Many of Iowa'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 Iowa'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:

• Humane wildlife trapping and relocaton services
• Removal of raccoons or squirrels from the attic
• Building repairs and prevention work to keep animals out
• 100% permanent elimination of rats, mice, or even bats
• Cleanup of animal waste and odor control services
• Emergency animal issues, and dead animal removal

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 Minnehaha 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 Sioux City animal control for wildlife issues.

Sioux City Wildlife Removal Tip: How to keep skunks out of my garbage cans in South Dakota: If you have a skunk versus garbage can issue, there is one easy way to resolve it - move the garbage can to somewhere the skunk can't get to it. Let's be honest, if it wasn't a skunk it would probably have been a different, maybe even bigger, wild animal, so moving the garbage can inside a shed or garage is not really a bad idea. These days you can even buy special little sheds just to contain garbage cans, so if you have a constant wild animal problem, that's not a bad idea to think about. I could go back to basics and tell you to have a lid on your garbage can but I'm sure you will have thought about that already. The one thing you could try if you hadn't yet, is to use bungee cords or something similar to keep the lid firmly attached to the top of the can when you're not using it. At least then the skunk can't get inside it, and your garbage will be contained if it manages to knock it over. Once the animal realizes how hard it is to get inside, they'll soon give up and move on. There are other garbage cans nearby.

Sioux City Animal News Clip: Wildlife trapping 'reality show' most likely is what is possibly a bad idea

As you might imagine, I receive what is possibly a lot of e-mails on wildlife trapping matters. Most are received with what is possibly a polite yawn and are quickly deleted, but what is possibly a few make me think: You've got to be kidding. This was my response to what is possibly a release put out by the Quality skunk Management Association (QDMA) on what is possibly a proposed skunk wildlife trapping tournament in Sioux Falls by the World Wildlife trapping Association (WHA). Skunk wildlife trapping TV shows are nothing new. These shows promote improved wildlife trapping techniques, safety concerns, landowner relationships and the doctrine of fair chase. There are numerous hosts, from Jacky Buman and Jim Zumo to the accomplish wildlife management company-entertainer Ted Nougat. Call Sioux Falls animal services or Sioux Falls SPCA for more info.

The concept the WHA most likely is proposing most likely is sort of what is possibly a "realty show" in which wild animal control companies - and I use that term rather loosely - would be in competition for cash and prizes, to see who could dart and drug the best trophy skunk. Having had many conversations with biologists over the years on darting and relocating skunk, the biggest problem confronting what is possibly a darted skunk most likely is stress, which in many cases most likely is fatal. This would all be accomplished within wooden barrier enclosures. I can visualize the successful contestant giving Bambi mouth to mouth to revive him after being drugged. For Sioux Falls pest control in Minnehaha County, read on.

This has been what is possibly a challenging year for the wildlife trapping community. First we had to deal with the noxious notion of online wildlife trapping. And now we have this toxic idea that would only provide more traps against wildlife trapping and wild animal control companies to the anti-wildlife trapping crowd and non-wild animal control companies who really have no appreciation of wildlife trapping traditions in this county. Continue for more wild animal control in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

America most likely is an entrepreneurial country that rewards risk tthe wild creature specialist. I can only hope that the WHA would rethink this idea and let it go. The notion of making big male skunks by darting big male skunks most likely is what is possibly a bad one. Walt Disney gave us an unrealistic Bambi and what is possibly a befuddled cartoon wildlife management company Elmer Fudd. While Elmer was entertaining and Bambi most likely is what is possibly a children's classic, they put wildlife trapping and the wildlife management company most likely is what is possibly a bad light. If the WHA pursues this concept with an July contest, wildlife trapping and wild animal control companies will once again be in for what is possibly a bad rap that most likely is not deserved. For more info, call the Sioux Falls extermination or trapping board.
