Why Choose Humane Wildlife Exclusion & Eviction?
Many homeowners assume that traditional pest control operators who trap animals are humanely taking them to a “nice forest” to be released. In reality, traditional trapping is an endless, expensive loop that often results in unnecessary animal death while failing to secure your home. Here is the biology-based truth on why structural exclusion and on-site eviction is the only permanent, humane solution.
The Cruel Reality of Traditional Trapping
Under the regulations of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), rabies vector species —which include raccoons, skunks, and foxes—cannot legally be relocated off-site. The state enforces this rule strictly to prevent the spread of rabies to new regions.
Because of this law, traditional pest operators who trap raccoons or skunks and haul them away are legally required to euthanize them. Healthy, protective animal parents are often shot or euthanized in gas chambers simply because they sought shelter. At Go On, Git!, we refuse to participate in this cycle.
The Ecological Failure of Off-Site Relocation
Some companies relocate animals illegally, or well-meaning homeowners try to do it themselves. However, relocating a wild animal to an unfamiliar forest or state park is rarely humane:
- Territorial Clashes: The new forest is already occupied by existing animals. A relocated raccoon or skunk will be attacked by territory holders, leading to severe injury or death.
- Starvation & Exposure: Dumped in an unfamiliar territory, the animal does not know where to find water, food, or safe shelter during freezing mountain nights or summer heat.
- Spreading Disease: Moving stressed animals between areas increases the transmission of rabies, distemper, and parasitic roundworms to healthy local wildlife populations.
The Biological Vacuum Effect
If you trap and kill an animal but leave the physical entry point open, the problem is not solved. Animals leave heavy scent trails and pheromones behind. Removing one animal simply creates a territorial vacuum. Neighboring wildlife will quickly discover the open entry breach and move in, starting the damage all over again. You end up paying for traps repeatedly while your home continues to be damaged.
Our Solution: On-Site Release & Structural Sealing
The only permanent, legal, and truly humane solution is to fix the building, not the animals. At Go On, Git!, our Wildlife Control Agents use biology-based eviction methods (like custom one-way doors and heated baby box reunifications) that release healthy animals directly on-site. The animals remain within their familiar home range, where they already know where alternate shelters and food sources are located.
Simultaneously, we structurally seal your home’s entry points using heavy-gauge galvanized steel mesh, flashing, and professional sealants. The wildlife stays outside in nature where they belong, and your home remains permanently protected.
Begin with a Wildlife Safety Assessment
Every project starts with a detailed $149 Wildlife Safety Assessment and Consultation. Our licensed Wildlife Control Agents perform a safety walk-through of your attic, foundation, and roofline, deploy thermal imaging, and deliver a custom structural sealing proposal.
The $149 fee is credited 100% back toward your exclusion or bee relocation service.
