Wildlife Removal Fort Pierce FL is the licensed trapping, removal and exclusion work that clears raccoons, opossums, rats, squirrels and bats out of a building and closes the openings they used to get in. It is not a bait-and-hope job. We inspect the attic, crawl space and roofline with flashlights and thermal imaging cameras, identify the species from tracks, droppings and rub marks, then set live catch traps or snap traps at the travel lanes the animal actually uses. Once the building is empty, we seal every entry point with copper mesh, steel wool and exclusion sealant so the next animal cannot move in behind it.
Fort Pierce sits between the Indian River and the Atlantic, so warm nights, mature oak canopy and older housing stock give wildlife plenty of ways in. Raccoons peel back soffit vents, rats ride palm fronds onto roofs, and opossums walk straight through pet doors. If you are searching for wildlife removal Fort Pierce FL near me after hearing nocturnal scratching noises, we can usually be on site the same day. We also handle animal removal services in Fort Pierce Florida for commercial buildings, restaurants and rental properties that need it documented for inspections.
Every job is scoped to the property, but most wildlife removal calls include the same core work. Here is what is covered on a standard visit, and what we quote separately when the damage goes beyond trapping and sealing.
We walk the attic, crawl space, garage and exterior roofline with flashlights and thermal imaging cameras. You get a written report of entry points, droppings, gnawed wires and insulation damage before any work starts.
Live catch traps and snap traps set on the runways the animal actually uses. Traps are checked on a fixed schedule, and the animal is handled under Florida wildlife regulations. Most single-animal jobs clear in 3 to 7 days.
Copper mesh, steel wool and exclusion sealant close the gaps. We also fit rodent-proof vent covers, chimney caps and door sweeps where needed. This is the step that stops the next animal from moving in.
We remove contaminated insulation and nesting material, apply disinfectant to affected surfaces, and follow with deodorizer. Attic odor usually clears within 48 hours of treatment.
We photograph gnawed wires, torn duct insulation and chewed packaging, repair what falls within our scope, and give you a written list of anything that needs an electrician or roofer.
We come back within 30 days to check the seal, refresh traps if needed, and confirm the building is still clear. Our exclusion work carries a written warranty against new entry at the sealed points.
You call (772) 365-9826 and describe what you are hearing and where. We ask about timing, sounds and location because a daytime scurry points to squirrels while heavy thumping after dark usually means raccoon. Most calls get a same-day window, and emergency wildlife removal Fort Pierce FL requests get priority.
A licensed technician walks the attic, crawl space, garage and exterior roofline. We use flashlights, inspection mirrors and thermal imaging cameras to find entry points and travel lanes, then check for rodent droppings, gnawed wires and insulation damage. This takes 45 to 90 minutes on a typical Fort Pierce home.
We set live catch traps and snap traps at the lanes the animal is using, not randomly around the yard. Traps are checked on a fixed schedule, and we handle the animal according to Florida regulations. Most single-animal jobs clear in 3 to 7 days.
Once the building is empty, we close it. Copper mesh and steel wool go into gaps, exclusion sealant goes around pipes and utility penetrations, and we fit rodent-proof vent covers, chimney caps and door sweeps. This is the step that turns a one-time removal into a permanent fix.
We remove droppings and contaminated insulation, apply disinfectant and deodorizer, and replace damaged insulation where needed. Then we walk the property with you, show you the photos, and explain what to watch for over the next 30 days.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Used for raccoons, opossums and squirrels where the animal must be removed alive and handled under Florida wildlife regulations.
The workhorse for rats and mice. Set on runways along walls, in attics and in crawl spaces where the animal travels.
Placed along baseboards and in tight voids where snap traps will not fit, mainly for mouse activity in kitchens and utility rooms.
Tamper-resistant housings for rodenticide bait blocks, placed where pets and children cannot reach them.
Used during inspection to find animals behind walls and confirm entry points that are not visible from the ground.
Packed into voids and gaps around pipes and utility penetrations. Rodents cannot chew through either material.
Seals the edges around mesh, pipe penetrations and vent frames so the repair is airtight and permanent.
A homeowner heard heavy thumping for nine nights and found a torn soffit vent above the garage. The attic had soiled insulation across roughly 120 square feet and a strong ammonia odor in the hallway below.
We trapped the raccoon and two kits in four days, sealed the soffit with copper mesh and exclusion sealant, removed the contaminated insulation and replaced it with rodent-proof insulation. Odor cleared within 48 hours.
A rental property near the Peacock Arts District had droppings in the kitchen and scratching under the floor. The crawl space had four open foundation vents and a torn vapor barrier with nesting material throughout.
We trapped the colony in six days using snap traps and bait stations, sealed all four vents with rodent-proof covers, replaced the vapor barrier, and treated the space with disinfectant and deodorizer.
Squirrels chewed through a gable vent screen and moved into the garage ceiling. The homeowner found chewed wiring above the water heater and insulation pulled down across the ceiling joists.
We trapped three squirrels in five days, replaced the vent screen with a rodent-proof vent cover, sealed the AC line penetration, and repaired the damaged insulation. The wiring was documented for the homeowner's electrician.
Most calls start with a sound, a smell or a mess. Here are the four problems we hear about most, and what happens if you leave them alone.
Ask a pro →We inspect with thermal imaging cameras, identify the species from tracks and rub marks, and set live catch traps on the travel lanes. Once the animal is out, we seal the entry point with copper mesh and exclusion sealant so nothing else moves in.
