How Decatur Wildlife Removal Services Help Relocate Unwanted Residents

How Decatur Wildlife Removal Services Help Relocate Unwanted Residents

By Dave L. Weglin


The paths of humans and wild animals intersect more often as natural habitats shrink. While most people enjoy seeing them in the wild, they do not want to provide free pet food or a home in the attic. When these outdoor creatures make the transition from forest dweller to urban pest, Decatur wildlife removal services can trap and move them in a safe and humane manner.

The methods used are not only be environmentally safe, but also meet legal requirements. Poisonous aerosols may sometimes be used to control destructive insects, but not to eliminate squirrels or bat populations. These creatures may actually die within the walls, producing an even greater headache. Widely-sold glue traps can be effective, but death comes from suffocation or starvation.

Many homeowners consistently turn to wildlife relocation companies for help. The process begins with a thorough inspection determining the extent of an infestation, as well as an estimate of the time and expense required to complete the job. Control personnel examine an entire structure to determine points of entry, where nests are located, and whether there are babies.

When interlopers are part of an established population, education helps prevent a repeat occurrence. Services may recommend installing exclusion hardware that most animals cannot easily circumvent, and demonstrate how extremely small holes can provide access. The process does not end with capturing the creatures, but also includes a thorough cleanup of nesting sites and excrement.

Many snakes, birds, bats and larger animals are covered by local laws governing how they may be treated. To control and eradicate rabies and other diseases, some areas require captured creatures to be euthanized. Other species enjoy protections against even the appearance of harmful action. An experienced, reputable business will be able to explain fully which limits may apply.

Neither city animal dog and cat refuges nor insect pest eradication businesses work with wild animal infestations. Their employees are generally not trained in the required trapping procedures, and using deadly sprays can make a bad situation even worse. Likewise, removal services simply do not deal with insect populations, but only larger vertebrates.

From discouraging pushy pigeons to evicting squirrels from the chimney, removal services obey all federal, local and state regulations. Not only must they operate as humanely as possible, but also must have insurance and have a current trapping license. Although they do not work with domestic animals, they are thoroughly schooled in the issues created by nuisance wildlife.
