Wildlife Control for Home & Business Owners
Most of the time, wild animals stick to their natural habitats away from people. However, from time to time, wildlife decides to take up residence on or near our property. Though they vary in terms of immediate threat, wildlife like raccoons, skunks, and snakes all bring a variety of problems with them when they decide to invade.
Wildlife infestations can cause a number of issues for residential and commercial properties. From bites and scratches to major property damage and disease, there is no shortage of harm these pests can cause. Trying to deal with them on your own can make things even worse as it exposes you to potential dangers and hazards. On top of that, without the proper training and equipment, there is no guarantee that DIY efforts will work to keep wildlife pests out for the long term.
Dangers of Wildlife Infestation
While many of these animals may seem cute and cuddly, the damages and dangers they pose are anything but. Here are the three biggest dangers posed by wildlife infestations:
Property Damage – Just to get inside, wildlife can tear into your walls, roofing, and siding to create an entryway. Depending on the area, this can lead to untold damage not only from the direct destruction itself but also from the secondary problems that destruction can create, such as water damage.
Disease & Pathogens – Opossums, raccoons, and rodents are all notorious for the many diseases they can bring into human dwellings. Should you come into direct contact with one of these animals, you also risk your family or pets getting directly attacked, which can lead to problems like rabies in dogs and cats.
Unsanitary Conditions – Making all this worse is the harmful elements they leave behind. Even if you can successfully remove the wildlife problem on your own, the biological elements they leave behind such as droppings, urine, and dead bodies can all not only ruin your home but also create serious health hazards for everyone inside.
Our Wildlife Control Process
Our six-step wildlife control program not only gets rid of wildlife from your house but also returns your home to the condition it was in before the infestation:
Inspection & Analysis – In order to provide you with the best treatment for your particular problem, we begin by inspecting your property to determine what wildlife is present and how they are getting inside. We then customize a plan to target the pests that are causing you problems.
Trapping & Removal – We provide live trapping and removal services. We place the traps in locations that are safe for your family, checking them regularly until we have removed all wildlife.
Sanitize & Deodorize – When wild animals get into your home, they spread dangerous pathogens around. We use biodegradable solutions to spray the affected areas, whether in your attic or other areas of your home, to eliminate these pathogens.
Damage Repair – Depending on the extent, we develop a comprehensive plan for repairing any damage done to your property as a result of the infestation.
Proofing & Exclusion – The most important step in ensuring that wildlife cannot return is sealing up entry points and animal-proofing your home. We provide several services, including installing chimney caps, roof vent covers, new crawlspace doors, crawlspace vent covers, and the Critter Proof Gutter Protection System.
Insulation Damage Replacement – If your insulation was damaged during your wildlife infestation, we will replace it with treated cellulose insulation. This treated insulation protects your home against pests.
