Relief On Your Schedule

Scratching in the attic. Droppings in the garage. Something digging up the yard or living under the house. A lot of Gainesville homeowners search for “pest control” when the real problem is an animal, and a bug spray won’t fix that.

For over 20 years, Premier Pest & Wildlife Control has removed wildlife and rodents from homes and businesses in Gainesville, all of Alachua County and the surrounding areas. We’re licensed and carry a $1 million liability insurance policy. We find out what’s getting in, remove it using humane, FWC-compliant methods, seal the entry points, and clean up what it left behind.

Hearing Noises? Find Your Problem Fast

Scratching in the attic

Droppings in the attic or garage

Small dark droppings along walls, boxes or insulation usually point to rats or mice. → Rat removal

Holes in the yard

Fresh holes or torn-up turf overnight are often an animal looking for food.

Dead animal smell

A strong, sour smell from a wall, vent or ceiling often means an animal died inside.

Animal under the house

Noises under the floor, or an animal going in and out of a crawlspace or under a deck.

Pest Control or Wildlife Removal: Which Do You Need?

If the problem is insects (roaches, ants, termites, lawn pests), you need pest control. If it’s an animal (squirrels, raccoons, bats, snakes, opossums, armadillos), you need wildlife removal. Rats and mice sit in the middle, and they’re where the two overlap most.

We handle animal and rodent work in-house. For insects and general pest control, our sister company Green Guard Pest Control offers eco-friendly, safe pest control: blockthebugs.com · 352-415-0010.

Rat & Rodent Control

Rats are the most common reason people call an “exterminator” when they need a wildlife company. Our approach is different from a bait-box route: we trap the rats that are inside, close the openings they used, and clean up, so you’re not left with odors in the walls or a fresh wave of rats next month.

Exclusion, Attic Cleanup & Damage Repair

If the gap an animal used stays open, the next one moves in. We seal entry points like soffits, roof returns, vents and AC chases, then deal with the damage: soiled insulation, droppings, chewed wiring and torn vents.

→ Wildlife exclusion

Lifetime warranty available on rodent exclusion services when you get a full exclusion and sign up for recurring pest control service.

How Our Process Works (Inspect → Remove → Seal → Clean)

  1. Inspect. We find out which animal it is, how it’s getting in and what damage it has done.
  2. Remove. We remove the animal with humane, FWC-compliant methods.
  3. Seal. We close the entry points so animals can’t get back in.
  4. Clean. We clean up droppings and damaged material and repair what needs repairing.
