New Orleans Wildlife Control
Expert wildlife removal for the Greater New Orleans area
Wildlife Challenges in the Big Easy
New Orleans' unique geography—surrounded by water and swamps—combined with its historic architecture, creates distinct wildlife challenges. From roof rats in the French Quarter to raccoons in Uptown attics and nutria in Lakeview canals, our city is teeming with wildlife.
The city's raised homes provide ample crawlspace for opossums and armadillos, while our mild winters allow pests to remain active year-round. Formosan termites and rodents pose a constant threat to our historic structures.
Our team specializes in protecting New Orleans properties. We understand the intricacies of local construction and offer solutions that respect the integrity of your home while effectively excluding wildlife.

New Orleans Wildlife Removal FAQs
The classic raised piers, shotgun houses, and historic homes of Uptown, the Garden District, and Mid-City create ideal sheltered voids beneath floors and within old wall cavities. Opossums, raccoons, rats, and feral rodents readily den under raised houses. We provide non-destructive exclusion that respects historic architecture while sealing these under-house and roofline access points.
After heavy rain, tropical storms, and hurricane flooding, displaced rodents, snakes, and nutria move to higher ground and into homes and businesses across the metro. Storm damage to roofs and soffits also opens fresh entry points. We see major spikes in calls during and after hurricane season (June through November) and prioritize storm-related exclusion repairs.
Extremely. New Orleans's warm, humid subtropical climate, mature live oaks, and dense historic neighborhoods make roof rats a year-round problem, especially in the French Quarter, Marigny, and Bywater. They travel along power lines and oak limbs to enter attics through the smallest roofline gaps. We remove them and seal the entry points rather than relying on bait alone.
Yes. The bayous, canals, and City Park waterways throughout the region support a healthy snake population that occasionally ends up in yards, garages, and crawlspaces. We safely remove snakes and reduce the harborage and rodent food sources that attract them to your property.
We serve Orleans Parish and the greater metro, including Uptown, Mid-City, Lakeview, Algiers, and the Westbank, along with neighboring Jefferson Parish communities like Metairie and Kenner. For the North Shore, see our Northshore Louisiana service page.
