Certified Wildlife Removal for Reno & Sparks, Backed by 50+ Years of Combined Experience

Truckee Meadows Pest Control has served the Greater Reno area since 2017 as a family-owned pest management company. We handle nuisance wildlife removal for residential and commercial clients throughout Reno and Sparks, and every technician on our team holds state, Purdue University, and Quality Pro certifications through the National Pest Management Association. With over 50 years of combined experience, our team brings more than credentials to a wildlife call: we bring working knowledge of the animals that live in and around the Truckee Meadows.

Reno’s position at the edge of open desert, foothills, and the Truckee River corridor makes wildlife pressure a year-round reality. Raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and other nuisance animals move onto properties in search of shelter and food, and they don’t distinguish between suburban neighborhoods and commercial districts. If you’re not sure what’s gotten in, we can identify it and take care of it.

Call us today at (775) 535-5788 to schedule a free wildlife removal estimate. We serve Reno, Sparks, and the surrounding Greater Reno area with prompt, professional service backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Wildlife We Remove in Reno

Different animals create different problems, and effective removal starts with knowing what you’re dealing with. We have dedicated removal services for the nuisance animals most commonly encountered on Reno properties.

Raccoons: Highly adaptable and destructive in attics and crawlspaces. Raccoons tear insulation, contaminate surfaces with droppings, and damage roofline structures to create or widen entry points.
Skunks: Skunks dig under decks, porches, and sheds to den, and their foraging for grubs causes visible lawn damage. Beyond the odor problem, they carry disease risk that makes prompt removal important.
Squirrels: Squirrels enter through roofline gaps and damaged vents, then chew wiring and insulation once inside. That chewing creates both structural and fire-safety concerns.

Our services also address gophers, opossums, birds, and other nuisance animals that damage landscaping, structures, or outdoor areas. Under Nevada law, a valid trapping license is required for wildlife removal, and our team operates in full compliance with state and Washoe County regulations.

Signs of Wildlife Activity on Your Property

Wildlife intrusions often go undetected until the damage is already done. Knowing what to look for helps you act before a minor problem becomes a costly one.

Inside the Structure
Scratching, thumping, or scurrying sounds in attics, walls, or crawlspaces are often the first sign an animal has found its way in. Strong animal odors and droppings in crawlspaces or garages are also common indicators. Chewed wiring, damaged insulation, or torn ductwork signal an animal has been active for some time.

At the Roofline & Foundation
Damaged soffits, bent or missing vent covers, and gaps where the roofline meets the structure are common entry points. Burrowing under decks, sheds, or porches indicates denning activity at ground level.

In the Yard
Cone-shaped holes scattered across a lawn typically indicate skunk activity from grub foraging. Repeatedly tipped garbage cans, disturbed pet food, and digging along fence lines are also worth noting.

Wildlife-related health risks in the Reno region are real. Droppings from raccoons and other animals can carry pathogens that pose risks to people and pets, which makes prompt removal and professional cleanup important rather than optional.

How We Handle Wildlife Removal in Reno

Every wildlife job begins with a thorough property inspection. We identify the species present, map the areas of activity, and evaluate potential entry points and structural vulnerabilities before any removal work begins. Getting that assessment right is what makes the rest of the process effective.

Once we know what we’re working with, we use humane removal methods that comply with Nevada state and Washoe County wildlife handling requirements. After the animal is removed, we move to exclusion: sealing entry holes and reinforcing vulnerable areas with appropriate materials. Exclusion is what helps make removal more lasting rather than temporary. Without it, the same entry points can invite the next animal in.

We provide follow-up prevention guidance after every job and keep you informed at each stage. You won’t be left wondering what was found or what was done. Our satisfaction guarantee covers the work, and if something isn’t right, we address it.

Residential & Commercial Wildlife Removal in Reno & Sparks

We serve both homeowners and business owners throughout Reno and Sparks, and our approach adapts to the property. A home near the Truckee River corridor faces different wildlife pressure than a commercial property in a developed district, and our recommendations reflect that difference.

Residential properties near open land, foothills, or riparian areas see elevated activity from raccoons, skunks, and squirrels seeking shelter and food. We inspect those properties for both active intrusions and the structural vulnerabilities that invite them.

Commercial clients have additional concerns. Wildlife activity in or around a retail building, restaurant, or office space can affect customer safety, health code compliance, and property integrity. We understand that commercial situations often require discreet, scheduled service to avoid disrupting operations, and we work with that in mind.

Reducing Wildlife Attractants Around Your Property

Professional removal addresses the animals that are already there. These steps help reduce the conditions that bring wildlife onto your property in the first place.

Secure food sources: Use garbage cans with locking lids, bring in pet food overnight, and pick up fallen fruit from trees regularly.
Remove shelter options: Block gaps under decks and sheds, cap chimneys, seal crawlspace vents, and trim tree branches that provide roofline access.
Treat for grubs: Lawn grub treatment reduces skunk foraging, one of the most common causes of skunk activity near Reno homes.
Maintain exclusion points: Check roofline vents, soffits, and foundation gaps seasonally, especially on properties near the Truckee River corridor or open desert edges where wildlife pressure is sustained.

These measures lower the risk of wildlife returning between service visits. For properties in higher-pressure areas, more frequent inspection and proactive exclusion maintenance may be worth discussing with our team.
