Wildlife Removal Services
Professional Wildlife Removal Services in the Finger Lakes Region
We are excited to expand our services to offer safe and effective wildlife removal services.

Bat Exclusion Facts
No trapping programs are offered for bats.
Bats and Presence of them:
Typically, most bat encounters fall under one of these three scenarios.
1: A lone bat has entered the living space either from following air currents and drafts into the structure or being a young/yearling bat who is also following drafts while learning to fly.
2: Bats flying around the exterior of a structure, most times between dusk and dawn this activity is usually witnessed while bats are feeding. Just because bats are being seen flying around does not necessarily mean you have a situation that needs to be addressed.
3: Bats are routinely entering the structure or living inside of it. For this scenario the exclusion process is best and only effective option. Most times at this point customers will have seen droppings (guano), have heard noises inside ceiling/walls, or physically seen bats entering and exiting the structure.
Exclusion:
Bats routinely enter structures through small cracks, gaps and openings that can be as small as 3/8thinches. Some common areas where entry points can be found include attic roof vent, chimney, dormers, drip edge, soffits, fascia, siding etc. When performing exclusion services, it is crucial to seal up any possible point of entries and active points of entry to remove the bats and to keep them out. Active points of entry which usually reveal a discolored rub mark receive a one-way door that gets installed on the structure that safely allows bats to exit but not reenter.
Bat Removal Services
Bats can enter your home through a variety of channels. Certain species of bats, such as brown bats, commonly choose residential homes to roost. Bats can enter your home from an open window or door, through your fascia boards, through your chimney, or through your attic. Once you’ve had a bat or bats enter your home and they’ve been safely removed, it’s recommended that you have a home inspection to identify any areas that may be vulnerable or need to be repaired to prevent future bat entry.

Squirrel Removal Facts
Trapping:
We offer both live trapping and body gripping (kill trapping) programs for squirrels. Certain factors are taken into consideration to determine which option we use. Some of these factors include customers preference, young/newborn babies being present, location of area, most effective traps for scenario, pets/non target catches nearby, etc. Regardless of trap style each trap is both baited and lured to attract nuisance squirrels. If squirrels don’t commit to one bait and lure combination, we are able to switch to alternatives.
Exclusion:
Squirrels routinely enter structures through small cracks, gaps and openings that can be as small as a golf ball up to baseball size ang larger. Some common areas where entry points can be found include attic roof vent, around chimney, dormers, drip edge, soffits, fascia, siding, old woodpecker holes, etc. When performing exclusion services, it is crucial to seal up any possible point of entries and active points of entry to remove the squirrels and to keep them out. Active points of entry which usually reveal a discolored rub mark along with chewing marks receive a one-way door that gets installed on the structure that will allow what squirrels that are inside the structure to exit but not reenter due to the spring-loaded one-way door.
Squirrel Removal Services
While squirrels can access your home in the same ways as bats, squirrels can also be more destructive to your home. If you have a plastic roof vent, for example, squirrels can feel the heat coming from your home and chew through your plastic vent cover to gain access. Squirrels can also carry ticks and fleas that can easily be transmitted to you, your children or your pets. Like many other rodents, squirrels also tend to spray their feces and urine where they inhabit as a way to mark their territory, creating a salmonella risk.

Raccoon Removal Facts
Trapping:
We offer both live trapping and occasionally body gripping (kill trapping) programs for raccoons. Certain factors are taken into consideration to determine which option we use. Some of these factors include customers preference, young/newborn babies being present, location of area, most effective traps for scenario, pets/non target catches nearby, etc. Regardless of trap style each trap is both baited and lured to attract nuisance raccoons. If the nuisance animal doesn’t commit to one bait and lure combination, we are able to switch to alternatives. During the springtime it is not uncommon to have nuisance mother raccoons with their newborns that become problematic. When this occurs, we take special consideration to live trap/remove the mother raccoon and proceed to find the babies to reunite with the mother. The family then get delivered to a state rehabilitator to increase the chance of their survival before being released again
Exclusion:
Raccoons have the ability to enter structures through voids/openings as small as 4 inches and larger. Some common areas where entry points can be found include attic roof vent, chimneys, dormers, soffits, fascia, under porches, etc. When performing exclusion services, it is crucial to seal up any possible point of entries and active points of entry to remove the raccoons and to keep them out. Active points of entry which usually reveal a discolored rub mark from their fur receive a spring-loaded one-way door that gets installed on the entry point that will allow raccoons that are inside the structure to exit but not reenter. Some scenarios, the exclusion services that need to be performed also involve digging a trench around the problematic area, installing wire mesh, and backfilling the trench. This is typically for underneath porches, slabs, and sheds.
Raccoon Removal Services
Raccoons are extremely common in both cities and suburbs. Because of their curious nature, intelligence, and agility, it can be quite difficult to remove a raccoon from your home. This is especially true if a raccoon is looking to make your home, their home. Raccoons can access your home the same ways as other wildlife and can carry dangerous diseases such as rabies, hepatitis, and more.

Skunk Removal Facts
Trapping:

When skunk catches are made, we take necessary precautions to remove the animal in a safe and effective way to minimize the chance of it spraying.
Exclusion:
Most times skunks become a nuisance when they are found digging multiple precise cone shaped holes throughout lawns. This behavior is when skunks are feeding on grubs and other available insects. Additionally, skunks are known to burrow under porches, sheds, concrete slabs, etc. This behavior is more commonly tied to skunks making a den site/shelter. When this occurs exclusion services can be performed which involve digging a trench around the problematic area, installing wire mesh and backfilling the trench.
Skunk Removal Services
Skunks typically like to nest underneath your house, porch, deck or shed. Since skunks are highly motivated by food, it’s not uncommon to find skunks in your backyard or near your garbage cans in search of food. Save yourself the hassle and risk of being sprayed by a skunk and call the professionals at All Seasons Pest Control to remove any skunks that you may have on your property.

We’ll address common entrance points throughout your home or office such as chimney/soffit, roof vents, plumbing vents, holes in siding, porches & decks, and more.
