Many of Virginia'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 Virginia'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 Henrico 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 Richmond animal control for wildlife issues.

Richmond Wildlife Removal Tip: What Diseases Do Squirrels Carry?

There are many reasons why people should be careful when they are dealing with wild animals, and like many other species squirrels can deliver a nasty bite or a scratch when they are threatened or confronted. As rodents, squirrels naturally have strong jaws and sharp teeth that mean that they can deliver a painful bite, but it is important if you are bitten to clean the wound quickly and then to speak with your doctor. A wide range of diseases can be transmitted by squirrels, and these are four of the most important to be aware of.

Leptospirosis

This is a condition that is usually found in the feces and urine of squirrels, and is a zoonotic disease which is also transmitted by many other wild animals. The condition will cause flu like symptoms among those who have relatively mild symptoms, while in more serious conditions it can cause jaundice, meningitis and respiratory problems, with a small number of cases having fatal consequences.

Plague

Many people will assume that plague is a disease confined to history, but there are a small number of squirrels that do carry the condition, which can be fatal when it is contracted in its most serious form. It is important that you avoid any contact with the fleas and ticks found on squirrels too, as these can also transmit the condition, which is most common in the squirrel population in California. Antibiotic treatments have meant that survival rates are now much better than they used to be.

Tularemia

This is a disease that can be transmitted in several different ways, including by bite and scratch or by exposure to squirrel feces and urine. This will usually lead to relatively mild symptoms including signs of sepsis, lethargy and fever, but in rare cases it can spread to the organs and cause significant damage to the lungs, liver and spleen.

Salmonella

Salmonella is a disease that is well known around the world, and is one of the biggest causes of sickness and diarrhea around the world, although like many diseases if it affects those with weakened immune systems it can be more serious. This is usually contracted by those who have come into direct contact with the urine or feces of the squirrels, and while it will make people uncomfortable for some time, most people will heal naturally without having to refer to a doctor.
