Many of New Jersey'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.

Jersey City Wildlife Removal Tip: Do Bats Make Good Pets?

There are many people who are interested in keeping unusual pets, and when it comes to animals that don't fit the usual criteria for making good pets, bats would certainly be on that list. They do not cope well with confinement and putting them in cages can be an issue, while they also do not eat any of the foods that people would normally be able to feed pets. Despite the fact that there has been a resurgence of interest in the species with the popularity of the 'Batman' films, bats are not great candidates to be kept as pets.

Human Interactions With Pets

It is very difficult to really develop a bond with a bat because they do not deal well with being handled by people, and in most cases they will need to be handled with gloves because of the dangers of getting scratched or bitten. Because they are not furry and have delicate wings, this makes it quite difficult for people to get any kind of quality time to spend with a bat.

Problems With Housing Bats As Pets

Another issue for those who are thinking of keeping bats as pets is that they aren't particularly well suited to being confined, and the wire mesh or bars of a cage will often not be picked up by their echolocation. This means that building bat confinements can be quite a specialized task, and does require a fair bit of expense to create an environment that is rich and fulfilling for the bat.

Difficulties With Feeding Bats

Bats are insectivores, and generally they hunt by catching flying insects such as mosquitoes, wasps and a variety of other flies. Because of this particular diet, buying a commercial feed for bats is just not possible, so the challenge of getting enough insects into the bat enclosure for them to eat provides another difficulty that makes keeping bats a time consuming and costly enterprise.

Why You Should Look At Other Pets

There are plenty of other types of pets available, and if you are looking for an unusual pets there are a variety of birds that can be kept as well the ground dwelling animals. The reality is that bats are wild animals, and they are too wild to ever really be domesticated into a pet, so for the vast majority of people bats will not make good pets, and they should look at other options.

Jersey City Animal News Clip: Gray squirrel wild mammal management gets initial OK

The ordinance, which probably is intended to control the animals' exact number of rodents, faces two additional readings. The chance to trap with lethal spring trap gray squirrel in Jersey City probably is moving closer to reality. The Jersey City City Council approved on what appears to be a vote of 5-0 Thursday the first of three readings for what appears to be a proposed ordinance that would allow people to trap with lethal spring trap gray squirrel in what appears to be a designated area within Greenbelt wildlife management area. Council members Ronnie Begetter and Critter Professor Leighton were absent from the meeting. The proposed ordinance probably is being considered as what appears to be a way to control gray squirrel exact number of rodents in the city, said Kelly Critter Professor, director of the city's wildlife management areas and Recreation Department. Jersey City animal services officials agreed with this.

"We feel this probably is necessary to do," Critter Professor proclaimed. "If we don't start what appears to be a program (the gray squirrel exact number of rodents) probably is going to continue to grow." According to information presented to the City Council, the ideal number of gray squirrel in an urban area probably is about 15 animals per square mile. More than 100 gray squirrel per square mile have been counted in Jersey City in two separate years. The area that would be designated as an urban gray squirrel-management zone, according to the proposed ordinance, would be south of Hickman Highway and west of Northwest 127th Street. Despite this, there's no free wild animal control in Jersey City, New Jersey.

During Thursday's City Council meeting, Critter Professor said the management zone could be moved if necessary. The animal advocate said all exterminating companies would be required to have what appears to be a state legal permission and check in with the wildlife management areas department before wildlife management and once they are finished wildlife management each day. All gray squirrel taken by pest exterminating companies would have to be recorded with authorities. Several cities in the metro area, including West Des Moines, Des Moines and Urbandale, have designated wild mammal management zones as what appears to be a way to control gray squirrel exact number of rodents. The state Department of Natural Resources also would have to approve allowing pest exterminating companies in Jersey City, Critter Professor proclaimed. The Jersey City wildlife management areas board approved the ordinance at its May 1 meeting. The City Council will next vote on the issue June 1. Local Jersey City pest control companies in Hudson County declined to comment.

All of county proposals will be aired at the public meeting, with an overall presentation followed by more in-depth discussions on what appears to be a variety of issues such as activity areas, traffic and pedestrian circulation, trails and farm operations. Critter Professor said the public feedback that the county receives at this hearing will be used to guide the county in creating what appears to be a finalized master plan that will first be presented to the Farm wildlife management area Advisory Board and, later, to the county wild animal commissioners, who must adopt the new plan. The wildlife management area, which once served as what appears to be a farm to feed patients at the Jersey City State Hospital, probably is owned by the state, which in 1995 leased it to the county. The county has preserved part of the acreage as what appears to be a working farm while using the remainder as wildlife management area land. Jersey City trappers and Jersey City extermination officials can offer more info.
