Common Nuisance Wildlife in Southern California

Each animal needs a tailored, humane approach — and sealing them out is as important as removing them.

Increasingly common in neighborhoods, posing risks to pets and creating safety concerns for residents.

Tree & Ground Squirrels

chew into attics and structures and burrow around foundations and slopes.

Opossums

shelter under decks, sheds, and crawl spaces and raid pet food and trash.

Raccoon illustration, nocturnal mammal known for entering attics and scavenging food sources

Raccoons

strong, clever animals that nest in attics and chimneys and damage roofs and vents.

Skunk illustration, burrowing animal known for strong odor and digging near structures

Skunks & Others

Identifying the animal and its access points lets us remove it humanely and keep it out.

Signs of a Wildlife Problem

Wildlife usually announces itself through noise, damage, and droppings.

Why Wildlife Conflicts Happen in Southern California

San Diego’s canyons, open space, and trail-adjacent neighborhoods put homes right at the edge of wildlife habitat, so squirrels, raccoons, opossums, and skunks regularly seek shelter and food in attics, crawl spaces, and yards. Mild weather keeps them active year-round.

Because animals return to easy access points, humane removal must be paired with exclusion and repairs so others don’t move in.

How Lloyd Pest Control Handles Wildlife

We remove the animal humanely, seal the access points, and repair the damage.

Assessment

we identify the species, entry points, and any young, and plan a humane removal.

Humane Trapping & Removal

we remove the animal using humane methods appropriate to the species.

Exclusion & Repairs

we seal entry points and repair damaged vents, soffits, and screens so wildlife can’t return.

Follow-Up & Sanitation

we verify the property is secure and can clean and sanitize affected areas.

The result: wildlife removed humanely and kept out for good.

Residential Wildlife Control

We protect every kind of Southern California home:

  • Single-family homes
  • Apartments & condos
  • Townhomes & duplexes

Wildlife in an attic or under a deck can damage structures, wiring, and insulation and pose health risks. We focus on humane removal plus the exclusion and repairs that actually keep animals from coming back — the step DIY trapping usually misses.

Choose from:

  • One-time treatments for immediate issues
  • Monthly maintenance plans for year-round protection (recommended)

Commercial Wildlife Control

Wildlife threatens grounds, structures, and safety at many properties. Lloyd provides humane removal and exclusion for:

  • Property managers & HOAs
  • Schools & campuses
  • Government & municipal sites
  • Warehouses & industrial sites
  • Other businesses with grounds

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We use humane trapping and removal methods appropriate to each species and focus on sealing animals out rather than harming them, following regulations on relocation and protected species.

Removing the animal isn’t enough — others will use the same open vents, soffits, and gaps. Sealing entry points and repairing damage is what keeps wildlife from returning.

Squirrels, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and other nuisance wildlife. Gophers, birds, and rodents have their own dedicated services and pages.

Trapping and removal start around $130, with exclusion and repairs custom-quoted by the job. A free assessment determines the scope and an exact price.

We prioritize active wildlife intrusions and can often schedule quickly. The fastest way to start is a free assessment so we can plan a safe, humane removal.
