Before wintertime is entirely upon us, it is strongly recommended to have your home and property inspected and serviced by a professional nuisance animal control company. Certain wildlife, such as raccoons, bats, and opossum, look for warm shelter from the frigid temperatures this time of year. In suburban and residential areas, homes are at risk of becoming that sought-after shelter. Nuisance wildlife are getting better at finding entry-points into our homes, and once inside, can cause an incredible amount of damage and distress. Not only do these damages disrupt your daily life, they can also cost you hundreds, and even thousands, of dollars in renovations and repairs.

Professional Animal Removal

When you hire a professional animal removal service, be sure you hire a company that retains licensed and qualified contractors. A licensed animal control company is likely to have better resources, equipment, experience, and training. Another important aspect to investigate before hiring such service is the method to which they remove or extract animals from a home or property. No animal should ever be harmed or killed, so be sure the company of your choice only practices safe and humane animal control. All of these factors are important when it comes to home protection. You want to have a reputable and professional animal removal contractor to provide their service in a way you can trust. On top of animal extraction, a reputable and experienced company should be able to also offer animal-proofing, preventative maintenance, animal cleanup (i.e. urine, feces, birthing debris, etc.), property inspections, free estimates, emergency animal removal, and much more. These amenities speak to the company's true value and proficiency.

Homes that are located near or in wooded areas are prone to more nuisance wildlife, like raccoons, squirrels, and bats. Homes that are located near bodies of water might experience problems with beavers, skunks, and snakes. Regular homes in typical residential neighborhoods are likely to experience problems associated with animals like squirrels, pigeons, rabbits, raccoons, and bats. Rural homes are commonly exposed to coyote problems, foxes, woodchucks, and more. Fortunately, a licensed and experienced animal removal company can affordably combat these problems and more for all home and property types.
