In urban areas, wildlife such as birds, raccoons, bats, skunks, and various species of rodents may have difficulty finding an appropriate refuge to call home. Many times these creatures will seek refuge by nesting and digging in human homes. Attics, hollow space under porches, basements, insulation between walls, and virtually any other accessible warm pocket can attract animals into your home. If you start to hear cracking or scratching on the walls, or discover nesting evidence around your property, it's time to contact a wildlife removal agency.
Once a wildlife infestation has been detected, it is tempting to treat the problem as soon as possible. Most owners will assume that they can kill wildlife without problems. The truth is, for the untrained, killing wildlife can be a dangerous endeavor. Animals often nest in strange pockets that can be extremely difficult for humans to access. Not only that, attempting extraction without the proper equipment can unnecessarily expose humans to any disease animals may carry.
In addition to keeping humans safe, contacting a professional and humane wildlife removal service can save the animal's life. When eliminating a wildlife infestation in and around homes, it is important to remember that even urban areas are a shared space of life between animals and humans. While animals may unknowingly venture into human territory during particularly stressful seasons such as the spring and winter months, when shelter and food are scarce, there is no need to kill or injure animals to remove them from their property. Contrary to what some moving companies may advertise, removal of wildlife that preserves the life of the animal is safe and legal. When choosing a wildlife removal service, make sure technicians are knowledgeable of humanitarian removal techniques and licensed to do so.
Fortifying your home against future wildlife infestations
When an animal runs the risk of inhabiting a space so close to humans, there is always a reason. Easy access to food or shelter are the main attractions. Ask yourself: Is food waste properly insured? Are there cracks or openings in the foundation of your home? Is your roof properly sealed?
To avoid future infestations, you will need to find the root of the problem. A Wildlife Removal service can help you with this. Learn how to safely store your trash in a way that is inaccessible to wildlife and how to repair any suspicious openings. Hiring a humanitarian removal service will ensure that the techniques used to strengthen your home do not harm any wildlife that interacts with your property in the future. There is absolutely no need to use toxic chemicals or other lethal methods of protection when it comes to animal intruders. These methods will not only unnecessarily harm your local wildlife, but will also threaten your health and that of your family.
