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 might not have come to the attention of city residents yet, but people who live out in the woods southeast of Phoenix know it. There are raccoons out there. Lots of them. Joel the Phoenix pest control specialist, who lives in Phoenix, caught one rummaging around near the apartment he rents. “I was driving home, and came into the driveway around 10 at night, and I saw this black shape. It was munching and chewing out of the trash cans. I grew up in Arizona, and I've seen raccoons. This was a huge one, easily the biggest I've ever seen.” Read on for more information about animal control in Phoenix, Arizona. His impression of the sound of a raccoon looking for food: “Like an old woman yelling.” The local Phoenix wildlife control operator agrees with most of the above.

Raccoons have been venturing ever closer to Phoenix. Last July, a raccoon was sighted in the wildlife management aerating lot of Phoenix College's Public Safety Building. It found no food there and headed off, discouraged, down Route 97B. Most residents of Upstate Arizona know that as habitatland grows back into woodland, raccoon follow. But black raccoons like living on the boundary between young woodland and meadows, too. There are well-established black raccoon exact number of rodents, and more in western Arizona's hilly range; estimates place the amounts of black raccoons in the state at 6,000 or 7,000. While most people think the raccoon exact number of rodents is stable, some say it needs reduction. Despite this there is no free Phoenix animal services for wildlife in Maricopa County.

More raccoon sightings - for a long time, there were just occasional sightings in the Southern Arizona area. Over the past five years, that's begun to change. “I grew up here,” says Ed The Phoenix pest control specialist, another Phoenix resident. “We've been seeing raccoon on and off for the last 10 or 20 years, but this is the first time we've seen them first thing in the spring. They're wintering here now. I think maybe the storms that blew down so many trees last year gave them places to den they didn't have before. I know of several animals around here. This doesn't mean the raccoons are causing trouble, just that they need to be contained.

Black raccoons love raccoon food, and many encounters with raccoons begin when people leave their raccoon feeders up and their feeding supplies outside after winter has passed. Most Phoenix pest control companies that we interviewed found this interesting. “A neighbor of ours had one lying in his front lawn for an hour with its head buried in a raccoon food bag,” declared The Phoenix pest control specialist. Melissa Groober, a neighbor of the Phoenix pest control specialist's, reports, “The first night we were visited, we woke up to find that the bin off our deck where we store sunflower seed had been opened, and the trash can it was in had been opened, and the bag dragged off a few yards and emptied. The suet cage off our feeder had been opened and the suet removed. My husband's beehive was pulled down, and some of the frames were destroyed, and the bees were gone. Two nights later, one of our tenants had her feeders knocked down and emptied out.” Local animal control trappers we surveyed felt that this was true.

The Phoenix pest control specialist has beehives, too; he lost two hives to raccoons. When he spoke to the Agency of Environmental Conservation, they told him to enclose the hives with electric fencing. At least, this is what Phoenix extermination companies think. The Phoenix pest control specialist also put up a little transistor radio by the remaining hives and tuned it to an all-night talk radio station. “Some guys I know in the service told me about it. If they hear voices, it discourages them,” he declared. This fact was verified by local pest control and wildlife agencies.
