Back To The Wild: Your Local, Humane Wildlife Control Solution
Welcome to Back To The Wild, an independently owned and operated company dedicated to humane wildlife control and prevention. We believe that when animals wander into our homes or businesses, they deserve a respectful, compassionate approach that protects both you and the animal—while restoring balance to the environment we all share.

What Is Wildlife Control?
Wildlife control is the process of safely and ethically addressing conflicts between humans and wild animals. When raccoons nest in your attic, squirrels gnaw at your roof, or skunks burrow under your porch, these creatures can cause damage and pose health risks. Effective wildlife control involves a thorough inspection, the humane removal of the animals, and strategic measures—like sealing entry points and removing food sources—to prevent future problems. Throughout this process, Back To The Wild remains committed to ensuring the well-being of the wildlife involved, relocating them to suitable habitats whenever possible.

How We Do It

Inspection & Assessment – We begin every job by carefully inspecting your property to identify the specific wildlife issue and any potential vulnerabilities.
Humane Removal – Once we know what we’re dealing with, we use non-lethal, compassionate methods to remove or relocate the animals without causing harm.
Prevention & Exclusion – After the wildlife is safely removed, we seal entry points and recommend simple habitat modifications—like securing garbage bins or trimming branches—to deter re-entry.
Follow-Up & Education – We check back to ensure your home remains wildlife-free, and provide tips so you can coexist with the natural world in a safe and balanced way.

By choosing Back To The Wild, you’re partnering with a local, independently owned company that puts people, animals, and the environment first. We are passionate about what we do and take pride in offering a personal touch that larger franchises often overlook. Contact us today to experience wildlife control done the right way—where compassionate expertise meets your peace of mind.

Raccoons

Raccoons are intelligent, nocturnal mammals recognized by their distinctive facial mask and ringed tail. They can become pests when they raid garbage cans, enter attics, or damage property in search of shelter and food. Pest control measures typically involve securing trash containers, sealing entry points, and employing humane trapping or professional wildlife removal services if necessary.

Skunks

Skunks are small to medium-sized mammals recognized by their distinctive black-and-white markings and their potent defensive spray. They often forage in human habitats, rummaging through garbage and gardens for food. Pest control typically involves removing food sources, sealing entry points, and using humane traps or deterrents to prevent skunks from nesting near homes.

Bats

Bats are winged mammals that typically feed on insects, playing a vital role in controlling pest populations. They often roost in attics, barns, or caves, and can become a nuisance when droppings accumulate and noise disturbs occupants. Pest control involves sealing entry points, safely excluding bats through one-way vents or netting, and cleaning affected areas to maintain hygiene.

Birds

Birds are warm-blooded vertebrates with feathers and wings, found in diverse environments worldwide. While many bird species benefit ecosystems by pollinating plants and controlling insects, some can become pests when they nest in buildings, damage crops, or create noise and droppings. Pest control often involves humane deterrents like netting, spikes, or scare tactics, as well as sealing entry points to prevent roosting or nesting.

Opossum

Opossums are nocturnal marsupials characterized by their pointed snout and prehensile tail, often seen scavenging for food. They can become a nuisance when they take shelter under porches or in attics, potentially causing noise and mess. Pest control typically involves removing attractants (such as pet food), sealing entry points, and using humane live traps or professional wildlife relocation services.

Squirrels

Squirrels are agile, bushy-tailed rodents often found in urban and suburban areas, known for their acrobatic leaps and persistent search for food. They can become a nuisance when they invade homes or attics, causing noise, chewing on wiring, and creating potential fire hazards. Pest control measures typically include sealing entry points, setting humane traps, and eliminating food sources to discourage squirrels from nesting or feeding around properties.
