These animals are able to get inside through cracks so small, you may not even notice they\u2019re there; our team can identify and close them easily. It\u2019s much better to stave off a home critter incident than to hope for the best and end up with a raccoon tearing up your attic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-habitat-disruption-and-increased-wildlife-encounters\">Habitat Disruption and Increased Wildlife Encounters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last two years, $20 million has been put towards developing downtown Lima. While great for the local business economy, expanding development often displaces animals, leading to an influx of contact between residents and local wildlife. Area residents should be on the lookout for raccoons, bats, rodents, skunks, squirrels and more, in and around their homes as the weather begins to warm and critter sightings become commonplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-community-support-and-local-expertise\">Community Support and Local Expertise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOhio sees quite a bit of critter activity in the warmer months, so this franchise couldn\u2019t be arriving at a better time for locals,\u201d said Joe Felegi, General Manager of Critter Control. \u201cJason has our full confidence that he will provide the area with robust, humane wildlife removal services that show respect for both the locals and the wildlife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-training-and-franchise-preparation\">Training and Franchise Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Established in 1983, Critter Control is a nuisance wildlife removal service that prioritizes the humane removal of animals from homes and yards. With the launch of each new franchise comes an intensive, hands-on training session to ensure the success of each new franchise operator. The training sessions are held at Critter Control\u2019s Atlanta headquarters, with simulated environments that prepare teams for any wildlife scenario.
