Squirrel Removal And Squirrel Trapping Charlotte North Carolina
Squirrels are creatures we enjoy watching eating an acorn, climbing a tree, or scampering around the neighborhood. When we hear one chewing in our attics, we totally freak out. New Hampshire squirrels must chew to file their teeth down. If they don't chew, their teeth grow into their jaw and they cannot eat anymore. To hear this in an attic in Charlotte is horrible, our minds over imagine its chewing its way directly to us, as if were his intended victim. Well we aren't
and will never be. Squirrels will only stand up to us when they are protecting their young. Squirrels will take advantage of our hospitality, when we leave our house with and area they can enter, when its cold they will. There they will stay until removed. Maybe in the process they will have babies. They have no grudge towards you, they are just trying to stay warm. We Have No Problem Removing Squirrels in Charlotte And Making Your House Squirrel Proof. Squirrels come in
many different species, In the North East we have the gray squirrel, red
squirrel, flying squirrel and the fox squirrel.

trapping or exclusion. We have the best warrantees in the industry when it
comes to flying squirrels no other company can beat us on quality and
longevity. We like to answer questions during inspections so you know exactly
what is happening and why.
Raccoons In Attic & Chimneys Mecklenburg County North Carolina
Raccoons enter your attic via, attic fans, attic vents, rotten roof edges and holes in the soffet and facia (Roof Overhang). A raccoon on average needs 25 square inches to penetrate your attic. This is a dimension of 5 inches x 5 inches. If you suspect raccoons in the attic, listen to the way it walks. Most raccoons in Charlotte lumber across the attic, Squirrels run fast, and mice basically stay in the same area and make scratching noises. North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission usually mandates that these animals Be humanely euthanized, this is why habitat modification is most important. Raccoons in Charlotte usually give birth April 1 of each year, and in august for a late litter. Depending how north or south you live depends on the exact timing of the birthing season. Never attempt to remove raccoons at these times of the year as you might strand babies inside and mother outside, the best that can happen is mother
raccoon will rip your shingles from your roof attempting to get to her babies. Never set traps at these times either. LEAVE IT UP TO A PROFESSIONAL Remember North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission laws require killing a Raccoon if you trap and posses him. Raccoons cause thousands of dollars in damage to homes
and structures every year. Here is a list of common signs that you have a
raccoon problem; insulation hanging from your soffit, gable vent has the
louvers missing, paw prints on your down spout, trash cans tipped over, soffit
or facia missing, noises in your attic, roof vents torn off, holes in your roof
or noises in your chimney. We specialize in raccoon removal, raccoon trapping,

Charlotte Woodchuck Trapping And Groundhog Control
Groundhogs, whistle pigs, woodchucks are burrowing animals that dig up our yards, eat our gardens, and basically scare most people.

Pervenative fencing around your deck and additional concrete around your steps is key in deterring them from entering. Nothing can disrupt
a household or work environment like the smell of a dead animal. Most of the
time it is something small like a mouse but sometimes it can be much worse,
like a squirrel that has eaten poison set out incorrectly. When an animal has
died in an inappropriate place it must be found, this an be quite exasperating
to say the least. All areas must be checked and slowly the trace of the odor
can be found. Once the carcass has been found it must be accessed. We have many
tools that can be used to minimize any damage. In the past a whole section of
wall would have to be removed. Now the
holes are smaller and neater. Once the carcass is removed the area must be
disinfected and the odor removed. Once
all that is done it is time to find out how and why the animal was where it
was. We can figure this all out, give us a call and let us do all of the
detective work.

