Raccoon Control

So why should you call us for raccoon removal from your home space? Well, raccoons carry harmful diseases that can easily spread to you or your pets. The diseases include ringworms, rabies, and fleas which can affect you and your pets. Raccoons cause untold damage to the home's infrastructure, and this is where they shred any wood paneling in your home and any insulation you may have installed. Repairing the damages costs a lot, so having the raccoons running around your home is costly. Raccoons can also get quite aggressive when they are hungry and need food. Their aggressiveness also tends to surface when they protect their young, and they can attack you and your pets.

With all the damages and possible harm that can be experienced, raccoon removal stands as the best choice to take up when faced with their invasion. The best aspect of having Jack Russell Wildlife Control is that removal of the problem is handled professionally and safely, which you would have otherwise not achieved on your own using DIY methods. The company is instrumental in ensuring they handle the removal and subsequent sealing of the expected habitats that raccoons take advantage of. Sealing is important since it protects your home from future invasions, ensuring you take care of the problem once and for all.

Raccoons do not have to cause you endless worry, especially when you are not around to monitor and restrict interaction with your kids and pets with the animals. Contact us and have the problem solved through raccoon removal and the vulnerable regions of your home sealed to restrict any possible return of uninvited guests using the prescribed raccoon control measures.

The harm that birds bring is not limited to the destruction as they can ensure you incur costs in managing their presence. With the waste they deposit on your property and in the spaces in and around your house where they inhabit, it can get quite costly to clean up the mess. In addition to the mess and waste brought along, birds like starlings are quite noisy, which means they cause noise pollution when you may need a quiet home space. This noise can be quite irritating and may lead to frustrations and possible depression if it goes unchecked and uncontrolled.

What Kind of Damage Can Bats Cause?

Lone bats tend not to be a problem. They are most likely disoriented and will usually find their way out. However, colonies can cause real problems. Colonies tend to multiply year by year, so a small colony in your attic can easily grow into a formidable one. This can cause problems due to the weight of the guano buildup, causing pressure on the attic’s floor. Over many months, the weight of the guano can even cause structural damage that will be costly to repair or replace.

The strong unpleasant smell from droppings can permeate your home. This causes a health hazard, as insects and scavengers tend to take fondly to the high nutrition content of guano. Guano is also the carrier of Histoplasma capsulatum. This fungus can cause pneumonia, chills, fever, and chest pains. The elderly, young, and those with compromised immune systems are particularly at risk of histoplasmosis. There is also the danger of bats transmitting rabies from bites. Even though incidents are slim, it is still possible to be bitten by a bat infected with rabies.

Rat Removal

The best thing to do when rats invade your home is to take action as early as possible before they cause too much damage and loss. Many signs can help you identify whether you need rat control before the situation worsens. For instance, if you notice rat droppings around your food storage areas, hear noises in the attic, or see Burrows in your garden or around the home, you most likely have these uninvited guests in your homestead.

Despite their slight differences, Norway and Roof rats can cause immeasurable damage to your home because they gnaw at the wood, plastic, and soft metal; therefore, they will destroy your doors, walls, wires, and pipes. They will also excrete all over your living space, giving it an off-putting smell. Thus, eliminating them requires a similar approach.

Getting rid of rats in a home is not easy because these rodents have natural instincts that help them evade common pest control techniques. They have a strong sense of smell and a tendency to avoid new things in their environment, making it difficult to trap or bait them. They also hide in places that are quite hard to reach and develop resistance to poisons meant to kill them over time. Therefore, you need to enlist the help of a professional who is well trained and experienced in rat elimination and preventing future infestation.

Jack Russell Wildlife Control provides Galvin, WA, residents with rat control services. I will inspect homes and use safe and efficient methods to eliminate the pests, then seal off the weak areas the rats use to access the house. The first step is normally to seal the entry points and set the traps. I do not use poison because it may endanger humans and fail to work due to resistance.



Call today, and let me help you eliminate rats and safeguard your home from future invasions.

The Northern Flying Squirrels are the rarest and most nice looking of the three species. The Eastern Gray Squirrel, on the other hand, is usually common in urban areas where there are imported nut trees. These are the most notorious species. Douglas squirrel or the chickaree and pine squirrel is the most common and is a native of these parts of the world. It is also the noisiest, with relentless whistling and squeaking sounds.

There are less common species known as the Red Squirrel and Western Grey Squirrel. These two species will rarely infest your home. However, there are a few cases of their invasion in Washington that have been reported in the recent past. Most of the time, the female squirrel will invade your house in search of a place to shelter its young one. The method of removing squirrels is the same regardless of the type of squirrel in your house.

oPossum Control

If you have a opossum problem, you could attempt opossum removal independently, but that is not a recommended course of action. After all, the sharp teeth of opossums are used to eat rodents and other small animals, which is more than enough to cause serious harm to humans. Something particularly true if their bites happen to be carrying something that can be transmitted to humans.

Instead, you should immediately contact us for efficient and effective animal trapping to eliminate opossums. This is particularly important because opossums like to live in small, cramped spaces such as attics, basements, and between the walls. You need expertise, experience, and equipment for the best results. Just as importantly, we believe in the power of prevention, meaning that we will get rid of your opossum problem and prevent future recurrences. We know where opossums like to live and how opossums break into buildings, meaning that we can use that knowledge to seal your home against other opossums searching for food and shelter.

Generally, a skunk is less destructive than other pests that invade homes, like rats, squirrels, and raccoons. They rarely scratch or burrow through your walls as they use the passageways other animals make. Normally, they enter the house searching for rats and mice to eat. They are nocturnal and only come out at night to hunt for food and sleep during the day. Skunks are omnivorous and like eating insects, rodents, fruits, eggs, poultry, and vegetables. They are useful in keeping the rodent population in check when not being a bother.

Skunks use their offensive odor as a defense mechanism and emit it only when threatened. This odor can cause you or your temporary pet blindness for about fifteen minutes if sprayed when you are too close to the animal. They rarely live in the houses unless it is an abandoned house. They prefer staying away from people under decks, porches, and sheds. One easy way to eliminate skunks is to ensure that you use the house regularly because they will flee.

Otter Control

You should never attempt otter removal on your own. This is partly because otters are protected by federal law, meaning that you will be held liable if something goes wrong during the otter removal process. However, it is also important to note that otters can weigh as much as 100 pounds, proving surprisingly dangerous when provoked.

If you need otter control, you should contact us as soon as possible for the animal trapping results you deserve. Furthermore, since we understand that otters can become a recurring problem unless the conditions that made it possible for them to enter are corrected, we are also prepared to provide the changes needed to prevent future otter problems. This is particularly important because otters are smart and strong, meaning you need stronger-than-normal materials and construction methods to keep them out.

Mice are one of the major contributors to crop, electrical, and structural damage to the modern home. With teeth that do not stop growing throughout their lives, mice are always gnawing through power lines and spreading contagious diseases that can plague your household. Being able to crawl through small pipes and slip into hard-to-reach places, mice can also cause short-circuiting and sparking that can create fires. The diseases the house mice carry are also transmittable to your house pets and family members. Salmonella and tapeworm are highly transmittable and tend to stem from rodents. Not only can the bite of a mice be particularly dangerous, but the urine, saliva, and droppings of mice are highly infectious.
