This is the government animal control services operating in Norfolk County and sponsored by the city of Norfolk. This agency typically deals with domestic animal issues involving dogs and cats. This includes things like dangerous dogs, stray cats, pet adoptions, etc. However, this agency will sometimes lend assistance with wildlife concerns. Call (757) 441-5505 and ask if they will assist with your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, do not lie, but if applicable, state that the problem is a public health matter in Norfolk, or that you feel the public safety is at risk, perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.

This is NOT a government agency. It is privately run, and operates on volunteer donations. This is a wildlife rehabber facility that deals strictly with wild animals. They may be able to help you with your wildlife problem, depending on the type of problem. The level of help might depend on their resources at the time. They will almost surely help in any case of an injured wild animal, or an orphaned baby animal, such as a baby squirrel or bird that fell out of a tree, or a baby opossum, etc. Please treat Norfolk Wildlife Rehabilitation kindly and donate if you are able to.

This is the statewide government wildlife agency in Virginia, using your tax dollars to address wildlife issues. Sometimes called the Virginia Fish & Wildlife Agency. Virginia game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and yes, wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. But they also have resources that may apply to your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, state that the problem is a public health matter in Virginia perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.

Yes, the Norfolk police department will sometimes help with wildlife problems! I've seen many cases of the cops chasing down an errant bat in your house or snake in your pool! To increase the chance of success, never lie to the police dispatcher, but if applicable, state that you feel your personal safety is at risk, or the problem is a public safety matter in Norfolk, or a public health issue perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases. Success may come down to whether or not a police officer wants to show up to this call, or is available. It's not always consistent.

If you can't manage to get free service, we can help. No free agency is going to provide the level of service we provide. We specialize in all aspects of wildlife control. It's what we do. If you have animals in your attic, for example, you need someone to inspect your home and attic, identify and remove the animals with advanced techniques and equipment, you need repairs to your roof or vents to keep critters out, and repair and cleanup in your attic. The Norfolk or Virginia government services aren't going to do that for you. Call us if you want to get:

• Fast Service: Usually Same-Day
• Animals Removed From Your Attic, With Home Repairs and Cleanup
• Complete and Permanent Removal of Rodents From Your Home
• Removal of a Bat Colony, or Prevention of Birds on Buildings
• Humane Treatment of Wildlife and Courteous Customer Service

We are not free, but our prices are reasonable and fair for the work we provide. Check our year 2024 prices for wildlife control work. Call us 24/7 to schedule an appointment: 757-550-4886

Norfolk Wildlife Tip:
Catch skunks in the yard - Before you set about learning how to catch skunks in the yard, you need to decide if the skunks you see are the same ones, or if the skunks you see are just passing through occasionally. If you have a true problem skunk, one that returns night after night to dig up your yard, then you do need trapping advice. If the skunks you see are occasional then what you need to do is learn how to make your yard less appealing. Long grass is the crux of a lot of pest issues. Not only does long grass offer protection and concealment for insects, it promotes a moist area for their breeding and growth. Skunks live mostly on bugs as a food source, so a yard with tall, thick grass will be ideal for these animals. Keep your grass mowed and you'll be surprised how few skunks you see. Grass isn't the only issue when it comes to keeping nuisance skunks out of your yard. You need to make sure you aren't leaving out any edible items for the skunks to eat. Pet food, gardens, compost piles, and garbage containers are all locations a skunk will visit for an easy meal.
