Jul 6, 2026 | Pest Control News

Have you seen signs of raccoons in the attic or squirrels scampering about your Wilmington home? Maybe you’ve noticed sounds of scurrying in the walls, or droppings in the kitchen. If you realize you need animal removal services, here’s the challenge: You want to get rid of nuisance animals to avoid costly property damage and to keep your family safe. At the same time, you want to do as little harm to the animals as possible.

There’s a solution that meets all these criteria to give you peace of mind–humane wildlife removal that focuses on keeping animals out of your home—permanently.

Why North Wilmington residents need wildlife control services

Did you know that Middlesex County ranked #12 in American counties with the worst rodent problems for 2025? Hopefully, your home isn’t one of the 15% that have rodents. However, don’t be surprised if you find yourself needing a rodent control service. After all, think of all the ways animals can enter your home—attic vents, roofline gaps, chimney caps, foundation weaknesses and more.

As experts in North Wilmington wildlife control, Best Known Pest & Wildlife handles humane wildlife removal situations, including:

  • Raccoons nesting in attics or chimneys
  • Squirrels and rodents chewing through walls or wiring

The process for safe animal removal with Best Known Pest & Wildlife

You may wonder what it’s like to have Best Known Pest & Wildlife help with your animal control problem. While every situation is different, our preferred approach to animal control is exclusion. This means keeping animals from entering the home by sealing all entry points.

Here’s an example of how we would remove squirrels or raccoons:

  1. Schedule an in-person inspection and consultation with you. This includes a thorough evaluation of entry points along the foundation and roofline, as well as an inspection of the basement and attic.
  2. Determine factors such as your home’s age, pest entry points, and the issues the customer has reported.
  3. Identify the specific pests, determine the necessary materials and establish an action plan.
  4. Provide detailed recommendations and repairs to seal all compromised and potential entry areas.
  5. Determine and implement the best exclusion method. For squirrels, a common method is installing one-way exclusion doors. These enable the animals to leave your home the way they came in. For raccoons, we may use reunion boxes so mothers and babies can stay together. Another option is eviction fluid, a specialized scent-based repellent designed to encourage the mother to move their young from attics or chimneys.

While trapping is sometimes necessary, it’s not always the safest solution for the animal. While we are licensed for trapping in Massachusetts, we prefer exclusion over other options.

Our comprehensive approach, checking everything from the foundation to the ridge vents, is how we ensure a complete and lasting solution.
