Charleston has a humid subtropical climate, with mild winters, hot, humid summers, and significant rainfall all year long. Summers are typically hot with high humidity. Each season brings about unique problems for homeowners. For example, the cooler months will bring squirrels, opossums, raccoons, and rats or mice into a homeowner's attic, crawlspace, or basement, where they will birth their young.

In the warmer months, bees or yellow jackets will make an appearance and will need to be removed from trees, walls, and other structures. Also, snakes will be seen more often in yards and in some cases, even inside homes. Also in the warmer months, you may experience an influx of problems with moles, voles, skunks, or ground hogs. With some of the older structures having cracks and crevices, bats will often find shelter in attics and will also need to be removed, as well as their guano and ectoparasites.

In any case, whatever wildlife removal problem arises, call Trutech at (843) 571-1819!
