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.

We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:

• Humane wildlife trapping and relocaton services
• 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 Westmoreland 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 Latrobe animal control for wildlife issues.

Latrobe Wildlife Removal Tip:

How Do I Remove a Raccoon Trapped in the Dumpster?

With the increasing activity of the raccoon in the urban jungle, it is no longer surprising to find a wandering raccoon on your property, especially in the winter and spring seasons. They will particularly be active in spring or during the mating season. They will be searching for a new site to establish as their den and hunt for food. Most often, they will end up in different sorts of troubles at some point. They will be very persistent when looking for food; it will be a common occurrence to encounter a raccoon trapped in our dumpster.

How Can I Remove the Raccoon Safely from the Dumpster?

When you find yourself in this situation, always remember that a cornered raccoon will act aggressively. They will not think twice to attack you and you may be fortunate if you only end up with a couple of scratches. Do not fall for the adorable and cute appearance of the raccoon. Always wear the proper gears to remain safe from their attack. Before using other methods, the first thing you want to try is to help them get out of the dumpster using simple methods. For instance, you can place a plank inside the dumpster that they can use as a bridge and get out. Logs, branches, and boxed that are positioned in a slanted way can also be very effective. Keep a good distance on the dumpster and give the creature enough space to escape. If it does not work, it would be best to let the raccoon removal specialists handle the situation.

How Can I Prevent the Raccoons from Raiding the Dumpster?

You won't have to deal with this situation if you have a proper waste management system. Raccoons are curious and dexterous animals; they are opportunistic feeders. If you keep your dumpster open, then there is no way that they will miss that opportunity. Raccoons prefer to forage in dark areas. Consider placing your dumpster close to a light source to deter them. Placing your perishable items in a double bag will help you avoid attracting the attention of the raccoon since you can prevent the scent from spilling. Also, make sure that you will clean it periodically to remove the lingering residue and odor.

How Can a Professional Wildlife Remover Help Me?

Call the help of the wildlife specialist the moment you notice a raccoon wandering around your property. They can use humane strategies that will get the raccoon out of your house immediately and minimize the possible damages. They can also help you avoid the dire consequences related to raccoon infestation. Also, you will never have to deal with this animal getting trapped in your dumpster. With their help, they can implement preventive measures that will provide you a lasting effect. They will look for all possible entry points and seal them. They can identify the vulnerable areas of your house and provide the right measures to ensure that it will not be damaged by the raccoon.
