Our philosophy is what makes us different.
We are a growing locally based business with an honest and holistic approach to managing your wildlife removal and prevention needs. We offer our clients humane, no-harm solutions to getting rid of animals who have taken up uninvited residency in their homes and businesses.
Our solutions are effective, preserving the environment and honoring the lives and needs of all involved. We will figure out how the animals are getting in, making sure they are out, and ensuring they will not get back in. We never use poisons or kill traps.
Poisoned mice and rats pose serious harmful ecological and environmental consequences. Poisons move up the food chain harming animals that eat the affected rodents, such as owls, hawks, snakes, and domestic dogs and cats. Rodenticides take 12 hours to 4 days to kill rodents.
All of our solutions involve a variety of repairs and exclusion materials, permanently ensuring animals cannot re-enter your home. As a result, clients no longer need traditional pest control methods, such as poisons or kill traps or post-trapping euthanasia.
Live traps are used, as needed, to ensure animals are out of your home. Our technicians are certified Wildlife Damage Control Agents licensed through the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. North Carolina state law prohibits unlawful trapping of wildlife and only a certified WDCA's can issue a depredation permit to allow the trapping and transport of wildlife that is causing property damage.
We specialize in mice, rats, squirrels, flying squirrels, bats, birds, snakes, opossums and raccoons. We also do remediation - cleaning-up of animal waste and droppings.
Often animals have done extensive damage and there are more involved repairs needed to permanently resolve the problem. As skilled handymen and carpenters we can manage your animal-related damage and improvements.

Background
Humane Homes was started because of founder Eric Goldman’s love of wildlife, which started when he was a child. Through his teens and twenties and while in college, he worked in maintenance and construction.
Eric studied wildlife biology at Florida State University where he did conservation research specific to mammals, birds and snakes. Most of his professional career was in scientific research and biotechnology.
Since moving to Carrboro/Chapel Hill, NC a few years ago, Eric has finished 550 hours of yoga teacher training and started Humane Homes, two life-long dreams.
It was through studying yoga that he learned of an observance called "ahimsa".
This means non-harming and it fuels the ethic of his work. If we can live in harmony with other creatures without causing harm, then why not do so?
At Humane Homes NC we are serious about protecting the livelihood of all beings.
Live and let live is our motto.
Humane Homes is the combination of many of Eric's life passions and skills. His desire is to bring humane solutions to keep unwanted animals out of your home and its structure. Our work will bring you comfort and peace of mind while honoring the life of the animals.
