Rabbits, raccoons, foxes, squirrels, and bats are common wildlife visitors to yards and gardens across Mississippi, drawn in by food sources and shelter. In particular, rabbits and squirrels can quickly cause significant damage to plants and landscaping. Rabbit burrows not only disturb the soil but may also attract predators like foxes, which can bring diseases such as rabies and canine distemper into residential areas, posing a health risk to both pets and humans.

They serve an extensive area across Central and Southern Mississippi, including cities like Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, Flowood, Pearl, Richland, Florence, Jackson, Clinton, Meridian, Forest, Morton, and further south to Hattiesburg, Biloxi, Gulfport, and other regions.

Rachel Bonner

Critter Control responded promptly to my call. Nathan was very professional and explained all the options for keeping squirrels out of my attic. He did not try to pressure me to do the most expensive option. He kept me updated about the schedule and was very pleasant to deal with. I would definitely use them again if I have more critter problems.

We had a little squirrel family invade our home and wouldn’t leave. James came out several times to place valves in the areas where they were getting in. When he would fix one area, they would create another so it took several times of him coming out but he was incredibly patient and also very knowledgeable about wildlife. He eventually got rid of them for good and fixed all the places they had chewed through my siding. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with “critters” and would call him back in a heart beat if we had another problem!!

Critter Control did a great job with getting or should I say evicting the raccoons from the attic of our house. James quickly located and sealed the entry area that was been used by the raccoons to enter my attic. In addition, James identified and showed me other potential entry points, which he was also able to seal, in order to alleviate the reentry of raccoons and other wildlife into my attic in the future. I am delighted to share that I no longer have the raccoon issues in my attic. Furthermore, I am pleased with the services provided by James of Critter Control and I would definitely recommend them to others with wildlife issues in or around their homes.

We specialize in safely removing bats from homes and businesses while ensuring their humane relocation. Our expert team will seal entry points and prevent future infestations, all while protecting both your property and the bat population.

  For professional, reliable, and eco-friendly bat exclusion, Critter Control is the trusted choice in the region.

Bees on the Roof!

  Honey bees are experts at finding ideal locations to establish their hives, and sometimes they choose your home as the perfect spot! These industrious insects can settle in wall cavities, attics, or even under eaves. While honey bees are essential for pollination, their presence in or around your home can pose risks.

  Properly removing and relocating the bees is critical to ensure the safety of both the bees and your property. Professional services help safely manage bee infestations while protecting your home from damage caused by nests.

Securing the Living Spaces

  Rodents and rats are highly adept at squeezing into crawl spaces and attics through even the smallest openings. To protect your home, we specialize in sealing and blocking off these vulnerable areas, ensuring that rodents can no longer gain access. By securing potential entry points and fortifying your home’s structure, we effectively prevent rodent infestations and the damage they cause.

  This comprehensive approach not only keeps rodents out but also protects your attic and crawl spaces from future invasions.

Squirrels in the Attic

  James is demonstrating how he successfully blocked critters from entering the attic. By identifying and sealing off potential access points, he effectively stopped animals like raccoons, squirrels, or bats from crawling in.

  This method is crucial for preventing future infestations and protecting the attic from damage caused by wildlife.

Proper sealing techniques and durable materials help ensure that critters can no longer use these entry points to invade the home.

Raccoons on the Roof

  Raccoons are notorious for squeezing into tight spaces, regardless of their size. Their agility and dexterity allow them to exploit even the smallest gaps around homes. Here, we are sealing up a known entry point to prevent further access, ensuring that raccoons are effectively kept out and reducing the chances of future intrusions.

  Properly sealing all potential entry points is key to preventing raccoon infestations.

Rat Snakes

  The rat snake is a large, moderately stout species that can reach a maximum length of approximately 101 inches. There are two main subspecies: the gray rat snake and the black rat snake. The gray rat snake, typically found in southern areas, is slightly smaller, with a maximum length of about 84 inches.

  In contrast, the black rat snake is more common in northern Mississippi and Alabama. Both subspecies are known for their climbing ability and their role in controlling rodent populations.






Protecting your Home from Bats

  Bats often infiltrate homes by squeezing through tiny openings in building materials. Thanks to their small size, bats can easily slip into gaps as narrow as 6 millimeters—roughly the diameter of a dime.

