Hendersonville is in Sumner County, on the north shore of Old Hickory Lake. Much of the city was built from the 1960s through the 80s, with brick ranch homes on crawl spaces in neighborhoods off Main Street, Center Point Road, and Walton Ferry Road. Newer subdivisions around Indian Lake and Drakes Creek have taller wood-frame and brick homes with more complex roof lines.
Raccoons are a top call along the lake and creeks. On the older ranch homes they pull crawl-space vents loose and den under the house, and on newer homes they tear into roof vents and soffits. Rats are common in the older ranch homes too, moving into crawl spaces through rusted foundation vents and gaps around plumbing and dryer lines. We remove the animals, then seal every opening with steel mesh and heavy-gauge vent screens.
Groundhogs dig under decks, sheds, and boat-house approaches on lots with rocky soil, using voids in the limestone to start their burrows. Skunks use the same spaces under porches in late winter. We trap both humanely, fill burrows beside the foundation, and bury an L-shaped wire barrier along decks and porches. Squirrels and flying squirrels get into attics through gable vents and gaps at the roof line, especially on lots with mature trees.
Some older Hendersonville homes have bats behind attic louvers or in mortar gaps. Tennessee bats raise pups from mid-May through mid-August, so we count the colony then and exclude afterward. Every job starts with a free inspection of the roof, attic, crawl space, and yard, and you get photos and a written plan before any work starts.
Raccoon denning peaks February–May; rats move indoors as nights cool in fall.

Sierra found a raccoon denning in the crawl space through a pulled-off vent, removed it with an exit device after checking for kits, and installed heavy-gauge vent screens.
Sierra trapped rats in the crawl space and sealed gaps at the dryer vent, plumbing lines, and two rusted foundation vents.
Blake trapped a groundhog burrowing under a deck facing the lake, filled the burrow, and buried an L-shaped wire barrier around the deck.
Written quote before any work. No trip charges in Hendersonville.
Yes. We cover Indian Lake, Drakes Creek, the lake-front neighborhoods, and the older areas off Main Street and Center Point Road in Sumner County.
Many were built on crawl spaces with thin vent screens that rust or pull loose. We remove the raccoon, then install heavy-gauge screens on every vent.
Yes. We trap rats in the crawl space and seal every entry point with steel mesh, including foundation vents and gaps around plumbing and dryer lines.
It depends on how many entry points need sealing, whether the crawl space or 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.
