After a phone consultation to determine your exact needs, we can better gauge a price for handing your issue. Trapping costs are typically are set price unless the area is unsafe or has limited access forcing us to use alternate or modified methods to trap the animals. Dead animal removal can also vary as animals tend to die in some very inaccessible places or will die right on your lawn. Size and disposal will also play a role. Animal proofing costs will vary depending on the location of the area if up high, if there are rocks, roots or bushes to deal with if on the ground and what the size of the area is that we are excluding to wildlife.

With raccoons traps can be set on the roof, on the ground where they are gaining access and also inside the attic if need be. Each has its pros and cons. Setting up for squirrel removal or raccoon traps on the roof means it must be secured down by screwing to the roof. Of course, all holes are properly sealed after the trapping has been completed. Raccoon removal that is done inside an attic, can also bring its own set of issues. When a raccoon has been caught and needs to be brought down and through the home, it can potentially be messy. Raccoon urinate when they are afraid, they can usually have feces in the cage, can cut themselves on the steel, and loose hair and they rub against the cage. This means you can have blood, hair, urine and raccoon feces trailing into your home if the trap has not been contained tightly. For squirrels, attic traps work wonderful as they don’t really present all of the issue raccoons do. Traps set on the ground for raccoon where they are climbing up can be effective but they can also catch random animals that find the bait first. Skunk traps are set at the den site, which is most effective for quick capture.

Many are interested in the bait we use. For squirrels, peanut butter is usually the bait of choice as it has a strong odor and lasts quite a while. Raccoon will eat almost anything, so anything from cat food and sardines to marshmallows are used depending on the time of year and situation. Skunk are omnivores as well so cat food, sardines and carrots are all baits that are used to catch them.

We do get sprayed from time to time when providing Mice Removal and while there is no way to keep a skunk from spraying, patience and experience can calm a skunk’s nerves to keep it from spraying. When we are sprayed, baking soda, peroxide and dish soap is the only solution that breaks down all 3 molecules of skunk odor. Tomato juice is an internet tale.

Why Squirrels Are Important To The Forest Habitat Plus Information About Squirrels Teeth

When most people think of rodents, unfortunately rats and mice come to mind, since they are the pests we encounter frequently. However, since nearly 40% of all mammal species are some kind of rodent, there are a lot more different species, and most of them aren’t pests. Squirrels are one of the more abundant species of rodents, most of the time they aren’t pests and they are quite friendly in a city environment. They also play a valuable part in the ecosystem, here are some of their traits, favorite foods, information about squirrels teeth and other habits.

Many Trees Need Squirrels To Propagate

At first glance it would be easy to assume that since squirrels eat many of the seeds from the various trees in the forest that they are detrimental to their survival. However, when you look closely you’ll see that trees have adapted to these animals and now use them to help spread their seeds and reproduce.

As it turns out, many of the trees that produce high volumes of edible seeds, like chestnuts, stone pines, and many others, rely on a particular habit of squirrels to get their seeds farther out into the rest of the forest. Squirrels will always eat some of the seeds they find immediately, however, the rest of them will be safely saved in various burial sites that will hopefully be found in the future when there are no fresh seeds available.

This habit of saving food for the winter ends up planting seeds from dozens of trees all over the forest each season. Without squirrels many trees wouldn’t be able to get their seeds any farther away than the edge of the branches from which they fall. The heavier the seed, the more they rely on squirrels to carry them and bury them in faraway places.

What Are A Squirrel’s Favorite Foods

There are actually dozens of varieties of squirrels found all around the world. Just in the US there are gray squirrels, black squirrels, ground squirrels, and fox squirrels, just to name a few. Chipmunks, and prairie dogs are also closely related and have many of the same traits.

On average, a squirrel will eat many different fruits, nuts, and vegetables that it finds throughout its habitat. They also eat mushrooms and fungi they find growing in the forest as well as flowers and even insects too. Squirrels that live in or near the city have also adapted to eating many human foods like scrap hamburgers, fried chicken leftovers, bread, cat food, and even bird seed intended for birds at your backyard feeder.

Why A Squirrel’s Teeth Are Important

Most of the foods that a squirrel will eat in the wild are hard and need to be gnawed down by sharp teeth. This is where the rodent teeth that squirrels have come in handy. Here is some important information about squirrels teeth.

By definition, rodents all have giant incisor teeth, two on the top and two on the bottom, that they use to gnaw tiny bits off of large seeds that can then be swallowed or chewed further by molars. These incisors keep growing their entire life, whether they use them or not. So, even if they eat a diet of soft foods, they’ll need to continually gnaw on hard things, trees, wire casings, and even rocks to keep them worn down. If they grow to long, they can actually pierce the inside of their mouth and cause death. But not to worry, most rodents, including squirrels, have a constant desire to gnaw and chew on things to keep their teeth in great condition.

If you have squirrels in your yard or nearby, remember that they are part of nature’s plan to take care of forests. They rarely carry diseases and can be quite friendly to humans. If you want to learn how to feed them, there are a variety of online resources to help you find the right foods and platforms so you can watch them enjoy your backyard safely.
