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.

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.

Roanoke, VA Bat Control

Denver, CO Prairie Dog Problems

Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson counties in Colorado are no strangers to Prairie Dogs.

Prairie Dogs can create real problems for homeowners and landowners alike. They burrow into lawns and landscapes and create holes that can be unsafe for people.

Prairie Dogs can also transmit plague through the fleas that they normally carry in their fur.

Pets should be kept away from Prairie Dog towns to prevent the transmission of plague from fleas dispersing from the Prairie Dog to the pet.

These animals can be controlled through treatment programs and fencing to keep them contained and off of your property.
