When becoming a homeowner, not everyone realizes owning property might mean having to deal with unwanted wild animals in the home or elsewhere on the property. These animals could be anything from mice and rats to bats, birds, snakes, groundhogs, skunks or raccoons. In some cases, making small changes around the home or yard can help make it less attractive to these animals but, in others, it may be necessary to call in a company that deals with Animal Removal in Anthem AZ.
Eliminate Entry Opportunities
One of the best ways to keep pesky animals out of the home is to take the time to go through the home to block any potential holes where they could enter the home. Also, go around the yard and eliminate hiding places close to the home, such as woodpiles and open trash barrels. Clean up any leaves or other debris, and make sure that compost piles are covered and don’t contain meat scraps. Cut down tree branches that come close to the house, as animals can sometimes climb the tree and use the branch to jump to the roof and get into the attic. Before dealing with this, however, it’s important to make sure there aren’t already animals inside the home, as this would trap them there and make the problem potentially worse. Be sure to check the attic, the exterior including the roof and the siding, and the foundation. Be especially careful to check edges and corners where materials meet.
Consider Regular Inspections
Rather than waiting until the problem is large and very noticeable, such as multiple animals moving around in the home and having babies, consider having regular inspections from pest control professionals that deal with Animal Removal in Anthem AZ. These professionals know all of the signs of an animal infestation and also know how to find out where these pests are getting into the home and close off those areas.
Removal
Wild animals can be dangerous so, while it may be fine for a homeowner to use a mousetrap, less-familiar animals should be left for the professionals to deal with. They will know how to move them in a safe and humane manner.
