Wildlife doesn’t always stay in the wild. Sometimes animals such as rats, raccoons, squirrels, and more get into areas of a home. These critters are often found in crawl spaces, under homes, in attics, and other places in and around the home.
Homeowners often find these animals particularly difficult to remove on their own. It’s also often very dangerous for them to even try. A St. Charles wildlife control service has the experience necessary to remove the animals, and can perform basic repairs, such as attic reconditioning, too.
Raccoon Removal
Raccoons are also very common in St. Charles. In the winter, they like to move into attics and other areas of homes looking for warmth and a food source. Raccoons are extremely clever and have adapted to urban areas quite well. When they move into an attic, they’ll use one area as a place to eliminate. They will then use another area as their living quarters, perhaps even making a nest out of the insulation. This can quickly destroy an entire attic.
Raccoons have no fear of humans, and carry diseases such as rabies. The conflict between humans and raccoons is a never-ending one, and homeowners need help when they’re dealing with this aggressive creature.
Bat Removal
Bats are useful for many things. For example, they eat their weight in mosquitoes every day. Inside the home though, bats have no purpose. They bring disease, and leave bat guano all over attics and other areas of the home. It is most effective, and most cost-efficient, if bat problems are combatted right away. The longer bats are in the home, the more guano will build up, and the costlier it is to fix the problem.
Skunk Removal
Due to their very nature, skunks are notoriously difficult to remove from the home. While skunks can get into areas such as attics, they are most likely to find their way into crawl spaces and under porches and decks. The odor they spray can last a long time around the outside of a home, and skunks pose a significant problem for homeowners with curious pets.
Once a skunk has made a part of your home theirs as well, they will have babies fairly quickly. Homeowners are often surprised to find a skunk giving birth directly underneath the front steps. It’s for this reason that as soon as homeowners identify an unwelcome skunk, they take the necessary steps to get rid of it.
Rat and Mice Removal
By the time homeowners notice rats or mice in their attic, crawlspace, basement, or any other part of their home, they already have a major problem. Rice and mats populate very quickly. In fact, one female mouse can have up to 140 offspring a year.
Once a home becomes infested, these rodents are extremely difficult for homeowners to get rid of. They multiply faster than homeowners can trap them, and destroy everything in their path in the meantime. Rats and mice will chew through wires, leave droppings everywhere, and ruin food and other contents of the home. A trusted wildlife control expert can remove these rodents and help prevent them from coming back.
Possum Removal
Possums may not enter homes as often as other wildlife such as raccoons and rats, but they will cause extensive damage trying to gain access. When they cannot get into a home, they’ll take up residence in sheds, hot tubs, and any other outdoor structure.
Possums are very large animals, and can also become quite aggressive. Once they find a place to live on a property, they will destroy the garden, the sod, and anything else they can find to eat, drink, or use for shelter. Possums also have canine fangs, which they use to defend themselves. These fangs are very dangerous to humans. Not only can they cause serious injury, but they can also transmit diseases. Homeowners should speak to a St. Charles wildlife control company when they spot a possum on the property.
