Wildlife Removal - Sealing off one of the entry points in Point Pleasant
Once I identified the type of wildlife, I knew exactly how to solve the problem. I sealed off the one vent with screening in order to force the squirrels out of only one hole. By directing their access, it is easier to trap and exclude the animals. I then installed a one way door over the remaining entry point, and set three humane box traps in strategic locations on the roof. Wildlife removal is more than setting traps. An experienced wildlife technician is able to identify the movement of the animals, and strategically set traps in appropriate locations. Also, once captured, wildlife can be vicious. There is always the potential for serious injury from bites or clawing when capturing or transporting animals for relocation. In short, nuisance wildlife removal is dangerous business. It's not a DIY project for homeowners and should it be attempted by someone who is inexperienced with wildlife behavior. And it's not just risk of injury. More often than not, the traps are not set correctly and the outcome is unsuccessful.
