Wildlife Removal in Lower Makefield Township, PA
Humane Trapping, Exclusion & Attic Cleanup for Bucks County Homes
Scratching overhead at night, a smell you can’t trace, or a torn soffit usually means an animal is already inside. UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control handles wildlife removal in Lower Makefield Township and the surrounding 19067 area, from wooded lots on the township’s south side to homes backing the Delaware Canal towpath.
Raccoons, squirrels, bats, groundhogs, and skunks almost always get in the same way: a gap at a roof return, a lifted soffit, or an opening under a deck or shed. We find that entry point, remove the animal under Pennsylvania Game Commission rules, repair what it tore up, and seal the house so the next one can’t use it.
What Homeowners Say After We Fix the Problem
UFO provides professional services. We had issues with racoons in the attic. Josh did an excellent job trapping, treating the attic, and sealing roof return. We highly recommend Josh and UFO.
A Full-Service Plan for Removal, Sealing, & Cleanup
Getting the animal out is only half the job. Most calls also involve a chewed vent, a soiled attic, or a gap under a deck or shed, so we handle removal, repair, and prevention as one plan.
Humane Trapping & Removal
We match the method to the animal and the setup, from one-way exclusion doors on a roof return to live traps placed near a den. Nothing we use poses a risk to your kids or pets, and no poisons go anywhere on the property.
Exclusion & Entry Point Sealing
Openings get closed with galvanized steel mesh, hardware cloth, and heavy-duty vent covers rather than foam or caulk that animals chew straight through. We treat the gaps an animal hasn’t found yet as part of the job, not just the one it used.
Repairs for Chewed, Torn, & Damaged Areas
Torn soffits, chewed fascia, ripped vent screens, and shredded insulation all get repaired by the same crew that handled the animal, so there’s no second contractor to line up. Our animal damage control work covers the structural side, not just a patch over the hole.
Attic Cleanup & Odor Control
Droppings, nesting material, and soiled insulation come out, and the space gets treated for the bacteria and odor left behind. Our attic animal removal service also covers insulation replacement when the contamination is widespread.
Wildlife Issues We See Around Local Homes & Yards
With the 300-acre Five Mile Woods preserve near the Falls Township line and mature trees throughout established neighborhoods, Lower Makefield homes sit close to a lot of wildlife habitat. These are the animals that most often end up in attics, crawl spaces, and yards.
Please Note: UFO Nuisance Wildlife Control does not remove domestic pets like stray cats or dogs.
The canal corridor gives raccoons a sheltered route along the township’s eastern edge and south into Morrisville. Once they start pulling at soffits and roof returns, humane raccoon removal has to come before any repair work.
Mature trees in neighborhoods like Yardley Estates reach over rooflines and hand squirrels a direct route inside. Scratching, chewed trim, or flattened insulation usually points to squirrels in the attic.
Flying squirrels slip through roofline gaps barely wider than a quarter, and almost none are visible from the ground. Finding those openings is most of the work in excluding flying squirrels.
Bats roost in attics and wall voids, and the Game Commission warns against sealing them out in June or July while pups are inside. We schedule bat exclusion work around that window.
Opossums
Opossums den under decks, sheds, and crawl spaces, leaving droppings and strong odors right against your foundation. We remove them, clear what’s left behind, and close the openings underneath.
Quarter-acre to one-acre lots give groundhogs room to dig beside sheds, patios, and garden beds. Trapping groundhogs early keeps those burrows from undermining foundations and outdoor structures.
A sour smell near a porch or shed usually means a skunk has denned underneath and started digging up the yard. Skunk removal handles it before the odor works into the house.
Snakes turn up along stone walls, in garages, and in basements, following the same low gaps mice use. Snake removal covers identifying the species and sealing what it came through.
The Calendar Changes What a Noise Overhead Means
The month decides how urgent that scratching is and how complicated the fix gets.
Winter: Cold Pushes Them In, Not Out
Raccoons and skunks don’t hibernate, they den. The first clue is often a room that won’t hold heat, because insulation has been flattened into a nest overhead.