Beaver Trapping / Beaver Dam Removal in Charlotte North Carolina
Beavers tear trees apart, not the cheap trees either. Weeping willows and cherry trees are their favorite. in fact, weeping willow branches make great beaver lure. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission regulations.requirel them to be destroyed upon catch. They dam up creeks and flood useful property until they are stopped. Their lodge is only to house their young, so if a lodge
appears on your land, then a family isn't far behind. Charlotte is more populated everyday, more children who love to play in creeks and ponds, make beaver trapping with killing traps a big problem. Killing traps will break the arms of children and break the noses of dogs snooping in the water. The Hancock or Koro style trap is a better solution for catching beavers because it is a visible trap.
Bird & Pigeon Trapping And Removal
We spend a lot of time on bird issues. from birds flying in grocery stores to raptors stuck in your local Wal-Mart store. Some birds require bird netting to remove them and seal them out, while others can be trapped. Starlings like to enter your microwave stove vent and any small gaps in your roofline. Squirrels like to come behind them and steal their shelter and eggs. Birds in a chimney present a special problem if the chimney is metal. the bird doesn't get trapped in
the flue, it gets trapped in the liner. We ferquentally remove birds from grocery stores in Charlotte North Carolina. Removing birds from the liner can require cutting the wall, (to access liner)cutting the metal liner, and then removing the bird. We
get a lot of bird calls from birds in vents, building nests in fire places, or trapped inside buildings not allowing the business to close up shop and turn on security systems due to motion sensors. Removing bird nests from fire places in the summer time is not that big of a deal
but if left unchecked and winter rolls around this could create a fire hazard. We can solve all bird problems from pigeons on roof tops, to starlings and sparrows nesting in vents or soffit connecting lines on the roof.
Mecklenburg County Stray & Feral Cat Removal
Its always nice to get pinned between cat lovers and cat haters. Cat lovers will feed every cat in the neighborhood, usually outside, near a cat haters house or car. The cat hater will want all cats trapped and removed. They poop in his garden, on his step, on his car, spray his bushes, and just generally piss him off. Cats know who he is, and do this on purpose. NOT. Removing stray cats can be the worst job we can get in the middle of. We can't come out on top. Feral
cat colonies
can grow to great numbers and can present big problems such as; feral cats can
harbor diseases such as ectoparasites, unsanitary conditions around homes and
businesses, feral cats become aggressive around pets and children. These are just
some of the reasons we are called upon to trap feral cats.
Charlotte Opossum Trapping
" IT LOOKED AT ME" This is a common reason why people call us about opossums. The opossum is just looking for the dead animals it eats or trash to sustain his opossum diet. they are ground and tree dwellers. These animals will get into any nook they can. Normally called a possum the virginia opossum is the olny Charlotte North Carolina marsupial, this like the kangaroo carries its young in a pouch. The woolly pouch on the female’s abdomen is used for
carrying and
nourishing her newborn young. The skull of the opossum belies its
ancient lineage because it contains 50 teeth. They will eat garbage and many Charlotte North Carolina dead animals on the roads. They are a cleaning agent for STATE! What happens is that when they are
attacked they are so stupid that they go into shock. This will actually save an
opossums life many times throughout their life. Opossums wil den up with skunks

Rodent Rat Mouse Removal in Charlotte North Carolina
Mouse removal is simply finding the exterior entrances, sealing them out, and trapping the remaining mice. In certain instances we install valves to allow mice or rats to exit, then seal them out. In Charlotte most mouse and rat removal situations require trapping, live or killing traps. Poision in Charlotte North Carolina is a useful tool to remove these rodents,although NEVER put poison inside the house. Always install poison outside, in bait stations, anchored
to the ground. Rodents
which include both rats and mice can find their way into homes and structures through very small hole and one inside can multiply at an alarming rate. A female can have between 5-10 litters per year each litter averaging 6-8 young. So a serious infestation can happen seemingly overnight. Once they have entered home or structure the only way to fix the problem is to seal all entry and possible entry points which keeps all rodents out but traps all current population inside. Then an aggressive trapping and extermination
process should begin to remove all remaining rodents from inside the structure. Once these two steps have been taken, the problem is solved. This is the reason pest control companies do not like us. We fix the problem and there is no quarterly services needed.
Fox / Coyote Trapping
The most difficult trapping is the fox or coyote. Our operators have special traps in wich these animals can be caught live. Habitat modification such as, trash can lids, deck fencing, and additional concrete around front purches, can be proven successful in deterring these animals. Many times foxes around Charlotte North Carolina eat small birds and cats where coyotes will remove and eat small dogs, cats, squirels, rabbits ECT.
Charlotte North Carolina Flying Squirrel Proofing
Really a job for the experienced, as most pest companys around Charlotte North Carolina confuse flying squirrels for mice. Flying squirrels eat mice and seeds. Flying squirrels will be most active between 10 pm and 4 am. They're guaranteed to drive the homeowner crazy. Recentally I did a flyer job at a home in Charlotte North Carolina where a homeowner had a company estimate the job at $2800.00. They said the attic had mice and squirrels. I told them
upon my arrival that it was probably flyers amd that mice weren't the issue. I charged them $495.00 to get rid of the flying squirrels, did the job, and their attic has been noise free since. They had no mice, and therefore had a smaller bill. Most results are'nt the same but in this case i was able to help.

Helpful Tips in Charlotte In North Carolina
The biggest trick to solving an animal problem in a building is finding the entry hole, this may not always be as easy as it seems. I have had easy jobs and jobs where it had taken me hours and hours just to find out where the animals was getting in. On one
house I had a gray squirrel getting in and couldn't figure out how he was getting in. I spent hours until I found a cedar shake attached by one nail that moved over when the squirrel came and went. It pushed over and slid back perfectly so you couldn't tell it was able to be moved. behind the shake was a hole that was used to blow in insulaton in the walls.
Sometimes you have to really look for the entry hole, you cant solve the problem without finding it. You can put traps all over and take everything but if you dot trap the right one and seal it then they are going to keep coming back and this isn't fair to the customer. I asked the home owner if he would be interested in sealing
up around the deck with 14 gauge wire too prevent anymore animal's to get under his deck the price I provided him was very cost efficient for his budget I returned too his home and installed fencing around his deck and also gave him a 1 year warranty which I do with all my jobs I always back up all my work.
U.S. Animal Control provides customers with quality work and get the job done right the first time.
