Animal removal is increasingly more important across the nation, and St. Joseph is no exception. Critter Control of St. Joseph specializes in wildlife animal removal, including removal of bats, squirrels, house mice, raccoons, Norway rats, woodchucks, skunks, pigeons, opossums, and more. Wildlife animal removal is a vital step in animal control. Wildlife damage repair and clean up can't begin until the animal has been removed.
Due to government spending cuts, much of the animal removal has been left in the hands of private individuals. Critter Control of St. Joseph knows how time-consuming, tiresome, and sometimes-dangerous animal removal can be. We are here to offer affordable, effective, and humane animal removal services for your home or business.
Wildlife Dangers
Individual animal species may react differently when approached by humans. Bats may fly around while squeaking, squirrels will run and hide, raccoons may try and bite/scratch, skunks will spray, and opossums may play dead. All wildlife animals are unpredictable and should not be handled by an untrained homeowner. Our technicians go through extensive training on how to correctly approach, trap, and remove wildlife in the safest way possible. If you suspect you may have a wildlife infestation, give us a call!
Many St. Joseph area homeowners have woken up to the sound of noises outside at night, only in time to catch a glimpse of a furry critter sifting through their garbage. Raccoons and opossums are the most common culprits of this nuisance behavior and will almost always return to where they've found a food source before. Both raccoons and opossums can become agitated and aggressive when approached or cornered, so keep your distance and give us a call. We can help you trap your pesky nighttime visitors and give you suggestions and solutions to prevent them from returning in the future.
Wildlife Animal Noises
When you awake to scratching noises or sounds of chewing/gnawing on wood, those are the signs of a house mice infestation. House mice will chew furniture and occasionally chew on wires, creating a fire hazard in your home! Critter Control of St. Joseph will find all points of entry, remove the animals, repair points of entry and put measures in place to help prevent future animal control problems.
