Wildlife Control Services

Serving St. Louis | St Charles | Belleville | Edwardsville | Champaign

Here in St. Louis, weโ€™re no strangers to encountering local wildlife around our homes and businesses. While many animals you spot outdoors are harmless and even charming, some species crossing into your property can quickly become a real headache. These uninvited guests donโ€™t just cause damage, they can also carry diseases that pose serious risks to your family and pets. If youโ€™re noticing signs of unwanted wildlife, itโ€™s important to get help from a professional who understands humane removal and long-term prevention. Thatโ€™s where Bug Out comes in. We specialize in wildlife control solutions that combine safe removal and smart exclusion techniques to keep your property secure.

No wild animal belongs inside your home. Whether itโ€™s raccoons squeezing into your attic or opossums taking up residence under your porch, the damage they cause can add up fast, think torn insulation, chewed wiring, and contaminated areas that insurance often wonโ€™t cover. Plus, these critters can bring fleas, ticks, and diseases that threaten your householdโ€™s health. If wildlife has made your property their home, donโ€™t wait. Contact the experts at Bug Out for a thorough inspection and a tailored plan to remove them safely and keep them out for good.

Why Wildlife in Your Home Is a Serious Concern

Wild animals are unpredictable, especially when trapped in unfamiliar spaces like your attic or crawlspace.

Here are some of the risks you should be aware of:

  • Health Hazards: Many animals carry illnesses such as rabies, salmonella, hantavirus, and parasites that can affect humans and pets alike.ย ย 
  • Property Damage: Wildlife often chew through electrical wires, creating a dangerous fire risk. They tear up insulation and can cause structural damage thatโ€™s expensive to repair.ย ย 
  • Contamination: Their droppings not only smell bad but also create serious health risks.ย 
  • Secondary Infestations: Fleas, ticks, and other pests often hitch a ride with these animals, and if an animal dies inside your home, the decaying body attracts even more pests.

How Our Wildlife Control Process Works

Our experienced team at Bug Out uses proven methods to ensure your home is protected for the long haul:ย ย 

  1. Detailed Inspection: We start with a careful walkthrough to identify wildlife entry points, assess damage, and determine which species are causing trouble.ย ย 
  2. Humane Removal: Using safe, humane trapping techniques, we remove any animals currently inside your property.ย 
  3. Exclusion Services: Next, we seal up all possible points of entry (from foundation cracks to roofline gaps) using state-of-the-art tools and materials. This step is key to preventing future wildlife problems.

Why Exclusion Is Just as Important as Removal

Trapping and removing wildlife solves the immediate issue, but without proper exclusion, the problem often comes back. Securing your home against unwelcome visitors is the smartest, most cost-effective strategy to avoid repeat infestations. Professional exclusion services:ย ย

Bug Out Reviews

Have used this pest control service for several years. Very rarely have an insect problem, but when I do, Bug Out comes immediately and addresses the issue! They have helped with ground wasps, pantry moths, sink flies, pantry moths, field mice, and roaches as needed over several years. As my regular ongoing service, they are also great. Highly recommend.
