Even the biggest animal lovers don’t necessarily want uninvited furry guests meandering into their home. While wildlife is fun to observe in their natural habitat, once the animals start intruding into your space, you can encounter multiple issues.
Here in Arizona, you may find yourself having close encounters with a variety of wildlife including raccoons, bats, birds, squirrels, snakes, skunks, or beyond!
But these cool critters come with potential problems for your family and your property.
Signs You Should a Company like Critter Evictors in Scottsdale
Outside of visibly seeing an animal in your space, they can leave behind signs that it’s time to reach out to our wildlife removal services. Some evidence you may find in your home include:
● Droppings of any kind
● Abandoned nesting material
● Strange sounds like knocking or crawling in the walls or attic
● New entry points (i.e. hole in siding)
● Unfamiliar smells
By ignoring these potential signs of a wildlife invasion, you’re opening yourself up to two major hazards: disease and damage.
Disease
One of the biggest concerns when crossing paths with a wild animal is the potential for diseases. While rabies is likely the most known, there are plenty of other germs and bacteria that animals carry that may not affect them, but can be detrimental for a human.
Even if you don’t come in direct contact with the animal, they can leave dangerous traces behind, like bats that can litter an attic with droppings.
Damage
Intruding animals aren’t walking in the front door. Instead, they’re likely finding their way into your home through existing weaknesses or worse – the animals are causing damage trying to get in.
For example, skunks and other rodents have been known to dig under foundations or beneath doors in order to access crawl spaces or open areas beneath a home. Squirrels may use their teeth to gnaw wood and create a small entry point or destroy insulation to use as nesting material once inside.
3 Important Reasons to Call a Wildlife Professional
Because wild critters can cause these issues, it’s vital to act fast. But it’s also important that you bring in the experts and here’s why.
Cute Doesn’t Equal Cuddly
Wild animals are just that – wild. And when they feel threatened, it’s impossible to know how a critter is going to react. You don’t want to put yourself at risk for bites, scratches, or inadvertent injuries from an impromptu wrestling match with wildlife.
Instead, reach out to a professional wildlife removal service who will come equipped with the appropriate gear, traps, and experience to capture the animal with no risk to you or your family.
Time is of the Essence
If you’re dealing with an infestation, time is not on your side. Removal becomes much more difficult when animals have been given time to set up camp, or worse – multiply! That’s why as soon as you notice signs of an invader, give us a call to scour your home and ensure it’s only your loved ones living under your roof.
Humane Solutions
Some methods employed by homeowners trying to perform DIY pest removal can be inhumane or even kill the animal. Store bought traps can malfunctions and injure the wildlife (or even you!), while options like poisons are dangerous and may cause an animal to suffer.
Instead, we offer humane removal of all critters and release them to a safe space where they will be happy and, more importantly, no longer a bother to you. Additionally, depending on the animal, local ordinances may mandate certain treatment or release protocols. Our experts know the ins-and-outs of the rules, so you don’t have to.
