Humane Wildlife Trapping, Removal & Exclusion

Southwest Florida Wildlife Removal


Hearing scratching in the attic? Finding holes throughout your lawn? Dealing with an animal that has made itself a little too comfortable around your home or business?

Rapid development around Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Lehigh Acres, and surrounding communities has forced local wildlife to relocate in residential and commercial areas. Access to human food and shelter drives them to your property, leaving droppings, structural damage, and health hazards in their path.

Humane Trapping | Wildlife Removal | Exclusion | Dead Animal Removal

Crews Complete can humanely remove:

  • Racoons
  • Opossums
  • Armadillos
  • Squirrels and other small nuisance animals
  • Bats
  • Other nuisance wildlife, depending on the species and situation

Different animals require different approaches. In every wildlife removal, we evaluate the activity, location, possible entry points, and species involved before recommending the appropriate method of control.

  • This is by far the best company I have ever dealt with in my life! Mike and the office staff were so professional, courteous and friendly and went above and beyond. They got my service done in less than a day, showed up ahead of time and then when they found out my husband was a veteran they gave me a veterans discount. If you ever need pest control this is the company to use! Joanne Matthews 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

  • I cannot say enough good things about this company! Mike was absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were able to come out basically the same day, which was such a huge relief for us. Mike was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. He took the time to explain everything to us, teach us what to look for, answer all of our questions, and make sure we actually understood what was going on and how to prevent problems in the future. He truly went above and beyond and never made us feel rushed and having a little one run around as well how helpful and reassuring he was! It’s hard to find a company that provides this level of customer service anymore. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. We had such a great experience and will absolutely continue using them. Hands down one of the best businesses we’ve worked with. HIGHLY recommend Mike and this company to anyone looking for pest control!

  • Crews Complete Pest Control handles the pest control for all of my properties and I couldn’t be more satisfied! Now, I’ll admit…I’m a little dramatic when it comes to critters. The owner Mike seems to find this highly entertaining and takes every opportunity to mess with me about it. lol But he also makes sure he or his team stays on top of everything so I never actually have to go toe-to-toe with one of these unwanted critters. So I totally appreciate them!!! They’re dependable, thorough, responsive and always take great care of us. Highly recommend Crews Complete Pest Control.

  • Rich from Crews Complete Pest Solutions came yesterday for our quarterly service, and as always, the work was exceptional! After applying the pesticide, he spent a lot of time carefully removing all the cobwebs from our pool cage. Their customer service is also top-notch. A few weeks ago, we found fleas on our kitty. I called Mike, and he had someone out the very next day to take care of it! I highly recommend Crews Complete Pest Solutions.

Our Wildlife Removal Process

From raccoons and opossums seeking shelter around structures to armadillos digging through lawns, our local team identifies the source of the problem and develops a removal and prevention plan for your property.

Inspect the Property

Successful wildlife control starts with understanding exactly what is happening.
Our technicians evaluate the property for signs such as:

1. Burrows and digging
2. Tracks or droppings
3. Damaged soffits, vents, or roof areas
4. Possible nesting or den locations
5. Entry points into attics or structures
6. Areas where animals are feeding or traveling

When wildlife activity isn’t obvious during the daytime, additional monitoring may help us determine where and when the animal is active.

Humane Wildlife Trapping & Monitoring

When trapping is appropriate, we strategically place humane live traps based on the animal’s behavior and travel patterns.

Food-based attractants may be used to encourage the target animal into the trap.

Our team also uses technology such as night-vision and wildlife monitoring cameras when appropriate. Because many nuisance animals are most active after dark, cameras can help us better understand movement patterns and make trapping efforts more efficient.

Captured wildlife is handled and removed in accordance with applicable Florida wildlife regulations.

Wildlife Exclusion & Entry Point Sealing

Removing an animal solves the immediate problem. Finding out how it got there helps prevent the next one.

