Wildlife Control Frequently Asked Questions

When you discover signs of wildlife in or around your home, it is normal to have questions. You may not know what type of animal is present, how it entered, whether trapping is necessary, or what should happen after the animal is gone.


At Krafty Critter Services, we provide wildlife and animal control in Beaufort, SC and surrounding communities within approximately a 50-mile radius. Our three-person local team has served the area since 2014, providing animal exclusion, wildlife and animal trapping, dead animal recovery, animal bio cleanup, and rodent control.



Below are answers to common questions homeowners may have before contacting us.

What Types of Animals Do You Handle?

We provide wildlife and animal control services for problems involving rats, mice, bats, raccoons, coyotes, squirrels, armadillos, possums, and other nuisance wildlife.

The right approach depends on the animal involved, where it is active, and the conditions at the property.

If you do not know what animal is causing the problem, you can still call us. Tell us about the signs you have noticed, such as noises, droppings, digging, odors, damage, or sightings.


What Are Common Signs of a Wildlife Problem?

Sometimes an animal is easy to see. Other wildlife problems are discovered through the evidence animals leave behind.

Possible signs include scratching or scurrying noises, droppings, nesting materials, gnawing, unusual odors, digging, or repeated animal sightings around the property.

You might also notice activity near a roofline, attic, crawl space, garage, or another protected area.

If something seems unusual, our team can discuss what you have observed and determine the appropriate next step.


What Is Animal Exclusion?

Animal exclusion focuses on potential entry points that wildlife may use to get into a home.

If an animal has entered through a gap, vent, exterior penetration, roofline area, or another vulnerable location, addressing the active animal alone may not resolve the access problem.

Our exclusion services focus on identifying and addressing applicable entry points. Depending on the circumstances, exclusion may be recommended along with trapping or rodent control.


Do You Provide Wildlife & Animal Trapping?

Yes. Wildlife and animal trapping is one of our primary services.

We work with problems involving animals such as rats, mice, bats, raccoons, coyotes, squirrels, armadillos, and possums. The appropriate wildlife control method depends on the species and situation.

We evaluate the circumstances rather than assuming every animal problem requires exactly the same approach.


Do You Provide Rodent Control?

Yes. We provide rodent removal and control for rats and mice.

Rodents can take advantage of small openings and may establish activity in attics, crawl spaces, garages, walls, and other sheltered locations. Signs can include scratching, droppings, gnawing, nesting material, or actual sightings.

Our rodent control approach may involve removal or trapping as well as evaluation of potential entry points.


Can You Help Prevent Animals From Getting Back Inside?

Animal exclusion can help address potential access points wildlife may use to enter a structure.

When an animal gets into a home, it is important to consider how that intrusion happened. Depending on the property and wildlife involved, our team can evaluate possible entry areas and recommend appropriate exclusion work.


Do You Remove Dead Animals?

Yes. We provide dead animal recovery when animal remains can be located and accessed.

Homeowners may first suspect a dead animal because of a persistent unexplained odor. In other cases, there may have been animal activity that suddenly stopped.

If you believe an animal has died in or around your home, contact us and describe what you have noticed.


Do You Provide Cleanup After Wildlife Activity?

Yes. We offer animal bio cleanup for areas affected by wildlife activity.

Animals can leave droppings, nesting material, waste, and other biological contamination behind. Cleanup may be appropriate following rodent activity, animal removal, or dead animal recovery.

We evaluate the affected area and determine what type of cleanup service is appropriate for the circumstances.
