Wildlife Inspection Services
If you’re hearing scratching in the attic, noticing strange odors, or seeing signs of animal activity around your home, a professional inspection is the first step toward solving the problem.
At Great Lakes Animal Removal, our inspections are designed to identify the source of the issue — not just the symptoms.
What Our Inspection Includes
🔍 Exterior Evaluation
We carefully examine your roofline, soffits, vents, foundation, decks, sheds, and other vulnerable areas to locate active entry points and structural weaknesses.
🏠 Attic & Interior Assessment
If accessible, we inspect attic spaces for nesting materials, droppings, insulation damage, and signs of ongoing activity.
🐾 Species Identification
Different animals require different removal methods. We identify the species involved to determine the safest and most effective plan of action.
📋
Clear Plan of Action
After the inspection, we explain:
- How the animal is entering
- The recommended removal method
- Necessary repairs or exclusion work
- Next steps to protect your home
No guessing. No scare tactics. Just a clear path forward.
When Should You Schedule an Inspection?
- Scratching or thumping noises in attic or walls
- Strong or unusual odors
- Visible entry holes or torn vents
- Animals seen entering roof or deck areas
- Yard burrows near structures
Early inspections can prevent more serious structural damage and health risks.

Wildlife Exclusion
Wildlife exclusion is the process of permanently sealing the gaps, openings, and weak points animals use to access your attic, crawlspace, or structure.
This includes:
- Roofline returns
- Soffits and fascia gaps
- Vent openings
- Construction gaps
- Deck and shed access points
We identify all potential entry areas during inspection and secure them properly — not just the obvious hole.
Our Repair Process
🔍 Locate All Entry Points
We inspect the structure to find active and potential access areas.
🛠 Install Durable Metal Flashing
We use metal flashing to reinforce roofline returns and vulnerable edges. Flashing creates a strong physical barrier that prevents animals from chewing, clawing, or reopening access points.
🔒 Secure & Reinforce
We seal gaps and reinforce weak areas to ensure long-term protection.
Our goal is to stop re-entry — not just temporarily block it.
