You can find them searching for food, water, and shelter in your yard. If they can find food and water, they will create a shelter nearby, possibly in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attics, sheds, basements, crawlspaces, and beneath porches and decks are preferred habitats for many wildlife species. If they can access the area, they will, causing damage to your home and property in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critter Control has experts who perform thorough inspections to create a plan for removing nuisance wildlife and repairing damage. Below are examples of how our process works with raccoons, rats and mice, squirrels, bats, and birds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"steps-cards steps-cards--vertical\" 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>Wildlife removal in Michigan is regulated to protect both residents and native species.

While you sleep, they are out scavenging for food. There are plenty of sources in Kalamazoo and all of Southwest Michigan. Raccoons eat just about anything, from restaurant scraps and pet food to garden crops and chickens. Their hands resemble human hands and allow them to turn doorknobs, open storage bins, and climb trees, chimneys, and poles.<\/p>\n<p>Raccoons have a permanent mask and banded tail. They would be cute if they weren\u2019t so destructive. They will do what they can to get into parts of your house they see fit to sleep and give birth to pups. If they must rip, tear, or break something to get to that spot, they will. Raccoons make lots of noises, like whimpers, growls, and screams. They leave feces and urine nearby their shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Before\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wildlife\/raccoons\">trying to remove a raccoon\u00a0<\/a>from your home by yourself, remember they can carry diseases, and if threatened, they may bite.

If you have any of these on your property, you likely have squirrels.<\/p>\n<p>While squirrels are fun to watch, they can wreak havoc on your garden, birdfeeder, electrical wires, shingles, vents, chimneys, and attic. They like to bring items from the outdoors to the inside of your home. They sometimes place these items in your vents, ducts, and other places that could create a fire hazard. They tear out your insulation and drywall to add to their nest-building materials.<\/p>\n<p>Some squirrels are considered endangered, which is one reason you should call an animal control operator to get rid of squirrels from your home.
