Live Animal Removal
When an animal is inside, we can help.
Wildlife removal starts with identifying the species, where it is living or entering, and the safest practical way to resolve the situation. When needed, exclusion and repair address the condition that allowed the problem to happen.
THE PROCESS
Our Removal Process
A clear process keeps the work focused on the cause, not only the symptom.
Remove
Use direct capture, one-way exclusion, trapping or another lawful species-appropriate method.
Inspect
Check for additional activity, damage and visible entry points connected to the conflict.
Prevent
Recommend exclusion or repair when the structure remains vulnerable to repeat access.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Maine nuisance wildlife, handled appropriately
Common Species
Raccoons, gray/red/flying squirrels, skunks, groundhogs, opossums and other authorized Maine nuisance wildlife.
Species-Appropriate Methods
Bats are generally resolved through exclusion rather than trapping. Birds, dependent young and protected species require additional timing and legal considerations.
Clear Scope
Mice and rats are outside our service scope. The accepted quote identifies exactly what removal, trapping, exclusion or repair is included.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Helpful things to know
Do you handle mice or rats?
No. Mice and rats are outside Turcotte’s service scope.
Can you remove an animal from a living space?
When the animal is safely accessible and the situation is appropriate, direct removal may be possible. Access, species, exposure risk and building conditions determine the method.
Will the animal come back?
Removal alone may not correct the cause. If the structure still has an active opening, exclusion or repair is often the long-term part of the solution.