Spring: The Worst Time to Seal a Gap
Close an opening yourself in April and you can trap a litter inside a wall or soffit. Every entry point gets checked for young before anything gets shut.
Summer: Attic Heat Makes Old Messes Obvious
A hot attic pushes the smell of droppings and nesting material down into the living space. Plenty of calls start with an odor rather than a noise.
Fall: The Last Practical Window
Once leaves drop on the township’s wooded lots, roof returns and soffit gaps sit exposed and get found fast. Sealing before the first hard freeze beats removing something in January.
What Happens From the First Call to a Protected Home
You should never be guessing what we found, what it costs, or when we’re coming back. Here’s how a job runs from your first call to the last visit.
-
The Call: What We Ask First
We'll ask where the noise is, what time of day you hear it, and how long it's been going on. Those three answers usually narrow the species before anyone comes out, and they tell us how quickly you need us.
-
The Free Inspection & What You'll Be Shown
We check the attic, roofline, vents, foundation, and under decks and sheds, then show you photos of what we found. Older ranches and Capes tend to open up at eaves and chimneys, while newer colonials hand animals roof returns and ridge vents.
-
A Written Scope & Price Before Anything Starts
You get the findings, the recommended work, and the price in writing. Nothing gets trapped, sealed, or torn out until you've looked it over and approved it, and we'll walk you through why each item is on there.
-
Scheduling Around the Animal, Not Just the Calendar
Timing is part of the plan. A litter of raccoon kits or a summer bat colony changes when the house can safely be closed up, and we'll say upfront if that window is weeks out rather than days.
-
Return Visits While Traps Are Set
If the plan calls for live traps, we come back to check them rather than leaving them sitting on your property. The equipment comes out once the activity has stopped and we're confident nothing is left inside.
Why Homeowners Here Call UFO Instead of a Trapper
A trap on its own protects nothing. The hole stays open, the mess stays in the insulation, and something else finds the same way in by next season. Homeowners give us 200+ 5-star Google reviews for closing that loop, and seniors and military families get a discount on the work.
- One crew, start to finish. Jesse Miller and Joshua Chambers pair home repair backgrounds with years of animal sanctuary work, so the crew that gets the raccoon out rebuilds the soffit it came through.
- Registered Pennsylvania home improvement contractor. PA HIC PA181541, which means the structural repairs happen here and there’s no second contractor to line up.
- Concentrated in the townships around this one. Most of our Pennsylvania work runs from Middletown down to the river, so we know how 19067 homes tend to fail.
- Game Commission rules, not a national playbook. Rabies-vector species and bat exclusion timing follow Pennsylvania law on every job.
- Documentation for insurance claims. Entry points and damage get photographed and written up for your carrier.
Answers for Homeowners Hearing, Seeing, or Smelling Wildlife Activity
Do you serve homes with a Yardley or Morrisville mailing address?
Yes. Much of the township uses Yardley or Morrisville addresses under the 19067 ZIP, and we cover all of it, along with neighboring communities like Newtown Township.
Can I trap a raccoon myself and release it at Five Mile Woods?
No. In Pennsylvania, raccoons, skunks, groundhogs, and bats are rabies-vector species, and the Game Commission says they shouldn’t be relocated like other wildlife. A trapped skunk is also hard to release without getting sprayed or bitten.
Will homeowners insurance cover wildlife damage to my home?
It depends on your policy. Some cover damage animals cause, and we can document the entry points and damage to help with your claim.
Are raccoon or bat droppings in my attic dangerous?
They can be. Raccoon droppings can carry roundworm, and bat guano can carry the fungus that causes histoplasmosis, so contaminated insulation should be removed, not swept up.
Can you find a dead animal in my wall or under the deck?
Yes. We trace the odor to the source, remove the carcass, and treat the area, then find the opening it used so nothing else follows it in.
Get the Attic, Roofline, & Entry Points Taken Care Of
The longer an animal stays, the more insulation it ruins and the wider its entry point gets. Schedule a free inspection, and we’ll show you where it’s getting in and what it takes to close it for good.
