The problem
Porcupine Removal, done right
Porcupines chew. They go after decks, siding, porch steps, outbuildings, tool handles and even vehicle hoses, often for the salt. They also strip bark off trees and den under sheds and camps.
They're also a real risk to dogs. We remove porcupines humanely and close off the spaces they've been using.
Signs to look for
How to tell it’s porcupines
- Fresh gnaw marks on decks, siding, steps or outbuildings
- Bark stripped from trees, especially high up
- Droppings piled at the base of a tree or under a structure
- A dog coming home with quills

Questions
What people ask us
Something else on your mind? Call and talk to a real person.
(207) 531-5524Why is a porcupine chewing my house?
Often it's after salt, from road salt, sweat on tool handles or certain treated wood and plywood glues.
Can porcupines shoot their quills?
No. That's a myth. The quills come out on contact.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the animal, how much of the house is affected and how hard the entry points are to reach. We inspect first and give you a straight written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Will it come back?
Not if the entry points are sealed. Removal alone is a band-aid: another animal finds the same gap. We close the gaps with heavy-gauge materials so the problem is actually fixed.
Which areas do you cover?
Cumberland, York and Androscoggin counties in southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, Biddeford, Saco, Brunswick, Lewiston and Auburn. Not sure if you’re in range? Call and ask.
