The most effective ways to control a skunk problem is exclusion and habitat modification.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Skunk Control\">\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\">Skunk Control<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <div class=\"desc\">\n<p>The most effective ways to control a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wildlife\/skunks\/\">skunk problem is exclusion<\/a> and habitat modification.

Birds love to make nests in eaves, gutters, vents, chimneys, and attic. They spend hours collecting the right materials to build a nest that will last. When they are not building, they are roosting or perching and dropping poop that can grow fungus. Whether woodpeckers or pigeons, each bird can cause a certain amount of damage to your property.

In rescue situations, such as chimneys or basements, birds can be released on-site if the entrance has been secured properly. Occasionally, live traps will be used, especially if flocks of birds are involved. For persistent birds and larger flocks, several advanced techniques may be applied simultaneously including netting, spikes, ledge products, scare tactics, misting and more. The most effective method of bird control is prevention and exclusion.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Prevention &#038; Exclusion\">\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\">Prevention &#038; Exclusion<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>We can repair the damage that is allowing birds entry to your home, like broken siding, weakened gutters, rotted soffits and fascia.

During especially cold moments of winter, they will stay in their extensive burrows where they have gathered a cache of food.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"icon-cards\" aria-label=\"icon cards\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n                        <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Inspection\">\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_HomeInspection.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a magnifying glass icon\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Inspection<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>The clearest sign of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wildlife\/chipmunks\/\">chipmunk infestation<\/a> is the damage in your yard. Chipmunks create extensive burrows. Their holes are only 2-3 inches wide but can stretch 20 to 30 feet. Other signs of chipmunks include dug planted seeds, gnaw marks on tree bark, and destroyed flowers, stems, fruits, and vegetables. Chipmunks rarely enter homes so the signs of a chipmunk infestation will be in your yard. While it is unlikely a chipmunk is in your house, we will still look for any potential entry points.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Chipmunk Trapping\">\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_Raccon_Paws.svg\"\n                  alt=\"Raccoon paws decorative icon\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Chipmunk Trapping<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <div class=\"desc\">\n<p>One of the most effective ways to prevent chipmunk damage is to create exclusions around your home. Buried hardware cloth is a useful option to keep chipmunks out of gardens and flower beds. Additionally, you can use wire mesh to prevent chipmunks from entering your home. The wire mesh should be secured to any openings that a chipmunk may be able to squeeze through.<\/p>\n<p>Chipmunk trapping typically takes 10-14 days; however, this may vary depending on the extent of the chipmunk intrusion. Cage traps with fine mesh can be effective with peanut butter as the bait. Additionally, you may use fruit, nuts, or seed to bait the trap. Live traps and snare traps can be an effective tools to remove chipmunks from your property.<\/p>\n<\/div>\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>Filling a chipmunk hole before a control strategy is not effective.

If a chipmunk enters a home, it typically uses a downspout or gutter. Critter Control will install gutter guards to prevent that from happening.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"cta-banner-wrapper row  alt alt2 \">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n        <div class=\"cta-banner\">\n          <div class=\"cta-banner-content\"><p>Call to Schedule an Inspection<\/p>\n<\/div>\n          <a\n                        href=\"tel:\"\n                        class=\"cta-phone-link\">\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wp-content\/themes\/crittercontrol-2.0\/resources\/img\/svg-legend.svg#icon-phone\"><\/use>\n            <\/svg>\n            <div class=\"cta-phone-link-wrapper\">\n              <div class=\"cta-phone-link-num\">\n                                  <span>(828) 630-8599<\/span>\n                              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"cta-phone-link-text\">(No Cats &#038; Dogs)<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"checkmark-callout\" aria-label=\"checkmark callouts\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"section-intro\">\n      <h2 class=\"section-title\">The Critter Control Difference<\/h2>\n\n    <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"checkmark-callout-item\">\n          <div class=\"icon\">\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"check\"\n                 class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-check fa-w-16\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                 viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n              <path\n                d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"desc\">\n            <span class=\"title\">Trained Specialists<\/span>\n            <span class=\"text\"> Animal removal is a highly sophisticated job.
