Wildlife Removal in Detroit: what to expect
Wildlife removal in Detroit covers animals living where they should not: raccoons and squirrels in attics, skunks and groundhogs under decks, sheds and porches, opossums in garages, and birds or bats in vents. Detroit neighborhoods, parks and river corridors, along with suburbs like Livonia, Troy and Shelby Township, all see regular calls.
Good wildlife control is part removal and part construction. The company identifies the animal from tracks, sounds and damage, removes it by trapping or one-way exclusion where the DNR allows, checks for young, and then repairs entry points so the next animal cannot move in. Screening under decks and porches, chimney caps and vent guards are common fixes.
For specific animals, see raccoon removal and bat removal, or compare Metro Detroit wildlife pros.

Licensing and permits in Michigan
Companies that remove nuisance wildlife for a fee need a Wildlife Damage and Nuisance Control permit from the Michigan DNR, which publishes a directory of permitted nuisance animal control businesses. The DNR does not authorize live capture and release of raccoons or squirrels, so ask up front what happens to trapped animals. Bats are protected and have their own DNR rules.
Injured or orphaned young must go to a DNR permitted wildlife rehabilitator, a veterinarian or the DNR, so ask how the company handles young animals. Deck or porch repairs are usually ordinary repairs; confirm with the local building department if framing changes.
