Glastonbury Wildlife Removal – Bats, Skunks, Raccoons & More

Glastonbury, with its mix of suburban neighborhoods, wooded areas along the Connecticut River, and spots near Roaring Brook and the Hockanum River, sees plenty of wildlife issues — bats in attics, skunks under decks, raccoons in chimneys, squirrels in soffits, and moles tunneling lawns.

I do a lot of work in Glastonbury — it’s one of the towns where I handle the most mole trapping along with general wildlife removal. As a veteran-owned local company based in Old Saybrook (right off Rt 9 & I-95 Exit 2), I can get to Glastonbury quickly — often same day or next day — for humane trapping, exclusion, cleanup, and prevention.

Skunk Removal in Glastonbury, CT

Skunks burrow under decks, sheds, and porches in Glastonbury’s suburban yards near the Connecticut River, spraying when threatened and digging up lawns for grubs — especially in areas like South Glastonbury, Hopewell, and along the river corridor where the soil is soft and easy to tunnel.

Mid-February through early March is peak skunk breeding season in Connecticut, so males are roaming more and females are denning — that means more trapped pairs under decks and sheds. When they get stuck together during a storm or freeze, the fighting and spraying gets intense — I’ve had calls where the odor was so bad the homeowners could smell it inside through the floorboards. The digging also tears up lawns and gardens, and once babies arrive in April–May, the problem multiplies fast.

1. Assessment — Locate entry points, assess odor/damage, and check for signs of breeding.
2. Trapping — Live traps with odor control (no relocation per DEEP rules) — placed strategically to minimize spray risk.
3. Exclusion — Hardware cloth barriers and dig guards to prevent re-entry and future burrowing.

Quick start in 1–3 days, fully legal and effective. Starting at $225. Call or text 860-510-6313 for same-day or next-day help in Glastonbury, South Glastonbury, Hopewell, or along the Connecticut River.

Squirrel Removal in Glastonbury, CT

Squirrels invade attics, eaves, and soffits in Glastonbury’s wooded neighborhoods near the Connecticut River, damaging wiring, insulation, and wood while creating noise and fire hazards.

Along the shoreline and river areas I mostly deal with gray squirrels — the classic bushy-tailed ones raiding bird feeders and nesting in attics. Farther inland in more forested spots (especially around older growth near Roaring Brook or the Hockanum River), flying squirrels show up a lot more. They’re about chipmunk size, with soft gray fur, large dark eyes that look almost too big for their little heads, and a furry membrane between their legs that lets them glide from tree to tree. They’re loud, nocturnal, and love old-growth trees — they’ll slip into the tiniest gaps in roofs, vents, or soffits that grays can’t reach.

1. Check — Look for gnaw marks, nests, entry points, droppings, and noise in walls or attic (flying squirrels often leave less visible damage outside).
2. Trapping — One-way doors or live traps 
3. Repairs — Seal soffits, vents, chimney caps, and all entry points to prevent re-entry.
4. Habitat Prevention — Trim overhanging branches, remove bird feeders, and clear wood piles near the house.

Guaranteed service starting at $225. Call or text 860-510-6313 for same-day or next-day help in Glastonbury, South Glastonbury, or along the Connecticut River corridor.

Raccoon Removal in Glastonbury, CT

Raccoons scavenge near the Connecticut River, nesting in chimneys, attics, boat yards, and roofs in Glastonbury’s suburban and wooded areas, causing destruction, noise, and rabies concerns.

I’ve taken care of raccoons up and down the shoreline — marinas are some of my biggest clients. One memorable job in Glastonbury was a mother raccoon that ripped a hole right through the roof. The homeowner tried playing a radio in the attic set to a news station to scare her out — didn’t work. She perfectly tuned it to a country music station (lol). I used eviction techniques on the entry point in the roof and she moved her kits out in 48 hours. 

1. Free evaluation — Check attic/chimney/roof/boat for nests, damage, entry points, and signs of kits.
2. Secure live traps — No relocation (DEEP required) — humane trapping only when needed.
3. Eviction & sealing — Install one-way doors, repairs, and seal all gaps to prevent re-entry.
4. Prevention — Secure trash, trim overhanging branches, remove attractants like pet food or bird feeders.

Efficient and compliant. Starting at $225. Call or text 860-510-6313 for same-day or next-day help in Glastonbury, South Glastonbury, or along the Connecticut River corridor.
