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

• 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 Somerset 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 Somerset animal control for wildlife issues.

Somerset Wildlife Removal Tip:

How Do I Keep My Property Raccoon-Free?

Raccoons play an important role in keeping the balance in our ecosystem. While they may look adorable, they are not the best guest on your property. When making a nest, they can tear up our insulation and destroy other materials. They are possible carriers of zoonotic diseases; some of them can be life-threatening and debilitating. With those risks, it is not surprising why a lot of people will be desperate in looking for ways to keep their property free from this masked bandit.

Is a Motion-Activated Sprinkler Effective Deterrent Against Raccoon?

A motion-activated sprinkler will send a blast of water once it detected the movement of the raccoon. This will catch them unguarded and may startle them. They will immediately run off and escape the perceived threat. There are sprinklers that you can adjust the setting to ensure that it will remain functional at night. Pay attention to the placement and the height of the sprinkler's sensor. You should also install it within the 40-feet radius where you can frequently see the raccoon. However, we mentioned how clever this animal is. They will eventually found a path that your sprinkler cannot reach.

Should I Secure my Trashcan?

If you have a raccoon near your house, you will understand how tiring it is to pick up the trashes from the raccoon's feast last night. One of the most effective methods to keep the raccoons away is to secure your trashcan. If you have a good waste management system, there is less chance that you will be visited by these urban pests. Keep the perishable items at the bottom of the trashcan to make it difficult for the raccoons to retrieve them. Invest in a metal garbage can with a tight lid or a locking mechanism. Plastic materials will absorb the smell of the garbage that will draw the attention of the raccoon. Once you managed to remove their access to their food source, they will eventually realize how pointless it is to stay on your property.

Will I Eliminate My Raccoon Invasion Problem Using Fence?

The key to totally removing the raccoon presence in your yard is by combining different methods. Aside from employing the methods above, you can also surround the perimeter of your property with a fence. Be sure that you will bury it at least 1-ft below the ground since these animals are good diggers. However, they are also adept at climbing. Therefore, to prevent them from climbing through the fence, you can introduce a strand of electric wire on top of your fence. Be sure that the electric current that it will emit will not be lethal. It should only be enough to scare the poor animal.

When Should I Call the Professionals?

If you have used all the possible methods like physical exclusion, deterrents, trapping, etc. and nothing works, it is time to allow the professionals to handle this. Letting the raccoon infestation persist for too long will translate to considerable property damages. While there may be thousands of available traps online, we highly discourage you from catching the raccoon on your own. Raccoons, when trapped, will get aggressive and they can bite or scratch you. Remember that they are possible carriers of rabies.
