Fall Snake Control and Removal

Snake control and removal should be initiated as soon as the animal has been discovered living in the area. The United Stated is home to some very dangerous snakes such as copperheads and rattle snakes. Snake control and removal should only be attempted by people who understand the danger this animal can present. Wildlife professionals understand this danger and have the training to safely handle these very dangerous animals.


Snakes commonly use a porch or patio to rear their young. Removal of baby snakes from a porch or patio is a very unique process that should be professionally resolved to prevent the snake from entering the home and endangering the occupants. You may or may not smell the snake living under your home. If the snake has sprayed recently, the odor will follow. We offer deodorization services for snake odor removal. The Garder snake can release a very bad odor when it is frightened. This odor is a defense mechanism.


Snakes commonly nest in attics or in walls. A All Animal Control is your local professional that can get rid of the snake on your property. The Wildlife professional will quickly remove baby snakes from the porch, patio or crawlspace. May is a prime time for the young to be born. Young bull snakes look very much like a rattlesnake. A bullsnake can mimic the sound of a rattlesnake with its mouth and be quite convincing! Call the professionals at A All Animal Control for immediate assistance!


Snakes living in attics or crawlspaces will defecate and contaminate the insulation and soil. These droppings should be removed to control diseases. Snake sheds are commonly found in attics and crawlspaces. To control pest snakes, we often must
begin snake trapping. Trapping snakes is necessary in most cases. We know how to get rid of a snake and have years of experience of removing snakes. Snake pest control is one of our specialties at A All Animal Control.


Trapping is humanely important to prevent injury to the snake. Getting rid of a snake is a process that should be carried out with proper planning and procedures. Snake removal can be done in an efficient manner with the proper tools and training. Humane snake control can be achieved and snake relocation can be provided in most cases.


Snake extermination is often not necessary. To kill a snake would negatively affect the snake populations of this very beneficial reptile. Snake Away is a product that serves as a snake repellant. This product will repel a snake and prevent it from entering the treated area.


A dead snake in a porch, patio, attic or crawlspace is a service that A All Animal Control provides, including the deodorization of the area. Snakes do occasionally die in unusual places and they must be removed as soon as possible.Leaving the snake will only make the problem worse and cause further damage to your home and attract other animals and insects. Animal control for snakes is a necessary service to protect your home and family. Removing a snake is the firststep in making a home healthy again. Get rid of snakes the right way before the problem gets out of control.


A All Animal Control fits your needs and budget and we are committed to total solutions to wildlife and human conflicts. A custom tailored plan will be provided for each situation allowing the best margin of safety and provide a total solution to meet the nusiance wildlife problem.


Let the Wildlife Professionals at A All Animal Control help with all of your snake control needs today!

Bats Causing Problems all over the country, A All Animal Control can help

Bat control and removal needs are on the rise at this time of year.

Bats are migrating into the area and taking over homes and businesses all over the country. Bats tend to migrate and rear their young in attics, crawlspaces, chimneys, soffits and walls of homes, businesses and commercial buildings.

How do you know if you have bats in your home or business? One of the common ways to tell is by noticing any mouse-like droppings on the siding or ground near an entry point for the bats. Another way to tell is to do a bat watch at night and see if anything flies out of your home or business. Other signs include screeching, noises in the walls, attic or crawlspaces.

A All Animal Control has been providing bat colony removal since 1995 and has resolved thousands of bat problems safely and effectively. We also offer attic restoration which includes removal of bat guano, deodorizing, disinfecting and replacing infected insulation.

Bats are known rabies carriers. If a bat enters the home, it is possible that a pet or human could be bitten. If you cannot prove that the bat did not bite anyone in the home then please notify your local health department and follow up with rabies shots.
A All Animal Control guarantees that the bat infestation will be fully resolved.

To protect your family or employees from potential disease due to dangerous bats, call the wildlife control professionals at A All Animal Control.

