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:

• Cleanup of animal waste and odor control services

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 Marin county animal services for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Novato animal control for wildlife issues.

Novato Wildlife Removal Tip: What do opossums eat
Opossums are one of the oddest animals there is. Their primary defense is to play dead, and this has effectively helped to keep these animals alive since their creation.

While this is kind of an odd characteristic, possums are not the kind of animal you want to have around your home. The problem is that these animals are the carriers of many different diseases and parasites which pose a risk to you, your family, and your pets.

These are the kinds of things you have to worry about and to do your best to keep the opossum away from your home. You don't them putting your family at risk and one of the ways that you can help yourself in this way is to make sure that you don't have anything on your property that they will find to be an enticement.

This is especially true of food. If there are things that a possum will eat, then it will likely come onto your property to get that food. It is important that you do not offer it any opportunity to find food on your land, which may make you wonder what do possums eat?

Possums are omnivores, which means that they will eat both plants and meat. However, they will eat just about anything to be honest, as these critters are commonly found in a garbage can or dumpster if they can get into it.

Possums are frequently found eating such things as insects, worms, slugs, and snails. These bugs are a tasty snack to the possum, but they will also eat animals, like frogs, birds, rats, and mice. If they are able to find the eggs of birds and reptiles they will gladly eat those as well.

Possums do not limit their diet to meat products. They will frequently eat different types of fruits and vegetables. This means that if you have a garden, they will gladly get into your vegetables and fruits to eat themselves. They will eat carrots, berries, celery, pumpkin, and pretty much anything else that they can find.

The opossum will eat nuts as well, and will frequently be found around trees where nuts have fallen to the ground. This can make for quite a tasty treat for this critter.

Your generosity toward other animals can also entice this animal onto your land. Possums will gladly eat your pet's food and they will also eat bird seed that you put out. If they can get into your garbage can, you can bet that they will be eating anything that they can get out of there. Your garbage can often offers a great amount of food that it would love to eat, so you need to make sure that you keep your lid securely fastened.

There are a lot of things that a possum will eat, so it will take some work on your part to keep them away if you are worried about them coming onto your property. Deny them food and you will have a lot more success.
