Common Pests in Harwich, MA
RACCOONS
Raccoons are clever, determined, and thrive in Harwich’s wooded neighborhoods, from the back roads of East Harwich to the cottages on Lower County Rd. These nocturnal scavengers often rummage through trash cans, damage insulation in attics, and sneak into crawl spaces looking for warmth and shelter. Our humane raccoon trapping and exclusion services stop the damage before it gets any worse, keeping your home secure and your yard raccoon-free.
SQUIRRELS & FLYING SQUIRRELS
Eastern gray squirrels and flying squirrels are common across Harwich, especially in neighborhoods close to wooded areas like Bell’s Neck and Hawksnest State Park. Once inside your home, these agile intruders chew through electrical wires, scratch walls, and nest in insulation, creating serious safety hazards. We safely remove all types of squirrels and seals up entry points to prevent future infestations.
SKUNKS
Skunks are frequent visitors to Harwich yards, especially near sandy soils, golf courses, and cranberry bogs. They often dig under decks, porches, and sheds to build dens and will tear up lawns looking for grubs. Homeowners near beaches like Bank Street and throughout Harwich Port frequently report skunk activity, especially in the warmer months. If startled, these animals can leave behind their unmistakable odor, which can linger for days. Our expert skunk trapping and exclusion services remove these animals and install barriers to keep them from coming back so you can enjoy your yard without the stink. And if the worst happens? We can deodorize too.
BATS
Bats are often found roosting in older homes and outbuildings throughout Harwich, particularly in areas near water like Pleasant Lake Ave that winds through Long Pond and Seymour Pond. These nocturnal mammals are drawn to the abundant food sources of the nearby waters, making neighborhoods near ponds and wetlands ideal roosting spots. While bats help control insects like mosquitoes, they can also carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis. Our humane bat removal and exclusion services safely remove the colony and seal up vulnerable areas, protecting your home and family from the risk of disease.
