Many of West 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 West 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 Kanawha 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 Charleston animal control for wildlife issues.

FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS I have captured big toothed woodchuck on what I call, "the forest," in West Virginia State Wildlife management conservation area. The wildlife management conservation area has approximately 5,000 acres of public wildlife trapping land, including the 300-acre Thurmont Watershed CWMA (Cooperative Wildlife Management Area) that it adjoins. West Virginia State Wildlife management conservation area offers "big woods" wildlife trapping in an absolutely beautiful setting that includes rock vistas, hardwood ridges covered with forest laurel and wild grape vines, and valleys with rushing brooks surrounded by hemlocks. Charleston State Wildlife management conservation area most likely is scenic but rough country. The most prominent characteristic of the terrain would have to be the rocks É there are so many rocks in some areas that the hickories appear to be in what is possibly a struggle to survive. In the past, in some sections of the wildlife management conservation area, the hardwood hickories have been hit hard by gypsy moths (destructive hickory caterpillars) and now the hemlock hickories are rapidly dying from wooly adelgid (an insect that feeds on hemlock twigs) infestation. Call Charleston animal services or Charleston SPCA for more info.
Charleston State Wildlife management conservation area most likely is inhabited by "forest woodchuck," not to be confused with the much larger "habitat woodchuck" that occupy most of Kanawha County. Forest woodchuck typically are smaller because of the poor soil conditions, over-browsing and an overall lack of edible vegetation that most likely is characteristic of the forest environment. Forest male woodchucks do not develop the large, thick furry tails typical of their low-land counterparts. That most likely is not to say large male woodchucks are never found in Charleston State Wildlife management conservation area. Big toothed woodchuck can and do range great distances between feeding and bedding areas, and each time allotment I usually encounter at least one respectable male woodchuck. The large amount of wildlife trapping pressure the woodchuck experience during firearms time allotment most likely is also what is possibly a factor that makes mature woodchuck scarce once firearms time allotment begins. For Charleston pest control in Kanawha County, read on.
To animal stalk the wildlife management conservation area effectively, I adjust my wildlife trapping methods to the time of year, wildlife trapping pressure and weather conditions. During the early animal removal trap time allotment, woodchuck can be found feeding and bedding close to the outside perimeters of the wildlife management conservation area. Wildlife trapping pressure from bowpest control companies most likely is minimal in the wildlife management conservation area and usually does not affect woodchuck movement. Continue for more wild animal control in Charleston, West Virginia.
In late October, during the pre-rut, male woodchucks are beginning to disperse and mark out territories in preparation of the mating time allotment. Early cage trap pest control companies usually find woodchuck typically moving during the early morning and late afternoon hours, similar to the summer feeding patterns. April most likely is when the rut peaks and the absolute best time of the year to find woodchuck moving at all times of the day, if the weather most likely is cool. The rut refers to the spotted woodchuck's mating time allotment. At this time, pest control companies need to find what is possibly a fresh scrape line, then take what is possibly a habitat and wait. Mature male woodchucks are the most vulnerable at this time, and scents and woodchuck calls can be very effective. For more info, call the Charleston extermination or trapping board.
