Western Nevada's Basement & Crawlspace Wildlife Control Service

Basements and crawlspaces are often out of sight, but they’re prime spots for wildlife and pest activity. At Critter Bro, we’ve spent over 50 years safeguarding homes across Western Nevada from destructive intruders that thrive in these dark, tucked-away areas.

From rodents and raccoons to snakes and woodchucks, our team uses humane, environmentally friendly methods to remove unwanted animals, repair damage, and reinforce your property against future infestations. Your foundation deserves professional protection—and that’s what we’re here to deliver.

Common Nuisance Animals that Damage Subbasement and Crawl Spaces

Rodents (Rats & Mice)

Rodents are common basement invaders and can multiply quickly if left unchecked.

• Chew on wires, creating a fire hazard

• Destroy insulation by nesting and urinating

• Contaminate surfaces with droppings and urine, spreading diseases

Squirrels

Though more commonly found in attics, squirrels often seek shelter in crawlspaces.

• Gnaw through wood and wiring, causing potential fires

• Tear apart insulation for nesting

• Create loud noises when running and scratching

Raccoons

Raccoons are persistent and powerful pests that exploit weak points in your foundation.

• Tear off shingles or soffits to gain access

• Destroy insulation and ductwork when nesting

• Carry diseases like rabies and roundworms

Bats

Basements and crawlspaces provide cool, quiet areas for bats to roost.

• Roost in crawl spaces, leaving behind hazardous guano

• Create high-pitched noises at night

• Carry diseases like rabies and spread histoplasmosis

Opossums

Opossums are notorious for turning basements into nesting zones.

• Tear apart insulation and wiring when nesting

• Leave droppings that carry bacteria and parasites

• Attract fleas and ticks, creating a secondary infestation

Skunks

Their burrowing and odor make skunks a major concern for homeowners.

• Dig under foundations, causing structural weakening

• Release a strong, lingering odor when threatened

• Carry rabies and other harmful diseases

Carpenter Ants

These wood-destroying insects quietly weaken your home’s structure over time.

• Tunnel through damp or rotting wood, weakening support beams

• Leave sawdust-like debris (frass) around nesting areas

• Cause long-term structural damage

Woodchucks (Groundhogs)

These large burrowers can compromise your home’s foundation from below.

• Dig large burrows under foundations, leading to cracks

• Gnaw on wood, damaging support beams and trim

• Contribute to soil erosion near structures

Protect your foundation from wildlife damage before it gets worse.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick was kind and responsive. He helped me with pigeon exclusion services. The first time he installed the exclusion ,  two pigeon nests with young pigeons were left behind (by accident) and he returned to make sure the pigeons were safely removed and redid the service.
Due to having to come multiple times he also did a quick pressure wash of the front and side walkway where there was a lot of pigeon droppings. Great customer service ! Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reviewed several websites of pest control firms to  eradicate my home’s roof of nesting pigeons and to barricade future access to the space under my solar panels. The Critter Brothers website showed a wire mesh fencing product which i thought would work better than the plastic or metal spikes shown on other websites. Nick called me right back when i called to inquire and provided me a quote within a day.  The work was scheduled within a week and was completed over parts of 2 days.  Nick was responsive and personable and answered all my questions.  He provided me photos of the work for my files.  Thank you so much.
