Wildlife Removal in Concord, NC

Wildlife removal in Concord, NC

Concord is the county seat of Cabarrus County and one of the fastest-growing cities in the Charlotte area. Subdivisions along Poplar Tent Road, Christenbury, Moss Creek, Highland Creek's Cabarrus side, and the developments near Concord Mills and the speedway have added thousands of homes in the last twenty years. Downtown Concord and the streets around Union Street and Edgewood still have older brick and wood-frame homes on crawl spaces.

New construction is behind a large share of Concord calls. Builders often leave open roof-to-wall joints where a lower roof meets a two-story wall, unscreened roof returns, gaps behind gutters, and garage door corners that don't seal. Gray squirrels find those openings within a year or two, especially in neighborhoods that back onto woods. Roof rats are the other common attic call: they climb trees, fences, and utility lines, squeeze through gaps the size of a quarter, and nest in the insulation. We trap rats, set one-way doors for squirrels, and seal every gap, not just the active one.

Opossums and raccoons den under decks and in crawl spaces in both new and older homes. In the older parts of town, rusted foundation vents and gaps around plumbing lines let them straight under the house. Mice come in through the same openings in fall. Once the animals are out, we screen vents with heavy wire, seal plumbing gaps, and repair torn vapor barriers so the crawl space stays closed.

Every Concord job begins with a free inspection of the roof line, attic, garage, and crawl space. We photograph each opening, separate active problems from future risks, and give you a written plan and price. For new homes still under builder warranty, the photos also help you document what was left open.

Kannapolis, Harrisburg, and Midland share the same mix of new subdivisions and older mill-era housing, and we cover all of them from the same team. Fall is the busiest time for rodents across Cabarrus County, when the first cool nights push mice and rats toward warm attics and garages. Late winter is squirrel season, when gray squirrels look for nesting spots and chew new holes in fascia and soffits. In both cases, we remove the animals, seal the roof line and foundation, and clean or replace attic insulation where droppings have built up. A sealed home is much less likely to see the same problem the following year.
