Common Wildlife Issues in Appleton, Wisconsin

Homes in Appleton experience a wide range of wildlife problems, especially during seasonal changes. Some of the most frequent issues we address include:


  • Raccoons nesting in attics or garages
  • Squirrels chewing through rooflines and vents
  • Mice and rats entering basements, crawlspaces, and walls
  • Bats roosting in attics or soffits
  • Skunks burrowing beneath decks
  • Opossums seeking shelter under porches or sheds
  • Chipmunks tunneling near foundation areas


If you’ve heard scratching, crawling, or chirping inside your home—or noticed droppings, torn insulation, or damaged siding—you may have recent wildlife activity.

Appleton Wildlife Inspection & Assessment

Every service begins with a detailed inspection. We examine:


  • Attics
  • Rooflines
  • Vent openings
  • Soffits and fascia
  • Basements and crawlspaces
  • Garages
  • Foundation edges
  • Exterior gaps and utility entry points


Our technicians determine what species is present, how it entered, and what damage has been caused. This allows us to create a complete wildlife removal and exclusion plan tailored to your property.

Humane Wildlife Removal Services

We use safe, humane methods to remove wildlife from your home. Depending on the species and location, this may include:



  • One-way exclusion systems
  • Live trapping when required
  • Relocation (when permitted under WI regulations)
  • Safe removal of nesting materials


Our goal is always to remove wildlife without stress to the animal and without harm to your home, following all Wisconsin DNR guidelines.

Signs You Have a Wildlife Problem

Many animals hide during the day and are active at night, making it difficult to detect them immediately. If you notice any of these signs, you likely have wildlife on your property:


✔ Strange Noises – Scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds in the walls, attic, or under floors.
✔ Droppings or Urine Stains – Feces and urine can be found in crawl spaces, attics, and garages.
✔ Gnawed Wires or Wood – Rodents and squirrels chew through materials, creating fire hazards.
✔ Foul Odors – Skunks, raccoons, and decomposing animals can create persistent bad smells.
✔ Tracks or Nesting Materials – Animals leave tracks, fur, and nesting materials in hidden areas.
✔ Yard Damage – Holes, tunnels, and burrows in lawns, gardens, or near foundations.


If you suspect wildlife is invading your home or business, don’t wait until the problem worsens.

FAQs – Wildlife Removal in Appleton, WI

How do I know if there are animals in my attic?

Common signs include scratching or scurrying noises, strange odors, and droppings. If you hear movement in your attic at night, you may have raccoons, squirrels, or bats.


Can I remove wildlife on my own?

Attempting to trap or remove wild animals yourself can be dangerous and illegal. Many species, like bats and raccoons, require licensed removal by professionals.


What happens to the animals after they are trapped?

We follow state laws for humane wildlife relocation when applicable. If an animal must be euthanized due to disease risks (such as rabies), we do so in accordance with DNR regulations.


How can I keep wildlife away from my home?

✔ Seal entry points (chimneys, vents, crawl spaces).
✔ Keep garbage secured in wildlife-proof bins.
✔ Trim trees and shrubs near your home.
✔ Install motion-activated lights to deter nocturnal animals.
