In Virginia, nuisance wildlife often includes raccoons, squirrels, bats, and other animals that may invade properties. While they are usually harmless when outside, Connor’s Pest Pros says that many of these animals can cause costly property damage and introduce dangerous pathogens or parasites into the home, creating health risks for residents.
However, experts discourage homeowners from attempting to remove nuisance wildlife from their properties on their own, as wild animals are unpredictable and can be dangerous when threatened. The Wildlife Center of Virginia adds that inexperienced individuals who relocate animals may inadvertently introduce them into an area they are unfamiliar with, rendering them unable to find food and shelter and leading to their deaths; additionally, a different animal may take advantage of the vacated territory, creating ongoing issues for the homeowner.
Moreover, trapping animals without a license is illegal in Virginia and many other states, and individuals who are caught are subject to fines and legal action.
Licensed wildlife control companies like Connor’s Pest Pros have the knowledge and permits to relocate animals and ensure proper exclusion methods are in place on the property to prevent additional infestations. The company’s services begin with an inspection, which includes species identification, as well as identification of entry points and nesting areas. Technicians will then apply exclusion methods, including physical barriers, and remove any attractants on the property to make it less appealing for other wildlife.
Once exclusion work is completed, Connor’s Pest Pros will begin the process of relocation. The company employs strategies like live traps, one-way exclusion devices, and direct capture to humanely remove the animals from the residence. Depending on the severity of the infestation, removal work may require follow-up appointments before all nuisance wildlife is cleared.
