Treatment

• Professional Assistance: Hiring a professional pest control company like Hello Pest is the best way to address wildlife infestations. We have the necessary skills and tools to eliminate the problem safely and efficiently.
• Identification: Our wildlife exterminators will identify the specific animal species causing the issue. Correct identification helps them select the most appropriate treatment methods and ensure a targeted approach to removal.
• Trapping and Exclusion: Live traps and exclusion devices are used to safely capture and remove wildlife. Installing barriers such as fences, screens, and netting can prevent wildlife from accessing vulnerable areas like gardens, attics, and crawl spaces.
• Repellents: Wildlife repellents and deterrents discourage wildlife from entering residential and commercial areas. Chemical solutions, ultrasonic devices, motion-activated sprinklers, and natural deterrents like predator urine or decoys can be used to control wildlife infestations.
• Environmental Modifications: You can modify your environment to make it less appealing to wildlife. Removing accessible garbage, pet food, fallen fruit, and bird feeders discourages invading wildlife. Implement landscaping practices that deter deer and protective fencing are other ways to dissuade animals from entering your property.

Prevention

• Secure Garbage: Store trash in durable, wildlife-proof containers with tight-fitting lids to prevent access. Place garbage cans in secure locations and avoid leaving them outside overnight.
• Remove Attractants: Don't give animals an easy dinner. Eliminate food sources that attract wildlife. Keep pet food, bird feeders, and compost piles inaccessible to prevent drawing these pests into your residence.
• Seal Entry Points: Close the openings in your home’s exterior to block wildlife entry. You can use materials like wire mesh, hardware cloth, and caulk to seal entry points around foundations, walls, roofs, doors, and windows. Regularly inspect and maintain these seals to ensure they remain intact.
• Trim Vegetation: Trim trees, shrubs, and bushes away from the home to eliminate wildlife access points and reduce hiding spots. Prune branches and vegetation to prevent wildlife from reaching roofs and attics.
• Install Fencing: Use fencing to protect yards and gardens from wildlife. There are specific fencing materials and designs that can help deter deer, rabbits, and groundhogs. Your fences must be properly installed and maintained to keep wildlife out.
