Lake Norman Wildlife Removal Services
Trutech Wildlife Service has been helping both homeowners and commercial businesses protect property and public health from nuisance wildlife for decades. With a focus on the best customer experience possible, we work efficiently to protect properties from unwelcome wildlife.
Step 1: Inspection
When a Trutech technician arrives at your home, we will start by asking questions about your experience with the nuisance wildlife at hand.
Once we have a firm grasp on the issues facing the property owner, a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of the home begins. This includes looking at the attic, crawlspace, roof, and any possible entry points.
Since each species and home is different, the length of the inspection can vary. It can take between 30 minutes to 3 hours to accurately evaluate the extent of the wildlife nuisance issue.
Step 2: Animal Trapping and Wildlife Removal
With the results of the inspection, we share our findings with you. And share how we will solve the problem for you.
Although each wildlife control plan is unique to the home, it may include live trapping, direct capture, one-way doors, or deterrents.
Before any work begins, we make sure that you are comfortable with the steps being taken to resolve the nuisance wildlife issue.
Step 3: Wildlife Control
If you approve of the plan, we will set up a time to start the wildlife removal process. After the animal removal has taken place, we will repair any damage caused by the critter. Additionally, we will apply sanitizing and ectoparasite agents to the affected areas. Once the plan is executed, your home will be returned to its original condition.
Step 4: Full Home Exclusions
Wildlife removal is just one part of the plan. Many plans include wildlife control measures to prevent any future problems. This is often completed by installing a full home exclusion. The goal is to create physical barriers to prevent animals from entering your home in the future.
A few possible exclusion techniques include gable vents, ridge vents, crawlspace vents, roof returns, and plumbing stacks. With the appropriate exclusions in place, you can rest easy knowing that a long-term solution is in place to protect your home from nuisance wildlife.
Guarantee and Warranty
Once installed, Trutech offers a one-year warranty on full home exclusions. Plus, there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you aren’t satisfied with the initial work, Trutech will send out a service manager to inspect the work completed and make any necessary adjustments.

Pest and Wildlife Services
Squirrel Removal
Property owners may discover bats roosting in attics, using these shelters to give birth. The mating season in North Carolina is from May 1 to July 31. During that time, it is illegal for residents to remove bats.
The most humane method of bat removal is to install a bat valve and perform a whole home exclusion. Once the pups can survive and fly on their own, we can start bat removal.
Bats can leave through the valve but not return. It usually takes 3-7 days to have a bat-free attic. Once all bats are gone, we remove the bat valve and seal the entire home.
Raccoon Removal
A raccoon can get into your house at any time of year. You are most likely to have a raccoon during the breeding season (February-June).
Raccoons can wreak havoc trying to gain entry to your home and cause significant damage creating a den in your attic. You’ll most likely hear a loud thumbing at night if you have an attic.
Live trapping is the most common raccoon removal technique. When juveniles are present, the use of repellents can be effective. Exclusion techniques include securing food sources and closing any entry points.
Squirrel Removal
Five species of tree squirrels call North Carolina home. If you have squirrels in your home, it is most likely the Eastern Gray Squirrel or flying squirrel. If you hear scratching noises that start early in the morning, it is likely a squirrel.
Pest squirrels damage your home by constantly gnawing, building nests, and leaving their droppings.
To effectively remove squirrels, the wildlife technician will employ a variety of tactics such as cage trapping, one-way doors, deterrents, and direct capture.

