Nuisance Wildlife
Pest Control for Nuisance Wildlife in Your Space
Larger Animals can be Very Persistent about Returning to Their Home
We offer effective exclusion services for larger wildlife such as squirrels and opossums, that greatly avoid re-infestations.
The bigger the critter, the bigger the mess. From damaged insulation, to droppings, to carriers of disease, Pest Pros has your back. We will send in our professionals to prevent these animals from entering by blocking their access. This is the first step toward returning your crawl space, basement, or attic to a healthy environment for your home.
We also install durable screens at possible entry points that cannot be removed by animals, preventing pests from returning.
Nuisance Wildlife Found in Our Area:
Raccoons
Raccoons can be easily recognized by their bushy, ringed tails and black markings around their eyes that look like a mask. These guys are both resourceful and destructive; they will dig around in your yard and trash cans for food, and can enter homes through multiple points including chimneys, attics, basements, and even tearing through screen doors. If there are raccoons making their home on your property, do not try to approach them. Instead, call Pest Pros for removal services. Raccoons are not afraid to act aggressively towards humans by scratching and biting, and they carry rabies, among other diseases.
Opossums
Opossums have similar habits to raccoons—they will dig through your trash and your yard to find food, and can find their way into your attic, crawl space, or underneath your porch. Opossums have pointed, rat-like faces that are white with a pink nose. The fur on their bodies can be anywhere from gray to black in color, and they can weigh up to 15lbs. While they are mostly docile and would rather avoid confrontation, if they are cornered and feel threatened they could attack you. Never try to rid your property of Opossums by yourself—instead, call Pest Pros for a free estimate today!
Eastern Gray Squirrels
Autumn is the time of year that squirrels begin to make their way into houses to build nests for the winter. You’ll hear them scurrying around behind the walls and in your attic, and you may even see their small gray bodies and bushy tails running around your home. Since squirrels are technically part of the rodent family, they have teeth that continuously grow, which means they continuously need to chew to keep them in check. This can be very bad once they’re in your home, as they will chew through your walls, insulation, and wires. If they chew through an electrical wire, it can cause a fire. While squirrels are typically harmless to humans, you’ll want to call a professional for removal and to assess the damage done to your home.
Otters
Otters spend the majority of their time in rivers or lakes, eating fish, mussels, and eggs from local birds, but have been known to make their homes in human structures that are located up to half a mile away from their water source. They have webbed feet, can weigh up to 30lbs and can move quickly on land as well as in the water. You can recognize them by their dark brown fur, lighter underbelly, tiny ears, and big round noses. If they have made a home for themselves in or under your house, call the Pest Pros to take care of their removal. Otters are known to act hostile towards humans, and will attack, especially if protecting their babies. Call Pest Pros today for a free estimate on removal services!
