It is nicknamed &#8220;Muletown&#8221; as an homage to its early years as a mule-trading town. Its balance of woods and agriculture with cool winters and hot summers make it an ideal region for many species to call home, from bobcats and coyotes to raccoons, squirrels, bats, and weasels and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Columbia suffers from the same population growth issues as many other livable cities, including the loss of habitat for its wildlife that causes them to seek out living quarters near people where food and shelter are plentiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tennessee, any person looking to trap and relocate wildlife must get a Wildlife Capture, Transport and Release Permit from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency as well as the written permission of the landowner on whose property you want to release the animal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"steps-cards\" aria-label=\"cards showing easy steps\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"section-intro row\">\n      <h2 class=\"section-title\">Critter Control Wildlife Removal Process<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"section-desc\">\n        <p><p>Critter Control is here for you every step of the way in the wildlife removal process. From inspection to removal\u2014and even exclusion and repair\u2014we have the services you need to get rid of raccoons, rodents, and other nuisances fast. First, we identify the animal on the property, then use humane methods to remove the animal and secure weak points where more could enter.

Depending on the situation, a one-way door or excluder valve can be installed. An excluder valve works by allowing the raccoon to leave but blocks its reentry. The choice of device is largely dependent on the season and location of the raccoons on your property. Direct capture is not commonly used because raccoons are a rabies vector species. If we must trap, we place traps strategically to safely catch the raccoons and we check traps frequently, based on state laws.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Repairs\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeRepairs.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a wrench decoration logo\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Repairs<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>We provide a wide range of repair and restoration services.
