Getting Wild Animals Out of Your Clovis Home or Yard

Noises in the attic at night, a musky smell under the porch or fresh holes along the foundation in Clovis usually mean a wild animal has found a den. Raccoons, opossums, skunks and groundhogs are the usual culprits, and each one needs a different approach. Skunks and groundhogs burrow under decks and sheds, while raccoons tear at roof edges and vents. A wildlife technician identifies the animal, checks for young, and uses humane trapping or one-way exits that follow your state and local rules. Closing the entry afterward is what keeps the next animal from moving in. Never corner a wild animal, especially one that is acting strangely.

Wildlife Removal in Clovis: What to Know

In the desert Southwest, skunks, raccoons near water and coyotes visit yards, and rattlesnakes are active in warm months and shelter in cool, shaded spots such as block walls and woodpiles. Call 911 for a bite. Cool winters send mice, rats and squirrels toward attics and garages, though insects slow down only for a few months.

Calls about wildlife problems come from every Clovis ZIP code, day and night.

How the Job Is Done

• Identify and inspect. The technician looks at tracks, droppings, den holes and entry damage to confirm which animal it is and how many there are, which decides the method.
• Humane trapping or a one-way exit. Cage traps or one-way doors are set where rules allow, and the technician checks for young first. Handling and release follow state and local law, which differs from place to place.
• Seal, clean and repair. Once the animal is out, the entry is closed with heavy mesh or metal flashing, and a buried mesh skirt can stop diggers under a deck or shed. Droppings and soiled insulation are cleaned up.
