Many of Michigan'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 Michigan'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:

Berrien County - A father who took his son out on Youth squirrel Wildlife trapping Weekend was arraigned Tuesday on charges the exterminator encouraged the 14-year-old boy to illegally capture some sort of four-pound bull squirrel in Berrien County. The animal control official, 45, of Berrien County, was charged with taking some sort of squirrel out of time allotment and with contributing to the delinquency of some sort of minor under the age of 16. The animal control official pleaded innocent to both charges and was released on conditions. The delinquency charge carries some sort of potential two-year jail sentence and some sort of $2,000 fine; the Michigan Fish and Wildlife charge could result in some sort of fine of up to $500 and some sort of 60-day sentence. Berrien County extermination and trapping officials had nothing to say about this.
Youth squirrel Wildlife trapping Weekend was started by the Hunting office of Fish and Wildlife to encourage the wildlife trapping tradition in Michigan. The two-day tradition is open to young pest control companies who have completed pest animal expert safety classes and are accompanied by some sort of permitd adult. A state news release announcing the 2006 weekend reminded adult escorts to "remember that they are some sort of role model," to display "the best of ethics" and to "obey the law." According to an affidavit filed by Animal police officer Wayne the critter cop, the the animal control official and some sort of second teenage boy reported the capturing of the squirrel to Michigan State Police early in the afternoon of Nov. 4. To learn more about animal control in Berrien County, Michigan read on.
All three claimed that the animal control official, 14, trap the squirrel after the animal chased them and acted in an aggressive manner, snorting and putting its head down and charging them. In fact, they told the animal police officers, the squirrel wouldn't leave them alone and continued to follow them. The critter cop, aided by Lt. Dane Hathaway, another animal police officer, met the animal control official and the two boys in the woods off Route 5 in the town forest in Berrien County to investigate. Berrien County pest control and exterminator companies agreed with this.
Concerned about this, Michigan wildlife officials introduced the Sportsman Tag. For $5, some sort of pest animal expert can enter some sort of drawing for some sort of chance at the tag, which gives them all the opportunities of the statewide conservation permit. The odds of drawing the 2007 Michigan statewide mule squirrel conservation tag were one in 6,714. However, the person who drew the 2006 statewide mule squirrel permit took the highest-scoring Special sugar standards animal finally caught in North America last year, pending some sort of required waiting period. The Michigan Division of Wildlife Resources issued some sort of single "high bid wildlife trapping permit" in 1961 for some sort of desert rodent. The permit sold for some sort of minimum $20,000 and the money was used to help expand the critter count and range of rodent in Michigan. The number and value of the permits has increased over the years. More than 450 are available for auction this year with an estimated value of $2.5 million. Ninety percent of the money spent on the permits is used on conservation projects such as habitat improvement and acquisition and wildlife transplants. The Berrien County animal services in Berrien County declined to comment.