  These creatures are experts at finding entry points, such as cracks in walls, loose shingles, or gaps around vents and chimneys, making proper sealing crucial to keep them out.

Cotton Mouth

  The cottonmouth, commonly found statewide, thrives in a variety of aquatic habitats but is especially abundant in the swamps of the Coastal Plain. It is the only venomous aquatic snake in North America. This species includes three recognized subspecies: A.p. piscivorus (Eastern cottonmouth), A.p. conanti (Florida cottonmouth), and A.p. leucostoma (Western cottonmouth).

  These snakes are known for their adaptability to different water environments and play a significant role in the local ecosystems across their range.

Attic Rats

  The Roof Rat (**Rattus rattus Linnaeus**), also known as the black rat, is smaller than the Norway rat, but it is far more cautious, showing heightened sensitivity to changes in its environment. Roof rats are agile climbers and are commonly found in attics when they invade homes.

  They tend to nest high above the ground and are notorious for making noise in walls and ceilings, which often alerts homeowners to their presence. Due to their skittish nature and ability to thrive in elevated spaces, they are frequently heard before they are seen. Proper exclusion and sealing of entry points are crucial to keeping these rodents out of your home.

Raccoons in the Attic

  Raccoons often find their way into attics, causing noise, damage, and health risks. Knowing how to safely and effectively remove them is essential. In this case, a one-way valve was used for raccoon attic exclusion. This device allows raccoons to exit the attic but prevents them from re-entering, making it a humane way to evict them without causing harm.

  Once the raccoons leave, it’s crucial to seal up any entry points to prevent them or other wildlife from returning. This method is not only effective but also ensures the raccoons are relocated safely.

Protecting your Mushroom Vents

  Roof vents are a common entry point for wildlife, such as birds, squirrels, and bats, allowing them to easily access attics and other areas of your home. Adding protective covers or barriers to these vents is an essential layer of preventative maintenance.

  By securing vents with durable materials like metal screens, you can effectively block animals from invading your property while ensuring proper ventilation for your home. This simple yet critical step helps reduce the risk of infestations and the damage that wildlife can cause. Regularly inspecting and maintaining your roof vents is a key part of keeping your home protected.

Dealing with Problematic Wildlife in Mississippi

Central and Southern Mississippi, including the capital Jackson, experience a high level of wildlife activity due to their humid climates and close proximity to water sources like the Pearl River. These environmental conditions create an ideal habitat for a variety of animals that continuously forage for food and shelter. As a result, wildlife such as raccoons, bats, snakes, and rodents frequently enter residential and commercial properties, leading to significant property damage and posing health risks to residents and business owners alike. Managing these wildlife invasions through proper prevention and control measures is crucial to mitigate the damage and prevent future infestations.

Wild Life FAQ

In Central Mississippi, the biggest problem with wildlife is when animals like squirrels, raccoons, and opossums enter homes and businesses. These animals often find and use weak spots in buildings to get inside.

While wildlife can be a problem throughout the year, certain seasons are particularly challenging. In cold weather, animals look for warm places, often inside homes, to take shelter. During spring, female animals seek safe spots, like a cozy attic, to give birth and raise their young.

Homeowners should stay alert to protect their well-being from wildlife intrusions. Listen for unusual sounds coming from the attic, walls, or beneath the floors. Regularly check your home for any signs of entry, such as gaps or holes near the roof or under-hangs. Also, pay attention to any odd smells or marks that could indicate animal presence.

There are several measures homeowners can take to protect their properties from unwanted wildlife. Ensuring trash bins are securely closed and keeping the area around the home free of debris can help. Trimming or removing large trees and shrubs close to your house can also deter animals from using them to get onto your roof. It's best to feed pets indoors; if you must feed them outside, remove any leftover food promptly to avoid attracting animals. Finally, make sure to seal any potential entry points into your home or building.

Damage from wildlife can pose significant risks to property owners. Chewed wires may lead to fires, while bats and birds can spread dangerous viruses. Larger animals, like raccoons, can cause severe damage to roofs and overhangs. It's important for property owners to reach out to a trusted wildlife removal service, such as Critter Control, at the first indication of animal presence.
