Wildlife control or nuisance wildlife management refers to the process of selective or systematic removal of certain species of wildlife that has become destructive, menacing, or threat to human health.

The most common nuisance wildlife include opossums, squirrels, rats, mice, raccoons, pigeons, snakes, skunks, and bats. These animals pose a threat to human health because they carry disease-causing ticks, lice, bacteria and viruses. One of the best ways to eliminate or relocate them is to seek the help of aaac wildlife removal of treasure-coast.

Just like humans and all animals, wildlife deserves a place on this planet. But since they are one of the most common carriers of diseases, they have to be removed to keep people safe. Here's a list of nuisance animals that are potential carriers of zoonotic diseases when they invade homes:

1. Raccoon

Raccoon is a known carrier of rabies, raccoon roundworms, leptospirosis, and salmonella. Rabies is a deadly viral disease that attacks a person who is bitten by a rabid animal. Raccoon roundworms are parasitic worms that a person can get through accidental inhalation or ingestion of raccoon feces that contain parasite eggs. This can lead to larval migration to the central nervous system and it can cause damage to the eye and brain tissues.

Liptospirosis, on the other hand is a bacterial disease that animals pass on to humans through contact with infected urine. People who suffer from liptospirosis experience fever, shivering, vomiting, dehydration, meningitis, renal failure and kidney damage.

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. Humans can contract it by eating foods that are contaminated by infected animals.

5. Birds

The bird that has the highest potential to invade homes is pigeons. They are not known to carry and transmit zoonotic diseases but their droppings can become a host to a type of fungus that can cause histoplasmosis, a flu-like disease characterized by fever, chills, joint pains, chest pain, and mouth sores. This can happen when a person inhales the spores of the fungus that grow on pigeon droppings.

6. Bats

Bats may look harmless, but they are the most common transmitter of the rabies virus particularly in the North American continent. You should be cautious about them when they invade your home because they can bite.

If you notice that your trash is ripped apart before your garbage men have a chance to come and take it away you probably have a problem with rodents. The fuzzy little guys may be cute but you are going to definitely need to get rid of them before it becomes a problem inside your house.

Raccoons are crafty little fellows when it comes to scavenging. They do have hands so it is easy for them to really get in to places that you thought were secure originally. They are exceptional climbers. They climb up down spouts and get on your roof and can enter your home through any 4 inch holes. Your chimney is one way for them to get in for example or any small cracks or weathering.

Once a raccoon feels comfortable in an area with a food supply and protection they will start to nest there. They usually have three or four babies in a litter which can continually grow into an infestation on your property. If you notice a chirping sound in the fire place (usually in the spring) then it might be a sign that there is a family in there. Screaming and crying is a sign of mating too. February is the month to really look out for that.

Not only do they get into your trash, kitchen and clog up your chimney but they also do other damage. They can kill your poultry and your crops. If you have dead chickens in your coop then it could be a raccoon problem. Also they will eat vegetables in your garden and any pet food left out. If the raccoon is big enough, they can eat small pets as well. You may also have to watch out for moles in your garden. They are a bit trickier because they usually are underground.

Removing a raccoon should only be attempted by a trained professional. It is dangerous setting a trap with a living raccoon in an attic. The raccoon could be nursing raccoon pups and be very protective of her young. It could be a situation that the homeowner does not know that the pups have grown to full size and could be attacked by four or five raccoons at one time. As one can see, an attic is dangerous because it has no flooring. If a trap is in the back of an attic with a mother raccoon, you have no flooring to escape quickly. Therefore people falling through the attic (the ceiling) can cause serious injury, not to mention that mother raccoon following you down.

Squirrels chewing through siding to enter an attic or in between floors has always been a common nuisance for homeowners. Once in the attic squirrels can naw on wires creating a serious fire hazard and expensive electrical contractor bills for the rewiring. The best method of how to get rid of squirrels is one way traps set on the entry point to the structure. This way the squirrel leave on their own but cannot re-enter. If the squirrel is persistent, the next option is to trap and remove the squirrel to a legal wildlife refuge.

In urban areas wildlife like birds, raccoons, bats, skunks and various species of rodents can have a difficult time finding an appropriate refuge to call home. Often times these creatures will seek out shelter by nesting and burrowing in human homes. Attics, the hollow space under porches, basements, the insulation between walls and virtually any other accessible warm pocket can draw animals to your home. If you begin to hear rustling or scratching in the walls or discover evidence of nesting around your property, it's time to contact a wildlife removal agency.

Protect Yourself and the Environment

Once a wildlife infestation has been detected it's tempting to deal with the issue as soon as possible. Most homeowners will assume that they can remove the wildlife themselves without trouble. The truth is, for the untrained, wildlife removal can be a dangerous endeavour. Animals often nest in odd pockets which may prove extremely challenging for humans to access. Not only that, attempting removal without the appropriate equipment can unnecessarily expose humans to whatever diseases the animals may be carrying.

In addition to keeping humans safe, contacting a professional and humane wildlife removal service can spare the life of the animal. When removing a wildlife infestation in and around homes, it is important to remember that even urban areas are a shared living space between animals and humans. While animals may unknowingly venture into human territory during particularly stressful seasons like the spring and winter months when shelter and food are scarce, there is no need to kill or injure animals to remove them from your property. Contrary to what some removal companies may advertise, wildlife removal that preserves the animal's life is both safe and legal. When choosing a wildlife removal service ensure the technicians are aware of humane removal techniques and are licensed to do so.
