Our Proven Approach

Skunk Removal & Prevention

Skunks can spray a sulfur-rich fluid up to 3 m, with the odor lingering on surfaces and in fur for days—sometimes carried by wind for miles.

Risks

  • Rabies risk: May transmit rabies through bites or scratches — spray itself is not a vector.
  • Spray effects: Causes eye irritation, nausea, and can temporarily remove pets’ natural scent.

DIY Tips

  • Deter naturally: Use citrus peels, an ammonia-water solution, or predator scents around yard edges.
  • Seal off dens: Block access under decks and garden sheds using hardware cloth or mesh.

Control Methods

  • Use humane live traps: Trained professionals ensure safe, legal removal and relocation.
  • Neutralize odor: Mix 1 qt 3% hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup baking soda, and 1 tsp dish soap; apply gently.
  • Post-removal: Restore soil and close access points to prevent return.

Squirrels in Attics & Wiring

Tree squirrels gnaw continually to keep their teeth sharp and often chew wires and insulation. They need gaps as small as a baseball to enter attics.

Risks

  • Chewed wiring leads to short circuits, power outages, and multiple fire risks.
  • Nesting materials and droppings attract mites and create odors or allergens.

DIY Tips

  • Trim branches ≄2 m (6 ft) from the house to prevent roof access.
  • Seal attic vents and roof entry points with metal flashing, wire mesh, and chimney caps.
  • Use natural scent deterrents like peppermint oil or place pet fur in attics.

Control Methods

  • Use one-way exclusion doors—allow squirrels to exit but block re–entry.
  • Set live traps baited with peanut butter or nuts; check daily per local regs.
  • After removal: clean nesting materials, disinfect, and inspect all wiring and insulation for damage.

Raccoon Control & Cleanup

Raccoons are strong, nocturnal omnivores that often invade attics or chimneys seeking shelter.

Risks

  • Can carry rabies and roundworms; may become aggressive when cornered.
  • Their waste can contaminate spaces and damage insulation.

DIY Tips

  • Secure garbage bins and remove pet food.
  • Install chimney caps and screen windows/vents with durable mesh.

Risks

  • Burrowing damages foundations, gardens, and can cause sinkholes.
  • Herbivorous feeding habits can rob gardens of veggies and flowers.

DIY Tips

  • Install wire fence booby traps with buried apron fencing.
  • Use motion-activated sprinklers or predator urine to deter them.

Control Methods

  • Live-trapping and relocation.
  • Fill burrows and replant with deterrent ground covers (e.g., ornamental shrubs).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do groundhogs hibernate?

Yes—refill with soil and monitor for re-digging. Use wire barriers under entrances.
Our Proven Approach

Opossum Yard & Garden Control

Opossums are nocturnal, opportunistic scavengers often found in yards eating insects, fallen fruit, and pet food.

Risks

  • Generally harmless, but may carry fleas, ticks, and occasionally spread leptospirosis.

DIY Tips

  • Remove food sources, properly secure bins, elevate pet dishes, remove brush piles.
  • Use ammonia or predator scent around garden edges as a non-harmful deterrent.

Control Methods

  • Live-capture in covered traps; relocate per local wildlife rules.
  • Exclude access under porches by sealing gaps and crawlspaces with hardware cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are they beneficial?
Yes—they eat pests like ticks and rats—exclusion is recommended rather than elimination.
Rarely—opossums usually feign death. Keep pets supervised if venturing outside.

We had a persistent mice infestation at our agricultural farm and contacted this Rapid pest control company for help. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Imran, was amazing, he responded quickly, arrived on time, and provided a thorough and effective rodent control treatment. His expertise in mice extermination was evident, and he ensured every potential entry point was addressed. Since the mouse control service, we haven’t had a single issue, our farm has been completely rodent-free. We are extremely satisfied with the results. If you’re looking for commercial pest control services, especially for mice or rodent problems, this company is highly recommended. Reliable, fast, and truly professional, thank you, Imran, for doing such a great job!

We have used Rapid Pest Control more than once. Imran has always been quick, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Imran has even come to view unidentified ā€œdroppingsā€ at my home and eased my mind when he discovered their origin. I would highly recommend the services of Rapid Pest Control.
