Decatur Wildlife Removal Services Relocates Animals Humanely

By Dave L. Weglin


As natural habitats become fragmented, the lives of human beings and wild animals inevitably overlap. Most people enjoy watching animals in a natural setting, but do not want them scratching around in the attic or stealing the pet food. When wild outdoor creatures become residential pests, Decatur wildlife removal services helps capture and relocate them safely and humanely.

Service employees use capture methods that are both legal and environmentally sound. Harmful insect infestations sometimes require chemical aerosol treatment, but the same method used on larger creatures such as raccoons or bats become cruel as well as unnecessary. Poisoned animals die within the walls, creating a greater hazard. Popular controls such as glue traps work, but the animals succumb to starvation or suffocation.

Because of these complications, many homeowners routinely turn to wildlife control companies. Before work begins, an inspection must be performed to realistically determine the degree of infestation, and an estimate given detailing the time and resources necessary for completion. Personnel closely inspect structures for the smallest entry points, locate nests, and determine whether babies are present.

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 evicting squirrels to discouraging aggressive pigeons from moving in, a reputable service must comply with all federal, state, and local regulations. Not only must they operate humanely, but must also carry insurance and have an up-to-date license to trap. While they do not deal with domestic animals, they are thoroughly trained to solve the unique problems created by nuisance wildlife.
