At ARC Wildlife Removal, we understand the unique ecology of Orleans and tailor our solutions to respect local wildlife while protecting your home.

Common Pests in Orleans, MA
RACCOONS
Raccoons thrive in Orleans’ wooded neighborhoods and waterfront areas, from the East Orleans to the scenic shores near Rock Harbor. These intelligent scavengers often raid trash bins, damage attic insulation, and find shelter in crawl spaces or chimneys. Our humane raccoon trapping and exclusion services ensure these critters are removed safely, preventing costly damage and keeping your home secure.
SQUIRRELS & FLYING SQUIRRELS
Eastern gray squirrels and flying squirrels are common in Orleans, especially in wooded areas like Crystal Lake and near the Cape Cod Rail Trail. These agile creatures can enter attics and walls, where they chew wiring, scratch surfaces, and contaminate insulation. We offer safe squirrel removal and thorough sealing of entry points to keep these pests out while protecting your home.
SKUNKS
Skunks frequently burrow under porches, decks, and sheds in Orleans, especially near salt marshes around Nauset Estuary, and residential areas close to Town Cove. These nocturnal foragers dig up lawns searching for grubs and can spray a potent odor if startled. We provide expert skunk trapping and exclusion services to keep your property (and your pets) odor-free and safe.
BATS
Bats often roost in older homes, barns, and buildings throughout Orleans, particularly near bodies of water like Pilgrim Lake, Baker’s Pond and Cedar Pond. While they help control insects like mosquitoes, bats can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis. ARC Wildlife Removal offers humane bat removal and exclusion services to safely remove bats, protecting both your home and family.
