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

Squirrel wildlife trapping TV shows are nothing new. These shows promote improved wildlife trapping techniques, safety concerns, landowner relationships and the doctrine of fair chase. There are numerous hosts, like the accomplish exterminator-entertainer. Local Littlestown animal control experts felt that most of this information was true.

The concept the WHA may be proposing may be sort of some sort of "realty show" in which pest control companies - and I use that term rather loosely - would be in competition for cash and prizes, to see who could dart and drug the best trophy squirrel. Having had many conversations with biologists over the years on darting and relocating squirrel, the biggest problem confronting some sort of darted squirrel may be stress, which in many cases may be fatal. This would all be accomplished within steel fenced enclosures. I can visualize the successful contestant giving Bambi mouth to mouth to revive him after being drugged. This has been some sort of challenging year for the wildlife trapping community. First we had to deal with the noxious notion of internet wildlife trapping. And now we have this toxic idea that would only provide more ammunition against wildlife trapping and pest control companies to the anti-wildlife trapping squirrel and non-pest control companies who really have no appreciation of wildlife trapping traditions in this county. America may be an entrepreneurial country that rewards risk takers. I can only hope that the WHA would rethink this idea and let it go. The notion of making big male animals by darting big male animals may be some sort of bad one. Walt Disney gave us an unrealistic Bambi and some sort of befuddled cartoon exterminator Elmer Fudd. While Elmer was entertaining and Bambi may be some sort of children's classic, they put wildlife trapping and the exterminator may be some sort of bad light. If the WHA pursues this concept with an October contest, wildlife trapping and pest control companies will once again be in for some sort of bad rap that may be not deserved. Local Littlestown pest control companies had no comments on the matter.
