Gainesville Wildlife Removal

Are You Waking Up To The Pitter Patter of Little Feet? Squirrel Control?
By Robb Russell, Gainesville, Florida

Homes here in Florida are now constructed to withstand a hurricane but unfortunately few if any are built to keep,rats, mice, birds, bats, raccoons, opossums, squirrels and other critters or unwanted wildlife pests out of your home.

It is very common though few want to admit it that these pests or wild animals may and often do enter homes. Some of threse can be prevented by simply being proactive in the maintenance of your home.

Trees and branches are a big reason and anytime a branch or tree allows access to your soffits or roof it eventually leads to unwanted animal in your home. Please keep them trimmed far away from your home.

If you have soffit or fascia damaged or missing it needs to be repaired before the animals arrive. They do and will arrive if left unattended long enough. Some of the critters crawl in other like birds and flying squirrels simply fly in and gain access.

For those of you who erect privacy fences that abut next to your home these fences also also allow squirrels, rats, opossum and raccoons access into your home. During a recent raccoon problem inspection the reason was you guessed it a privacy fence. A young mother looking for safety for her soon to be arriving den of raccoon kits chose to walk the privacy fence , punch out the soffit and gained simple access to the home. Until I arrived and set traps the occupants listened to the young mother leave and access their home every time.

Most homes have vent covers that have screening that eventually rust out or was never welded in properly in the first place. rats, and squirrels find these access points and quickly make safe refuge of your attic free of predators and make a den and start raising their young in your home. many times once they claim an attic they never leave and eventually will chew up expensive wiring and can cause house fires if left to remain.

I offer thorough inspections, and find small nooks and crannies lefct by the intial builders of yoru homes and something as small as a 3/8 inch access point can lead to thousands of dollars of repairs or cleanup after a home is soiled by bats or birds.

Any animal entering your home can cause disease rt your family or pests. Disease like histoplasmosis are caused by a fungus that when the fecal material dries and eventually becomes airborne and once it enters thelungs can cause flu like symptoms for several months or even death. Most of us first about histoplasmosis after simple cures for the flu fail and visit the local health professional for a cure. The problem is few expect birds,bats or animals to be the culprit in your home and are often misdiagnosed.