Python Control in Florida

Pythons and other snakes can certainly be a nuisance. In 1992 large numbers of pythons escaped from pet stores ravaged by Hurricane Andrew. Experts also believe that pet owners have released them into the wild once they grew too large. Since then their numbers have substantially increased to where there are thousands of pythons in the wilds of South Florida.

Since the death of a toddler strangled by a pet python, the Governor has decided that experienced herpetologists will be called upon to capture and properly euthanize these animals. So far fifteen permits have been issued and those who have actively used these permits will receive an extension. All that is required thus far is to be a resident of Florida, have a digital camera and a GPS system to mark the site where the python was found.

We here at A All Animal Control strongly believe that this is the perfect opportunity to start up a Nuisance Wildlife Control Center. What better way to be out there doing something you love while helping out the population?

Bat Control in the United States

Bat control in the United States is a very important service. Bats are beneficial creatures but when they reside in your home, the benefit to you is short lived.

Bats love to reside in attics and chimney's and will roost year round if temperatures allow it. The bad news is that bats will carry rabies, bat bugs and mites. They also can have histoplasmosis in their droppings. That is not exactly what you want to have in your attic!

How do you know if you have bats in your attic?

You may hear screeching, high pitched squeaks or squeals and maybe high pitched chatter. If you suspect you have bats, go out in the evening and do a "bat watch". Watch for the bats to exit the home or business and if they are there, call a bat control professional to resolve this issue for you. Do it yourself bat control is not a good idea and can lead to many other problems for you. The professionals at A All Animal Control will resolve your bat issue and return your home or business to like new condition!

Wildlife Out of Control This Spring!

Spring has to be the best time of year. With such a long and harsh winter in 2008, we are all glad to see the temperatures warm up and the green begin to emerge from a brown world.

Spring will also bring lots of wildlife invaders coming into homes and businesses. Squirrels will be nesting in attics, bats will migrate back in and roost in attics and chimneys too. New life emerges and nature reclaims her place once again.

We love spring and are busily going about our routes helping people solve wildlife conflicts. We are truly blessed to live in this country and enjoy the work we do. Working with wildlife is our passion and helping others with wildlife problems is what we live for each day.

7 Tips To Keep Your Home Wildlife Problem Free!

With the change of the seasons, wildlife will start their annual migration into your home. It is getting cold outside and animals need a place to hibernate or simply hole up when the temps fall below normal.

Most infestations can be easily solved. If the animals are left in the home or business for extended periods, it will be harder for you to remove them.

What can you do to ensure they won't invade your space?

1. Start from the ground and look for entry places such as where plumbing and electrical wires enter the home.
2. Look at your siding to ensure there are no missing pieces or holes in existing siding.
3. Observe connecting rooflines for security and any missing shingles, soffit or fascia.
4. Check the chimney for a cap and if there is one, make sure it is not damaged or ill fitting.
5. Check attic vents for security and proper screening in place.
6. Look for signs of digging under porches and patios indicating an animal is living there.
7. Check vents on the side of the home for proper operation and screening.

If you have a wildlife problem and need professional assistance, call the professionals at A All Animal Control

Squirrels and Raccoons in Your Attic This Fall?

This fall and winter will usher in many creatures into your home and attic.
Squirrels, raccoons, possums and even cats will move into attics and crawlspaces.
What can you do about this oncoming invasion?
The first thing you can do is an inspection of your home. Grab a pair of binoculars and look for missing vent screens, vent covers and gaps in rooflines. Inspect siding for holes and missing pieces.
Check the chimney for a chimney cap and any other vent stacks for proper screening. Now step back and look at the overall condition of the home or building. Are there any areas that need maintenance or repair?
If you suspect that animals are in your home or building, have a Wildlife Expert inspect and remove any wildlife before your repair work can be initiated. A All Animal Control are your local Nuisance Wildlife Control Experts and can solve any wildlife problem for you.

