Understanding Wildlife Signs

Haltom City Wildlife Removal is more than a hassle. Wild animals such as raccoons, squirrels, opossums, and bats often find their way inside attic spaces, crawl spaces, and walls, particularly within areas where older trees stand close to homes. Taking action on time really matters, especially within areas close to Buffalo Ridge Park, NE Loop 820, as it can make a whole difference.  Haltom City Wildlife Removal Services can prevent serious structural as well as health issues within your home, office, or commercial spaces.

In a residential neighborhood close to Glenview Drive, a Haltom City family heard noises coming from above their kitchen. Primarily thinking it would be rodents, the homeowners could have spent a small fortune on air quality. Fortunately, a call to Critter Stop showed our expert assessment to be a raccoon, which had smashed its way into a roof vent, creating a nest directly on top of the HVAC system. A lack of insulation, urine, and air circulation had released those odors throughout the house.

Wildlife Threats to Health & Property

Wild animals can bring diseases, pose a fire threat, as well as weaken some structures. Raccoons can tear down insulation, as well as chew wires, contributing to potential electrical fires. Bats are histoplasmosis carriers. This can be a result of their droppings. Opossums can bring unwanted organisms, such as fleas and ticks, into crawl spaces. Squirrels chew on wood as well as wires. Even the tiniest opening near vents can pose entry threats.

The longer the wildlife has the opportunity to inhabit a residential or commercial building, the more severe the infestation will become. In one example, a restaurant located in Haltom City found a nest erected within a wall void near the kitchen. By the time the incident got taken care of, the squirrels had chewed electrical wires, making a fire hazard. With Haltom City Wildlife Removal a complete electrical check, as well as repair work on the walls, had to be done, much of which could have been avoided.

Common Wildlife Issues in Haltom City

In Haltom City, common calls dealing with removing wildlife include:

• Raccoons entering attics or chimneys. Sometimes this occurs while they're breeding.
  
• Squirrels in insulation nests, as well as chewing on wood frames.
  
• Opossums living under decks or in crawl spaces.
  
• Skunks digging near foundations & scent marking near HVAC intakes
  
• Bats roosting in attic corners or behind shutters, leaving harmful droppings

All these kinds of animals pose their own risks to health, safety, and property. Dealing with wildlife requires a cautious approach, following all the rules set by Texas state about dealing with wildlife.

How Professional Haltom City Wildlife Removal Works

Wildlife control is not merely about trapping the animal and setting it free. The team from Critter Stop will first conduct a thorough assessment of your attic, roof, foundation, and crawl spaces. We will identify areas where the animal has gained entry, built nests, or caused any kind of damage. One-way valve devices are utilized to facilitate the animal's escape but not their return. In some cases, specialized animal traps are utilized, particularly if the animal is a young one. Sanitizing, repair, and sealing follow as a final procedure.

Our approach involves long-term prevention. A local business near the Haltom Road area saw three occurrences within a year of raccoons entering their premises. Once our expert team corrected the roofline closure, as well as removed any enticing elements within the surrounding property, the issue was taken care of.

Effective Prevention Tips for Haltom City Wildlife Removal Residents

Homeowners can also take measures to avoid having a wildlife issue. Keep trash in enclosed containers and store them away from the house. Cut tree branches from a minimum of six feet from the roof. Check attic vents as well as chimneys, then cover these areas using chew-resistant screens. Never feed pets outdoors. Never feed wild animals. After a huge storm, check areas near roofs. Wildlife is opportunistic. It is much easier to prevent entry than it would be to remove the unwanted animal from inside.
