Wildlife removal in Swarthmore
Wildlife Removal in Swarthmore, PA
Raccoons, opossums, foxes and other animals in the attic, walls, porch or yard.
What you are dealing with
What you can see is usually part of it.
Swarthmore sits between the Crum Woods and Little Crum Creek, so animals live a short walk from most front doors. Raccoons, opossums, foxes, skunks and groundhogs all pass through yards here.
A noise in the ceiling or a smell under the porch usually means one of them found a gap. You do not have to know which animal it is. Tell us where you notice it and when.
Any of these help us work out what is in there.
- Thumping or scratching above a ceiling
- Something moving under the porch or back steps
- Droppings in the attic, garage or basement
- A vent cover, screen or piece of trim pulled loose
- A smell that does not go away

What happens next
How the job runs.
Call and describe it
Where you hear or see it, what time of day, and anything it has damaged. That tells us what to bring.
We find it and its way in
We check the spot you describe, then walk the roof edge, chimney, porch and foundation for the opening.
We take it out and shut the gap
We remove the animal and close the opening so the next one cannot use it.
Price and timing
What changes the price.
If the animal is out in the open we can often deal with it in one visit. One living inside the house usually takes a trap and a return visit. We tell you which before we start.
- The animal and how many there are
- How high or tight the opening is
- Whether young are inside
- How much repair you want done

Do you take stray dogs or cats?
No. Swarthmore Animal Control is a private wildlife company. For a stray dog or cat, call the borough or your local SPCA.
