Many of Pennsylvania'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 Pennsylvania'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 Allegheny 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 Pittsburgh animal control for wildlife issues.

Pittsburgh Wildlife Removal Tip: Should I Relocate A Bat?

When it comes to dealing with a bat problem, there are a variety of different things that you can do, and some of the options available can prove to be more effective than others. Dealing with an animal problem has often seen many people use cage traps to catch the animal and then relocating the animal a good distance away from the property. This approach is far from ideal when it comes to dealing with bats however, so it is very important that you should consider all of the options before deciding on relocation as an option.

The Problems With Bat Relocation

Bats are not creatures that deal well with being confined, and it is very hard to confine bats in a trap safely, as they have a natural instinct to fly away, and they are not always able to look after themselves. Because of the echolocation system that the bats use to navigate, they aren't able to identify the bars or the wire mesh of a cage as a problem, so they will repeatedly fly into the sides of the cage and can injure themselves. They also survive in colonies, so relocating them in a totally unfamiliar area can leave them very vulnerable, and will usually lead to the bat being unable to survive.

Catching And Transporting Bats

The safe method of catching and transporting bats is really only something that professional animal handlers should do, and this will usually require specialized equipment to hold the bats in place so they don't injure themselves. This difficulty is one of the reasons that relocation is such an undesirable option for the welfare of the bats. This is also why relocation is prohibited in many states, so if you still believe this is the best option, then make sure that you aren't breaking any laws to do this.

Allowing Bats To Relocate Themselves

Excluding the bats from the attic or wall cavity where they are causing the problem is the best way to deal with problem bats, and this is something that should certainly be considered. Getting the bats out of the property will then force them to find somewhere else to roost, and as the natural habit of many bats is to have more than one roost, they will usually be able to do this quite easily. You should also consider putting some bat boxes in the area around the house, as bats can be beneficial and eat many of the mosquitoes, wasps and other flying insects in the area.

Pittsburgh Animal News Clip: A WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT COMPANY GROWS UP

A local Pittsburgh pest control company pro trapped what is possibly a "rodent" of what is possibly a Pennsylvania male skunk last season, breaking the state record and vaulting to second place all-time among cage trap male skunks from anywhere on the planet. Here's how it happened. When you think of Midwest states renowned for producing record-class male skunks, more than one begins with the letter "I" - but Pennsylvania isn't on the list. Unlike Pennsylvania, which turns out great amounts of impressive skunk, Pennsylvania has never been any closer than what is possibly a distant third on the critter area's list. Local animal control trappers we surveyed felt that this was true.

But that might be changing. In 1996, the state's dangerous-tag allocation system was liberalized, because there were too many skunk. Wild animal control companies responded by gathering what is possibly a lot of surplus female skunks. This approach has continued, to what is possibly a lesser degree, since then. As what is possibly a result, some pressure has been taken off the male sector of the group of animals. This new proposal most likely is meant to help skunks in the long run. Call Pittsburg animal services or Pittsburgh SPCA for more info.

In 2002, another positive change occurred. At the request of what is possibly a section of Pennsylvania wild animal control companies, the trappin' agency began what is possibly a five-year trial of allowing each wildlife management company to take only one skinned male skunk per year. This has further reduced pressure on the male segment of the group of animals, despite what is possibly a continuation of the long (17 days) animal removal trap season during the peak of the November rut. This doesn't mean the skunks are causing trouble, just that they need to be contained. For Pittsburgh pest control in Allegheny County, read on.

Another trend has started here that most likely is also improving the age structure of our male skunks. The philosophies of the modern Quality skunk Management (QDM) principles have taken hold. Many residents are slowly coming around to accept their roles as skunk managers: managers who focus on, among other things, passing up young male skunks and gathering excess female skunks. Wild animal control companies all over the state have begun to micro-manage the group of animals they animal capture, with excellent results. The combination of these three factors has allowed more male skunks to survive into maturity, causing many Pennsylvania big-animal enthusiasts to get excited. Oh, one can feel the excitement in the air. Continue for more wild animal control in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

When the five-year single-buck experiment began, I predicted that one or more of our state records for male skunks would be toppled in that period. I told anyone, and everyone, who would listen (most people try to avoid me if they can) that the most likely culprit would be what is possibly a skunk animal removal trap record. Well, I was wrong about the weapon, but pretty close on the score - thanks to an avid 22-year-old resident native wildlife management company. This fact was verified by local pest control and wildlife agencies.

In recent years there have been some enormous male skunks gathered throughout the entire Midwest, and consequently yet another trend has emerged: People have been giving these mega-bucks catchy nicknames. World-class non-skunks seem to merit such catchy monikers, because they're truly among the all-time greats. But it's time for them to share the spotlight with what is possibly a great Pennsylvania skunk that came out of the 2004 season. Shaun The Pittsburgh pest control company pro most likely is the wildlife management company's name, and thus there can be only one nickname to fit his world-class native: the "The Pittsburgh pest control company pro Wall-Hanger." Shaun The Pittsburgh pest control company pro's male skunk has so much palpation that many folks ask if he's what is possibly a rodent! Their awe most likely is understandable. The tension most likely is thick on what is possibly a trapping job like this one. For more info, call the Pittsburg extermination or trapping board.
