Wildlife Removal in Tega Cay, SC

Wildlife removal in Tega Cay, SC

Tega Cay sits on a peninsula on the east side of Lake Wylie in York County, South Carolina. The original lakefront neighborhoods have homes from the 1970s and 1980s on wooded, sloping lots, many with crawl spaces, walkout basements, and docks. Newer sections toward Gold Hill Road and Stonecrest have larger two-story homes. Thick woods, coves, and the golf course run through the whole city.

Raccoons are the most common Tega Cay call. They travel the shoreline at night, get into boathouses and under docks, raid trash and grills, and climb onto roofs to tear open vents and soffits in late winter and spring. We remove raccoons humanely, check for kits before sealing, and install heavy-gauge vent guards and reinforced soffit repairs.

Snakes are common along the shoreline, in riprap and retaining walls, and in the wooded lots between houses. Most are water snakes and rat snakes, but copperheads turn up in leaf litter and landscaping. Opossums den under decks and in the crawl spaces of older homes. We remove snakes and opossums, then seal crawl-space vents, door sweeps, and foundation gaps.

Bats roost in boathouses and in gable vents and ridge caps on older lake homes. South Carolina protects bats during the summer pup season, so exclusions are scheduled after the young can fly. Every Tega Cay job starts with a free inspection of the house, crawl space or basement, dock, and boathouse, with photos and a written plan and price before work begins.

Tega Cay's sloped lots and older lake homes often have walkout basements and deep crawl spaces under the downhill side of the house. Those spaces are where opossums, rats, and snakes most often get in, through gaps at the bottom of siding, loose vents, and doors that don't seal. We seal and screen those openings and can repair or replace vapor barriers in the crawl space. Seasonal timing matters here too: raccoon damage peaks in late winter and spring, snakes are active from April through October, and bat work waits until after the summer pup season.
