BARNSTABLE, MA – A Perfect Habitat FOR NUISANCE WILDLIFE

ARC Wildlife Removal understands the environmental nuances and architecture of Barnstable and provides targeted solutions to match.

Common Pests in Barnstable, MA

RACCOONS

Raccoons thrive in Barnstable’s dense neighborhoods and quiet wooded backyards, particularly near Wequaquet Lake, Long Pond, and Millway Beach. These clever critters are known for tipping trash cansripping up insulation, and nesting in attics or chimneys. ARC Wildlife uses safe raccoon trapping and exclusion techniques to remove raccoons and seal up your home for long-term peace of mind.

SQUIRRELS & FLYING SQUIRRELS

Whether you’re in OstervilleHyannisport, or West Barnstable, you’ve likely seen (or heard!) squirrels overhead. Gray and flying squirrels are excellent climbers and frequently chew through fascia boards or nest in attics. We humanely remove all kinds of squirrels, repair the damage, and install pro-grade exclusion barriers to keep your home secure.

SKUNKS

Skunks love the sandy soil of Cape Cod, and Barnstable offers plenty of great burrowing spots, under decks in Centervillebehind sheds in Cotuit, or even near the edges of cranberry bogs. Their digging can wreck lawns, and the risk of getting sprayed is all too real. Our skunk trapping and exclusion services are discreet, humane, and highly effective.

BATS

Barnstable’s older homes, barns, and coastal buildings are popular roosting spots for bats, especially near Maraspin Creek, Barnstable Harbor, and Great Marsh. While bats help with mosquito control, they also carry serious health risks. We use human trapping methods to remove bats, then seal every gap to prevent them from returning.
