Calls Answered Around the Clock
Wildlife emergencies often happen at night, when nocturnal animals are most active. Our team answers calls 24/7, so you are never left waiting until morning with a bat in the bedroom or a raccoon loose in the house.
Clear Guidance on Bat Exposure
A bat found in a room with a sleeping person, child, or pet may need rabies testing. We safely contain the bat instead of releasing it and explain when to contact your doctor or local health department for advice.
Safety Steps While You Wait
Our team walks you through simple precautions until we arrive, such as closing interior doors to confine the animal, keeping children and pets away, and opening an exterior door when an animal may leave on its own.
Trapped Animals Removed With Care
Squirrels, raccoons, and birds stuck in chimneys, walls, or ductwork are located by sound and inspection, then removed through the smallest practical opening. That careful approach limits damage to walls, finishes, and the rooms around them.
Barriers Built Around Animal Behavior
Skunks, groundhogs, and opossums dig under decks and sheds, so galvanized mesh is buried and bent outward in an L shape. Digging animals hit the barrier and move on instead of tunneling back underneath your structures.
Materials Made for Michigan Winters
Freeze-thaw cycles, snow, and moisture break down weak materials quickly. Galvanized steel mesh, sturdy chimney caps, and rust-resistant fasteners keep every barrier working reliably season after season, long after the original emergency has been resolved.

How it works
How Emergency Removal and Exclusion Work
When you call for emergency wildlife removal and exclusion services, we ask what animal you see, where it is, and whether anyone may have been bitten, scratched, or exposed while sleeping. Our team shares safety guidance while we are on the way, such as closing doors to confine the animal and keeping children and pets in a separate room. On arrival, we safely capture or remove the animal, check for additional animals or young, and explain next steps for any possible exposure.
Once the emergency is handled, Legendary Wildlife Solutions inspects your property to find how the animal got in. We confirm no animals remain inside, then install buried barriers, chimney caps, window well covers, door sweeps, and chew-resistant sealing so the situation does not repeat. For attics and walls with damage left behind, our wildlife damage repair services restore insulation and repair entry points. Call us 24/7 for help anywhere in Benton Harbor, MI and nearby communities.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Wildlife emergencies and prevention raise urgent questions. Here are clear answers for homes and businesses in Benton Harbor, MI.
What should I do if a bat is flying inside my house?
Close interior doors to confine the bat, keep children and pets away, and avoid touching it. If anyone was sleeping in the room, do not release it, since testing may be recommended, and call us right away.
Do I need a rabies shot after finding a bat in my bedroom?
It depends on possible exposure. Bat bites can be tiny and go unnoticed, so the CDC advises contacting a doctor or health department if a bat was in a room with someone sleeping, a child, or an impaired person.
If a raccoon gets inside my house, what should I do?
Stay calm, keep people and pets away, and close interior doors to confine the raccoon to one room. Open an exterior door in that room if it is safe, then call for removal if it does not leave.
How do I keep skunks from living under my deck?
Install a galvanized mesh barrier around the deck perimeter, buried several inches deep and bent outward in an L shape. Digging animals hit the buried mesh and give up instead of tunneling underneath to build a den.
Can a chimney cap prevent future wildlife emergencies?
Yes. Uncapped chimneys are a common entry point for raccoons, squirrels, and birds that later end up trapped or inside the home. A properly sized cap blocks wildlife while still allowing smoke and gases to vent safely.
