Bountiful Wildlife Control
Gopher, Raccoon, Skunk and Squirrel Control for Bountiful Homes
In Bountiful, the wildlife problem we see most is pocket gophers. They push up fresh dirt mounds across lawns, tunnel under garden beds and chew roots and sprinkler lines from below. But Bountiful's mix of established neighborhoods, mature trees, creeks and foothill homes means gophers are rarely the only animal around. Raccoons follow the creeks down from the canyons, skunks den under decks and sheds, rock squirrels burrow along the bench, and older homes give bats and birds easy ways into attics and vents.
Mountain West Pest Control is locally owned and operated. Our Bountiful wildlife control service stops lawn damage, removes animals humanely and seals your home so they can't come back. Every quote is free and same-day.
WILDLIFE WE HANDLE IN BOUNTIFUL
Pocket gophers
Our most common Bountiful wildlife job. They leave crescent-shaped mounds and damage lawns, gardens and irrigation, and decades of watered yards have given them deep, soft soil to work in.
Raccoons
Raccoons use Bountiful's creeks and wooded draws as travel routes, then den under decks, in garages or in attics. Fruit trees, gardens and pet food keep them coming back.
Skunks
Skunks dig under porches, sheds and window wells, and tear up lawns at night looking for grubs. Homes near the foothills and creek corridors see them most.
Squirrels
Rock squirrels burrow under patios, retaining walls and foundations on the bench, and tree squirrels use Bountiful's tall, mature trees to reach the roof and chew into soffits and attic vents.
Bats
Bats roost in attics, gable vents and behind siding, and older Bountiful homes often have the small roofline gaps they need. A colony leaves droppings that should be cleaned up and sealed out.
Birds
Starlings and house sparrows nest in dryer vents, bathroom fans and eaves, and woodpeckers sometimes drill into wood siding on homes near the trees.
WHY BOUNTIFUL HOMES SEE SO MUCH WILDLIFE
Gophers like soft, moist soil with plenty of roots, and decades of irrigated lawns and gardens provide exactly that. Bench homes near the foothills border open land where gophers, rock squirrels and skunks already live. The creeks running down through town give raccoons cover and water, and Bountiful's older housing stock has the vents, chimneys and roofline gaps that bats, birds and squirrels look for.
HOW OUR BOUNTIFUL WILDLIFE CONTROL WORKS
- Inspection: We locate active gopher tunnels and check your home for entry points, nests and signs of animals in the attic or under the deck.
- Lawn treatment: We treat active gopher tunnels to stop the damage.
- Humane removal: We remove raccoons, skunks and squirrels humanely and in line with Utah wildlife regulations.
- Bat and bird exclusion: We use one-way devices so bats leave without trapping young inside, and clear nests and install vent guards for nuisance birds.
- Exclusion and repair: We seal rooflines, vents and crawl spaces and install barriers under decks and sheds.
- Follow-up: We check back for new gopher activity from neighboring yards.
