Franklin mixes historic downtown homes, Cool Springs subdivisions, and wooded lots toward Leiper's Fork, and each one gives wildlife a different way in. Part of our Nashville wildlife removal coverage in Williamson County.

Franklin sits in Williamson County, and its housing ranges more than almost anywhere else in Middle Tennessee. The historic blocks around Main Street and Fair Street have older wood-frame and brick homes with original attic louvers, open chimneys, and loose trim boards. Cool Springs, Westhaven, and Fieldstone Farms are newer construction with tall roof lines, complex returns, and gutters that hide roof-to-wall gaps. Out toward Leiper's Fork and the ridges west of town, homes back onto woods, pasture, and limestone outcrops.
Squirrels are the most common Franklin call. Gray squirrels chew into soffit corners and gable vents where a tree limb reaches the roof, and flying squirrels slip in at night through ridge vents and gaps behind gutters on the newer homes in Westhaven and Berry Farms. If you hear noise at dusk and all night, it is usually flying squirrels; noise at sunrise usually means gray squirrels. We set a one-way door matched to the animal and seal every other gap with metal-backed repairs.
Raccoons den in chimneys and attics downtown, while groundhogs and skunks are the yard problem in the subdivisions. Groundhogs dig under decks, sheds, and stoops, often starting where limestone near the surface leaves a void, and some tunnel into a crawl space. We trap them humanely, fill burrows beside the foundation, and bury an L-shaped wire barrier along the deck or shed. Skunks use the same spaces under porches in late winter.
Bats show up in Franklin's older homes with mortar gaps and attic louvers. Tennessee bats raise pups from mid-May through mid-August, so we count the colony at dusk and schedule exclusion afterward. Every Franklin job starts with a free inspection of the roof, attic, chimney, crawl space, and yard, and you get photos and a written plan before any work starts.
Squirrel calls climb in late winter and fall; raccoons den February–May; bat exclusions wait until after mid-August.

Cole confirmed a single adult raccoon using the chimney of an older home off Fair Street, removed it with an exit device after checking for kits, and installed a fitted stainless chimney cap.
Sierra found flying-squirrel droppings along the ridge, set one-way doors at two gaps behind the gutter line, and sealed the ridge vent and roof returns with metal mesh once the group cleared.
Cole trapped a groundhog that had dug beside a limestone outcrop under the deck, filled the burrow, and buried an L-shaped wire barrier around the deck perimeter.
Written quote before any work. No trip charges in Franklin.
Yes. We cover downtown Franklin, Cool Springs, Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, Berry Farms, and the rural roads toward Leiper's Fork across Williamson County.
After the groundhog is trapped, we fill the burrow and bury an L-shaped wire barrier along the deck, shed, or stoop so a new one can't dig underneath.
Not in July. Tennessee bats raise pups from mid-May through mid-August, so we inspect and count the colony then and schedule the exclusion after the pups can fly.
It depends on how many entry points need sealing, whether the attic needs cleanup, and how many animals are involved. We don't quote over the phone because every house is different, but the inspection is free and you get a written price before any work starts.
