Wildlife Removal in Clinton, CT: Bats, Skunks, Squirrels, Raccoons & More

Dealing with wildlife intrusions in Clinton, CT? This classic shoreline town — with its popular Clinton Town Beach, Cedar Island Marina, Indian River Preserve, historic downtown, and homes along Route 1 — draws nuisance animals with beach trash, marsh edges, older homes with attics and crawl spaces, and marina activity. From bats in roof vents near the commuter rail to raccoons raiding decks by the river and skunks digging under porches during mating season, these critters cause damage and health risks.

As a veteran-owned local expert serving the exact shoreline area for 16+ years from our nearby Old Saybrook base, I know Clinton’s patterns inside out. Call me directly at 860-510-6313 for a free inspection today — no call centers, just straight talk from someone who handles these jobs every week.

Common Wildlife Problems in Clinton, CT

• Fluttering noises, guano piles, or musty odors in attics (bats roosting in roof vents or soffits near Cedar Island Marina or the train station)
• Digging under decks/sheds, strong odors at night (skunks foraging near Clinton Town Beach or Indian River marshes — especially active now in Feb–Mar mating season)
• Chewing on wires, scratching in walls/attics, or nests in chimneys (squirrels in wooded neighborhoods off Route 1 or near the preserve)
• Scattered trash, paw prints, or damage to vents/chimneys (raccoons around Cedar Island Marina, Harborside houseboats, or historic downtown properties)

Bat Removal in Clinton, CT

Bats are one of the most common calls in Clinton — they squeeze into attics, soffits, roof vents, and eaves near Cedar Island Marina and shoreline homes. Here in Clinton, big brown bats are the number one species we find in local homes (hardy and adaptable after white-nose syndrome impacted smaller species). We specialize in full eviction, exclusion, and proofing (no poisons — fully DEEP-compliant).

Skunk Removal in Clinton, CT

Skunks thrive in Clinton’s marsh and beach areas — digging for grubs under decks or porches near Clinton Town Beach or Indian River Preserve, especially during February–March mating season when males roam looking for females. We use odor-free trapping with covered traps, which keeps the skunks calm and makes them far less likely to spray. Humane live trapping — fully DEEP-compliant, no chemicals or poisons ever.

1. Free inspection to locate dens and entry points.
2. Set covered traps baited properly for mating-season activity.
3. Remove and handle according to DEEP rules (no rabies-vector relocation).
4. Fully exclude future access with steel mesh and repairs to prevent re-entry. Starting at $225 — veteran-owned, local service.

Squirrel Removal in Clinton, CT Gray squirrels overrun Clinton attics and chimneys, especially in neighborhoods near the preserve or Route 1 — chewing wires (fire hazard) and making noise. But here in Clinton, most of my squirrel calls are actually for southern flying squirrels — nocturnal, gliding into small soffit/vents, hopping in walls at night. We trap and exclude permanently (DEEP-compliant).

1. Inspect entry points and damage (day or night).
2. Set traps in high-activity areas (baited for flying vs. gray).
3. Remove squirrels humanely when possible (no poisons).
4. Seal entries with steel mesh and repair damage. Starting at $225.

Raccoon Removal in Clinton, CT Raccoons are everywhere in Clinton — dens in chimneys, under decks, or raiding trash near Cedar Island Marina, Harborside houseboats, or the river. They tear vents, spread roundworm, and get aggressive. We specialize in raccoon jobs (see our dedicated raccoonremovalconnecticut.com Clinton page for more).

1. Full inspection for babies/moms.
2. Humane trapping and removal (or eviction first with one-way doors/cameras when possible).
3. Exclusion (one-way doors if needed, chimney caps installed).
4. Secure property. Starting at $225 — 24/7 emergency calls.

I’ve trapped raccoons at nearly every marina in Clinton — Cedar Island Marina, the one next to it, and the end-of-harbor spot where I once removed a full family from a houseboat. The mother would sunbathe on the deck every day around 4pm; I tried evicting her first with cameras and male raccoon scent, but the kits were older than expected so I caught her, and got the litter out by hand. The picture above is of a mother raccoon who decided to have her litter in a chimney so we humanely caught her, grabbed the three little ones safely into a box, installed a chimney cap, and released the whole family that night on-site at the homeowner’s request. State law requires on-site release for raccoons (rabies-vector species) or no release at all — we always follow DEEP rules strictly for safe, legal results.
