Many of California's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving California's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Sonoma county animal services for assistance.

There is no free Bodega Bay animal control for wildlife issues.

Bodega Bay Wildlife Removal Tip: What smells do rats dislike
If you have ever been around a garbage dump or where there is a garbage bin located near a restaurant, one common animal you will find in large numbers is the rat. Because these animals will eat literally anything, it is extremely common to find them in areas like this. After all, there is a large assortment of potential food that is available to them.

If you have been around a garbage dump or one of these containers, you are likely aware that the smell can be overwhelming. Rotting fruits, vegetables, and meats, the smell of old bandages, tissue, and other kinds of waste can make for some of the most foul smells you have ever come across. Yet, rats are extremely happy to be located in one of these spots, because it offers them an incredible amount of food.

Because of how horrible it could smell in these locations and the fact that rats are often attracted here, it may make you wonder if there is any smell that a rat does not like it all. Are there smells out there that will deter a rat from coming around? Is there really a smell that rats dislike? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

There are actually a few different things that are so irritating to a rat that it will not come around if you are using it as some kind of repellents. The most appealing option of these is peppermint oil. Peppermint oil may have a pleasant taste and odor to people, but rats absolutely despise it. In fact, it is used by many exterminators as a deterrent sprayed around homes to keep rats away. You can have the same success by soaking this oil in rags and placing it in areas where you know that rats are attempting to get into your home. It will most surely keep them away.

Oddly enough, toilet cakes, commonly referred to as urinal cakes, can also work quite effectively. The smell of these cakes is another strong irritant to the rats, and will keep them away from your home. You may not particularly like your home smelling like the inside of a men's bathroom, but if you are having issues with rats than this is one you simply might need to close your own nose about.

Mothballs and ammonia can also be extremely effective repellents against rats. Both of these have extremely strong smells which rats absolutely despise. They will stay away from them. You should be aware though that these are very strong smells as well, especially ammonia. You simply can't use ammonia around your home in large quantities because it can cause a lot of damage to the soil, even killing your grass or other plants.

If you are having issues with rats coming around your home or coming out into areas you wish that they wouldn't, trying one of these products can really do the trick at controlling them. Rats may love most things in terms of the smell, but these are definitely a few they hate.
