Wildlife We Remove in Melvindale
Humane live trapping for the nuisance wildlife most common to Melvindale and Wayne County.
How Our Program Works
Our 5-visit program goes beyond setting a trap. Every job starts with a full property inspection.
Full Property Inspection
We assess your property for signs of animal activity, entry points, and conditions attracting wildlife — food sources, shelter opportunities, and access routes.
Trap Placement
Live traps are strategically positioned based on inspection findings and the target animal’s behavior. Type, quantity, and placement are determined by our technicians.
Daily Trap Checks
We return each day to check traps, remove captured animals, refresh baits, and adjust placement — minimizing the time any animal spends in a trap.
Optional Entry Point Seal-Up
If entry points are identified during the inspection, we offer temporary seal-up using steel wool, foam, caulk, or hardware cloth, quoted separately on-site.
Pricing
Straightforward pricing with no surprises. All costs are explained before work begins.
Programs starting on a Monday include 5 visits. Programs starting mid-week include 6 visits due to weekend scheduling. See full terms →

Why Wildlife Is a Common Issue in Melvindale
Melvindale sits directly along the lower Rouge River, one of the most significant wildlife corridors in Wayne County. Raccoons travel the river’s banks regularly and move into residential neighborhoods to forage and den — garages, attics, and crawlspaces on Melvindale’s older homes are common targets. The city’s compact layout and alley network give raccoons and opossums easy routes through the community at night.
Skunks den under decks, porches, and concrete steps throughout Melvindale, particularly in fall. Squirrels are active year-round and enter attics through gaps in aging soffits and rooflines common to the area’s older housing stock. The proximity to Dearborn, Allen Park, and the River Rouge floodplain keeps wildlife pressure consistent year-round.
Opossums — more active here than in many surrounding communities due to the river corridor and alley network. Frequently den under structures and in crawlspaces.
Skunks — den under decks, porches, and concrete steps throughout the city. Most active late winter through fall.
Squirrels — enter attics through gaps in aging soffits and rooflines common to Melvindale’s older homes. Attic entry peaks in fall.
Groundhogs — less common in the city’s denser areas but present along rear fence lines and near foundation plantings.
