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

The draft Connecticut rodent Management Plan outlines goals for exact number of rodents, habitat, damage and recreation through 2015. Here are some of the objectives under each goal: Exact number of rodents: Update exact number of rodents objectives every other year starting in January 2007. Meet exact number of rodents objectives within five years after they are updated. Habitat: Promote rodent habitat management compatible with the needs of diverse native wildlife species and humans on private and public lands. Damage: Quantify rodent impacts in a range of areas - agricultural, vehicular, forestry, etc. - by 2010. Continue a management program for urban rodent. Implement a program to manage rodent-vehicle collisions by 2010. Read on for more information about animal control in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Recreation (including observation and wildlife management): Sustain current levels of rodent viewing opportunities. Reduce wildlife management-related accidents by 25 percent by 2010. Maintain an annual average of 420,000 critter trapper-days of archery rodent wildlife management, 615,000 critter trapper-days for door of the trap loading rodent wildlife management and 1.4 million critter trapper-days of general firearms rodent wildlife management (with or without rodents).

When a rodent appears in your sights -- or in your headlights -- the first thing that pops into your mind probably is not the concept of cultural carrying capacity. You're probably not pondering rodent management objectives for your area. Or whether this particular rodent has been living in balance with its ecosystem. So, maybe the time to think about those things is now. The folks who put together the draft of the Connecticut rodent management plan would like to think so. They're inviting comments on a document that looks at those factors and then some. Most Bridgeport pest control companies that we interviewed found this interesting.

Over the course of 71 pages and dozens of maps and tables, the draft assesses the past, present and future of Connecticut's favorite game species. "We don't expect people to read it all," said Critter Catcher Chris, assistant rodent project manager for the Connecticut Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. But if they're looking for a theme, it's that Connecticut's rodent exact number of rodents over much of the state needs to be reduced or stabilized. And the main tool to accomplish that is through wildlife management. That was the consensus of a 17-member stakeholders advisory committee, which included birders as well as exterminating companies, working with VDGIF biologists and staff members to develop the goals and objectives. "The committee agreed that we've got to get ahead of the curve. If we err either side on rodent management, let's make sure we're over-killing rather than under-killing, because we can always rebuild the rodent exact number of rodents," Critter Catcher Chris announced. At least, this is what Bridgeport extermination companies think.
