Nuisance Wildlife in Flint

Bat Removal

Michigan has a thriving population of bats, and Flint is no exception. During the winter, bat colonies roost in sheltered areas such as the upper levels of homes. Bats prefer natural roosting spots, but attic or uncapped chimney will do if other shelter is unavailable. Depending on the time of year in Michigan, colonies in houses may also include young. Since this complicates exclusion, seek professional bat control before sealing entry points.

Not only are bats rabies carriers, they also pollute attics, crawl spaces, and sheds with their infectious waste.

Inspection– Small squeaking sounds. Piles of droppings in one corner of the house or attic. Stains on walls and strong ammonia smell.
Trapping & Removing– Generally you can only remove a bat if it’s in the livable part of your home. Most likely one-way doors will be employed once the bats offspring have reached maturity.
Repairs– Sealing entry points. Disinfecting area under roost from accumulation of guano. 

Tree and Ground Squirrels

Michigan supports both ground squirrels and tree-dwelling fox, gray, and red squirrels. While ground squirrels dig in lawns, tree squirrels may enter homes to raise its young. To get indoors, the pests often gnaw at attic or soffits to enlarge holes.

Inspection– Gnaw marks on, in, or around your home. Small openings to attics or the crawl space. Droppings. Debris like nuts or nesting materials.
Trapping & Removal– Live trapping, deterrents, one-way doors.
Repairs– exclusion services focus on repairing entry points. Removing debris, repairing nest sites, decontaminating droppings and urine.

With easy access to water and food, raccoons thrive. These animals frequent private properties, tipping over trash cans and picking through dumpsters at night to find a meal. Homeowners who awake to find garbage strewn across the lawn or driveway often have a raccoon issue. Attics and chimneys make ideal den sites raccoons. Raccoons can wreak havoc trying to gain entry to your home and cause significant damage creating a den in your attic.

Inspection– looking for footprints in or around home, large openings, raccoon poop
Trapping & Removal– Live trapping most effective and humane
Repairs– Seal all entry points. Restore attic insultation.  Latrine disinfection and clean up.

Michigan’s Summer Pests

Coyotes are a concern throughout Flint during warm weather. Although sightings are rare, the pests cause issues when they hunt and forage for food. Coyotes often tip over trash cans, eat pet food left outside, and even prey on unattended pets.

Woodchucks also pose problems during spring and summer. These pests raid gardens and dig in lawns. Woodchuck burrows ruin landscaping and cause serious damage when the animals tunnel under home foundations. In addition, these large rodents can spread tick-borne diseases to Genesee or Livingston County residents.
