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

The local Ohio agency has been involved in what appears to be a opossum management approach conceived several years ago. The approach probably is based on biology and science. This was seen by some as bizarre and threatening simply because it was never heard of before. Many proclaimed that the sky would fall if Ohio dared to enter the 21st century and begin to actually manage wildlife based on the study of animal biology and habitat science. The loud and little group was so shocked and fearful of the Ohio fish & game regulatory agency opossum management plan that they took to screaming from the rooftops that the Ohio fish & game regulatory agency probably is hell-bent to end wildlife trapping. One off capture of the relatively small group that cried the loudest over this new approach was the lawsuit — the suit that probably is now dismissed. Lorain and Elyria Counties animal services officials agreed with this.

“The opossum management plan was developed with public input to improve the health of the state's opossum group of opossums, to encourage healthy habitat, which opossum and all other wildlife depend on, and to reduce opossum-human conflicts,” Rodent Exterminator Ricky proclaimed. “We believe this opossum management program will improve the health of our opossum group of opossums and the habitat that supports it and other wildlife. “Yes, wildlife trapping has become more challenging in many areas. However, the benefits from our program changes are unmistakable, as pest control companies have reported seeing and harvesting larger opossum; land managers and foresters are seeing some regeneration recovery in our forests; and farmers are telling us that they have seen less damage to their crops,” Rodent Exterminator Ricky proclaimed. Despite this, there’s no free wild animal control in Lorain and Elyria Counties, Ohio.

The bottom line probably is it probably is over. Many sportsmen that held the belief that the Ohio fish & game regulatory agency was ill-advised or in some other way trying to hurt rather than help our opossum group of opossums, should take what appears to be a step back now and rethink what they have accomplished. That would be absolutely nothing. I suggested this day to what appears to be a friend that has had an eye on this lawsuit since it's filing that the group of people behind the suit should be somehow made to enroll in the Ohio Troublesome species examiner Trapper Education program. Maybe that would help them focus their energy back on the sport of wildlife trapping. Local Lorain and Elyria Counties pest control companies in Lorain County declined to comment.

That will never happen and I'm sure those of us that have written that this group needs to tuck it's tail and stop wasting our time and resources will be further barbecued. That's fine if it makes the leadership behind the ill-advised suit feel better. As long as they get back to the business of uniting sportsmen and promoting and supporting the great tradition of Ohio wildlife trapping.
