Smith Mountain Lake & Moneta, VA Pest Control

Pest Control and Wildlife Removal for Smith Mountain Lake Homes

Moorman’s Wildlife Management & Pest Control serves homeowners, lake-house owners and businesses in Hardy, Moneta, Huddleston, Wirtz and the rest of the Smith Mountain Lake area. Lake properties sit on wooded lots with long shorelines, docks, decks and boathouses, and many homes are empty for weeks at a time. That mix gives wildlife, rodents and insects plenty of places to settle in. We are a biologist-led local company, so we identify the real cause of the problem and fix it rather than spraying and hoping.

Nuisance Wildlife Removal

Squirrels, raccoons, bats, groundhogs, skunks and snakes are part of life at the lake, but they do not belong in your attic, crawl space or under the deck. We remove animals humanely and in line with Virginia wildlife rules, then seal the openings so they cannot return.

• Squirrel removal at Smith Mountain Lake and squirrel and raccoon exclusion
• Humane bat exclusion for attics, gable vents and boathouses
• Groundhog and skunk removal under porches, sheds and foundations
• Snake removal around docks, rock walls and crawl spaces
• Entry-point sealing and chimney and roofline protection

Termite Control

Subterranean termites are active across central Virginia, and moist, wooded lake lots give them ideal conditions. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and swarmers, then recommend the right treatment. Learn more about our termite inspections and termite treatment.

Ant and Insect Control

Ants, spiders, stink bugs, cockroaches and other insects often move indoors with the seasons. Our residential pest control targets the pest you have and the conditions that brought it in, with treatments that are responsible around the lake, pets and family.

Rodent Exclusion and Control

Mice and rats move into lake homes, garages and boathouses when the weather turns cold, especially when a house sits empty. We trap the active rodents, find how they are getting in and seal those gaps. See our rodent and mouse control service.

Mosquito and Tick Control

Shoreline, coves and shaded yards mean more mosquitoes and ticks. Our flea, mosquito and tick treatments help you get back to enjoying the dock and the deck. We also handle wasps, hornets and yellow jackets and honey bee relocation.

Crawl Space and Home Protection

Humidity near the water can lead to damp crawl spaces, sagging insulation and pest problems. We offer crawl space encapsulation, vapor barriers, dehumidifiers and insulation services. See all home services.
