The sudden arrival of wild animals such as skunks, groundhogs, raccoons and bats can present significant challenges. Here’s how our specialized services can help.

Security

It’s crucial to use our expert services to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being.

Wild animals such as skunks and raccoons can transmit dangerous diseases such as rabies, tetanus and leptospirosis to humans. Incorrectly catching these animals increases the risk of contracting these diseases.

Capturing these animals without the proper equipment or training can be very risky, causing injuries such as bites and scratches to both you and the animal.

Laws govern the capture and treatment of wild animals. If these laws are not respected, there may be legal consequences. It’s best to call in a professional to avoid complications.

A lack of appropriate knowledge can easily cause unnecessary stress or injury to the animal, which runs counter to ethical wildlife management and animal welfare practices.

Even if a person who captures animals is temporarily successful, the problem can reappear without a good understanding of animal behavior and adequate preventive measures. This emphasizes the importance of a thorough knowledge of animal behavior and well-adapted preventive measures to solve the problem in a sustainable way.

Our mission of capturing and relocating animals, whether skunks or shrews, is essential to preserving the ecological balance. By resettling them in appropriate habitats, we work to protect biological diversity and animal welfare, thereby promoting the overall health of our ecosystems.

10 frequently asked questions about wild animals

To avoid the presence of wild animals around your home, you can use harmless repellents, secure food sources such as garbage cans and block potential accesses to your house. You can also discourage their presence by installing ultrasonic devices or motion-detecting lighting.

Our expertise covers a wide range of wildlife captures, including skunks, groundhogs, raccoons, squirrels, bats and shrews.

Absolutely. We use techniques that minimize stress and risk to the animals, ensuring their well-being throughout the process.

To prevent insect invasions, it’s essential to make your home less attractive. You need to lock up your garbage cans, block any potential access points such as attic or porch openings, and keep your garden clean. It’s also advisable to consult professionals on a regular basis for assessments and advice tailored to your situation.

Holes or burrows around your property, damaged plants, and piles of earth near burrow openings are telltale signs of groundhogs. You may also spot marmots feeding or basking in the sun.

To deter woodchucks, reduce temptation by removing food sources, and install underground fencing to prevent access to their burrows. If they persist, contact a specialist to capture and safely relocate them.

To keep skunks away, it’s a good idea to use suitable repellents, clean up attractive areas like woodpiles or leaf piles, and secure garbage cans. For a permanent solution, we recommend calling in a professional.

Bats can help the ecosystem by regulating insect populations, but it’s important to pay attention and manage their unwanted presence in human dwellings. Here are the telltale signs of a bat infestation:

  1. Noise: Sounds such as scratching, wing beating or chirping can sometimes be heard in attics, walls or loft spaces, particularly at dawn or dusk, times of activity for bats.
  2. Guano: Guano is easily recognized by its texture, which turns into a fine powder when dry. It can be found on exterior walls, near entry points, or in places such as attics, loft spaces and even basements. Its presence is a telltale sign of the existence of bats.
  3. Odor: Bat guano and urine give off a strong ammonia odor, especially in enclosed spaces like attics. This odor can penetrate living spaces.
  4. Oil stains: Bats often leave oil stains near cracks, holes, under gutters and roofs, where they usually enter.
  5. Visual presence: Observing bats entering or leaving your home at dusk or dawn, or seeing them flying around, can signal the presence of a colony nearby.
  6. Debris: Small pieces of insect debris can indicate the presence of bats, which feed and leave tracks under entry points or in an attic.

If you suspect a bat infestation, it’s important to contact wildlife management professionals for safe and ethical inspection and disposal. Bats are protected by law in many places, and their removal often requires specific methods to avoid harming them.

As bats are protected species, it’s crucial not to cause them any harm. To discourage them, secure openings and use exclusion devices that allow them to leave but not enter. When in doubt, seek expert advice.
