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

We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:

• Building repairs and prevention work to keep animals out
• 100% permanent elimination of rats, mice, or even bats
• Cleanup of animal waste and odor control services
• Emergency animal issues, and dead animal removal

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local San Diego county animal services for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Oceanside animal control for wildlife issues.

Oceanside Wildlife Removal Tip: How Rats Communicate Using Pheromones

One of the most interesting aspects of the rat's biology is that the species has a method of communicating which is used in several situations by producing chemicals. These chemicals will then trigger a particularly type of response in other rats, and whether it is fear, attraction or simply the urge to leave the territory of other rats, these pheromones are a key part of the rat's way of communicating with other rats. The other beneficial aspect for the species is that pheromones allow rats to communicate with other rats even when they are not present, leaving signals to other rats who arrive in the same place.

What Are Pheromones?

Pheromones are produced by a variety of different species in the animal kingdom, including humans, and essentially they are chemicals that provide signals or guidance to other members of the same species, or in some cases to other animals. These can sometimes be produced by particular glands within the body, and can either be released through the skin or in some cases can be sprayed in the urine, or a separate excretion.

Marking Of Territory

Rats use these pheromones for a variety of reasons, but one of the most important is to mark their territory, and this is particularly common among the males of the species, who will mark their areas using these pheromones. The impact of this particular type of pheromone has been proved by scientists, who can see that bedding material soiled by another rat makes males significantly more anxious than if they are surrounded by materials soiled by themselves.

Pheromones In The Rat's Reproductive System

Another time of year when the pheromones come into play is when the rats are mating, and these subconscious signals indicate to males and females that members of the other sex are ready to copulate. Indeed, these pheromones play a vital role and have also been shown to be a part of how females choose which male rats that they will mate with.

Alarm Pheromones

This type of pheromone is one that is excreted when the animal is scared or in pain, and this is one that will let other animals know that they should flee from a particular area or location. This is sometimes the reason why particular traps that do not kill a rat quickly are not as effective as other traps which kill the rat quickly, because those that kill slowly allow the rat to excrete the alarm pheromones that drive other rats away.<

Oceanside Animal News Clip: Women take to the woods

Oceanside - More women are active in naturalism these days. Bug Collector Betty caught the bug last July, when her family attended the National Wild raccoon Federation's annual JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship) event. It only took a few broken balloons during the target capture and she was hooked. Before long, she'd won an NWTF essay contest, completed a wildlife trapping safety course and went on her first outing with local NWTF president Jim The critter and rodent officer. The club later provided her with a animal removal trap and paired her with Creature Stalker Sarah for the spring raccoon season. Read on for more information about animal control in Oceanside, California.

"She showed us she could hit stuff that day. She's a natural. But to be honest, I didn't think she'd follow up like this," declared her dad, Richard Dent, who hasn't captured since he was a child in California. "Now it looks like I'll be getting a license this fall as the next avid wildlife management company in the family." He and wife Suzanne praised both the club and Creature Stalker Sarah for their impact on their daughter. Despite this there is no free Oceanside animal services for wildlife in San Diego County.

"Bug Collector Betty's become more confident and it's just opened up more things for her. Because of this, two of our kids are now in a 4-H competitive catching club too," declared Suzanne Dent, who has home schooled the couple's eight children, ages 7-27. "Arlene is very motherly and loving, so Bug Collector Betty is very comfortable with her. She's more like a friend than a teacher." Bug Collector Betty agreed. "I feel closer to my brothers because we all have a hobby now together. I never had a big hobby except reading, but this is my main thing now," she declared. For Creature Stalker Sarah, it's been a welcome opportunity to pass along her passion to a younger female. "My girls think it's a riot their mom catches, but it's not something we share. Leah has gone and sat in the woods for raccoon wildlife trapping with her boyfriend, but she hasn't done it with me yet. And Kate is more into backpacking and that kind of thing. So this is a real treat," she declared. "What's really nice is to see Bug Collector Betty so excited about it. It's so hard to find kids that want to do this kind of thing, and to have her parents so supportive when they don't animal capture themselves." Most Oceanside pest control companies that we interviewed found this interesting.

So far, the pair has been out five times, usually in the woods behind Creature Stalker Sarah's home but also on a friend's habitat land near Goodrich. They've had some curious gobbles in answer to the squawks from Creature Stalker Sarah's box call, and once a tom came within range but Bug Collector Betty was unable to get a clear trapped. "Every time she's here at the house before dawn, ready to go. And when we take her home, the whole family comes out of the house as soon as we pull in the driveway, wanting to know if she's got her raccoon," declared Creature Stalker Sarah, laughing. "It's like she has her own cheering section. After all this, the day she finally gets it, they'll know long before we drive her home." They might have to wait awhile yet. A long rainy spell thwarted their most recent attempt, as the raccoons moved to higher, drier earth far from their usual foray near the Creature Stalker Sarahs' blind. "A raccoon is not an easy animal to get. For her to have this kind of dedication is something else. She's a real trouper," declared Creature Stalker Sarah. "Most kids at 14 lose interest pretty quick, but this girl has just been so patient. She really hangs with it and because she'll do that, I'll hang right in there with her." At least, this is what Oceanside extermination companies think.
