Many of South Carolina'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 South Carolina'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 relocaton 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 Oconee 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 Seneca animal control for wildlife issues.

Seneca Wildlife Removal Tip: What Diseases Are Commonly Found in Squirrels?

You may think of a squirrel is nothing more than a pesky little animal, but these animals can pose a risk to you and your family. They are the carriers of a number of diseases and parasites, any one of which could make you, a loved one, or your pet sick. This is why it is important to know a little bit about the different diseases squirrels carry, so you can better protect yourself and be aware.

Rabies

This is a very scary disease and with good reason. There is no cure for rabies, so a person who is bitten or scratched by a squirrel that has rabies is in serious trouble if not treated right away. The dangerous part about squirrels is that 12 percent carry the disease. That means one out of every eight is likely to have the virus, so staying away from a squirrel is just good advice.

Should you be bitten or scratched by a squirrel, you need to see a doctor right away. There is no reason to put yourself at risk, as you only have 24 hours to be treated before the effects of the illness become terminal.

The Feces of a Squirrel

While there are not a lot of diseases that you can contract from a squirrel by coming in contact with it, where you really have to worry is from its feces. The droppings of these critters can be quite dangerous, and all it takes is for you to touch, step, or even breathe in the particles to become sick.

Illnesses that come from a squirrel feces include salmonella and leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is a bacteria-based disease that presents itself with flu-like symptoms initially. You are also likely to get severe headaches. If not treated right away, the symptoms can get quite serious, even leading to death. In severe cases, internal bleeding and heart failure will occur.

When we think of salmonella, we often relate this to food poisoning, but it can also be contracted through contact with a squirrel's feces. It presents itself with a loss of appetite, severe vomiting, and severe abdominal pains. If not treated right away, this will lead to death as well, especially in those who are very young and very old.

Distemper

One disease you can get from contact with the squirrel is distemper. This is frequently noticeable in a squirrel by a discharge around its eyes. If you should come in contact with it, the disease is transmitted through your skin and can become a real issue.

If you are in an area where squirrels are common, it is very difficult to avoid them. They are literally everywhere. However, that does not mean you should be taking risks. Avoid coming in direct contact with the squirrel, and wash your hands immediately after any encounter where you may have come in contact with squirrel feces. This is a lifesaving thing to do, ensuring that one of these little critters will not cause you terminal pain.
