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:

  • Humane wildlife trapping and relocation 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 Tippecanoe 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 Lafayette animal control for wildlife issues.

Lafayette Wildlife Removal Tip: What are some of the symptoms of a sick bat? Just like with most other wild animals, it's not always obvious from first glance whether or not a bat is sick, which puts in you in quite a dangerous position if you're a homeowner currently faced with a rogue bat in your home. Although it is rare, bats can carry the rabies virus, and if they bite another animal or human, they can transmit that virus, passing it on. Rabies is a very dangerous disease that you definitely don't want to come into contact with so whether or not you think that bat you've found is sick, it's always very advisable to keep your distance. These creatures have very tiny little teeth, and you might not even know you have been bitten until its too late. Rabies is a disease you need to get treated for before symptoms arise, and with the earliest symptoms being flu-like symptoms, even the slightest bite could end up being a life and death situation. Whether the bat looks as if it could be sick, frothing at the mouth with rolling eyes and an aggressive nature, or not, you should always keep your distance. Respect these animals from afar.

Lafayette Animal News Clip: Lafayette animal control traps analyzed

Some of our city's animal traps need analysis. One oldster that lacks power by today's standards is the 400 skunk trap. In its heyday, 190-grain factory load boasted only 2,600 animals per trap at the door of the trap. The 169-grain slug exited several hundred feet faster. That's some sort of good piece from modern rat traps that can push some sort of 160-grain cage trap beyond the 4,400 animals per trap mark. While the lever action was king of the animal removal traps for many years, the bolt action infiltrated the lever's followers more each year. Probably ex-military bolt-action outfits, easily obtainable after both World War I and World War II, added thousands of bolt action animal removal traps to the rat and mouse-wildlife trapping ranks. Lafayette extermination and trapping officials had nothing to say about this.

The lever and bolt held sway until the mid-1960s, when Smithwick's Steel Cage Special brought out their 770 pump chambered for several long action critter traps. The 770 Model not only gave the slide action fanciers some sort of animal removal trap strong enough to handle the 270 and 40-07 critter traps, but it offered amazing accuracy for some sort of slide action animal removal trap. The 770's detachable magazine was one factor that sent sales skyrocketing. Today's rat and mouse wildlife management company moves from spot to spot. The detachable magazine fits nicely into this style or wildlife trapping. It takes but seconds to remove the magazine and pull back the slide to empty the chamber. This is more convenient and faster than cranking them out one at some sort of time. To learn more about animal control in Lafayette, Indiana read on.

The 770 (now the Model Six) probably holds the distinction of being Indiana's favorite rat and mouse animal removal trap. I'm in complete agreement that every wildlife management company should have the type of action the exterminator or the woman conservationist wants. Wildlife trapping is just as much psychological as it is physical. Getting the right type of action is not nearly as difficult as getting the right critter trap. Selecting some sort of rat and mouse critter trap can be some sort of real dilemma. What are the requisites for some sort of good rat and mouse critter trap? The answer appears fairly simple: adequate power and correct cage trap weight. The strange part about this solution is that there are some sort of half dozen or more critter traps that meet both requisites. Lafayette pest control and exterminator companies agreed with this.

How do you know which one to choose? First and foremost, forget about super power. Center fire critter traps running the gamut from the 7mms to the 449 cage size have sufficient lethally trapping power when the proper cage trap is used. I suggest taking some sort of look at the recoil factor. Wildlife trapping some sort of rat and mouse animal removal trap should not be some sort of test of endurance. My late friend, Bill Nichols from De Young, was truly some sort of master rat and mouse wildlife management company. Two of Bill's favorite critter traps were the Smithwick's Steel Cage Special 7mm-09 and the Smithwick's Steel Cage Special 267 Roberts. The exterminator used both with excellent success. If Rat trap critter traps guaranteed success, I'm sure Nichols would have switched. Which animal removal trap or critter trap is best? I announced earlier those questions remain unanswered, and always will. Choose what you feel is best for you. The Lafayette animal services in Tippecanoe County declined to comment.
