How to Safely Remove Raccoons, Squirrels, and Skunks

Investigating the intrusion of the wild animals, such as the raccoons, squirrels, or skunks in your place is not only inconvenience but also a possible hazard to your health, safety, and property. These animals might appear innocent but they are major structural hazards, disease carriers and unsanitary habitats. We are of the opinion that at Speedy Pest Control, we have rapid, secure, and humane processes of removing wildlife which are very safe to your family and the ecosystem.

Understanding the Problem

Examples of the most found nuisance wildlife species in cities and suburbs include raccoons, squirrels and skunks. They are resourceful, opportunistic, and adaptive- it is hard to eliminate them without taking any risks and this situation is not easy to handle by untrained people.

Raccoons: Raccoons are known to enter attics, garages, and chimneys and root around in trash as well as chewing through insulation to find nesting areas. Their feces could be filled with roundworms and other dangerous pathogens.

Squirrels: Squirrels are small but cause so much destruction by chewing electrical wires, walls and insulation. This may cause costly damages and even burning in case of negligence.

Skunks: Skunks are known by their strong scent, and they usually dig tunnels underneath porches, decks, sheds, etc. Other than smell, they also have the ability to spread rabies as well as pollution of soil with their droppings.

All these animals have various threats, yet they all need urgent intervention by skilled people.

Risks of amateur Wildlife Removal.

Most house owners will go about trapping and scaring these animals themselves, however, this is a dangerous and ineffective technique. The removal of wildlife needs familiarity with the behavior of animals, safety recommendations, and local trapping rules. That is why home-made solutions might be counterproductive:

Aggression and Injury: Aggression takes place when cornered animals are threatened and they may attack. Especially raccoons and skunks may be extremely violent in cases where they are in danger.

Health Hazards: Use of wildlife without proper protection exposes one to saliva, urine and faeces that may contain parasites or diseases such as leptospirosis and distemper.

Trapping errors: The incorrect type of trap or bait could also result in injuries to the animal or lead to his escape. Additionally, it is against the law of most jurisdictions to release captured wildlife in unauthorized places.

Smell Problems: Skunks emit a smell in order to defend themselves. Bad handling will guarantee that the bad smell will stick around your living environment weeks.
