Delving into Our Comprehensive Wildlife Control Process
Our wildlife control service is a systematic process designed to effectively address and resolve your wildlife issues. We don’t just react to problems; we inspect, identify, remove, and prevent future occurrences. Our detailed approach ensures that every step is taken with care and expertise.
Initial Inspection and Assessment
The first critical step in our wildlife control process is a thorough inspection of your property. Our trained technicians will meticulously examine both the interior and exterior of your home or business. This includes assessing common entry points such as rooflines, vents, foundations, and chimneys. We are looking for signs of wildlife activity, including scat, tracks, gnaw marks, and nesting materials. This initial assessment allows us to accurately identify the species involved, understand the extent of the infestation, and pinpoint how the animals are gaining access to your property. A detailed assessment is crucial for developing a targeted and effective removal strategy.
Identifying the Species
Correctly identifying the type of wildlife present is paramount. Different species require different approaches and may be protected by specific regulations. Whether you're dealing with raccoons, squirrels, bats, birds, or other animals, our expertise ensures we use the appropriate methods for their safe and legal removal. We are knowledgeable about the habits and behaviors of various wildlife and utilize this knowledge to implement the most effective removal plan.
Locating Entry and Exit Points
Identifying all potential entry and exit points is vital for preventing future infestations. Wildlife can enter through surprisingly small openings. During our inspection, we carefully note all access points, which may include damaged siding, unscreened vents, cracks in the foundation, or gaps around pipes and wiring. By identifying and addressing these vulnerabilities, we can implement effective exclusion measures to deter wildlife from returning.
Humane Removal and Trapping
Once we have a clear understanding of the situation, we implement our removal and trapping strategy. We prioritize humane methods whenever possible to minimize stress and harm to the animals. This often involves live trapping and relocation to a suitable habitat away from your property. Our traps are regularly monitored to ensure the well-being of captured wildlife.
Safe and Ethical Trapping Techniques
We employ a variety of safe and ethical trapping techniques specifically designed for different animal species. Our traps are chosen based on the size and behavior of the target animal, ensuring they are effective and humane. Our technicians are trained in proper trap placement and handling to maximize capture success while ensuring the safety of the animal and minimizing any discomfort. We adhere to all local and state regulations regarding wildlife trapping and relocation.
Relocation and Release Protocols
After capture, we follow strict relocation and release protocols. Captured wildlife is transported to a suitable, approved location away from residential areas, where they can safely integrate back into their natural environment. Our goal is to minimize the stress on the animal during transport and release them in an area where they have the best chance of survival. We handle all aspects of the relocation process, ensuring it is done responsibly and humanely.
Exclusion and Prevention Measures
Removal is only part of the solution. To ensure long-term wildlife control, we implement exclusion and prevention measures to seal off entry points and make your property less attractive to nuisance animals. This is a critical step in preventing re-infestation.
Sealing Entry Points
We professionally seal all identified entry points using durable and wildlife-resistant materials. This may involve repairing damaged structures, installing mesh screens over vents, capping chimneys, and sealing cracks and gaps in the foundation and walls. Our goal is to create a physical barrier that prevents wildlife from re-entering your home or business.
Recommendations for Habitat Modification
Beyond sealing entry points, we provide recommendations for habitat modification around your property. This can include trimming back trees and bushes that provide easy access to your roof, securing garbage cans to eliminate food sources, and removing potential nesting materials. By making your property less hospitable to wildlife, you significantly reduce the likelihood of future infestations. Our experts can advise on specific landscaping and maintenance techniques to help deter nuisance animals.
Understanding the Signs You Need Wildlife Control and Common Issues
It's not always obvious that you have a wildlife problem until it has become quite significant. Recognizing the early signs can save you a lot of trouble and expense down the line. Nuisance wildlife can cause a variety of problems for homeowners and businesses in Redlands. Understanding the common issues and the signs that indicate a problem are the first steps toward finding a solution. Our expertise in wildlife control in Redlands, CA, allows us to effectively deal with a wide range of issues involving local wildlife.
Hearing Unusual Sounds
Perhaps one of the most common indicators of a wildlife issue is hearing strange noises within your walls, attic, or crawl space. These sounds can vary depending on the animal. You might hear scratching, gnawing, scurrying, chirping, or even vocalizations. Squirrels often make scratching noises as they move around the attic, while raccoons might create louder thumping sounds. Bats produce high-pitched chirps. These sounds are a strong indication that an animal has taken up residence in your home or business and requires professional wildlife control. Ignoring these sounds can lead to extensive damage as the animals build nests, store food, and potentially chew on electrical wiring or plumbing. Our technicians are trained to identify the type of animal based on the sounds you describe.
