Homes in Grosse Pointe Farms are known for their historic architecture, mature tree coverage, and proximity to the lake. While those features add character and beauty, they also create ideal shelter opportunities for wildlife.

Older rooflines, decorative soffits, attic vents, and chimney gaps can provide discreet entry points. Once animals gain access, removal alone isn’t enough - the structure must be properly reinforced to prevent recurrence.

For over 22 years, Ancon has provided structured wildlife removal and exclusion services built around long-term protection - not temporary fixes.

Inspection and Entry-Point Detection

Bat Removal

Lake Proximity + Attic Spaces = Ideal Roosting Conditions

Communities near water often see increased bat activity due to insect populations and roosting opportunities. Attics, dormers, and upper roof cavities offer warmth and protection - especially during maternity season.

Bat removal requires careful timing and compliance with Michigan wildlife regulations. Improper sealing or mistimed exclusion can create larger problems.

Our bat removal process includes:

  • Detailed inspection of rooflines, dormers, vents, and ridge areas
  • Identification of all active and secondary entry points
  • Professional installation of one-way exclusion devices
  • Permanent sealing and structural reinforcement after colony exit

Precision and timing are critical. Bat exclusion is not a patch-and-go service..

Squirrel Removal

Aggressive Entry & Rapid Nesting

Squirrels frequently target homes with overhanging tree limbs and accessible rooflines. During breeding seasons, they actively chew through fascia, ridge vents, and soffits to create nesting sites inside attic insulation.

In established neighborhoods with mature trees, this is especially common.

Signs of squirrel intrusion include:

  • Scratching and thumping noises (often early morning)
  • Chewed trim or roof edges
  • Torn insulation
  • Visible gaps along rooflines

Our squirrel removal services focus on:

  • Identifying the primary entry point
  • Safe, humane removal
  • Reinforcing structural vulnerabilities with durable exclusion materials
  • Closing secondary openings before they become future access points

If entry points aren’t reinforced properly, repeat intrusion is common.

Testimonials

  • After calling and hiring a competitor company, which failed miserably at solving my squirrel problem, I found Ancon Wildlife Services. Dave came out and performed an inspection of my home and informed me that the solution to my problem would be accomplished through a process known as exclusion. The other company only offered trapping services and didn't seem as knowledgeable. Dave informed me that a good portion of Ancon's customers have had a similar experience with other animal control companies. from start to finish I felt good about doing business with Ancon. I highly reccomend their service and I wish I would have called them first.

  • Mike was awesome! my experience should have been filmed and put on T.V.! Seriously. We were hearing chirping noises in our fire place and called Ancon. Mike climbed up on the roof and some how motivated the raccoon to the top. He then wrestled the critter out of the chimney with a pole of some sort and put it in cage. WOW! He wasnt done yet...he went back in the living room and removed the baby raccoons from the fireplace put them in cage and informed me that he would relocate the family all together. Fearless and caring, these guys are incredible! He then installed an animal proof chimney cap to prevent any future animal problems. Top notch service and excitement to boot.
