FAQ

What wildlife removal services do you offer in Central PA?

We provide comprehensive wildlife removal services across Central Pennsylvania, including inspection, live trapping, exclusion (entry prevention), structural repairs and cleanup. We handle animals such as bats, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, snakes, groundhogs, birds and more.

Is the removal process humane and legal?

Yes — we follow humane wildlife control practices and comply with state regulations for protected species (for example, bats and snakes). We aim to remove animals safely, relocate or exclude them (following state laws) and restore your property.

Do you only remove the animals or also prevent them from returning?

We don’t just remove the nuisance wildlife — we include exclusion work, structural repairs, sealing of entry points, and recommendations to help prevent future infestations.

How do I know if I have a wildlife problem in my home or business?

Signs may include unusual noises in walls/attic, droppings or nests or accumulation of items, missing food or cache, obvious entry holes or damaged vents, damage to insulation or wiring, or smelling a strong odor from a den or deceased animal. If you suspect any of these, call us for a professional inspection.

What kinds of animals do you specialize in removing?

We handle a broad range of nuisance wildlife problems in homes and commercial properties: bats, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, snakes, groundhogs, birds, opossums, foxes and more.

Will you repair the damage caused by the animals?

Yes. After removal and exclusion, we offer repair services to restore entry points, ductwork, vents, chimney caps, soffits, foundations and ensure the property is sealed and safe from future intrusion.

How quickly can you respond to a wildlife emergency?

We strive to respond promptly to calls from homeowners and businesses in our Central PA service area. Since wildlife problems can escalate fast, we recommend contacting us as soon as you suspect an issue. We often can have someone on site within 2 days.

Why should I choose Zimmerman Wildlife Solutions?

We’re a family-owned, locally operated wildlife control company with more than 25 years combined of hands-on experience. We bring certified training, humane handling, knowledge, skill, and long-term prevention to every job.

How much does wildlife removal cost?

Costs vary based on the animal species, location of the infestation, amount of damage/exclusion work required, and timing. We provide an inspection and custom quote based on individual circumstances.

What should I do while I wait for help?
  •  Avoid disturbing the animal(s) or hiding spots, as this may cause them to relocate into harder-to-reach areas
  • Do not try to catch or trap the animal on your own, as this can make our work more difficult if the animal is spooked or educated by a mishap.
  • Seal off children’s play areas or pets from the affected zone.
  • Remove any food, trash or pet food left outdoors that may attract wildlife.
  • Do not seal off any opening that is suspected to be an entry for animals
