Your Local Wildlife Removal Team in Murphy
Murphy is the county seat of Cherokee County and the largest population center in the far western corner of North Carolina. The town's mix of historic downtown buildings, older residential neighborhoods, and newer developments along Hiwassee Lake and the surrounding ridge lines creates diverse wildlife habitat directly adjacent to residential property. Raccoons entering attics through aging wood soffits and brick veneer roofline gaps are the most frequent wildlife call in Murphy, and bat colonies are increasingly common in the town's older downtown commercial buildings. The Hiwassee River corridor and the surrounding national forest land ensure a consistent and active wildlife population within the service area.
Murphy's lakefront and river-adjacent properties experience higher snake diversity than many communities in the region, with copperheads common around rock features and water's edge. Many older Murphy homes have original wood soffit systems that have never been fully inspected for gaps, creating accumulated entry points that wildlife exploit season after season.

Murphy Wildlife Removal - FAQs
Are bat problems common in Murphy's older buildings and homes?
Yes, particularly in structures built before the 1980s. Murphy's historic commercial buildings and older residential homes have wood, brick, and stone construction with many gaps that bats exploit at the fascia and roofline level. Bat exclusion must be timed around NC's maternity season restriction (May 1 through August 15). We assess the roost and schedule accordingly.
We live near Hiwassee Lake. Are there specific wildlife concerns for lakefront properties?
Lakefront and river-adjacent properties in the Murphy area see higher snake diversity, including Northern water snakes (non-venomous) that are commonly encountered near the water and copperheads along rocky shoreline and dock areas. Opossums and raccoons are also active along lake edges. We serve the full lake corridor.
