Due to its relatively mild climate, California has a rich diversity of wildlife to be enjoyed when hiking or exploring the outdoors. Unfortunately when this wildlife expands into your home or yard, the diversity may no longer seem so enjoyable. Wildlife trapping Thousand Oaks professionals need to be well trained in the vast array of potential pests who may become unwanted residents. Opossums, skunks, and raccoons are just a few of the possible invaders that may need to be removed from your home or yard.
Opossums
Opossums are a mostly nocturnal creature who have adapted well to living in urban areas. As scavengers, they are drawn to places such as garbage cans, pet food bowls, or bird feeders. They can also make themselves at home just about anywhere, including an attic, chimney, basement, or deck area. Opossums are carriers of disease and can become aggressive when confronted, so it is important to try not to remove one from your home on your own.
Skunks
Skunks are also scavengers who may be attracted to garbage or pet food. They can be carriers of rabies and also can cause a problem due to their odor and spraying other animals. They commonly dig and burrow, and may dig holes in a yard or create a nest under a deck or porch. Trapping skunks requires extra expertise in moderating the risk of spraying when removing them. Professionals who are trained in wildlife trapping in Thousand Oaks should be able to help with this problem.
Raccoons
Raccoons are another creature that is more than happy to make itself at home in your home. It is not uncommon to walk into the house and find a raccoon who has decided to enter your home through the dog door or another entryway. Once inside, raccoons are horrible vandals who may tear through walls, pillage through food, and basically leave a big mess. They also commonly harass pets and may lead to the disappearance of cats or dogs. Raccoons can be extremely large and aggressive, so it is best to get professional help in removing them. There are many regulations involved in wildlife trapping in Thousand Oaks, so it is important that the professional you consult is properly licensed and familiar with the laws surrounding the trapping of that animal. With the right professional you can safely remove pests from your home or yard and return to enjoying wildlife where it belongs—in the wild.