Visible Damage to Property
Wildlife can cause significant and costly damage to your property. This damage can manifest in various ways, including chewed wires, damaged insulation, torn ductwork, gnawed wood, and structural damage. Raccoons can tear off shingles or fascia to gain access to attics. Squirrels are notorious for chewing on electrical wiring, which can create fire hazards. Birds may build nests in vents, blocking airflow and creating a fire risk. Opossums can damage foundations or porches. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial, and it often requires the expertise of a wildlife control professional to not only fix the damage but also prevent future occurrences. Our comprehensive service includes identifying and documenting all areas of damage caused by wildlife.
Unpleasant Odors
The presence of wildlife often comes with unpleasant odors. These smells can be due to urine, feces, nesting materials, or even the decomposition of an animal that has died within your walls or attic. Rodents and bats are particularly known for leaving behind significant amounts of waste that create strong, lingering odors. These odors are not only off-putting but can also attract other pests and pose health risks. Professional wildlife control involves not only removing the animals but also cleaning and sanitizing contaminated areas to eliminate odors and reduce the risk of disease transmission. We utilize specialized cleaning agents to effectively neutralize these odors and restore the freshness of your space. Our residential pest control and commercial pest control services can address a wide range of related issues.
Discovery of Animal Droppings
Finding animal droppings is a clear indication of a wildlife presence. The appearance of droppings can help identify the type of animal. For example, mouse droppings are small and pellet-like, while raccoon droppings are larger and often contain undigested food. Animal feces can contain harmful bacteria and pathogens, posing health risks to humans and pets. Proper cleanup and disinfection of areas contaminated with droppings are essential. Our wildlife control service includes the safe removal and disposal of animal waste and the sanitization of affected areas. It's important to handle animal droppings with caution and avoid direct contact.
Signs of Nests or Burrows
Wildlife often build nests or burrows as a place to live, raise their young, and store food. Finding nesting materials in your attic, crawl space, or even within walls is a strong sign of an infestation. Squirrels and birds may build nests in attics or chimneys, while rodents might create nests in hidden areas. Animals like gophers or groundhogs might create burrows in your yard. These nests and burrows can cause structural damage and further attract other pests. Identifying and removing these nests is a crucial part of the wildlife control process. We are experienced in safely removing nests and can provide recommendations for preventing future nesting activity. Our rodent control services are particularly relevant here.
Unexplained Damage to Gardens or Lawns
Wildlife can cause significant damage to your landscaping. This can include overturned trash cans, damaged plants, dug-up lawns, and eaten vegetables. Raccoons may raid garbage cans for food, while deer and rabbits can decimate gardens. Gophers and moles create tunnels that can damage lawns and plant roots. If you notice unexplained damage to your garden or lawn, it's possible that wildlife is the culprit. Identifying the type of animal responsible is the first step in implementing effective control measures. Our team can help identify the animal causing the damage and implement strategies to deter them from your property. We serve the entire Redlands area, including Loma Linda, San Bernardino, and Highland. We understand the unique challenges of wildlife control in the Inland Empire region of California, including areas like Mentone and Yucaipa.
Seeing the Animals Themselves
While some wildlife is nocturnal and rarely seen, you might occasionally spot them on your property during the day or night. Seeing raccoons rummaging through your trash at night, squirrels running across your roof, or birds nesting in your eaves are all clear signs of a wildlife problem. If you see wildlife frequently on your property, especially in or around your home or business, it's a strong indication that you need professional wildlife control. It's important to avoid interacting with wildlife, as they can carry diseases or become aggressive if cornered. Our professionals are trained to safely and efficiently handle wildlife encounters.
Increased Insect or Pest Activity
The presence of some wildlife can also lead to an increase in other pests. For example, nesting birds or rodents can bring in mites, fleas, or ticks. Wildlife droppings can attract flies and other insects. If you notice an increase in ant activity, spider infestations, or other pest problems, it could be a secondary issue stemming from a wildlife problem. Addressing the root cause – the wildlife infestation – is essential for effectively controlling secondary pest problems. Our comprehensive pest control services can help address both wildlife and related insect issues. We handle everything from bed bug extermination to cockroach control.