White Nose Syndrome

“White Nose Syndrome” – What You Should Know
News Alert
04/15/2008

In 2007, a mysterious fungus was discovered growing on the muzzles of several bats hibernating in caves near Albany, NY, and the term “White Nose Syndrome” was initiated to describe this phenomenon.

Between 8,000 and 11,000 bats in one particular cave had died from this new phenomenon including the federally endangered Indiana bat.
So far, this condition has been found in bats in New York, Southwest Vermont, Northwest Connecticut and Western Massachusetts as of 04/15/2008.
What bats have been affected?

Little Brown, Indiana, Northern Long-Eared, Small-footed and Eastern Pipistrelles have been commonly affected.

Symptoms
The bats that have been found with this condition have very little fat reserves. With reduced fat reserves, their ability to survive winter hibernation dramatically is diminished. The bats have been noted hibernating closer to the cave entrance than normal. There have also been reports of bats flying in daylight, often in temperatures below freezing.

The current belief is the bats have elevated body temperatures that are causing them to move to the cooler part of the cave. With elevated temperatures, the body requires more energy and consumes the fat reserves, thus the bats are trying to find food in temperatures that do not support insect life. This flying further reduces the fat reserve and further exacerbates the problem.

Many of the bats collected showed signs of pneumonia and hemorrhaging in the lungs. The live bats found had body weights comparable to the weights bats should have when leaving the cave in the spring and will likely die before the end of winter.

Threat to Humans?
At this time we do not know if there is a health risk to humans, but the potential risks to humans are being assessed. Potential impacts on other wildlife species are not known.

Decontamination procedures and more information about this situation can be found at http://www.fws.gov/northeast/white_nose.html

What to do if you find White Nose Syndrome
· Contact your local Department of Natural Resources bat biologist and inform them where you found the bats. Take pictures if possible. You may also email the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at WhiteNoseBats@fws.gov
· Do not touch any of the bats (living or dead), especially those with a white muzzle or nose.
· Exit the area immediately, avoiding contact with other bats.

Bats Are Always Cool!

People always think of bats as being a scary animal. Bats are probably by far one of the coolest animals we work with. It is not the bat itself that is often the coolest part of the job, but what you see when working with them. We were working on a very large church in Charleston, WV that had a fairly large bat problem.

This church was your normal building with a flat roof. We decided to do a little "stake out" to see where the bats were coming out. At dusk we situated ourselves on the roof and waited. We didn't have to wait long and the bats started zooming out of one particular part of the roofline.

After about 70 bats we stopped counting and just watched as they all dropped out of the roof. Bats cannot take off like a bird so they must drop and then spread their wings. The cool part of this job was inspecting the ceiling (there was no attic) and the areas behind the stage. There were huge speakers on both sides of the stage for the organ and years of stuff stored everywhere.

Being a Wildlife Pro affords you the opportunity to go where no one else is allowed to go. You pretty much have free reign of the project and the run of the place. We found another area above this stained glass window that the bats were entering. A tiny crack about the size of a mortar joint. That is all they needed! (Notice the guano on the window sill.) You will see all sorts of stuff in attics, crawlspaces, barns and outbuildings. You just never know what you will find. I just hope you don't find a mannequin dressed up like Cher like I did...it was sort of...hmm...creepy!

Don't Let Out of State Nuisance Wildlife Control Contractors Rip You Off!

Don’t Let Out of State Nuisance Wildlife Control Contractors Rip You Off!

There is a new trend developing in the nuisance wildlife management field that could surprise you. That trend is not good for consumers or the community in which they live.

Using the power of the internet, these contractors advertise doing wildlife control work anywhere in the United States. But what they don’t tell you is that they are 5 states away and they are going to significantly jack up the price of their work!
Here is how this program works.

The company advertises that they have wildlife services or humane wildlife control services available nationwide. An 800 or 888 number is generally listed and you call the number and speak with an “expert” who will arrange to have a “technician” take care of you.

