Common Signs of a Wildlife Infestation

Wildlife infestations can create significant property damage and pose health risks. Spotting the signs early helps prevent major issues. 

Here are some key indicators:

  • Strange noises: Scratching, scurrying, or thumping sounds in your attic, walls, or crawlspaces, especially at night.
  • Foul odors: Persistent urine or fecal smells may signal an infestation, particularly from rodents or raccoons.
  • Droppings and tracks: Animal waste or footprints near entry points like doors, windows, or vents.
  • Property damage: Chewed wires, insulation damage, or holes in siding and roofing.
  • Increased pest activity: Fleas, ticks, or other parasites may signal a hidden wildlife issue.

If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional wildlife removal service before the problem worsens.

How to Prevent Future Wildlife Intrusions

After wildlife has been removed from your home, proactive steps can help prevent their return. 

Here’s how you can protect your property:

Secure Entry Points

  • Seal cracks and gaps in your foundation, siding, and roof.
  • Install chimney caps and vent covers to block access.
  • Use sturdy screens on windows and doors.

In Broward County, homes often have older vents or roofing systems that make it easier for persistent wildlife to get in. Regularly inspect these areas, especially after major storms that can create new entry points for animals. Our team can help identify potential trouble spots during your service visit and recommend improvements for homes exposed to Fort Lauderdale’s subtropical weather.

Eliminate Attractants

  • Keep garbage cans tightly sealed to prevent raccoon activity.
  • Store pet food indoors and clean up food scraps promptly.
  • Trim tree branches away from your roof to reduce access points.

Maintain Your Yard

  • Remove piles of wood, leaves, and other debris that could serve as nesting sites.
  • Keep grass trimmed and shrubbery well-maintained.
  • By following these steps, you can reduce the chances of wildlife reinfestation and maintain a safe, pest-free home.

Protect Your Home and Family with Professional Wildlife Control

Wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and bats can carry diseases or create dangerous situations. Our team at Hoffer Pest Solutions will safely and humanely remove unwanted animals from your home.

Comprehensive Home Inspection for Effective Animal Control

The key to solving your animal control problems is understanding exactly what is happening at your home. We start all animal control treatments with a thorough inspection. 

During the inspection, we check more than just obvious entry points. Our team evaluates attic spaces, soffit lines, garages, crawlspaces, and gaps often found in Florida block construction. This approach helps spot every possible access point, saving homeowners time and money. The process also includes areas in humid, subtropical environments—like vent stacks or utility closets—that local wildlife use for shelter or nesting.

One of our trained technicians will come to your home and inspect the area around your house for signs of animal activity. Then, we place humane traps to capture any animals that may be lurking about. Our experts monitor the traps for five days, remove any animals found, and give you the peace of mind you’ve been missing. 

We are proud to be a trusted name in the industry, known for our professionalism, humane treatment of animals, and long-lasting results. Check out our reviews and see why we are South Florida’s top choice for wildlife removal! Ready to put wildlife problems behind you?

Local Wildlife Removal Solutions for Fort Lauderdale Residents

Fort Lauderdale offers beautiful weather and diverse wildlife, but it also brings unexpected encounters with raccoons, iguanas, and squirrels. These animals can cause property damage and carry health risks. Broward County Animal Care provides helpful tips on local wildlife safety, and our team at Hoffer addresses the unique challenges of animal removal in Fort Lauderdale.

Homes in Fort Lauderdale face frequent wildlife challenges, especially following hurricanes or storms. Wind and rain often force animals out of parks and canals, driving them into neighborhoods. We help property owners respond quickly to these changes in animal behavior. Because Fort Lauderdale’s canals and waterways give animals easy access to neighborhoods, we use local knowledge to improve exclusion efforts and offer tailored maintenance recommendations.

Many area homeowners deal with wildlife in attics or gardens, leading to costly repairs and possible health issues. The consistently humid climate in Fort Lauderdale creates ideal breeding grounds for pests. Our animal removal services directly address these challenges and keep your property secure long-term.

Our technicians study local wildlife habits and use that knowledge to select the safest, most effective removal strategies. We also encourage residents to visit the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for more about native species and prevention approaches.

Don’t let wildlife disrupt your peace of mind. Contact Hoffer Pest Solutions for reliable animal removal services in Fort Lauderdale and reclaim your property from unwanted animals!

Commonly Asked Questions

How to Control a Wild Animal?

Controlling a wild animal safely requires professional experience. Avoid direct contact and call a licensed removal company. Professionals use humane trapping and exclusion to remove wildlife and relocate it safely. Trying to handle wildlife yourself can lead to injuries or property damage.

What Is the Best Way to Protect Wildlife?

Protecting wildlife means preserving their habitats and minimizing human impact. Support conservation opportunities, reduce pollution, and avoid harmful pesticides. Also, securing food sources deters wildlife from entering residential areas and keeps them in their natural environments.

What Is an Example of a Wildlife Habitat?

Wildlife habitats include forests, wetlands, grasslands, and coastal areas. In Florida, the Everglades is a famous habitat that supports alligators, panthers, manatees, and birds. Protecting these spaces maintains biodiversity and reduces human-wildlife conflict.

How Can I Tell If an Animal Is Living in My Attic?

Watch for scratching or scurrying sounds, foul odors, and visible droppings. Chewed wires, damaged insulation, or nesting materials also suggest animal activity. If you suspect an infestation, contact a wildlife removal professional to inspect and remove the animal safely.

Are Wildlife Removal Services in Fort Lauderdale Humane?

Yes, animal removal companies in Fort Lauderdale use humane strategies. They rely on live traps and exclusion to relocate animals safely, following Florida rules for ethical animal care. These approaches protect both residents and native wildlife.

How Do I Prevent Raccoons from Getting into My Trash?

Use heavy-duty trash bins with locking lids and store them in a secure spot. Ammonia-soaked rags placed nearby may keep raccoons away, as they dislike strong odors. Don't leave food waste outside overnight, as it attracts scavengers.

What Are the Most Common Wildlife Issues in Fort Lauderdale?

Frequent animal issues in Fort Lauderdale include raccoons in attics, iguanas damaging landscaping, and snakes looking for shelter. Birds nesting in vents and squirrels chewing on wires are also common. Animal removal companies can address these efficiently while providing humane care.

What Should I Do If I Find a Baby Animal on My Property?

If you find a baby animal alone, watch from a distance before acting. Many young animals—like birds or rabbits—are temporarily left while parents find food. If the animal appears injured or left for long, contact a licensed rehabilitator for guidance. Avoid direct handling to prevent the mother from being deterred by human scent.

    “The Team was great, from Angela in the office who got the ball rolling and worked it all out for us, meeting all of our needs and making sure that we were completely satisfied. Then Raul came 1st the other day, he gave us an inspection and identified some critters we were unfamiliar with and advised us on the proper course of action. (Problem Solved) Next came Kevin today, right on time and he took care of everything. We are sure that all will be well, and we will move on and Continue to see how this relationship develops. I'm sure it will be terrific. So far so good. I see nothing but the best to come as it's been. Keep up the good work. I would highly recommend Hoffer.”