Bird Control Services
The most common nuisance birds in Rock Hill are crows, pigeons, red-winged blackbirds, starlings, and woodpeckers. Birds can be noisy, messy, and destructive. Effective bird control depends on species and legalities. Of the 475 wild bird species in North Carolina, only non-native birds to North America like pigeons, starlings, and house sparrows can legally be caught and trapped.
Effective bird control includes habitat modification, exclusions, repellents, and trapping. Trapping birds are difficult; prevention and exclusion are much more effective to get rid of nuisance birds.
Stinging Insect Removal
We specialize in professional stinging insect control to ensure your property is safe from the dangers posed by wasps, hornets, bees, and other stinging insects. Our expert team is trained to identify nests, safely remove them, and implement preventative measures to reduce the risk of re-infestation. We use eco-friendly methods to relocate beneficial insects like honeybees, while effectively managing more aggressive species. Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities. Contact us today for a thorough inspection and customized stinging insect control plan.
Rat Control
A mouse or rat infestation can damage your home and harm your health. Rats like all rodents constantly gnaw and will gnaw on anything it can sink their teeth into. Rats can spread a variety of diseases.
To effectively get rid of rodents you need to control the population. Female rats can have six litters in one year. The wildlife technician will determine the best type of trap, placement of trap, and the best bait to use.
The standard trapping duration is normally 5-14 days. Rats leave pheromone trails that other rats can follow into your home. It is essential to repair entry points and reinforce potential entry points to keep rats out.
Snake Control
Generally, the most harm snakes inflict is scaring someone. Out of the thirty-eight snake species in North Carolina, only six are venomous.
Most commonly, snakes enter your home searching for food. A snake in your home is a sign you have a rodent infestation. During the inspection, we look for signs of rodents. We can solve your snake and rodent problems.
Opossum Control
Opossums are not prone to aggression. They pose the greatest threat to your garden, but they will eat almost anything. Opossums do carry diseases so do not approach them haphazardly. Opossums will also look for safe nesting areas under decks, inside garages, or under foundations. Sealing ground-level entrances and burying wire mesh are effective ways to exclude opossums.
Moles & Groundhogs
Homeowners can find moles, voles, or groundhogs digging up their yards. Moles, voles, and groundhogs make different-sized holes and mounds. That is the easiest way to identify them.
Traps can effectively control these animals, but they are elusive. Fencing around landscaping and gardens is an effective exclusion tactic.

Service Areas
Just North of Charlotte, the cities around Lake Norman are quickly developing. Homeowners around Lake Norman, NC, encounter various pest and nuisance wildlife problems due to the region’s mix of suburban environments, wooded areas, and proximity to water.
Homeowners should expect to run into the most wildlife issues throughout the spring and fall. That’s because animals are actively having babies and getting ready for winter. Hot summer days will usually keep wildlife out of the attic for the warmest parts of the year. But the cool winter months can drive animals towards the warm and dry shelter or your home.
After all, animals need shelter and food too! But unfortunately, wild animals are not helpful house guests. Depending on the critter in question, you may face extensive property damage or potential health hazards. So, if you encounter any wildlife in your home, it’s time to call in the Trutech professionals. We can help you remove the animals humanely and critter-proof your home for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no one-size-fits-all solution; each job requires a custom approach. We inspect every home and build a custom plan to resolve any wildlife problems. We use a variety of techniques including cage traps, direct capture, one-way valves, and deterrents. Exclusion techniques are the most effective way to get rid of animals.
We provide customized solutions to each individual customer so that we may solve the issue as quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively as possible. The size of the house, type of animal, number of nuisance animals, and length of time of infestation affect the estimated price of wildlife removal.
An estimate may change based on the amount of animal activity or work needed to be done. All estimates are finalized with an exact price before any work begins.
Our goal is to remove any wildlife as humanely as possible — often that means catching and releasing the animal.
Trutech® does not hire subcontractors for animal removal services. We employ expert technicians who are provided ongoing education and training in all aspects of animal control and removal. Many of our technicians hold degrees in Wildlife Biology, Entomology (insects), Ornithology (birds) or Herpetology (reptiles), some with Masters degrees in their specialty field.
Yes! We are licensed and insured.
We start by first removing the wildlife on your property, and cleaning up any damage. From there we’ll work with you to create a customized prevention plan so you won’t have the same issue again.
Typically an animal dies in your home because it became trapped in a hard-to-reach and hidden area. Our expert technicians have the experience and knowledge to find it and then safely remove the carcass from your home.
Our Wildlife Technicians use a pet-safe odor eliminator made of natural organisms and enzymes that consume decaying organic odor-causing matter, eliminating the source of the lingering odor. We use aerosols, oxidizing agents, foggers, and disinfectants with germicides to deodorize until nature completes this task for you.
You should consider a full home exclusion after the smell has been neutralized. Nuisance wildlife found its way into your house once. That entrance leaves your home vulnerable to future animal infestations. Full home exclusions are the most effective form of wildlife control.
