Why You Shouldn’t Delay Addressing Wildlife Animals Invaders on Your Property
While some wildlife may venture upon your home or business by accident and quickly scurry away, some may choose to stick around longer, which can be potentially dangerous. It’s important to call professionals when you notice wildlife presence before they cause serious damage or hurt someone.
Some of the potential problems intruding wildlife can bring include:
- Diseases: Animals like raccoons, possums, and armadillos can carry harmful diseases. Raccoons are primary carriers of rabies and raccoon roundworm. While possums are resistant to rabies, they can carry other parasites, and armadillos are known to carry the bacteria that cause leprosy.
- Property damage: While most property damage caused by wildlife can be costly to repair, some can be life-threatening. For example, raccoons are known for tearing up attic ductwork and insulation. The tunneling behavior of armadillos can weaken sidewalks, driveways, and even your home's foundation.
- Bites and scratches: A cornered raccoon or possum can become aggressive and bite or scratch to defend itself, potentially transmitting diseases.
- Noise: It’ll be hard to sleep at night if wildlife is present. These animals are often nocturnal, becoming active just as you are trying to get rest. The heavy thumping of a raccoon in the attic or the hissing of a possum under the porch can easily disrupt your sleep.
- Foul odors: One of the biggest giveaways of a wildlife presence is the unpleasant smells they emit. Raccoons often create communal "latrines" that produce a powerful, unpleasant smell, and armadillos have a distinct, musky odor that can permeate an area.

Wildlife We Target
Since 1998, Sandpiper Pest Control has been committed to providing residential and commercial customers with speedy solutions to all their pest control needs. Each of our experienced wildlife removal technicians is extensively trained in identifying pests and inspecting properties to pinpoint where these intruders like to hide. Through our investigation practices, we can develop an effective plan of action to capture the animal and keep them out permanently.
We remove Sebastian’s most common problem animals, including:
- Raccoons: Highly intelligent and adaptable, raccoons can tear through shingles, vents, and soffits to access your attic and use it as a den. They often raid garbage cans and can cause significant property damage.
- Possums: These opportunistic animals often seek shelter under decks, in sheds, and in crawl spaces. They may fight with pets and leave behind foul-smelling droppings.
- Armadillos: As expert diggers, armadillos can ruin a lawn or garden overnight. Their burrowing can create tripping hazards and cause damage to foundations, sidewalks, and pools.
Our methods include live trapping and relocation, as well as exclusion techniques that seal entry points to prevent animals from returning. We can identify an ideal solution for your specific situation. As an additional service, we can remove any droppings left behind, giving you peace of mind that your property is safe and secure.

So far, so good! We've been with Sandpiper since we moved to Sebastian 6 months ago. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to replace my former hometown pest control company in Clermont when I moved, but Sandpiper proved my fears to be unwarranted! I love that small, local business experience and that's what I get with Sandpiper Pest Control. Keep up the great work, Sandpiper!
