Wildlife Removal
Our certified technicians humanely remove raccoons, bats, squirrels, and other wildlife from residential and commercial properties. Using specialized equipment and relocation techniques, we ensure safe capture while minimizing stress to animals. Services include identifying entry points and implementing exclusion strategies to prevent future infestations.
Structural Repairs
We repair wildlife-related damage to attics, crawl spaces, and exteriors. Our team replaces chewed insulation, reinforces entry points, and restores ventilation systems. All repairs come with a five-year warranty against re-entry, ensuring long-lasting protection for your property.
Exclusion Services
Our exclusion experts seal vents, cracks, and gaps using durable materials to prevent wildlife re-entry. Techniques include installing chimney caps, vent screens, and underground barriers. This proactive approach protects properties while maintaining aesthetic integrity through discreet installations.
Disinfection Services
We eliminate health hazards from animal waste using EPA-approved disinfectants. Our technicians remove contaminated materials, sanitize affected areas, and deodorize spaces to restore safe living conditions. This critical step prevents disease transmission and eliminates lingering odors attracting new pests.
24/7 Emergency Service
Available round-the-clock for urgent wildlife situations, our emergency team responds promptly to calls about aggressive animals or immediate threats. Trained technicians assess risks, implement containment strategies, and provide same-day solutions for critical pest control needs.

Very happy with service. Front office was prompt to reply, offer quote, and schedule service. DC pest guru JP arrived on time and a total professional. Helped us with our birds nest issue, above and beyond. Rates are competitive from the quotes I got. I'm using them again for another issue you should to. Service: General wildlife removal

Aaron and them team from Adcock's did an amazing job removing a momma raccoon and her babies from my chimney. They were onsite within a day of me contacting them, provided great communication about the inspection and next steps, and followed up daily to check traps and then safely remove the animals without damaging my house. 100% recommend. Thank you!

They technicians seemed very knowledgeable and thorough. I was happy with the services provided. I would recommend this company to others again because so far I have only received great feedback when I have referred them.

We recently used Adcock's for a mice problem and they were, as always, responsive, efficient and 100% professional. We had used them back in 2006 or 2007 for a racoon problem--and when I contacted them this time, Stephanie on the phone dug up the previous records in a matter of seconds. Chris, who came for the inspection (and initial round of traps) was detailed in his inspection and explanation of proposed repairs. John, who came for the actual repairs, was swift and totally efficient and thorough in his work. Joseph, who came for the second set of traps, was painstaking in his work. All in all, a 100% profession and efficient time--who even managed to get us an earlier time slot on not one but two occasions. Will ABSOLUTELY use them for all needs on this front in the future.

Adcocks is great. I've used them multiple times with great success. If you have a critter you need to evict I recommend them highly.

Adcock's has helped us out three times over the years we've lived in our 1921 bungalow -- squirrels in the attic in 2010, then mouse concerns in 2012 and this month. In each case they were efficient, professional, and thorough. Bob took the time to explain what was going on, point out and resolve problem areas, and offer advice for what to do going forward; Aaron just finished an elegant and tidy fix for our basement door threshold. I'm so glad we've got them nearby and unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone who needs rodent exclusion work.
