Urban sprawl to meet the demands of a growing population is resulting in nuisance wildlife interference in homes, garages, sheds, and woodpiles. Since their habitat is dwindling, animals seek shelter and food in the newly populated urban areas and suburbs. Squirrels, fox, skunks, and opossums are only a few examples. Trash bins, nuts, fresh fruit, vegetables in a garden, and berries are plentiful so wildlife burrow and nest inside.
Dangers
Once wildlife has entered the home or yard, the risks of health and structural dangers are very high. Wildlife can carry mites, fleas, worms, ticks, lice, scabies, and mange right into the house. Excrement will develop mold, bacteria, and mildew. Infestations, exacerbation of allergy and asthma symptoms, and new respiratory problems are common, as are headaches and nausea. Dangers are higher for children and pets who are often bitten by these pests.
Structural damage can include stripped wiring, infested support beams, damage to the foundation, ruined insulation in the attic, and weakening of stairs, porches, and decks. The main problem with this type of damage is that it can be extensive by the time property owners notice there is an issue. The best way to avoid major damage or health risks is to contact Wildlife Control Company as soon as possible. Humane traps and bait will be set and placed for safe opossum removal in Reynoldsburg, or the removal of most wildlife.
The Process
The assessment at the initial visit will provide professionals with the information needed to identify the animal and target it. Whether the property needs opossum removal in Reynoldsburg or requires the removal of skunks or raccoons, proper traps will be set the same day or the next day. State law indicates traps need to be checked every twenty-four hours. Owners can avoid a daily maintenance fee if they decide to visually check traps and notify the company if an animal is present.
Once animals have been trapped and relocated or disposed of, depending on the guidelines of the law, repairs and exclusion measures can begin. Experienced wildlife control technicians will inspect the attic, detect any damage at the point of entry, and survey the buildings for any other signs of damage. Repairs are offered. Exclusion measures consist of ways to block animals from gaining entry into the building. Both repairs and exclusion work are warrantied for one-year.
