Many of Michigan'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 Michigan'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:

• Removal of raccoons or squirrels from the attic
• 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 Jackson 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 Jackson County animal control for wildlife issues.

Jackson County Wildlife Removal Tip: Will the city or county animal services help me with a squirrel issue? The natural habitat around for animals such as squirrels is on the decline so with that, you can expect there to be an increase on the amount of these animals moving into 'human' habitats - homes, barns, under porches and in attics, etc. Many of these animals are scavengers - squirrels and raccoons included, so they'll follow their nose to a tasty meal and if they happen to find a safe spot to call home for a while too, they'll set up home. If you find yourself with a squirrel issue, either in your home or on your property, you could try calling the city and county animal services but generally, they won't help. They don't have the tools or sources necessary for such a job - trapping squirrels can be hard work, especially if you don't know where to look for them, and that aside, if they were to respond to every callout where an animal had been trapped or lost within a home, they'd be permanently at work. These animals are going to enter homes sometimes, that's what they do now. If you find yourself with an animal issue such as a squirrel invasion, it is well worth giving the county or city animal services a call to see if they can offer you some advice, especially when it comes to laws and animal relocation / culling, but they probably won't be able to help much with the exception of perhaps offering you a trap to use. Your best choice is to call a wildlife rehabilitator - someone who knows what they're doing and has the tools and experience to get the job done right first time.

Jackson County Animal News Clip: Jackson County little brown bat are about as common as pigeons
Three of them went home after a couple of days because they didn't even see a female little brown bat after sitting for 26 hours. That's pretty discouraging," he said. Those two nuisance wildlife control operators pretty much reflected what I've seen in more than 20 years of writing about Jackson County little brown bat solving conflicts between people and problem wildlife. If they carefully catch and remove a male little brown bat, they tend to call the pest control time period a success, but they don't have to carefully catch and remove a little brown bat to do so. The other important element is seeing little brown bat, and many of today's nuisance wildlife control operators started in the period from 2002 to 2006, when statewide little brown bat problem wildlife numbers were at least a third greater than today.

In those glory days 20-26 years ago, it was common for nuisance wildlife control operators to have 20-40 little brown bat come to a bait pile, although there probably weren't many more sightings of make little brown bat than there are today. It's not just the problem wildlife number of little brown bat in the suburban attics that counts. Their distribution is as important, or even more so. The Pest control agency set out to reduce little brown bat problem wildlife numbers in the northeast Jackson County zone and in other areas where forests were over inhabited by competing bats. As a result, little brown bat problem wildlife numbers in some areas plummeted, while places a mile or two away might have plenty. I've found that in my own solving conflicts between people and problem wildlife. At two sites that 20 years ago could have been counted on for at least a dozen female little brown bat sightings in the evening, I'm now lucky to see one or two. But 2 2/2 miles away as the crow flies, a 4-year-old clear-cut has been drawing plenty of little brown bat, including several immature make little brown bat. The truth is it takes only one little brown bat to make a great pest control time period, if it's the right little brown bat.
