Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions Inc

Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions is a professional wildlife control and pest management company serving Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Our mission is simple but uncompromising: to protect people, property, and public health without unnecessary harm to wildlife, while applying science-based methods that actually solve problems at their source.

Wildlife and pest issues are not random events. They are predictable outcomes of habitat overlap, seasonal biology, building construction, and human behavior mixed with habitat modification. Our role is not merely to “remove animals,” but to interpret what the environment is telling us, correct structural vulnerabilities, and guide both wildlife and homeowners toward long-term coexistence.
This philosophy defines how Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions operates, how we train our technicians, and how we interact with the public.

What we do is strictly comprehensive wildlife and pest solutions period! not the latest crawlspace fad or borate infused insulation that sells some 5-figure job that has minimal effect on your structure. We provide a full spectrum of services designed to address both immediate concerns and long-term prevention. These services are delivered with transparency, professionalism, and strict adherence to state and federal regulations.

Wildlife Control and Exclusion-
We specialize in the humane resolution of conflicts involving:
Raccoons
Squirrels (gray and flying squirrels)
Bats
Birds (including vent and structure nesting species)
Skunks
Groundhogs
Foxes and other small mammals

Our approach prioritizes exclusion over elimination whenever possible. That means identifying how animals access a structure, removing them using appropriate, humane methods, and then physically preventing re-entry through durable repairs that last for years to come because your family's safety matters and is priority one to us and that is precisely our reputation.

Unlike companies that rely solely on trapping, Wilkins Wildlife emphasizes structural wildlife management. Trapping without exclusion often leads to repeat infestations, unnecessary animal mortality, and frustrated homeowners.
We refuse to operate that way.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
For insects and rodents, Wilkins Wildlife employs Integrated Pest Management, a strategy that combines inspection, identification, environmental modification, and targeted control.
IPM avoids blanket chemical applications and instead asks:
Why is this pest present?
What conditions are sustaining it?
How can we correct the environment to prevent recurrence?
This approach is safer for families, pets, pollinators, and the surrounding ecosystem — and it produces better long-term results.
A Humane Philosophy Rooted in Biology
One of the most misunderstood aspects of wildlife control is what “humane” actually means.

At Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions, humane practices are not marketing language — they are operational standards guided by wildlife biology, animal welfare science, and professional ethics.
Humane Does Not Mean Passive
Humane wildlife control does not mean allowing animals to damage structures, spread disease, or threaten safety.
It means using methods that:
Minimize stress and suffering
Respect breeding and maternity seasons
Avoid unnecessary lethal outcomes
Solve the problem permanently
For example, during bat maternity season, exclusions are carefully timed to avoid trapping flightless pups inside structures. With other animals, young are removed by hand and reunited or relocated appropriately when legal and biologically sound. If orphaned due to disease or vehicle collision young are delivered to a state licensed rehabilitator for increased chances of survival.

These decisions require training, patience, and expertise — not shortcuts.
Why Biology Matters
Animals behave predictably based on:
Season
Weather
Food availability
Reproductive cycles
Learned behaviors
Understanding these patterns allows Wilkins Wildlife technicians to anticipate behavior instead of reacting to it.
This reduces risk, improves outcomes, and prevents repeat conflicts.

Education as a Core Service:
We believe an informed homeowner is a protected homeowner.
A major part of our work involves educating the public on:
Why wildlife enters structures
What signs indicate an active issue versus a transient one
When intervention is truly necessary
How simple maintenance can prevent costly problems
And how our remote monitoring program further initiates a higher level of trust

Fear-based messaging creates confusion and bad decisions. Wilkins Wildlife does the opposite — we explain clearly, honestly, and calmly.

This is especially important on the Eastern Shore, where wildlife activity is closely tied to seasonal coastal and agricultural ecosystems.
What looks alarming to one homeowner may be completely normal behavior to a trained professional.
Structural Solutions, Not Temporary Fixes
One of the biggest failures in the wildlife control industry is treating symptoms instead of causes.
Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions focuses on:
Entry-point identification
Elite Construction-grade exclusion materials
Code-compliant repairs
Long-term durability - (most items are limited-lifetime warranty)

We do not rely on foam, screen scraps, or cosmetic patches. Our exclusions are designed to withstand weather, animal pressure, and time, lots of time.
This philosophy protects both the homeowner’s investment and the animals themselves by preventing repeated displacement or lethal control cycles.

Public Health and Safety
Wildlife and pests are not just nuisance issues — they can pose legitimate health risks when unmanaged.
Wilkins Wildlife addresses concerns such as:
Zoonotic diseases
Parasites and ectoparasites
Contamination from droppings and nesting material
Structural damage that creates secondary pest entry
When sanitization or remediation is required, it is handled with proper protective equipment, containment procedures, and disposal protocols.
We do not exaggerate risks — but we do not minimize them either.
Public safety is treated seriously and responsibly.

Ethical Standards and Regulatory Compliance
Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions operates in strict compliance with:
State wildlife regulations
Federal protections (including bat and migratory bird laws)
Local building and safety codes
Our technicians are trained to understand what is legal, what is ethical, and what is effective — and to explain those distinctions clearly to customers.
If a requested action is illegal, unsafe, or biologically inappropriate, we will not perform it.
Professional integrity matters more than a single job.

Local Expertise Matters
Wilkins Wildlife is deeply familiar with local dynamics. That knowledge allows us to tailor solutions that make sense here, not generic approaches borrowed from other regions.
This local expertise is one of the reasons our work emphasizes prevention, timing, and long-term planning.

Transparency, Not Sales Pressure
From inspection through resolution, Wilkins Wildlife prioritizes transparency:
Clear explanations
Honest assessments
Documented findings
Straightforward recommendations

We do not upsell unnecessary services or inflate urgency.
If an issue can be monitored safely, we say so.
If immediate action is required, we explain why.

Trust is built by telling the truth — even when it means less work in the short term.
Why Humane Wildlife Control Is Better for Everyone
Humane, science-based wildlife management benefits:
Homeowners, by protecting property and health
Communities, by reducing conflict and misinformation
Wildlife, by preventing unnecessary death and displacement
The environment, by limiting chemical and lethal overuse

Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions exists to bring professionalism and balance to an industry that too often relies on fear or shortcuts.

Wilkins Wildlife & Pest Solutions is not just a wildlife removal company. We are problem solvers, educators, and stewards of both built environments and natural systems.
By combining:
Biological expertise
Humane standards
Structural solutions
Public education
Local knowledge
