Depending on the situation, a one-way door or excluder valve can be installed. An excluder valve works by allowing the raccoon to leave but blocks its reentry. 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. If we must trap, we place traps strategically to safely catch the raccoons and we check traps frequently, based on state laws.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Repairs\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeRepairs.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a wrench decoration logo\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Repairs<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>We provide a wide range of repair and restoration services.

One good thing about rats and mice is that they are prey for animals like owls, hawks, snakes, and more.<\/p>\n<p>You may never see them, but the signs they leave behind are evidence of their destructive behaviors. Rats like to create burrows in your yard and will gnaw just about anything, including wires, siding, pipes, garden hoses, and any wood. Mice inside your home will chew holes in your cabinets to get to your pantry foods, contaminating groceries and costing you money.<\/p>\n<p>Mice can fit through a hole the size of a quarter, and rats can fit through a hole the size of a golf ball. Holes you may never notice are entry points for rodents that carry diseases. We can help eliminate your rodent problem.

This continues throughout the night.<\/p>\n<p>Bats have one big problem, guano, or bat poop. Bat guano contains uric acid, the kind that can corrode metal. If inhaled by humans, guano can grow molds that may lead to respiratory issues, like histoplasmosis.<\/p>\n<p>Bats roost upside down in places with high ceilings.

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> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1711296618865\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are some common signs of nuisance wildlife activity?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Noises in the home.
