Raccoon Removal
Raccoons in their natural habitat are excellent climbers and use the cover of trees to protect themselves from predators. But that also makes attics and chimneys an ideal substitute when the weather turns cold, and the availability of trees is low. Although these creatures are quite cute, they are also quite destructive.
Detroit’s suburbs play host to raccoons searching for food and shelter. Garbage, compost, and scraps attract these animals to properties; in some cases, these animals also establish dens in chimneys and attics.
Inspection: Raccoons are well-known for raiding trash cans and pet food. Your specialist will inspect your property for footprints in and around your home and also inspect any chimneys and attics. Raccoons may travel alone or in family groups; therefore, your specialist will not assume they’re looking for a single animal.
Removal: Never attempt to remove raccoons yourself. Raccoons are a rabies vector species; therefore, your technician will live trap all raccoons to humanely remove them from your property.
Repairs: Your specialist will ensure all entry points that can be used by raccoons or other local wildlife are fully sealed to prevent future entry. You may also be advised to seal your trash cans and bring pet food inside.
Rodent Removal
Like most major cities with harsh winters, Dearborn has its share of rodent problems. Both rats and mice find shelter and food in residential areas and will build nests in homes to prepare for the long Michigan winters.
Inspection: Your Critter Control specialist will conduct a thorough inspection of your home and make a note of all potential entry points that could provide access. For example, slim gaps under doors and tiny, dime-sized holes in home foundations are enough to allow a mouse inside.
Removal: It’s always best to leave rodent removal to a trained specialist with the proper equipment. A mouse can transmit pathogens and parasites to humans as well as pets. Your technician will set up traps and check them for several days to ensure all rodents are captured.
Repairs: Rodents can leave plenty of damage behind. Your specialist will seal all entry points, clean up excrement, and use rodenticides around the exterior of the home to reduce the mouse infestation pressure on the house.
Squirrel Removal
There are nine species of squirrels in Michigan. While some hibernate, others make take up residence inside homes. These animals are adept at finding food in and around homes. If they find an entry point, they will certainly set up a nesting site for their young.
Inspection: Your Critter Control specialist will inspect your attic and crawl space for the presence of squirrels; in particular, they’ll look for food such as nuts, nests, nesting materials, and droppings.
Removal: Although squirrels are considered small game animals and can be hunted in the state of Michigan, please leave removing them from your property to a professional. Your specialist will discuss trapping or setting up one-way doors to remove squirrels. If babies are also found, they will be hand removed and relocated with their mom.
Repairs: It is essential to seal all entry points to prevent future entry after squirrel removal. Like other rodents, squirrels have front teeth that continuously grow, which means they can chew a new way back into your home. Your specialist may also suggest removing trees or tree branches on or close to your roof to help prevent the entry or reentry of squirrels into your home.
Bat Removal
Michigan is home to nine bat species. Big brown and little brown bats are the most common and can be found in buildings. Although bats can be a nuisance for home and business owners throughout the Detroit metropolitan area, they are protected by law and may not be harmed.
Inspection: Your Critter Control specialist will take note of not only bat guano, or feces, but also look for any small holes or open windows that could welcome bats into your home. Gaps along rooflines are likely entry points for an infestation, for example.
Removal: It’s always best to let a professional wildlife specialist handle bat removal since these animals may transmit rabies or histoplasmosis. Your specialist will most likely install a bat valve to safely remove bats from your home. The removal process can take up to seven days.
Repairs: Please leave cleaning up all guano, which can spread disease to humans, to your specialist. After removing bats from your home, your specialist will seal any entry points. Unlike rodents, bats do not chew their way inside and will only use existing holes to gain access to attics and crawl spaces.
