Your Local Wildlife Removal Team in Franklin
Franklin is the largest town in Macon County and one of the most active wildlife-call communities in Western North Carolina, owing to its combination of established residential neighborhoods with mature canopy trees, retirement properties on wooded acreage outside town, and proximity to the Nantahala National Forest. Raccoon attic calls are common year-round in Franklin's older neighborhoods where wood soffits and brick veneer provide numerous entry points. Squirrels are a consistent problem in wooded subdivisions along the Little Tennessee River corridor. Franklin's gemstone-rich rocky terrain and numerous creek drainages also create excellent habitat for copperheads and rat snakes, which regularly appear in garages, outbuildings, and near foundations.
Franklin's significant retirement population includes many homeowners in single-story homes with accessible attic space who may not notice the early signs of wildlife activity above the ceiling until the infestation is well established. Early inspection after hearing any attic sounds is particularly important in these homes, where the attic access hatch may not have been opened in years.

Franklin Wildlife Removal - FAQs
We have a wooded lot off Highway 64 near Franklin. Are raccoon attic problems common on acreage properties?
Acreage properties with mature hardwood canopy and outbuildings have higher raccoon pressure than urban Franklin lots, because the forest provides travel routes directly to the roofline. These properties also tend to have older or less frequently maintained structures with more entry points. We recommend an inspection if your roofline has not been checked in the past 3 to 4 years.
Are there bat colonies in the Franklin area?
Yes. Several species, including little brown bats and big brown bats, are common in the Franklin area. Older homes and buildings with stone or brick construction and wood fascia are the most frequent roost sites. Bat exclusion cannot be performed between May 1 and August 15 in North Carolina. Call early in the spring if you suspect a bat colony.
