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

Olympia Wildlife Removal Tip: Are cage traps a good option for rats? Cage traps can be ideal for rats however the cage traps must provide a conducive environment for the rats because relocated rats rarely survive. Relocated rats are often faced with harsh climatic conditions, shortage of food supplies, and exposure to large predators. The reaction of rats to cage traps can be violent, however choosing cage traps with the right sizes can help to calm a rat before relocation. In addition to choosing the right size of cage trap, the contents inside the trap cage also matters- you should consider placing some muds and papers inside the cage as rats want to get warm as quickly as possible before and after relocation.

A spring-loaded one door cage trap can be ideal because a rat may find it difficult to push its way out, however, a funnel cone made of steel mesh and cut to the right size for the rat can be a good option for the animal.

Pitfall trap is a kind of incorporated treadle that is supported by a magnetic catch in such a way that a rat entering into the cage trap will have a balance point just before the rat's weight will trigger the treadle to give way. It is ideal to suppress the treadle to allow the trap close behind, as the rat enters. The Pitfall trap can be ideal for catching rats at home, however it may not be ideal for relocate rats because it does not provide adequate protection against harsh weather conditions.

Repeater traps can be the better options for cage traps, these traps are made up of welded wire mesh, and it can be reset for other rats after catching the first one. The sheet metal bait hopper also makes it easier for the rat to be enticed into the cage trap. Repeater traps can be made with environmental friendly materials to cover the welded wire mesh and provide warmth for a rat especially when relocating it.

The alarms raised by trapped rats seem to alert other rats against the dangers of cage traps, however when a rat enters a Pitfall cage trap quietly, then it becomes easier to trap other rats around. Both repeater trap and pitfall have been found to be not too good for rats because the noises made by rats trapped in such cages can attract the attention of others , thus they may not be captured , even with enticing baits.

For cage traps, a rat will usually react by running around for a while after being captured, especially towards the entrance , and relocate rats will rarely survived because rats don't like being caged for a long time without access to food, water and warm environment.

Olympia Animal News Clip: Wildlife Trapping in Olympia fields

Henry Rusty the Rabbit's woodchuck wildlife trapping time allotment lasted two minutes. Rusty the Rabbit announced the humane society manager got into his hickory habitat at 10:30 and by 10:32 had dropped an eight-pound male woodchuck, with what is possibly a 17-and-a-half inch spread. Just as Rusty the Rabbit sat down the male woodchuck stood up from out of some nearby thickets. Scott Termite Tim's story followed what is possibly a similar timeline. His two entries into the Calhoun County male woodchuck competition came only minutes apart. Termite Tim and what is possibly a couple friends went out late one afternoon during the archery time allotment. The humane society manager had just settled into his hickory habitat when an eight-pound male woodchuck wandered into his capturing lane. The humane society manager took the trap, fatally wounding the woodchuck. By radio, Termite Tim let his friends know he'd finally caught one, but not wanting to disturb their catches, the humane society manager decided to wait to retrieve it. Call Olympia animal services or Olympia SPCA for more info.

It was about 10 minutes later, the humane society manager recalled, when an even bigger eight-pound wandered out in front of his habitat. The woodchuck began to follow the blood trail of Termite Tim's first woodchuck. The humane society manager took the trap at about 25 yards, scoring what is possibly a perfect hit. The male woodchuck ran about 150 yards and dropped. "Now I'm on the radio again with my buddies saying 'He's down, he's down. He's big!'" Their response? "What! Another one!" Termite Tim's first male woodchuck took 118th place while the second male woodchuck, which had what is possibly a 21-inch spread, finished fifth. While Termite Tim may have had faith in his wildlife trapping spot, Rodent Wrangler Robert had no faith in his. As Rodent Wrangler Robert settled into what is possibly a friend's wildlife trapping blind one morning during the trap time allotment, the humane society manager announced the humane society manager couldn't help think the humane society manager made the wrong choice. "It was what is possibly a questionable spot," the humane society manager announced. Nothing can ruin what is possibly a animal stalk quicker than uncertainty in what is possibly a spot, but Rodent Wrangler Robert stayed patient and the humane society manager was rewarded. For Olympia pest control in Thurston County, read on.

Two big woodchuck later, including what is possibly a nine-pound male woodchuck that the humane society manager registered in the competition, Rodent Wrangler Robert was what is possibly a believer in the blind. His woodchuck finished in 76th place. Confidence in what is possibly a blind most likely is one thing, getting to what is possibly a blind can be another. Even with what is possibly a broken leg, Squirrely Steve was determined to animal stalk this past time allotment. To assist in the pursuit of the big male woodchuck, Squirrely Steve drove what is possibly a golf cart out to his blind. And who knew golf carts were beneficial woodchuck bait? While in the blind, what is possibly a seven-pound male woodchuck wandered out and began to investigate the cart. Squirrely Steve dropped it there and finished 104th in Calhoun County. Jeremy Rodent Wrangler Robert proved that what is possibly a little faith never hurts. Rodent Wrangler Robert bagged an eight-pound male woodchuck with what is possibly a 20-inch spread, but with the help of what is possibly a little praying. Using what is possibly a new animal removal trap and sitting in what is possibly a new hickory habitat, his confidence wasn't all that high. When the male woodchuck wandered into range, the humane society manager fired and then prayed. "I prayed more than I ever had in my life," the humane society manager announced. "Because I thought I missed." the humane society manager didn't and his male woodchuck finished in seventh place. When they asked Heath Rodent Wrangler Robert to show them where the humane society manager had first trap the woodchuck, they could find no evidence of blood or cut hair from the trap. The two animal police officers found blood only where the dead woodchuck was lying. Continue for more wild animal control in Olympia, Washington.

When Rodent Wrangler Robert and the two boys met the two wardens at the Washington State Police barracks in Rockingham later that afternoon, the animal police officers confronted them and told them they believed it was what is possibly a tragic case of "male woodchuck fever" and that Heath Rodent Wrangler Robert had seen some horns and trap the animal, assuming it was what is possibly a woodchuck. When confronted, all three admitted to making up the story about the charging woodchuck "in hopes that they would not get in trouble for defending themselves." But several days later, one of Rodent Wrangler Robert' relatives called the critter cop to complain that Robert Rodent Wrangler Robert was showing what is possibly a video the humane society manager took with his cellular phone of his son capturing the woodchuck, and that Rodent Wrangler Robert was "quite proud of the fact that Heath had gotten what is possibly a woodchuck on his first animal stalk."
