All About Bats & Wildlife

read moreGray, Red, and Flying squirrels are fun to watch but are also a big problem in the area. They are very destructive, forceful, and strong willed. In a matter of minutes they can chew through almost anything but are more often opportunistic. You may experience squirrels tearing up the yard and garden looking for acorns, raiding bird feeders, chewing on your home and breaking into the attic to nest. Because of their destructive tendencies, we will responsibly relocate nuisance squirrels, while paying attention not to orphan any young, and make repairs and/or perform exclusion to vulnerable areas.

Trying to block or fence them usually does not work since they will just re-dig or climb. Humane relocation is the only effective solution. Each spring the mother gives birth to 4-6 young. Groundhogs hibernate from mid November to mid march. Trapping begins early May and runs through October as these are the most active times for groundhogs (same as woodchuck) and increases your likelihood for successful removal.

Even worse, birds may nest in dryer vents, openings in the roofline, on ledges, in the exterior wall and in louvers or ridge-vents, sometimes leading to extreme mite and lice infestations. The Chimney Swift can live inside your chimney and nest down by the damper. Several types of Woodpeckers can do extensive damage to your siding while probing for insects or by territorial drumming to communicate with other birds. We can diagnose and act on a solution to your bird concerns and in most cases treat the issues with exclusion, repair, chimney caps, or visual deterrents.

Most exterminators will use poisons to control the population but there is risk of them dying and smelling in the inaccessible infrastructure of your house. Snap trapping is an alternate method that we could employ specific to your needs and eliminate that risk. Until your homes exterior has been inspected for openings along the foundation and roofline, and those problems addressed, you will still have continued mouse issues.

read moreDo you know bats need only between 1/4-3/8 inch of gap to squeeze through in order to colonize? Most homes have a tremendous amount of bat vulnerability to address and this is where our experience to the details is invaluable. We will thoroughly explore the exterior of your home and eliminate any active or potential ingress and egress points to prevent further bat colonization. At the same time, we will remove or filter out the bat colony using temporary one-way doors or exclusion valves to evict the bats.
