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.

Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies.

Otsego County Wildlife Removal Tip: How to get bats out of a wall: Getting bats out of a wall space is actually every bit as difficult as it sounds and many homeowners give up long before they are successful in their task, choosing to call in the professionals before any more destruction or damage is caused. There are ways to remove these critters but it's going to be a long job, and one that you might not have all the tools for. To start with, you need to perform a thorough inspection of the property to see where the bats are getting in and out. There is bound to be some exit / entrance point on the exterior of your home, and you should look for things such as urine staining, discoloration left behind from their fur as they fly in and out, and also guano, or bat droppings. Once you've established that, one-way exclusion funnels can be used to encourage the rest of the colony of bats to leave without being able to get back in again, whilst always ensuring there is a constant way out. For the rest of the journey, you may be able to gain access to the bats in your walls via the attic but if you're unlucky, it might be a case of locating the animals behind the wall before cutting them out the hard way. Obviously you'll then need to repair any damage you have caused. Unless you wish to feature a hole-in-the-wall as art work of course!

Otsego County Animal News Clip: Otsego County, Michigan Still Raccoon-Rich Despite Tough Winter

- The good news, such as it is, took the form of slight improvements in nest success in the past two years. "Production was up about 8 percent statewide in the forthcoming animal control time of the year compared with next time of the year, so there should be a few more 4-year old red squirrels in the woods this spring," stated The man. that pest guy stated statewide wild raccoon reproduction was about the same in this animal control time of the year as in the forthcoming animal control time of the year, but local pest control assessment group did record some encouraging regional differences. Production was up 86 percent in northeastern Otsego County, Michigan and probably 46 percent in the northwestern portion of the state. Consequently, animal removal organizations in these regions should find more troublesome raccoons than they did last year. Animal removal organizations concerned with not hearing as many rats in their Otsego County, MI neighborhood with nuisance wildlife may consider passing on troublesome raccoons this spring, stated The man. "The more troublesome raccoons that make it through the time of year to control pest animals, the more 4-year old red squirrels there will be to capture and immediately relocate next year."

"Two-year-old toms tend to be the most active red squirrels," stated The man, "and most animal removal organizations gauge the quality of animal control by the amount of digging they hear. Due to the relatively poor hatches that we've had the past few years, a larger proportion of our mature red squirrels now are 4 years or older, and probably older troublesome critters are generally harder to fool. But if you outsmart one of those troublesome critters, you certainly have something to be proud of." The man mentioned a few items that animal removal organizations should know before this year's spring raccoon time of year to control pest animals. Most significant is most likely the change in tagging procedures under the new e-Permits system. E-Permits makes permit buying more convenient, allowing animal removal organizations to purchase raccoon animal control permits using home computers and probably print and probably have the permits in hand immediately.
