Raccoon Removal in Sedalia

Raccoons are abundant in Sedalia as they are in almost all regions of the country. These opportunistic animals favor attics for their residence because of the continuous exposure to food from residential trash and local chicken coops. Signs of a raccoon living in your attic that an inspector is likely to find are torn insulation, raccoon feces and urine, and the possibility of kits if the inspection takes place between spring and fall. One-way doors and humane cage traps are used to get rid raccoons. If kits are present, a wildlife rehabilitation center is called in to take care of them.

Squirrel Removal

Squirrel Removal

The flying squirrels, Eastern grey and fox squirrels are the most popular species in Sedalia. All squirrels are rodents, and they can wreak havoc in a short amount of time. Hazards due to their activity include electrical fires, torn insulation, and the transmission of diseases. The best squirrel control is to install exclusion after implementing a trapping process.

Live trapping or one-way doors are the most effective and humane ways to get rid of squirrels. One-way doors should never be used during birthing seasons (Spring & Fall), so our specialists will decide which is the best tool for the job. If we have to trap, we place traps strategically to safely catch the squirrels and check those according to state laws.

bats in attic in Central MO

Bat in Attic Removal

Bats may move into attics during any season. They often enter houses through uncapped chimneys, holes in roofs, or open doors and windows. Indoor roosts are dangerous since bat droppings can contain a certain type of mold. If inhaled, spores may lead to the respiratory disease histoplasmosis.

The most effective and humane way to remove bats is by utilizing a bat valve in conjunction with a full home exclusion. A bat valve allows for bats to exit your home but not re-enter. We follow all local ordinances for humane bat removal. We will never abandon flightless pups in your attic.

Mole Control in Missouri

Moles typically go unnoticed until runaways or mounds are spotted in the yard. Over time, moles disturb grass and plant roots, stunting vegetative growth. Primarily carnivores that feast on earthworms, grubs, and other dangerous insect invaders. Their tunnels cause damage to lawns, gardens, golf courses, and pastures. Mole activity can turn grasses unsightly shades of brown and even prevent planted vegetation from becoming securely rooted into place.

Eliminating moles is tricky and best left to professionals. Attempting to control either species can be time-consuming and expensive. You must identify the main tunnel, use proper bait for the traps, and check them often! It is not feasible to exclude these animals from an entire yard, but we can protect gardens and landscaping. 

Central MO Mouse Control

Mouse Control

Mice are found in every urban area throughout the world and have unfortunately become quite comfortable living among people. They scurry around in your walls and kitchen at night, looking for food to eat and take back to their nest. If you see rodents in your home or office during the daytime, it is because the population has become large.

A Critter Control wildlife specialist will create a strategic trapping plan to remove the rodents found in your home. Critter Control specialists may use snap traps and live traps to capture and remove mice. Mouse trapping can usually take between five to fourteen days.

After identifying the bird species, we may start by physically removing the species in question. In rescue situations, such as chimneys or basements, birds can be released on-site if the entrance has been secured properly. Occasionally, live traps will be used, especially if flocks of birds are involved. For persistent birds and larger flocks, several advanced techniques may be applied simultaneously including spikes, mylar tape, scare tactics, and more.

Pigeon Control in Sedalia

Pigeons are common residents of industrial facilities, which provide countless roosting and nesting areas for the birds. Many of the high ledges and nooks pigeons prefer are inaccessible to people, but – even high up – the birds create a hazard because their droppings often fall onto walkways and work surfaces below.
