Our service is humane and ultimately more effective than trapping.  We provide
this service as a low-cost alternative to trapping.

What's Wrong With Trapping?

Trapping, by itself, is not the issue. The problem is that trapping includes
moving the animal away. North Carolina state law requires that animals moved
from the place of capture must be killed. There are no exceptions.  
Trapping often grabs the mother animal, leaving babies to die under your
home.  
Trapping does not seal up the entry points - which leaves your home open for
future visitors.  

Important Facts About Animals Invading Your Space

Animals generally are looking for one of two things.

  • Food: Please be careful if you are thinking of blocking off entry points, or
    removing an animal yourself - you could be leaving a litter of babies under
    your house!   
  • A warm dry place, often to have babies: For general issues with animals
    around your house, be sure to bring animal (cat food, dog food) in at night.

How We Can Help

What is exclusion? Exclusion is an array of techniques for discouraging use
of your house or yard by wildlife. Some patience is required, but exclusion is
ultimately more effective, more economical, and far more humane than most
other forms of animal control.

"Relocation" is not a solution! Relocating wildlife is not in the animals’ best
interest – it can break up families, expose animals to diseases or territorial
conflicts, and is illegal. North Carolina state law requires that any ‘nuisance’
wildlife removed from your property be destroyed - and this is exactly what
happens with traditional trapping services. Even if you remove one animal,
others are likely to move in unless the core problem is addressed.

Exclusion addresses the heart of the problem: What attracts wildlife to your
home? How are they getting in? We will work with you to find and remove the
attractants, and seal the access points - thus motivating the animals to move on
within their territory and reducing the likelihood that other animals will move in.

Commonly-Asked Questions:

Question: Why is this separate from CCWR's mission as a rescue
organization?
Answer: The state of North Carolina only allows animals to be rescued if they
are sick, orphaned, or injured. If you are aware of an animal that fits this
description, call our help line (336) 266-1862. If the animal is healthy, and in
your home - CCWR has created its exclusion service to help.

Question: Can I get free advice?
Answer:  Absolutely - our on-call volunteers are happy to give you advice on
what attracts animals, and some effective ways to discourage them. Call our
help line at (336) 266-1862.

Question: Why is there a $50 initial assessment fee?
Answer: If your needs go beyond basic advice, a technician needs to perform
an inspection and assess the situation, and a basic fee is charged. The
exclusion service uses paid technicians, and has basic office expenses.
CCWR, Inc. requires the exclusion service to cover its own expenses. Because
real expenses are incurred to assess a situation, a basic fee is required to
offset those costs. However, if you shop around, you will find out that our fees
are very reasonable. We are here to help the community and wild animals - so
we charge comparatively low fees.

Question: What is the difference between Exclusion and Trapping?
Answer: Trapping entails immediately catching the animal and taking it away.
Trappers are required by law to kill any animal they remove from your property..
Typically, techniques used to kill animals are cheap, and horrific. They can be
so dreadful that we will not even mention them here. Also, trapping is not very
effective for two reasons:   Trapping a mother leaves the babies to die under
the house. Often, animals go under your house specifically to have babies.
The crawlspace that allowed one animal to enter your home will allow others to
enter in the future. Unless the core issue is resolved, you will likely have the
problem again.


"Exclusion" is based on the fact that animals leave your home on their own to
forage for food and water. Single animals can be "evicted" without delay.
Mothers may need a little more time to leave with the babies in tow. This can
require a little more patience, but is more effective and humane. In addition, we
close up the access points to greatly reduce the chance of future problems.
Exclusion allows the animal to remain in their existing territory, while keeping
them out of your home or other buildings.
