Wildlife Identification & Prevention

Nuisance wildlife includes wildlife animals that have the potential to cause major problems around human structures when they decide to settle there. In our area, nuisance wildlife that is commonly encountered includes raccoons, groundhogs, opossums, and squirrels. Each of these pests may invade your property’s outdoor or indoor spaces and create havoc as they scavenge for food, create their nests, and leave behind droppings.

Wildlife removal is essential to defeating these nuisance pests, and you shouldn’t attempt to confront raccoons, groundhogs, opossums, or squirrels alone, as infestations do present serious health and safety risks.

Though many individuals think that wildlife animals are cute, these pests can be quite dangerous and should be treated with caution. Not only do all wildlife animals have the ability to scratch and bite humans, but they easily transmit diseases by interacting with and living around humans. The wildlife in our area are carriers of serious illnesses such as raccoon roundworm, ringworm, and tularemia, among many others.

Additionally, all nuisance wildlife has the potential for introducing ticks, fleas, and mites to your property, something that leads to future infestation problems and further health issues. The droppings that wildlife leaves behind in outdoor and indoor areas also create unhygienic areas and may trigger allergic reactions.

Wildlife is typically attracted to properties that are hospitable to them, so if you are experiencing an increase in wildlife animals, you likely have easy access to food, moisture, and sheltering spots on display. Lots of cracks and gaps around the foundation of your property or on the roof of your structure may also encourage wildlife to set up around interior spaces.

Nuisance wildlife is typically found outdoors hiding near food areas, in dens underground, or around piles of debris. Spaces near trash cans, outbuildings, or gaps in crawl spaces are all prime spots for nuisance wildlife to hide. If these animals invade interior spaces, they will most likely be found in basements, attics, storage spaces, or garages.
