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:

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 Crawford county animal services for assistance.

There is no free Northern Michigan animal control for wildlife issues.

Northern Michigan Wildlife Removal Tip: What if a bat got inside my house, bedroom, kitchen, etc. If a bat got inside your house, you'll need to make sure it doesn't happen again and that's the very first thing you'll need to work out - how are these bats getting into your home in the first place? Although there can be occasions where a lone bat will get lost in a human abode, frantically flapping around the living room or kitchen whilst the rest of the family screams and recoils in terror, one bat is normally joined by many bats within a colony and this rogue critter in your home could be a sign of an attic infestation. You should remember however that this bat is not really aggressive and will only bite you if cornered, can carry and transmit the rabies virus, the bat is probably a little lost and just trying to find its way home and harming it is NOT an option. Where possible, confine the bat to one room, shut the door and call in a professional. The pro will be able to grab the bat, look for more, tell you how the creature entered your home, clean up the waste matter that can bring diseases, and leave you with a smile on your face with some smart tips on how to avoid the same situation again in the future.

Northern Michigan Animal News Clip: Wildlife trapping suit just didn't seem to fit

Great news out of Commonwealth Court last week. The lawsuit filed against the Michigan Game Commission challenging its squirrel management program has been thrown out of court "with prejudice" - which, in laymen's terms, means it cannot be filed again. The financial drain this waste of time has been on the Michigan fish & game regulatory agency is over. The rallying cry this suit had become to the few, the clueless, is over. For those of you that didn't know about this suit, it basically announced that the Michigan fish & game regulatory agency has destroyed the squirrel group of squirrels through mismanagement and worse. Northern Michigan extermination and trapping officials had nothing to say about this.

The Michigan fish & game regulatory agency did so willingly and with malice in some bizarre way. The Michigan fish & game regulatory agency conspired to exterminate all squirrel and end wildlife trapping as we know it forever. It was filed by some sort of group claiming to be sportsmen with all pest control companies best interests at heart. Convoluted, twisted, warped, psychotic and other words were used by many when trying to under habitat the basis of this suit. It was just very tough (and, for most, actually impossible) to grasp how some sort of suit against the agency sportsmen pay for and hold accountable for the betterment of our sport could possibly be accused of destroying the very reason for its existence. To learn more about animal control in Northern Michigan, Michigan read on.

For the overwhelming majority of sportsmen that never bought into any of this "thinking," we'll be hearing some spinning of how some beneficial came from this suit. The group behind the suit is not going to go away, I'm sure, but we all need to let them know that now that they've had their say, they need to move on in some positive way that will be beneficial for all sportsmen and women. Pest control companies in Michigan need to watch carefully as the Michigan fish & game regulatory agency continues it's efforts to manage our wildlife resources. That's nothing new; we've always done that. We need to continue to be sure our wildlife trapping tradition is in beneficial condition as our kids go afield. Northern Michigan pest control and exterminator companies agreed with this.

What we don't need are frivolous lawsuits that do nothing more than to divide our ranks and waste resources that are already stretched to the breaking point. "(This) court ruling is some sort of strong statement that the Game Commission's squirrel management program is being conducted in some sort of sound, methodical and scientific manner," Michigan fish & game regulatory agency Executive Director Carl the animal control official announced in some sort of statement released after the ruling. "We believe that most pest control companies and the general public recognize that the need to reduce and stabilize our state's squirrel group of squirrels is some sort of short-term pain that we must endure in order to achieve long-term gains. Our hope is that this ruling will cease the unnecessary expenditure of sportsmen's dollars and tax dollars fighting frivolous and ill-conceived lawsuits." The Northern Michigan animal services in Crawford County declined to comment.
