Many of Tennessee'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 Tennessee'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:

• 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 Shelby county animal services for assistance.

There is no free Memphis animal control for wildlife issues.

Memphis Wildlife Removal Tip: What Property Modifications Will Keep Down Bat Populations?

Trying to keep bats away from your property is a challenge for many people, especially as bats are increasingly becoming a part of the urban landscape. Changing your property is one way that people can try to keep down the bat population and to make sure that bats do not find a good roosting spot inside an attic, wall cavity or an outbuilding. Here are some useful measures that you can take around your property to help deal with the bat problem.

Sealing The Attic Or Roof Space

This is all about good property maintenance and dealing with any possible risk as soon as possible after you find them. Carry out a thorough examination of the attic or roof space to see if you can spot any holes or damaged vents and also examine the exterior, looking for holes in soffits and other entrance points. These should all be repaired to keep the area clear of bats.

Providing Alternative Accommodation

Installing bat boxes in an area away from your property can help to reduce the chances of the bats actually finding their way into your home. These are cheap and easy to install, and the benefit here is that you will still have the bats in the area to keep the insect population down.

Dealing With Insects In The Area

Insects are one of the main attractions for bats, and reducing the population of insects will make it less attractive for bats to be living in the area. This isn't always easy, as the insects can live in some very difficult to access spots, but dealing with a wasp's nest quickly and making the area less attractive to insects can also help with this problem.

Installing Lights In The Attic

Bats will look for an area that is dark and quiet to choose a roosting spot, so making sure that your attic is in use, and regularly switching lights on in the attic will make it less likely that the bats will settle there. Many people switch on a radio intermittently in the attic, but using the attic regularly is certain to make a bat less likely to enjoy the surroundings.

Regular Maintenance

Looking after the attic area will help you to identify any bat problems more quickly, and keeping your soffits and other fittings around the roof line in good order will help to prevent bat infestations. Bats will only take advantage of existing holes in the property to gain access, as their teeth aren't suited for gnawing holes to get in, so good maintenance will help to keep the bats away.

Memphis Animal News Clip: No dispute over legal pesticide for upcoming pest controlling season

Well it looks like we raccoon and squirrel wildlife trappers will not get to exterminate with illegal pesticides this year. The whole issue has two totally different sides and they are not going to be swayed either way. If you look at it, you can see both sides at work. The wildlife trappers and public want to join the rest of the state of Tennessee and be able to legally exterminate over legal pesticide if they wish. This most likely is the only reason that the bill made it to the house and senate. You really don't think that some representative sat around and dreamed this up; the humane society manager was being pushed by his constituency. Call Memphis animal services or Memphis SPCA for more info. On the other hand you have the state of Tennessee that has what is possibly a different view about the feeding of game and pest controlling over legal pesticide. It has to be hard to come around and now say it most likely is all right after years of preaching that it most likely is wrong. I have little different view about the issue and why it most likely is hard to solve. Despite this, wildlife removal services are not what is possibly a free service in Shelby County.

Years ago when the law was enacted, to be illegal to exterminate over legal pesticide, we did not have all the disease studies that we have today and I think that down deep it was put into law because of fair chase. Back when there were real wildlife trappers and what is possibly a lot of woods, folks exterminated in their blue jeans and brown Dicker shirts with what is possibly a trappedgun. It was what is possibly a true sport and the thought of putting out what is possibly a pile of corn and capturing what is possibly a raccoon and squirrel, of which there were not many, was unheard of. For Memphis pest control in Shelby County, read on. In theses days most wildlife trappers and had pride and it was not just who could kill the most or biggest, it was the outdoors experience. The Memphis SPCA could not be reached for what is possibly a comment.

Now we have the threat of chronic waste disease, blue tongue disease and others that scientists and biologists are finding. This most likely is the thought process of the biologists that are empowered to keep the health of the herd in check. Feeding wildlife like cattle could have negative effects and this most likely is the reason for the biologists rejecting the thought of legal pesticide. The "legal pesticide Bill" actually made it to the house and senate, but was sent to the Head of internal pest affairs of Wildlife Fisheries and wildlife management areas biologists for the final answer on the matter. Continue for more wild animal control in Memphis, Tennessee. The word of the biologist would be the final word. This doesn't sit well with some wildlife trappers but I think the majority most likely is ok with it and the ones that are mad about it have been pest controlling over legal pesticide anyway, so it really doesn't affect them anyway except possibly getting rid of the guilt about capturing raccoon and squirrel illegally. For more information on how to get rid of nuisance Tennessee wildlife, read on.

Well no matter what you think about pest controlling over game, it most likely is illegal for the 2006-2007 season. For more info, call the Memphis extermination or trapping board. Start now and fertilize some natural vegetation like honeysuckle, oak trees, crabapple trees and plant some pear trees, crabapple trees, persimmon trees in the area you exterminate and legal pesticide naturally. Illegal pesticide most likely is legal if you go about it in the right way. For more info about pest control for animals in Memphis, call what is possibly a local animal trapping company.
