Zap Pest Control's ISA-certified technicians provide humane wildlife removal and exclusion sealing across Arden Hills, MN, so the same animal doesn't just come back next week.
Call 1 (877) 790-6119A technician confirms the animal and entry point before any removal begins.
The animal is removed using methods appropriate to the species found.
The access point is closed to prevent the same or a new animal from returning.
A scheduled check verifies the exclusion work is still effective.
Scratching or thumping in the attic at odd hours is one of the most common reasons for a first call, especially once it becomes clear the sound is too large and too rhythmic to be a rodent. Others notice an animal directly, a raccoon slipping through a gap in the soffit at dusk, or a squirrel disappearing into a roofline gap it clearly didn't create on its own. A third group calls after finding damage first: torn insulation, chewed wiring, or a visibly widened gap where an animal has been squeezing in and out repeatedly.
Removing the animal without sealing its entry point solves the problem for exactly as long as it takes another animal to find the same convenient gap. Our approach always pairs humane removal with exclusion work, closing the access point the animal used so the issue doesn't simply repeat itself with a different tenant a few weeks later.
The technician identifies the animal and locates the specific entry point being used to access the structure.
Removal methods are selected based on the species present and the specific location of the animal.
Any chewed wiring, torn insulation, or structural damage is documented as part of the visit.
The access point is closed using materials appropriate to its size and location on the structure.
A follow-up visit confirms the sealing work remains intact and no new activity has appeared.
Many wildlife calls we receive follow a previous removal that didn't include exclusion sealing, meaning the same gap simply attracted a new animal within weeks. Our technicians treat sealing as a required part of every wildlife visit, not an optional add-on, because removal without it is, at best, a temporary fix. Materials used for sealing are matched to the specific location and size of the gap, since a chimney cap calls for a different approach than a soffit gap or a foundation vent.
