When to Call a Wildlife Expert

     

    Wild animals are a part of nature but they can pose health hazards and become a nuisance if they get too comfortable on your property. While there are many DIY methods out there that claim to deter wildlife, they generally lack effectiveness which is why if you have a wild animal on your property or in your home, it’s best to contact an expert immediately.

    Signs of a Wildlife Animal Infestation

    Many wildlife animals invade homes, specifically attics, and crawl spaces, to be safe from predators or to raise their family. Others will damage your yard and garden as they forage for food and shelter. Here are some signs you may have a wildlife infestation.

    • Animal droppings
    • Scratch marks on your attic walls
    • Nests
    • Chewed up wires
    • Chewed up or disturbed insulation
    • Ripped up ducts
    • Hearing screeches, howls, cries or scampering
    • Physically seeing the wild animal

    Risks of Wildlife Animals

    Wildlife animals aren’t domesticated so if they feel threatened or frightened they may pose a danger to your family and your pets by attacking. Wildlife animals can also cause property damage by chewing on wiring, insulation, gas lines, or gutters. Even worse, a wild animal can die in an enclosed area and begin to rot. Wildlife animals also aren’t housebroken, in addition to producing a lot of waste, they can potentially carry harmful viruses and bacteria.
