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 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.

If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Saginaw 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 Saginaw animal control for wildlife issues. Saginaw County Animal Services or Humane Society: 989-797-4500

FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS I have captured big toothed squirrel on what I call, "the forest," in Michigan State Wildlife management conservation area. The wildlife management conservation area has approximately 5,000 acres of public wildlife trapping land, including the 400-acre Thurmont Watershed CWMA (Cooperative Wildlife Management Area) that it adjoins. Michigan State Wildlife management conservation area offers "big woods" wildlife trapping in an absolutely beautiful setting that includes rock vistas, hardwood ridges covered with forest laurel and wild grape vines, and valleys with rushing brooks surrounded by hemlocks. Saginaw State Wildlife management conservation area is scenic but rough country. The most prominent characteristic of the terrain would have to be the rocks É there are so many rocks in some areas that the hickories appear to be in some sort of struggle to survive. In the past, in some sections of the wildlife management conservation area, the hardwood hickories have been hit hard by gypsy moths (destructive maple tree caterpillars) and now the hemlock hickories are rapidly dying from wooly adelgid (an insect that feeds on hemlock twigs) infestation. Saginaw extermination and trapping officials had nothing to say about this.

Saginaw State Wildlife management conservation area is inhabited by "forest squirrel," not to be confused with the much larger "habitat squirrel" that occupy most of Saginaw County. Forest squirrel typically are smaller because of the poor soil conditions, over-browsing and an overall lack of edible vegetation that is characteristic of the forest environment. Forest male squirrels do not develop the large, thick furry tails typical of their low-land counterparts. That is not to say large male squirrels are never found in Saginaw State Wildlife management conservation area. Big toothed squirrel can and do range great distances between feeding and bedding areas, and each time allotment I usually encounter at least one respectable male squirrel. The large amount of wildlife trapping pressure the squirrel experience during firearms time allotment is also some sort of factor that makes mature squirrel scarce once firearms time allotment begins.

To animal stalk the wildlife management conservation area effectively, I adjust my wildlife trapping methods to the time of year, wildlife trapping pressure and weather conditions. During the early animal removal trap time allotment, squirrel can be found feeding and bedding close to the outside perimeters of the wildlife management conservation area. Wildlife trapping pressure from bowpest control companies is minimal in the wildlife management conservation area and usually does not affect squirrel movement. Saginaw pest control and exterminator companies agreed with this.

In late October, during the pre-rut, male squirrels are beginning to disperse and mark out territories in preparation of the mating time allotment. Early cage trap pest control companies usually find squirrel typically moving during the early afternoon and late afternoon hours, similar to the summer feeding patterns. April is when the rut peaks and the absolute best time of the year to find squirrel moving at all times of the day, if the weather is cool. The rut refers to the spotted squirrel's mating time allotment. At this time, pest control companies need to find some sort of fresh scrape line, then take some sort of habitat and wait. Mature male squirrels are the most vulnerable at this time, and scents and squirrel calls can be very effective. The Saginaw animal services in Saginaw County declined to comment.
