A $75 inspection can save you thousands. Here's how.
A free inspection sounds like a good deal — until you realize the only way that company gets paid is if they sell you work. Our inspection has one job: find out what's actually there. We identify whether activity is current or old, what animal is involved, what damage is real, and what actually needs to be done. You get photo proof and clear options before you spend anything.
- ✓ Is the activity active — or just old evidence that never got cleaned up?
- ✓ Are the droppings actually from the animal you were told they're from?
- ✓ Does cleanup actually need to happen, and how much of it?
- ✓ What work genuinely needs to be done — and what doesn't?
- ✓ You get photo documentation and clear findings you can keep.

Selling or buying a home with a wildlife concern?
A written inspection report with photo documentation can resolve flagged wildlife issues before they stall or kill a deal. We've saved real estate transactions with a $75 report that replaced a $5,000 remediation quote. Realtors, sellers, and buyers — we make it fast, clear, and documented.

About Us
Animal Dispatch, LLC was built on respect — for the animals we remove and the people who share their space.
Founder Devon Davis grew up fascinated by wildlife. He caught his first copperhead snake at age four and spent every spare moment studying creatures big and small. Inspired by his hero, Steve Irwin, he turned that lifelong passion into a professional mission: to bring calm, compassionate expertise when nature gets too close for comfort.
Every job is handled with care, knowledge, and heart — because at Animal Dispatch we don't just catch animals; we understand them.
That same respect extends to our customers. We're not here to sell the biggest job possible. We're here to tell you the truth about what you have — and what you actually need done.

This photo shows a poor and ineffective attempt to remove bats from a home. The wrong screening was installed incorrectly — allowing bats to crawl underneath, get trapped in the attic, and eventually enter the living space.
Nothing about this setup was safe, humane, or effective. This is exactly the kind of rushed, oversold job that a proper inspection helps you avoid.
At Animal Dispatch, our technicians are professionally trained and follow industry-approved exclusion standards to ensure the job is done right — the first time.
We fixed it and provided a BAT FREE GUARANTEE.

We don't have a degree in biology. We know what Virginia wildlife does inside a home. That is a different kind of knowledge.
Devon Davis has been hands-on with wildlife his entire life — not studying animals from a distance, but learning how they move, where they hide, how they get into structures, and what actually gets them out. Animal Dispatch has been in business since 2020, built on more than a decade of hands-on wildlife work dating back to 2011. That experience covers hundreds of homes, commercial properties, and large-scale wildlife conflicts across South-Central Virginia.
Wildlife removal is not about sounding educated. It is about solving the problem the right way — humanely, permanently, and honestly. We are fully licensed, insured, and certified for every type of work we perform. When other companies have failed, been unable to solve the problem, or made it worse, we are the ones who get called in to finish the job.
Don't throw money at it. Throw Devon at it.
We treat every bat removal as though protected species are present. Because in the field, you often cannot tell the difference.
Virginia is home to multiple bat species, some of which carry federal protection. In the field, many species are nearly impossible to distinguish without direct side-by-side comparison — subtle differences in size, coloring, and features that are easy to miss at a distance. Rather than guess, Animal Dispatch treats every bat situation with the full level of care required for protected species. That is not legally required across the board. It is a deliberate choice.
Animal Dispatch follows strict seasonal exclusion timing standards on every bat job. Humane bat exclusion requires five consecutive nights above 55°F — because bats are nocturnal and need viable overnight temperatures to safely find a new roost before exclusion is sealed. We would rather delay a job than cause unnecessary harm to get it done faster. Not every company in this industry will make that call.
We handle it all — from a squirrel in your attic to large scale commercial wildlife conflicts.
Animal Dispatch has been contracted for projects including a federally funded 150-acre wetland restoration in South-Central Virginia where beavers had been flooding the property for nearly a decade. Previous attempts by other operators failed — and one made it significantly worse. Without understanding proper water flow through a dam system, they broke a dam incorrectly, released retained water into a lower section, and flooded the access road — cutting off an entire section of the property. They also educated the beaver population in the process, making them trap shy and far harder to catch. We solved it in two seasons.
Beavers become trap shy quickly — one failed attempt by an inexperienced operator is often enough to make an entire population significantly harder to catch. Inexperienced handling doesn't just fail to solve the problem. It makes the problem harder for whoever comes next. This is why the lowest bid is rarely the safest choice.
