Oakland County's Experienced Wildlife Removal Company
When wild animals invade your attic, crawlspace, or walls, they do more than disturb the peace—they contaminate insulation, chew through electrical wires, and tear open soffits. Serving Southeast Michigan for five decades, A & D Animal Control provides precise diagnostic inspections, humane capture, and permanent prevention.
We hold the oldest active wildlife-control permit in the State of Michigan. Our certified technicians understand the distinct construction patterns, seasonal wildlife cycles, and entry behaviors across Oakland County communities.

Targeted Animal Control
Wildlife Removal Services in Oakland County
Every species requires specialized handling, biology-specific trapping strategies, and customized exclusion methods to ensure they do not return.
Raccoon Removal
Raccoons frequently rip through soffits, roof vents, and fascia boards to nest in warm attic insulation. Our technicians trap adult raccoons humanely, safely extract litters of cubs, and sanitize soiled attic space.

Squirrel Removal
Gray, red, and flying squirrels gnaw on electrical wiring, siding, and wood rafters. We employ one-way exclusion funnels and specialized trapping systems to rid your structure of active colonies permanently.

Bat Removal
Bats enter through openings as narrow as 3/8-inch, leaving behind hazardous guano. We perform state-compliant, humane bat cone evictions and structural sealing that guarantees bats cannot re-enter.

Skunk Removal
Skunks burrow under porches, decks, concrete pads, and crawlspaces, posing pungent odor and rabies risks. We use odor-controlled live capture cages and trench-barrier exclusions to keep your yard secure.

Rodent Control
Mice and rats multiply rapidly inside wall voids and kitchens. Our program eliminates active rodents and seals foundation gaps, pipe penetrations, and garage seal thresholds without dangerous open poisons.

Groundhog & Woodchuck Removal
Groundhog tunnels undermine patio slabs, retaining walls, sheds, and home foundations. We safely trap resident woodchucks and install heavy-duty steel wire skirting to prevent future burrowing under outbuildings.

Guaranteed Prevention
Wildlife Exclusion & Animal Entry Point Repair
Trapping without repair is only a temporary fix. Animals leave pheromone scent trails that attract new critters directly to the same weak spot. Complete wildlife control requires physical exclusion using commercial-grade steel materials.
Our Comprehensive Structural Exclusion Checklist:
• Roof, soffit, and fascia gaps
• Damaged attic vents & louvers
• Fascia and roof intersections
• Chimney flues and brick crowns
• Architectural construction gaps
• Deck, porch & crawlspace skirts

Recognize the Warning Signs
Wildlife Problems in Attics, Walls & Homes
Unexplained noises in your ceiling or crawlspace should never be ignored. Animals reproduce quickly, soil attic insulation with parasite-bearing droppings, and chew electrical wires down to bare copper.
Auditory & Structural Indicators
• Scratching, scurrying, or thumping in ceilings at dawn or dusk
• Heavy footsteps or rustling sounds trapped inside wall cavities
• Splintered wood, chewed wires, or bent aluminum louvers
• Sagging, shredded, or displaced fiberglass insulation batts
Visual & Environmental Evidence
• Distinct foul odors, ammonia smells, or unexplained ceiling stains
• Accumulations of droppings, guano, or soiled nesting clusters
• Deep burrows along foundations, steps, retaining walls, or lawns
• Smudge marks along exterior siding or repeated roofline entry
Early intervention prevents thousands of dollars in restoration and insulation re-blowing expenses.