The “expert” then finds a local “trapper” to resolve your problem and of course adds a huge amount to your bill that you would not normally pay if you had hired a local Wildlife Control Expert. The “expert” has to jack up your bill because the “trapper” is sending him one and he is going to make a nice profit for basically taking a phone call.

Here is how to avoid dealing with these rip-off artists.

1. Ask the company if they are local or if you live near another state, are they close to you?

2. Ask them for a copy of their Nuisance Wildlife Management License and a copy of their insurance. If they send you a license that is out of state and it is not near you, this is a red flag. Ask them if they will be using a sub-contractor to do the work. Chances are they will be doing that. They have to as they cannot travel to you affordably.

3. If you suspect that you are working with a company who subcontracts out their wildlife work, you are risking any type of warranty claim you might have. For example, if you have your home repaired and animals re-enter your home, is the “trapper” responsible or the out of state “expert”? Why should the out of state “expert” care, he already has your money!

4. Look locally before you hire. If they have a local number, that is a great place to start. Ask friends for referrals. Visit this website for professionals across the country, Wildlife Professionals

5. Finally, check with your Secretary of State to see if the company is licensed to do business in your state. Most states require a business to be listed with the Secretary.

There is no reason you have to pay more for wildlife control services than you should. Paying a fair price is certainly reasonable, but paying an overly inflated price is never in the best interest of the consumer. The only person who benefits from that is the out of state “expert”.

Wildlife Control

The key to resolving and providing humane wildlife solutions for clients is the use of proper inspection techniques for wildlife services.

A All Animal Control takes pride in training its owners and technicians in the latest wildlife inspection techniques. Wildlife control is a very specialized field that requires a lot of unique training. One simply does not buy a couple of cage traps and is qualified to provide wildlife control services.

A true professional will provide a very thorough inspection and recommend the proper procedures for wildlife removal. Don’t be fooled by operators that install a one way door and claim that this will remedy the situation entirely for you. One way doors are often a “feel good” approach to wildlife control.

The reality is that the animal is now homeless once it leaves the attic, crawlspace or porch and will have to find another place to live. The stress the animal is under when it discovers it cannot get back into its home is profound. Have you ever been locked out of your house or car? Then you know how stressful that is. What if it is raining or in the middle of winter? Where is that animal going to go?

When an animal is forced to find a new home it may have to fight for a new territory or move into someone else’s house. Now you have the problem in another house with the same animal.
With many companies offering the “feel good humane approach” it is easy to get confused as to what is best for the animal. A very well respected organization, the Audubon Society knows quite well that relocation is not the answer.

Wildlife management must offer a variety of solutions to completely control the damage and do what is best for the animal at the same time. To think there is a best outcome for every animal situation would be naïve.

Wildlife managers make the best decisions based on the information available to them. The interests of the property owner and the animal are included in their animal control programs. United wildlife control decisions need to be made by the property and building owner.

When you hire a Wildlife Control Agent or Nuisance Wildlife Control Professional, make sure they are properly licensed, insured and have been trained in the industry. If they do not have any or all of these requirements, do not expose yourself to the liability of hiring this company or individual.

Wildlife Humane Solutions

Wildlife Humane Solutions are offered by the best Wildlife Management companies properly trained in controlling wildlife-human conflicts.

Controlling nuisance wildlife goes far beyond simply educating the public and asking them to resolve their own problem. Professional Wildlife Managers provide the service of removing the wildlife problem and provide a full menu of options to their clients.

Options would include repairing the clients home, installing prevention techniques and products, cleaning up animal waste and deodorizing/sanitizing the home or business.

Do not be fooled by companies that try to only offer "feel good" advice and solutions. Only time tested solutions offer the best results and value for your money spent on wildlife control.

Being humane is an important part of any wildlife control program, but actually solving the problem with real solutions and simply not advice over the phone or a pamphlet in the mail is what is required of a legitimate Professional Wildlife Service.
