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 Petaluma animal control for wildlife issues.

Petaluma Wildlife Removal Tip: What do mice eat and drink
For anyone who has issues with mice coming around your house, you have probably thought to yourself that these rodents will eat just about anything. The truth is that they will.

Mice are omnivores, which means that they will eat just about anything that they can get to. You have probably noticed this in that they can be found looking for food just about any place on your property. This may have made you wonder what mice eat and drink.

It might make for a shorter list if it was pointed out to you what mice will not eat. These animals love just about anything that they can get their mouth onto, so most things that can be found around your home are fair game to these critters.

Mice love to chew, so foods that offer them the ability to sink their teeth into something can really be a big bonus to them. This means that they will eat such things as crackers, nuts, vegetables, and fruits. If there is an outer shell or covering to the food, that is of no concern to the mouse. it will simply eat its way through, which you may have noticed when you woke up to find that your cracker or cereal box had been chewed through.

Mice also love sweet things. If you have left out peanut butter, candy, chocolate, or other kinds of treats, you can be sure that a mouse is going to try to get its teeth into that. They love the taste of the sweet products, even if they are not necessarily the healthiest thing that a mouse may eat. In fact, peanut butter can be one of the very best things you can use to try to trap mice.

Things that have a very strong odor will also attract mice, and are the kinds of things that they truly love. This is why cheese is often used as a bait. The animal cannot resist the odor, and will be attracted to it, but other kinds of things that have a strong odor like that can attract a mouse as well. It is for this reason that your garbage can is likely to become one place that a mouse cannot resist going to. A garbage can will usually have such a strong odor to it that it will entice the mouse toward it.

It is really this same kind of attraction that draws the mouse to the different kinds of things it will drink. For example, a mouse will drink carbonated soda because it is sweet. In fact, this is one of the primary means that you can use as a homemade remedy to kill off mice, because the gas buildup and their stomach and they are unable to expel it. Milk is also a tasty treat to a mouse, although sour milk will not attract it. Mice also need water to drink as part of their survival.
