Critter Control\u2019s bespoke wildlife inspection, prevention, exclusion and removal processes will be instrumental in humanely removing these critters and others from local homes to avoid any danger or major property damage. Homeowners should be keenly aware of unusual sounds or smells coming from their attics or other areas of their homes at this time of year; it is best to identify and handle critter issues sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-community-preparedness-and-support\">Community Preparedness and Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUpstate homes are host to a wide variety of nuisance wildlife issues as the weather warms,\u201d said Joe Felegi, General Manager of Critter Control. \u201cThe community needs to be prepared for unexpected critter run-ins.
