlife pests, animals, and rodents are looking for in the wintertime. So, we help keep them out through inspection and sealing of entry points around your home.

How wildlife control works

Wildlife inspection

Through an in-depth inspection, we'll determine how, where and why wildlife are entering your property. Then we'll customize a plan to get them out and keep them out.

Wildlife exclusion

Our service technicians will use traps, baits and other tools to get wildlife out. We'll also patch, seal and secure your home's exterior to ensure that all wildlife stays out.

Re-inspection

We'll come back and re-inspect your home each year for wildlife as long as you keep your plan. We will check previously secured entry points and check for new vulnerabilities.

The Nix Pest Guarantee means you can relax knowing we'll nix your rodent and wildlife problem and keep it nixed for as long as you keep your plan. If they do return, we will come back -- at no additional cost to you.³

Here’s what our wildlife control customers say

"Crawling around an attic in the summer heat is not for the faint of heart."

“Randy conducted an intrusion inspection. He always does an outstanding job. He spends well over an hour both on the outside and in the attic making sure no wildlife can or have entered the premises. He was on time, courteous, professional and above all thorough. Crawling around an attic in the summer heat is not for the faint of heart. Highly recommend this service especially if he does it.”

“Everyone from the Inspector, Robert, to Jimmy, the Wildlife Specialist, & Geoffrey & Daquan, the service was outstanding!! They were all knowledgeable and friendly. No request was too difficult for them to accomplish, and they went the "extra-mile" to perform all the tasks requested and required in an exemplary manner. They respected the property and fulfilled their contract, as agreed upon. I highly recommend them for any of your pest control needs. These are competent, hard-working and task-oriented employees.”

“Billy did an excellent job ridding my home/attic of wildlife. He encountered many obstacles but stayed persistent and got the job done. He sealed the entry spot and placed protective measures to keep the wildlife out. I appreciate his hard work and dedication.”

Frequently asked rodent control questions

Can Terminix help with my mosquito problem?

Yes. We have a mosquito control service that begins working immediately and protects for weeks (not available in all areas).

How often will I need mosquito control?

We do offer a one-time service. However, to keep mosquito activity down all season long, we need to treat your yard monthly during mosquito season in your area. You will only be charged for the months that we treat.

How does mosquito treatment work?

On your initial mosquito treatment, we will conduct a thorough inspection around the perimeter of your home. Then, we will develop a customized mosquito treatment based on our findings and the layout of your property. We will apply a liquid treatment on shrubs and greenery (avoiding pollinating flowers) to help keep mosquitoes away. Our treatment eliminates mosquitoes on contact and creates a zone of protection that lasts for weeks. We then come back each month during mosquito season to inspect and treat your property. In the unlikely event that mosquitoes do come back in between treatments, we will come back to retreat – at no additional cost to you.

I’m having an outdoor wedding at a venue, can Terminix spray there prior to the event?

Yes! All we need for you to do is pass our information to the venue director and we can discuss the best time to come and treat their outdoor space for mosquitoes. Oh, and congratulations!
