Wildlife Removal in Delaware County, PA

Delaware County is the newest county on our route list, and it got there the usual way: Delco homeowners kept calling, and we kept saying yes until it made sense to make it official. The company itself isn't new at any of this — we've spent more than two decades on southeastern Pennsylvania rooflines, and the same family carpentry background that built our reputation next door in Montgomery County now covers every township from Radnor to Ridley.

Humane trapping and eviction, handled in accordance with Pennsylvania Game Commission regulations
Entry points rebuilt with fitted, exterior-grade materials that match the house
A written 10-year guarantee standing behind every exclusion point

Same family, same standards, shorter drive for Delco.

What We Remove

Species We Handle in Delaware County

Bat Removal

Emergency response for a bat in the house, one-way eviction for the colony upstairs, and a sealed, decontaminated attic after.

Raccoon Removal

Live-trapped with kits and mother kept together, then the ripped-open soffit or fascia rebuilt for good.

Delco's number-one attic tenant — grays and flying squirrels trapped out and sealed out.

Burrows under stoops, sheds, and patio slabs trapped and barricaded with buried barriers.

Starlings out of bathroom and dryer vents, nests cleared, screens installed that actually hold.

Local Knowledge

First-Ring Suburbs, Fully Grown Trees

Delco's housing was largely built in two big pushes, and wildlife has learned both of them by heart. The streetcar-era twins of Drexel Hill, Havertown, and Upper Darby are over a century old now — their wood cornices, box gutters, and shared rooflines develop gaps that birds, squirrels, and bats exploit, and on a twin, your neighbor's open soffit is effectively your problem too. The postwar wave gave the county its capes and split-levels, in Springfield, Broomall, and beyond, and their original aluminum fascia, gable vents, and cantilevered overhangs are aging out at seventy. Up along the Main Line edge in Radnor and Wayne, larger stone homes add slate roofs and ornamental vents to the mix.

What makes the county especially busy is how mature it is. Delco's street trees were planted generations ago, and a full canopy means squirrels and raccoons can reach most rooflines without touching the ground. Ridley Creek, Crum Creek, Darby Creek, and the big park lands around Media and Newtown Square move wildlife through the densest blocks in the county like green highways.

How We Work

New to the Route. Not New to the Work.

Every Delaware County job runs on the process we've refined for more than two decades: a free, full-structure inspection; a written, itemized estimate; humane removal with live traps and one-way devices; then carpentry-grade repairs finished to match your home. The written 10-year guarantee covers every point we seal — and because Delco borders our home county, getting back to you fast is easy, on the first visit or the follow-up.

Common Questions

Delaware County Wildlife FAQ

Do you really cover all of Delco now?

Yes — Delaware County is a full member of our service area, from Radnor and Wayne down through Media, Springfield, Havertown, Drexel Hill, Broomall, and Newtown Square. Same crew, same guarantee as our home county next door.

What animals cause the most trouble in Delaware County?

Squirrels are the runaway leader — mature trees over older roofs will do that — followed by raccoons in soffits, bats in twins and capes, and birds in vents every spring.

My house is a twin. Does that change anything?

It changes the inspection. Shared rooflines and party walls mean an animal can enter over the neighbor's side and end up in your attic, so we look at the whole roof system, not just your half, before we quote the fix.

What does an inspection cost?

Nothing. We inspect the full structure, show you what we found, and put the price in a written itemized estimate before any work is scheduled.

Do you use poison for mice or rats?

No — not for rodents, not for anything. Targeted trapping and exclusion, handled humanely and in accordance with Pennsylvania Game Commission regulations.

How fast can you get here, and what about emergencies?

Delco is minutes from home base, so same-day response is the norm. A bat in your living space is a priority call any hour — phone (267) 647-6674 instead of using the contact form.

Case Study: Drexel Hill — Squirrels in the Cornice of a 1920s Twin

A Drexel Hill homeowner heard gnawing above a front bedroom every morning at dawn. The inspection traced it to a gray squirrel entry where the twin's wooden cornice had separated at the party-wall line — with droppings showing traffic in both attics, hers and the neighbor's. With the neighbor's go-ahead, we treated the roofline as one structure: trapped four squirrels over a week, rebuilt the failed cornice section in kind, and sealed the full shared edge with chew-proof metal tucked behind the trim. Both halves got quiet the same week, and both owners hold the written 10-year guarantee on the work.
