NUISANCE ANIMALS

Squirrel Control and Removal

The most common problem of squirrels is that they will enter the your Maryland attic through existing holes or chew their way through weakened areas of roofs, vents, soffets (soffits) to gain access to a warm and safe environment. Once inside they can cause significant damage which include:

Damaged and shredded insulation
Feces and urine deposits
Ceilings stains from urine
Strong odors from droppings and soaked or saturated insulation
Damage to electrical wiring that creates a serious and dangerous fire hazard

Eastern gray squirrels (sciurus carolinensis) which are found in MD are medium sized arboreal, or tree squirrels. Their back is grizzled dark to pale gray and may be tinted with reddish coloration on their hips, feet and head. The tail is white to pale gray and as is their stomach. In the north, both their ears and soles of the feet grow heavy fur during winter. Generally, there is no difference between males and females with respect to size or coloration.

They have two breeding seasons per year in MD. Most breeding occurs in December through February and May through June of each year. In Maryland females may have two litters per year, one from each breeding season. Average litter sizesin MD range from 2 to 3; the winter litter is generally smaller than the summer litter. Both sexes remain reproductively active throughout their lives.

The squirrel easily adapts to whatever situation confronts him. The secret to his survival is how quickly he learns the ropes around your MD neighborhood. If there is no food available the squirrel will travel for miles to find it then set up his home nearby. His nest, called a "drey," is usually built high up in the trees but if no tree is available the squirrel will build it in the next best thing an attic in your Maryland home.

The squirrel is one of Maryland's most common wildlife pests. If you hear “noises” in your attic odds are you have a uninvited guest named “squirrel.” The most common noise complaints associated with squirrels in the attic is lots of "scratching," this could be a sign that a female squirrel is preparing to have her young.

This situation should be addresses immediately before the young are old enough to cause damage to your homes wiring.

It is estimated that more than 40,000 incidents of house fires annually are caused by faulty electrical wiring. As such, it is the leading cause of fire-related casualties, claiming about 500 lives with property losses estimated at over $500 million annually. Out of these 40,000 fires it’s believed that 40% are caused by rodents chewing on wiring.

Raccoon Control and Management

In the springtime in Maryland hundreds of female raccoons find their way into attics, crawl spaces and basements as well as chimneys in search of a safe place to have their young. The usual time for liter births in MD is late March into early April. Raccoons are very strong and can break louvers from gable vents, tear shingles off of a roof, and dismantle faulty chimney caps or tear of chimney screens. Once inside, raccoons will create a nesting area and designate a spot to be their toilet. This can cause a terrible odor and as it soaks into the insulation, sheetrock or ceiling tiles can cause damage or stains.

These animals are destructive by nature and will tear apart insulation and wiring as well as rip shingles from the roof for not apparent reason. Raccoons are very dangerous animals to have living in your Maryland attic, chimney, or any other place for a number of reasons.

Indications and symptoms of a Raccoon problem:

Loud noises in your MD attic, especially at night
Juvenile raccoon chatter sounds like baby birds chirping
Scratching, loud noises or chirping from your fireplace
Noticeable damage on the outside of your home
Raccoon sightings on your roof, porch or property

Animal Exclusion Services

Whatever the animal or pest may be the only way to getting rid of the problem is to trap the nuisance and remove them from the location. Whether it's squirrels, raccoons, gophers, groundhogs, skunks, snakes, rats, mice or bats, simply blocking the entrance will not solve the problem. You’re little or big nuisance animal will either remove the blockade or create a new entry. Especially if they have their young still in your Maryland home.

Most MD operators use the most humane methods to trap nuisance animals, or critters and remove them from the property. They then secure the entry spot or holes to insure that the pest or pests do not return and do not gain reentry so that you can sleep worry free. The fact is that except in those cases where you simply left a window or door open and animals got into your home, every structural animal trapping job is going to require some type of animal damage repair or exclusion to prevent animals from gaining or regaining entry into your home. In the animal control profession, we have a name for repairs or modifications made specifically to keep wild animals out of your home or property. We call this work Wildlife Exclusion, and getting it done right the first time can make all the difference in preventing continuing entry and damage by bats, birds, squirrels, raccoons, rodents, and other nuisance animals.

Most Maryland Wildlife Removal Operators provide a wide range of animal damage repair and animal exclusion or "animal-proofing" services throughout all of Maryland including Bowie, Laurel, Prince Georges County, Silver Springs, Frederick, Potomac, Waldorf, White Plains, Budds Creek and all areas in between. No matter what kind of critter has moved into your attic, roof, soffits, crawl space, basement, barn, or shed, One of Our Maryland Operators can catch it.

It's a lot easier and less expensive to keep bats, rats, raccoons, squirrels, and other nuisance animals out of your home in the first place than it is to clean up the mess and fix the damage once they've already gotten in.
