Call On Decatur Wildlife Removal Services To Evict Unwanted Rodents

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 raccoon is one of the primary rodents that carry rabies. It can be transferred to humans if they are bitten. Other rabies carriers are bats, skunks and the fox. The experts do not employ poison inside the home. Poison is cruel. Plus if the animal were to die within the house, the dead body would decompose and give off a terrible smell.

After the raccoon or squirrel gains access for the first time, it will go out to find water and food. Then it will easily get back inside. All the urine and droppings deposited in your attic will cause odors and are unsanitary. The health of your family will be at risk. In addition to the rabies virus the animals carry, they have parasites which can be transported to your attic.

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.

Gray squirrels cause the same type of damage by chewing insulation and stored items. After getting inside these rodents can rapidly turn the home into an unsafe environment. Experts are required to remove them safely and release them into an area far from your property. The homeowner who tries to remove them himself may create even bigger problems.

One method they use is to prepare an exit tunnel that will get the raccoons, squirrels and bats to leave through it. It is one of those exits where they can leave, but, once outside, cannot get back in through the tunnel. It is a one-way exit, and after the animals are all out, all possible entryways are sealed to prevent them from getting back inside.
