Wildlife Problems in Novi, MI

Due to its proximity to many parks and lakes, Novi, MI, is a popular home for both people and animals. Urban sprawl drives nuisance wildlife into the city looking for food, water, and shelter. As a result, pests like bats, squirrels, and raccoons are a problem for residents.

Bat Removal

Although bats in Novi help reduce insect populations, they also cause issues for homeowners. A bat can enter a house through torn siding or tiny crevices near eaves or vents. Once inside, the animals may roost in wall voids as well as attics. Sealing gaps in soffits or fascia boards and ensuring vents are screened and in good repair are the best ways to prevent infestation.

Squirrel Removal and Damage Repair

Squirrels actively search Michigan yards and parks for food. The pests dine on nuts and seeds, often storing meals in underground caches to eat later. These holes can ruin the look of landscaping and flowerbeds. A squirrel may also host fleas, ticks, and lice, which can spread into the house if the rodents make their way indoors.

Troublesome Raccoon Control

Novi homeowners may see raccoons scouring backyards for grubs and other insects. These pests also forage in trash bins and dumpsters, often leaving debris scattered across lawns and driveways. Residents should never attempt to capture these animals, as a raccoon infected with the rabies virus can transmit the disease through bites or scratches.

Additional Michigan Animal Control

While typically harmless, residents may encounter opossums nesting beneath porches or decks. Well-adapted to living near people, the animals find meals in garbage cans and outdoor pet dishes. If cornered, an opossum may defend itself by hissing, biting, or scratching.

Another wildlife nuisance in Novi is the Norway rat. Urban areas provide rats with easy access to shelter and food. The pests invade pantries and kitchens, contaminating dry goods with droppings. Norway rats also damage property by gnawing on wood and wiring as well as ripping up and soiling insulation.

This company has been great. The technician Kensi was very through and checked everywhere to make sure all access points were found. After a skunk was found in the trap on a Saturday morning they came to pick it up very quickly.

So when I went to have my insulation replaced I figured out that I had a critter problem that was beyond anything I was aware of. Not wanting to waste time I decided to call a professional and these guys were really good from day one. From the gentleman who gave the estimate to both of the guys that came out and did the work there was great communication and they were very effective at what they did. One little thing got missed and all it took was one text message and somebody was out the next day to take care of it. They always text me when they're on their way or going to be at the house and they let me know what they found along with photographs. My first thought when they gave me the quote was wow that was a lot of money and I didn't want to spend that much and now that I've had them do the service I feel like it's worth every penny and it's actually pretty damn reasonable considering the number of times that they come out and all the things that they do take care of.

I had an issue with squirrels getting into a small section of roofing without access from the attic or inside of the home. Critter control was a huge help in solving the issue, especially thanks to Brandon and Nate. Ended up catching 3 squirrels living in the roof plus they seal the entrance point after all is said and done. I would absolutely recommend critter control, Brandon and Nate did a stellar job.

Dominick was very friendly and he consistently put on his shoe covers each time he entered the house. He looked over every inch of the storage room where we thought the animal was and did a walk around the yard to see if there was evidence of entry. He was very thorough. He did not find any animal at that time. He said he would leave a trap and review the outside area of the house over the next week. It was the next day that the smell in our storage room indicated that the animal had died. We followed the small and discovered a dead bird in an open storage bin. I would highly recommend Dominick for 'Critter Control'. Thank you, Valerie

your representative (Dominic) was very friendly and quickly removed the dying raccoon from our outdoor window-well. He also shared information with us regarding raccoons on their behavior, what they liked/disliked, and provided information on how to disinfect the area the raccoon had been trapped in for a couple of days. I'd rate him 9 stars if I could. -pja
