Most pest control companies lack the experience in finding the cause of your nuisance bat, bird or animal control problem. They don’t see the tell tale signs that we look for when we first pull up and see your home for the first time. Some of the big clues they often miss are as simple as missing soffit and fascia, branches, or a fence or trellis that allow access to nuisance critters which tells us you have a ready built highway into your home. We inspect all vents, around all dormers, ingress and egress of all pipes, cables and electrical wiring leading into your home. Sometimes a new wildlife problem can be caused by a poor installation by a technician in another trade. If a raccoon can get their hands under a poorly installed vent or eaves; they can grab it and either bend it or remove it and can create a future nest or colony location for bats, birds, raccoons, pigeons, rats, mice opossums etc.

These Four Wildlife Control steps lead to a successful nuisance wildlife removal program

1. Correctly identify the species causing the problem. We look for common signs like bird droppings, bat guano, animal feces, or animal urine, look for their animal or bat tracks, food caches, nest or burrows. We look at everyhting the animal shares with us to help properly identify the problem animal.

2. We alter the habitat, whenever possible try to make the area less attractive to any bat, bird or wildlife pests.

3. Use a bat, bird, animal control methods that are appropriate to your location, time of year, and other environmental conditions.

4. We monitor the animal damage site for any re-infestation to determine if additional control is necessary.

The most commonly used methods for controlling nuisance wildlife around homes and gardens include exclusion, habitat modification, repellents, toxic baits, glue boards, traps and frightening. Wildlife control involves human risks both through injury to person and property but also through disease.

Ethical Considerations In Nuisance Wildlife Management

There are many ethical considerations in nuisance wildlife management. Many regulations exist in the United States concerning animal trapping including trap check intervals, usually requiring all traps be checked at least once during a 24 hour period. Some governments permit relocation of wildlife, however humane considerations must be taken into account before relocating wildlife, including population and habitat. Some species of wildlife cannot be ethically relocated due to overabundance of competing species or lack of availability of proper food and habitat. Control during the spring months does run the risk of killing the young by starvation or in the summer months having a bat exclusion done on a home, fireplace, attic, or chimney during a bat maternity season and killing all the young unable to fly and exit a home like their mothers can year round. Proper euthanasia of animals when necessary is also a controversial and sensitive consideration to be taken prior to engaging in nuisance wildlife management and requires training and certification in some areas of the United States.
