If there is a chance of having an animal in the attic Plano there are a few things that you can do to prevent the animal from getting into your home. One very important thing would be to inspect your home regularly, look for any places where there is a possible entry point. This would be things like rotted or loose siding, an open vent or loose vent coverings. All of these things would need to be repaired and sealed to ensure that there is no further reentry from other animals. It is important if you find an opening in your home to ensure that there are no animals in the attic Plano already.

Animal in the attic Plano can cause quite a bit of damage to a home. If you have a raccoon in your home they will normally cause the damage while getting into your home.

Another important step that is sometimes skipped as “not being necessary” is the cleanup and sanitizing.

Getting the cleanup done is vital to the health of your home.

Houston squirrel removal should be done as soon as you think an animal may be in your attic. Squirrels are quite destructive little animals, the have you chew constantly due to their always growing teeth. It is pretty easy to determine if you have a squirrel or another animal in your attic. Squirrels are most likely heard during the day and sound a lot more like scampering, chewing and scratching. Most other nuisance animals will be awake during the night but squirrels forage for food during the day. Squirrels can wake up from hibernation and remember exactly where they stored all of their food.

When it comes to wild life in your home, call Chimney Wildlife Tech (214) 295-9318.

There are many toxins and animals that can cause you harm outside of your home.  Most people, me included, feel that your home is the safest place you can be to protect yourself and your family from the effects of these things.  Have you ever really looked at your home from the eyes of unwanted animals and seen its potential?  Wild life removal in your home is something that you do not want to delay.

The need for wild life removal is real, last week we had a client call in that there were some noises above their daughter’s room at night.  When we inspected the home there were three major entry points that the animal was using to get wild life in your home.  We set humane traps in the attic and in a matter of day; we had a call that there was an opossum in the trap.  We came right away and relocated the animal, did the repairs on the house and since then there have been no signs of any other animals in the home.

Animals, especially this time of year, are looking for places that would offer them protection from the elements and other predators.  The protections they often find are in the attics, soffits and walls of our homes.  This presents a few problems for the homeowner.  One major problem is the amount of damage they can cause in a short amount of time in a home, from creating holes, chewing through wires, and chewing through pipes.  This is all not to mention the illness and disease that can be spread through wild life animals.  If you are in need of wild life in your home removal get it does as soon as possible for the safety of your home and the people in it.

Removal of wild life in your home is not something that you want to delay in handling, not only in the possible damage to your home but also in the spread of illness and disease.

Foxnews.com just released an article on the 5 Deadliest Wildlife Home Invaders, it is worth the read.  I suggest after reading the article to an inspection on your home, look for any ways that an animal can get into your home, this would include any gaps or openings over 1/4th of an inch.  If you notice anything out of the ordinary call a professional wild life removal company right away.

Wildlife Removal Houston

Wildlife removal in Houston is a neccessay service that Chimney Wildlife Tech provides that the city or county does not, they only handle domesticated animals. Chimney Wildlife Tech does not handle dogs or cats. We handle raccoons, opossums, squirrels, rats, bats, snakes, birds, skunks, and armadillos.

What the county or city does make available to its residences are traps for the homeowner to rent and do it yourself. This is dangerous and should not be attempted by homeowners. Here are some good reasons why not to be your own wildlife removal service:

  • The best places to set traps are sometimes not where you think they are. Animals sometimes are hiding under insulation and/or out of site, they can and will attack if felt threatened. We handle wildlife and train what to do in these scary situations.
  • Traps set in attics have to come out of attics with a live, mad, smelly, possible rabid animal inside the trap
  • What if a trap malfunctions while you are carrying a live wildlife animal (in your house)?
  • What if trapped animal has a litter of babies, you have no training on finding them and no training on handling the new born young. Our training will find the young and safely relocate them with their mother.
  • Our traps have pheromones of previous wildlife on them that attracts the animal targeted. We often get calls that a homeowner has a city trap or a new trap and cannot catch the animal. We have put our trap right next to their trap and caught the animal soon after.
  • Multiple wildlife animals in the attic
  • Do it yourself homeowners think the job is done when the animal is gone, that’s just part one of a 4 part process. One is trap, two is repair the entry point and any future possible entry points, three is clean up feces and and urine soaked insulation, four is to sanitize and deodorize. Homeowners constantly tell us how previously they have had the same wildlife problems before, and 9 out of 10 times they didn’t do all four steps. 
  • Diseases, period. These animals are not from a zoo with immunization shots. They transfer these to humans and household pets.

Simple put, wildlife removal Houston should only be performed by a professional wildlife removal service, Chimney Wildlife Tech.
