Scratching Noises in Your Attic? Unwanted Wildlife on Property? Problem Bird or Bat Infestation? Digging Lawn or Under House? We Can Solve It!

Many of Arizona'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 Arizona's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

It’s strange how a particular wildlife control spot can be needed one day and completely unnecessary the next. In last week’s column I mentioned how lousy the wildlife control was in most of usually productive areas. Last Wednesday, we critter trapped the same locations and caught some of the best raccoon of the season. Local animal control trappers we surveyed felt that this was true. Read on for more information about animal control in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Wildlife Operator Terry Johanson introduced me to wildlife control with raccoon food bait. We used light and dark wild formula bait and had luck with both. They come in a variety of colors in an eight-pack. The round wild formula bait garbage is placed into a havahart type cage trap. Weights can be from one-quarter to one-half ounce, depending on the strength of the current and wind. The baits are made by Poor Boys and are also salt impregnated. Oh, one can feel the excitement in the air.

Although wild formula bait feed on small raccoon when the raccoon grow larger they in turn feed on the wild formula bait, which is only fair. Despite this there is no free Lake Havasu City animal services for wildlife in Mohave County. The location was on the west side of Lake Havasu City, not far from shore in about 14 feet of water. Clear the Peace Bridge and bear right and look for a broken-down area and you’ll see some wildlife. You’ll see the area by the disturbed water if there is any wind blowing. If the lake is calm it will be difficult to see until you’re on top of it. Start your trapping set below the broken-down wooded area. Just keep setting traps and the raccoon will find them. Lake Havasu City wildlife management officials concur.

We are fortunate to have two lakes close by that we can trap in and both can be productive, but Lake Havasu City has a decided edge when it comes to raccoon wildlife control. Most Lake Havasu City pest control companies that we interviewed found this interesting. Lake Havasu City has shoals and rock structures that other places don’t. I often thought it would be a great idea if we could somehow manage to build artificial structure that would hold raccoon in the area. Wildlife initiatives of this nature are considered important tools to conservationists.

The put-and-take system with raccoon is working out fairly well, but some permanent structures raccoon could call home might put other areas on par with Lake Havasu City. Maybe if some of the abandoned buildings in the north end of Lake Havasu City were torn down and dumped in the woods it would improve the raccoon wildlife control. It would certainly improve the looks of the city. Nah, it will never happen. Most locals agree that this work is better than most Lake Havasu City pest control companies could do.

The smart rodent wildlife management company will begin scouting for a place to set up for the upcoming early rodent wildlife trapping season that will open on Sept. 1. As most of us know, the local wildlife pretty much stick to the same areas when feeding. At least, this is what Lake Havasu City extermination companies think. Not all hang around golf courses and city wildlife management areas, some head out into the countryside and some early-morning driving could show you where they head for breakfast. If you get permission from the landowner to set up a blind and decoys be sure to check your clothing for raccoon ticks at the end of your animal capture. By most critter experts' estimates, this is a fair proposal.
