Decatur Wildlife Removal Services Rid Home Of Unwanted Pests

By Dave L. Weglin


There are precautions the homeowner can take to prevent a pest invasion of his attic in the first place. Sealing garbage cans and keeping debris either cleaned up or a distance away from the house are two. If it is too late for prevention, the professionals from Decatur wildlife removal services will come to the rescue and remove wildlife from the home.

One major nuisance is the raccoon. Outdoors they will look for an open garbage can or other food source. Inside they will damage surroundings and property stored there. They have sharp claws that can tear screens and ruin insulation.

The experts do not use poison inside the home. For one thing, it is cruel. For another, if an animal were to die inside the home, the smell would be terrible. Instead, they are allowed to leave or are caught in live traps and released into the wild far away from your house.

The raccoons, squirrels and bats all view an attic as a great place to live. Once they have settled in, they will leave to find food and water. They will be able to easily re-enter through the same openings. Their droppings and urine collect and create a distinctly unpleasant smell. They carry diseases and parasites that are hazardous to humans.

The bat attacks the mosquito population and thus, while outdoors is beneficial to humans. But inside, this flying mammal will cause major destruction to the insulation and anything else in the attic. They enter through a small hole. Before you know it, they have contaminated everything they come in contact with.

The gray squirrel has the same potential for destroying property. It enters the attic by squeezing through tiny holes in the structure. It chews everything, including wood, with strong front teeth. It too will consider your attic a good habitat, especially during the cold winter months. The experts cannot seal off the openings until they are certain all the young have left.

The professionals start by inspecting the home and identifying the species. For raccoons they create a tunnel-like exit. They can leave, but, when they try to re-enter through the tunnel, it will be impossible since it is a one-way exit. When all raccoons are out, all possible entrances are sealed off. Clean-up and decontamination can begin. It may be extensive, depending on how long the animals have been living up in your attic.
