Common Wildlife Pests
Ogden / Weber County has a diverse range of wildlife. The most dangerous pests to have on your property include:
Raccoons
Raccoons are surprisingly intelligent, highly adaptable, and creative creatures. When they want to enter a building, they’ll tear through almost anything, including shingles, soffits, wood beams, and vents to make their nests.
Like most wild animals, raccoons carry dangerous diseases, including rabies and leptospirosis. These illnesses can spread through their waste, bites, or scratches, posing serious health risks to both humans and pets.
Skunks
Skunks are quiet, shy, and solitary animals that build their dens in hidden areas around homes, like crawl spaces, decks, porches, sheds, and wood piles. While they don’t cause significant structural damage compared to other animals, they are known for digging in yards and damaging gardens.
The biggest issue with skunks is their highly odorous spray, which can be difficult to remove.
Squirrels
The most common squirrels in Ogden / Weber County are red, fox, and tree squirrels. These critters are curious and opportunistic, meaning they will seek out and find spaces that provide warmth, consistent food, and shelter for their offspring–especially during winter.
Squirrels can carry diseases such as rabies, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and tularemia, which pose health risks to humans and pets. These illnesses can be transmitted through direct contact, exposure to contaminated spaces, or parasites.
Bats
Bats are nocturnal creatures that shelter in homes when looking for protection from predators, warm temperatures, and easy access to food. They are particularly interested in quiet, dark, and secluded areas, which makes attics, barns, and unused structures ideal roosting spots.
The most significant problems caused by bats come from their droppings (guano) and urine. These acidic contaminants can corrode building materials, create strong odors, and spread harmful diseases like histoplasmosis, posing serious health risks to humans and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
It can be both difficult and dangerous to deal with removing wildlife from your building, home, or property. Always contact a specialist if you need help with wildlife control, be it for snake removal, or the threat of a rabid animal. A highly-trained specialist, like the team of experts at Thorn, will make swift and safe recommendations for managing difficult wildlife situations.
Our pricing for wildlife control can range from $150 to $250, but it is often estimated on a case-by-case basis. If you need help, contact us for an estimate today.
Cleaning the exterior of your home and property is the first step to getting rid of unwelcome wildlife. By making the area less attractive and removing harborage or food supply, you can more easily discourage the animal from housing in your area, and trap and remove if necessary.
The animal control specialists at Thorn first inspect a property, and then deploy a removal strategy. They seal structures, remove attractants, and trap and remove the animal. Our teams use electronic monitoring devices on traps to make the process efficient and easy, and prevent the likelihood that an animal is stuck in a trap for a long period of time.
Why choose professional wildlife removal?
While DIY wildlife removal may seem like a cost-effective, simple alternative to professional services, it is often unsafe, time-consuming, and ineffective.
Here’s why you should trust a professional company like Thorn for residential wildlife removal in Ogden / Weber County, UT:
- Professional Training Means Safety: Wildlife can carry dangerous diseases, such as rabies and leptospirosis, which pose serious health risks to everyone on your property. Additionally, animals may become aggressive when cornered, resulting in bites or scratches that could require medical attention.
- Effective, Humane Trapping Methods: DIY trapping can be challenging, stressful, and often ineffective. Without proper experience, you could accidentally trap the wrong animal or fail to secure it safely, causing stress or injury to the critter.
- Educated in Local Regulations: Wildlife removal requires knowledge of local, state, and federal regulations. Some bat species, for example, are protected by federal and state laws, meaning that mishandling them can result in severe penalties.
Professional technicians like Thorn undergo rigorous training to learn safe and effective removal methods. This expertise reduces the risk of disease spreading and minimizes the possibility of injury.
The professionals at Thorn use modern equipment and proven, science-backed techniques to trap wildlife effectively and humanely. Our approach ensures the animals are relocated safely, and we implement preventative measures to protect your home from future intrusions.
At Thorn, we have proudly served Ogden / Weber County residents for over 15 years. Our deep understanding of local rules and regulations ensures that our service is ethical and fully compliant.
