Both states define nuisance wildlife as an animal that causes damage to your home or property, causes an annoyance to your family, or poses a threat to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing wildlife in your backyard is more common today due to animals having fewer places in the wild to find food, water, and shelter. At Critter Control, we have dealt with every nuisance wildlife in the Quad Cities. Below are a few examples of our inspection, removal, and repair process that helps us get rid of nuisance wildlife for good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"steps-cards\" aria-label=\"cards showing easy steps\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"section-intro row\">\n      <h2 class=\"section-title\">Critter Control Wildlife Removal Process<\/h2>\n      <div class=\"section-desc\">\n        <p><p>Critter Control is here for you every step of the way in the wildlife removal process.

Exclusion techniques repair any damage the animal causes getting into your home. Inside your home, animals build nests and dens out of readily available material.

We apply sanitation agents to clean up feces and urine. Mammals can host pests like fleas, ticks, and mites.

A raccoon\u2019s destruction starts with their dens, which they build under decks and porches or in attics and chimneys.<\/p>\n<p>Raccoons have hands that are much like humans, a big help when searching for food. Their hands allow them to turn doorknobs, unlock latches, open trash cans, dig holes in the lawn, catch fish in the pond, steal crops, and climb everything from trees to roofs. They can go anywhere for a good meal.<\/p>\n<p>Destruction can be immense and goes way beyond scattered trash. They eat small livestock, raid gardens, and break vents and screens to enter your home. Once inside, they shred insulation and drywall, scratch walls and beams, and leave piles of feces and urine near their living space.

The choice of device is largely dependent on the season and location of the raccoons on your property. Direct capture is not commonly used because raccoons are a rabies vector species.

During the spring, people notice noises in their atti because animals like squirrels and raccoons are giving birth. Most animals leave an attic during the hot summers except for bats! Bats are most active during the summer. As the weather cools in the fall, critters start preparing for winter. Skunks and raccoons will tear up yards looking for food. Finally the cold weather usually slows animal activity down except for rodents. Rats and mice are active all year long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1711296618865\" class=\"schema-faq-section\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are some common signs of nuisance wildlife activity?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Noises in the home.