When wildlife has entered an attic, roofline, crawl space, or other portion of a structure, we can identify accessible entry points and provide wildlife exclusion work where appropriate.

Depending on the property, this may include sealing or reinforcing vulnerable areas around Soffits, Rooflines, Gaps and openings and other vulnerable areas around your home or business.

Wildlife exclusion helps make your home or business considerably less inviting to future unwanted visitors.


Raccoon Removal

Raccoons are intelligent, persistent animals that can take advantage of surprisingly small weaknesses around a structure. They may seek out attics, roof areas, garages, sheds, dumpsters, or other sheltered locations where food and protection are readily available.

Signs of raccoon activity may include:

  • Heavy movement or scratching above ceilings
  • Droppings around the property
  • Torn or damaged soffits
  • Disturbed trash
  • Tracks around buildings
  • Activity captured on security cameras
  • Damage around roofs or attic access points

Opossum Removal

Opossums are frequently active at night and may be attracted to Southwest Florida homes and businesses where they can find food, water, or shelter.

They can take up residence underneath structures, around sheds, inside accessible roof areas, or elsewhere around residential and commercial properties.

If an opossum repeatedly visits your property or has moved into an unwanted location, Crews Complete can evaluate the situation and determine an appropriate wildlife control plan.


Armadillo Removal

Because armadillos forage through soil looking for insects and other food, their nighttime activity can leave behind numerous holes and disturbed areas throughout otherwise healthy turf.

Because armadillos are primarily nocturnal, camera monitoring can be especially useful for identifying travel patterns and determining where control efforts should be concentrated.

Signs of an armadillo near by:

  • Torn-up grass
  • Holes throughout landscaped areas
  • Disturbed mulch or planting beds
  • Damage around foundations
  • Repeated nighttime digging

Bat Removal & Bat Exclusion

Bats play an important role in Florida’s ecosystem and are protected under state wildlife regulations. That means bat problems must be handled differently from typical nuisance wildlife.

A professional bat exclusion may involve identifying the bats’ primary entry and exit points, installing appropriate one-way exclusion devices, and ultimately sealing potential openings to help prevent the bats from returning.

Florida also has specific restrictions surrounding bat breeding season, so the timing and method of any bat exclusion must comply with current wildlife regulations.

If you suspect bats are living inside your attic, roof, or another portion of your structure, contact Crews Complete so we can evaluate the situation and determine the appropriate next steps.


Dead Animal Removal

Unfortunately, wildlife problems don’t always involve a live animal. Crews Complete also provides dead animal removal for homes, businesses, and managed properties throughout Southwest Florida.

Our technicians have experience removing animals of many different sizes and species from a variety of locations. Dead wildlife may be found:

In attics and roofs
Beneath or around buildings
In yards and landscaping
Around commercial properties
In other difficult-to-reach locations

A decomposing animal can create strong odors, attract insects and other pests, and create sanitation concerns.

If you’ve found a dead animal—or smell something but cannot locate the source—give our team a call.


Sometimes you see the animal.
Other times, you only see what it leaves behind.
Common signs of nuisance wildlife include:

01

Scratching or Movement at Night

Raccoons, opossums, rodents, and many other animals are particularly active after dark. Scratching, thumping, or movement in ceilings or attic spaces can indicate animal activity.

02

Droppings

Animal Droppings around attics, patios, roofs, pools, garages, or other areas can help identify what type of animal is visiting the property.

03

Damaged Soffits or Roof Areas

Wildlife may use existing openings around your home or damage vulnerable areas to gain access to sheltered spaces.

04

Holes in the Lawn

Repeated shallow digging throughout turf and landscaping is a common sign of armadillo activity.

05

Unusual Odors

Strong or unexplained odors inside a home may occasionally indicate that an animal has died somewhere within or around the structure.

06

Security Camera Sightings

Repeated nighttime visits from the same animal can indicate that your property is providing food, water, shelter, or access to a nesting area.
