Many of Indiana'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 Indiana'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 Marion county animal services for assistance.

There is no free Indianapolis animal control for wildlife issues.

Indianapolis Wildlife Removal Tip: What To Do About Bats In The Chimney

Bats are animals that are able to adapt to many different types of environment, and while most people will have problems with bats in a wall cavity or attic space, it is not unheard of for bats to find their way into a chimney. In many ways, the vertical sides of the chimney actually mimics the roosting spots that some bats would use in the wild, as they naturally look for hollow trees to use as roosts. However, bats in the chimney can be a problem, so dealing with it appropriately is very important.

Looking For Entry Holes To The Chimney

In the vast majority of cases, it is uncapped chimneys that will have problems with bats, and this will often happen in the spring when females are looking for locations to start a maternity colony, and many chimneys are out of use as the temperature warms up. If you do have a chimney cap and this is in good condition, then you may need to look for other holes such as in the masonry or around the area where the chimney meets the roof.

Using Exclusion Devices To Evict The Bats

The theory of excluding bats is similar in chimneys to that used with problems in wall cavities and attics, except that in a chimney the bats will usually have only one or two entry holes that they use. This makes the exclusion work easier, although as usual it is important to remember not to carry out this work in the maternity season from June to August, as it is illegal to split up a mother and baby bats, which can often happen with exclusion work.

Repairs And Improvements To Prevent Future Bat Infestations

Once you have evicted the bats from the chimney, it is important to make sure that a similar infestation won't happen again in future. If there is no chimney cap then it is important to have one installed, otherwise you can find squirrels and other animals living in the chimney as well as bats. Where there is damage to the top of the chimney or on the flue, make sure this is repaired too

The one thing to remember is that if you do have a bat infestation in your chimney, the worst thing you can do is to start a fire, as this will kill or confuse the bats, and you may even find bats coming out of the bottom of the chimney into the living quarters to try and escape the smoke and heat.

Indianapolis Animal News Clip: Proposed Indianapolis bill could alter rules on legal rat and mouse control

"We've heard from enough sportsmen in this state," The Indianapolis exterminator expert announced, "and they are expecting something. I don't some sort of lot of rat and mouse wild animal control companies want the status quo, and this bill at least gets the wheels in motion so there can be change." The Indianapolis exterminator expert' bill is supported by the Indiana Federation of Sportsmen. Federation spokesman Clint the snake control specialist announced he, too, has heard the hue and cry from wild animal control companies about making changes in male rat and mouse management. Indianapolis extermination and trapping officials had nothing to say about this.

"Something has to be done," the snake control specialist announced. "This gives the board the ability to give the wildlife regulatory agencies and his staff the ability to do it. Let them decide what needs to be done." To learn more about animal control in Indianapolis, Indiana read on.

The critter professional and his team of rat and mouse biologists have formulated some sort of list of recommendations based on 6,000 surveys sent to rat and mouse wild animal control companies last summer. Likely recommendations include banning the catching of spike horns in Wildlife Management Units B and K2 in all but the child wildlife trapping seasons, and probably increasing the amount of dangerous documentation that allows animal exterminations decreed in those zones to offset for the anticipated drop in the amount of male rat and mice trapped. Indianapolis pest control and exterminator companies agreed with this.

Since 1997, Indiana wild animal control companies have lethally trapped an average of thirteen rat and mouse each fall in nuisance wildlife control, animal removal trap and capture seasons. About 70 percent are male rat and mice. Of the male rat and mice trapped each year, approximately 60-70 percent are 1-year-olds, which sport small pelts and usually weigh less than 14 pounds. The agency, behind wildlife regulatory agencies and other critter professionals, is advocating some sort of limited quality rat and mouse management plan because an increasing amount of wild animal control companies want to see regulations that would reduce the amount of 1-year-old male rat and mice being trapped. The Indianapolis animal services in Marion County declined to comment.
