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.

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.

To avoid those complications, many homeowners rely on wildlife control companies for assistance. A thorough inspection to determine the range and scope of the invasion begins the process, which also includes a general estimate of the time and expense necessary for completion. The smallest entry points are found, breeding nests located, and the existence of babies confirmed or eliminated.

If the population is embedded, they provide education on preventing further invasion. They may recommend installation of exclusion devices that animals have difficulty circumventing, as well as providing tips on plugging holes. Simply removing animal populations is not enough. Areas must be thoroughly clean afterward to remove nest material and waste containing parasites and microorganisms.

Whether the problem includes snakes, birds, or even armadillos, state laws govern how those animals must be treated. In an effort to control the spread of rabies and other diseases, certain types of creatures must be euthanized, while other species may be fully protected against any form of mistreatment. A reputable company will fully explain whether restrictions, if any, apply in a particular situation.

Neither local animal control officers nor standard insect pest control agents work with populations of wild animals. Insect eradication commonly involves toxins, and most shelter workers are not trained in current trapping techniques. Similarly, removal services concentrate on removing only vertebrates, and rarely become involved in situations dominated by wasps, bees or ants.

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.
