On Point Wildlife Removal is a Florida-licensed wildlife company based at 4250 Dow Road, Suite #308, Melbourne, FL 32934. We handle the humane removal and permanent exclusion of rats, raccoons, bats, squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife for homeowners across Melbourne and Brevard County — including attic inspection, full-home sealing, bat guano cleanup, and insulation replacement.
Most homeowners call us because they hear scratching in the attic or find droppings. We inspect the home, identify every entry point, remove the animals humanely, and seal the structure so they can't get back in. We typically schedule an on-site estimate within a day or two of your call, and 0% financing for up to 24 months is available on qualifying work.
What we handle in Melbourne
We're a wildlife specialist, not a general pest company. Our work centers on getting animals out of a home and keeping them out for good:
- Rat & rodent removal
- Raccoon removal & sealing
- Bat removal & guano cleanup
- Squirrel exclusion
- Wildlife roof sealing
- Attic inspection
- Insulation removal & replacement
- Duct repair
What we don't handle: bees and stinging insects, dead-animal-only pickup with no exclusion work, and domestic animals (dogs, cats). If you call about something outside our scope, we'll tell you straight and point you to the right kind of company.
How our removal process works
Every job follows the same four steps, refined over six years of Brevard County roofs:
Inspection and estimate
We walk the property and the attic, identify the species, and map every active and potential entry point. You get a clear written estimate before any work begins.Humane removal
We trap or, for bats, install one-way exclusion devices that let animals leave but not return, and we monitor throughout.Full-home exclusion
This is the part that actually solves the problem — we seal every gap, vent, roof return, and roofline weakness so wildlife can't re-enter.Cleanup and restoration
We remove contaminated insulation, decontaminate guano and droppings, and replace insulation or repair ducts where needed.
Why Melbourne homes get wildlife — and what that means for the fix
Brevard County's climate and housing stock create a year-round wildlife problem rather than a seasonal one. Florida's heat keeps roof rats active and breeding through the winter, and it turns attics into the kind of warm, sheltered space raccoons and squirrels look for. Older homes near downtown Melbourne and the barrier-island communities — Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, Satellite Beach — tend to have more weathered rooflines and gaps, while newer slab-on-grade construction out toward Suntree and Viera brings its own pattern of gable-vent and roof-return entry points. Storm and hurricane damage along the Space Coast routinely opens new gaps in soffits and fascia, which is why a home that was sealed years ago can develop a fresh intrusion after a rough season.
The practical takeaway: in this market, trapping alone never solves the problem. The heat, the construction, and the storm exposure mean exclusion sealing is the part that lasts.
Bat work and Florida's maternity season
Bats are protected under Florida law, and there are hard rules about when they can be excluded. From April 16 through August 14, Florida prohibits bat exclusions — that's maternity season, when flightless pups would be trapped inside and die if the colony were sealed out. Outside that window, we can legally and humanely exclude a colony and then complete the guano cleanup, which is specialized, time-consuming work that requires the right equipment and protective measures. If you have bats during maternity season, we'll inspect, document the situation, and schedule the exclusion for the first legal date.
Wildlife removal vs. pest control — why the license matters
Wildlife removal in Florida is regulated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) — a completely separate licensing body from the FDACS pest-control licensing that bug companies hold. On Point is an FWC-licensed wildlife operator (License LW262514). That distinction matters because a pest-control company without wildlife specialization isn't trained or licensed for trapping protocols, protected-species rules, or the structural exclusion work that actually keeps animals out. When you're dealing with raccoons, bats, or a recurring rat problem, you want the wildlife specialist, not the company that primarily sprays for insects.
On Point is also a member of the National Wildlife Control Operators Association (NWCOA) — the industry body that sets training and competency standards for wildlife control professionals — listed in its public member directory under our Melbourne office.
What it costs, and financing
Wildlife removal is priced by the job because the work varies so much: a single entry point on a simple roofline is a very different job from a complex multi-roofline home with an established colony and contaminated insulation. The main cost factors are the species, the number and difficulty of entry points, the size of the colony, and how much cleanup and insulation replacement the attic needs. Bat exclusion and guano remediation sit at the higher end because of the equipment, protective measures, and labor involved.
We're transparent about pricing up front in the written estimate, and we offer 0% financing for up to 24 months on qualifying work so a sudden attic problem doesn't have to be a sudden financial one.
Our service area

What Melbourne homeowners say
"From the initial contact, the team was consistently prompt, courteous, and transparent. Jerry arrived as scheduled to provide a thorough estimate… Roel and Zach followed up with a meticulous inspection, ensuring every detail was addressed and our home was securely sealed against future wildlife intrusions."
— E. Razo
"I found a dead full-grown raccoon in the attic of a relatively new house. A neighbor who'd solved his rat problem with On Point showed me where it could get in. They came out the next day, gave me a quote, and the next day sealed up all the vulnerable spots. Worth every penny for the peace of mind."
— Tom Blees
"Cristian and Will did an amazing job. The cleanup of bat guano is quite the process — they worked in extreme attic heat until the job was finished. It requires specialized equipment and it's extremely difficult work."
— Sue Le Bla

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you get to my Melbourne home?
Our office is open Monday–Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and we offer 24-hour emergency service. For non-emergencies we typically schedule an on-site inspection within a day or two of your call. From our Dow Road office we cover all of central Brevard County, so Melbourne-area homes are close by.
Do I need a wildlife company or a pest control company?
For rats, raccoons, bats, squirrels, and similar animals getting into your home, you want an FWC-licensed wildlife company. Pest control is licensed separately (FDACS) for insects and isn't trained for trapping, protected-species rules, or structural exclusion.
Can you remove bats right now?
It depends on the date. Florida prohibits bat exclusions from April 16 through August 14 (maternity season). Outside that window we can exclude the colony and clean up the guano. During maternity season we'll inspect, document, and schedule the work for the first legal date.
How much does wildlife removal cost in Melbourne?
It's priced per job based on the species, the number and difficulty of entry points, the colony size, and how much cleanup and insulation work the attic needs. You get a written estimate before any work begins, and 0% financing for up to 24 months is available on qualifying jobs.