We trap the colony with snap traps and bait stations, document the wire damage with photos, and give you a written list of anything an electrician needs to address. Then we seal the gaps the animals used to reach the kitchen.
We remove contaminated material, apply disinfectant and deodorizer, and replace damaged insulation with rodent-proof insulation. Most odors clear within 48 hours of treatment.
We trap under Florida wildlife regulations, remove the animal, and close the entry with copper mesh, steel wool and exclusion sealant. Garage doors get a fitted door sweep, and foundation vents get rodent-proof covers.
$250 - $850 for most residential jobs
Wildlife removal pricing in Fort Pierce depends on the animal, how many entry points need sealing, and whether cleanup is involved. Typical 2026 pricing for a residential job runs $250 to $850. A single squirrel in a garage sits at the low end. A raccoon family with torn soffit and soiled insulation pushes toward the top. We quote the full scope upfront, including trapping, exclusion and sanitation, so there are no surprise line items. Commercial and multi-unit jobs are quoted per property after inspection.
The price covers trapping, removal, exclusion sealing, sanitation and a 30-day follow-up. Doing it once, correctly, costs less than three seasons of hardware-store traps and repeat damage.
Raccoons and opossums take more time and larger traps than rats or mice. Species also affects how the animal must be handled under Florida wildlife regulations, which can add a step to the job.
Most Fort Pierce homes have 6 to 14 usable entry points. Each one needs copper mesh, steel wool and exclusion sealant, so sealing is often the largest line item on the quote.
Tight crawl spaces and low-pitch attics take longer to work in. Difficult access adds labor time, and in summer heat it also affects how long a technician can safely stay in the space.
Droppings, urine-soaked insulation and nesting material all need removal and disinfection. The larger the contaminated area, the more material has to be bagged and hauled out.
“We heard thumping in the attic for about a week before I called. TideCrest came out the same afternoon, found a raccoon had peeled back a soffit vent, and had it trapped in three days. They sealed four other gaps I did not know about and cleaned out the soiled insulation. No more noise since.”
Marcus T.Homeowner, Lakewood Park
✓ Verified“I manage six rental units near the Peacock Arts District and rats were showing up in two of them. They trapped, sealed the crawl space vents and gave me written documentation for each unit. The health inspector was satisfied and I have not had a complaint in months.”
Denise R.Property Manager, Downtown Fort Pierce
✓ Verified“Squirrels chewed through a vent screen and got into the garage ceiling. They set traps, replaced the vent cover with a rodent-proof one, and sealed the gap around the AC line. Price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Straightforward crew, no upselling.”

Animal removal Fort Pierce is the trapping and relocation of a specific animal, plus the exclusion work that keeps it from returning. General pest control treats insects and rodents with bait and spray. Wildlife work is hands-on: live catch traps, entry point identification, and physical sealing with copper mesh and steel wool. Many jobs need both, and we handle either.
We do, and we cover the whole city plus St. Lucie County. That includes Downtown Fort Pierce, Lincoln Park, Fort Pierce North and South, Hutchinson Island, Indian River Estates, Lakewood Park, White City and St. Lucie Village. Call (772) 365-9826 and we will give you a same-day window if the schedule allows.
Yes. Raccoons and opossums are two of our most common calls, along with rats, squirrels and bats. Both animals are handled under Florida wildlife regulations, which means no relocation without proper authorization. We trap, remove, seal the entry point and clean the area. Raccoon jobs typically clear in 3 to 7 days.
Rodent ControlWildlife removal clears the animal. Rodent control keeps rats and mice from coming back. We combine both on most Fort Pierce jobs, using bait stations and snap traps in the attic, garage and crawl space after the exclusion work is finished.Explore →
Rodent RemovalWhen the animal inside is a rat or mouse rather than a raccoon, rodent removal is the direct fix. We trap the colony, remove the carcasses and nesting material, and treat the runways so the next generation does not move in.Explore →
Rodent ExclusionRodent exclusion is the sealing work that makes wildlife removal permanent. We close gaps with copper mesh, steel wool and exclusion sealant, then fit vent covers and chimney caps. Most Fort Pierce homes have 6 to 14 entry points worth sealing.Explore →
Rodent ProofingRodent proofing goes a step further than exclusion and hardens the whole building envelope. Door sweeps, vent covers, chimney caps and sealed utility penetrations stop rats, mice and squirrels before they ever get inside your attic or garage.Explore →
Rat ControlRat control in Fort Pierce means dealing with palm-frond roof access and warm-weather breeding. We set snap traps and bait stations on the runways rats actually use, then seal the roof and soffit gaps they came through.Explore →
Rat RemovalRat removal is the hands-on part: trapping the animals, pulling out nesting material, and clearing droppings from the attic or crawl space. We follow with disinfectant and deodorizer so the space is safe to work in again.Explore →
Rat ExclusionRats can squeeze through a gap the size of a quarter. Rat exclusion closes those gaps with copper mesh and steel wool, seals pipe penetrations, and installs rodent-proof vent covers so the building stops being an open door.Explore →
Mouse ControlMouse control is a different job than rat control. Mice nest in insulation and wall voids, so we use snap traps and glue boards along baseboards and in the attic, then seal the small gaps they use to move between rooms.Explore →If you are hearing scratching, seeing droppings or finding chewed wires, the animal is still inside. We run same-day calls across Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County, quote the full scope upfront, and warranty our exclusion work. Call (772) 365-9826 and we will get a technician to your property.
