Serving Ventura County | Santa Barbara County
If you’ve woken up to the sound of scurrying in your attic or the frustrating sight of a garden upturned, you know very well it’s a wildlife infestation. Such intrusions not only disrupt the peace but also pose health risks and potential damage to your property. That’s where comprehensive wildlife control and exclusion services come in – offering safe, humane, and lasting solutions.
Wildlife presence could lead to structural damage, contaminated food sources, and disease. There’s also the emotional toll, as the presence of wildlife can create anxiety and make your spaces feel less secure. O'Connor Pest Control’s pest control services go beyond just removal. We offer a comprehensive protection plan involving assessment, humane removal, exclusion techniques, and ongoing support to keep these pests off your property.
Risks of Nuisance Wildlife
- Structural Damage: From gnawed wires and chewed insulation to compromised foundations and torn-up attic spaces, nuisance wildlife can cause extensive (and expensive) damage to your home or business.
- Health Hazards: Wildlife can carry a host of diseases and parasites that pose serious risks to you, your family, and your pets.
- Emotional Stress: The sounds of scurrying in your walls or attic, the sight of an upturned garden, or the worry of encountering a wild animal in your living space can take a real emotional toll.
- Ongoing Infestations: Without proper exclusion, wildlife removal is often only a temporary fix.
What is Wildlife Exclusion?
Wildlife exclusion is the process of making your property inaccessible to pest animals. It’s a proactive and humane strategy to prevent wildlife from entering and nesting in your home. Exclusion services typically include sealing entry points (vents, chimneys, gaps under doors), installing barriers or screens, and applying repellents in key areas.
Benefits of Wildlife Exclusion
Thinking about securing your property against wildlife may seem daunting, but with a tailored exclusion service, you’re not just solving a problem – you’re investing in peace of mind. Here are some key benefits of having professional exclusion:
- Prevents damages to home and property
- Keeps food sources safe and uncontaminated
- Protects against wildlife-related diseases
- Reduces the need for repeat wildlife removal services

Gopher Control
With their knack for tunneling, gophers create unique challenges. Gophers prefer loose, sandy soil with edible plant cover, making lawns and crop fields ideal homes for them. This is why we utilize traps or baiting systems designed specifically for this pest.
Mole Control
When moles dig tunnels, all that dirt gets piled in a “mole hill” near the entrance to the tunnel. This is how they can wreak havoc on your lawn and garden, and they’re a strong indicator that you have moles in your yard. To address this, we advise on soil treatment to reduce the food sources that attract moles.
Squirrel Control
What type of damage can a squirrel inflict upon your home? Squirrels can:
- Tear up insulation, fabrics, paper products, and more to make nests
- Gnaw on wires and cables, causing electrical damage or worse – electrical fires
- Cause all manner of structural damage to your home
During our process, we utilize one-way doors and live traps to safely remove the squirrels.
