Raccoons can pose significant risks to both property and health. They are known to cause extensive damage to homes and commercial premises in their search for food and shelter, tearing up insulation, destroying ductwork, and even damaging roofs. Raccoons are also carriers of several diseases, such as rabies and raccoon roundworm, which can pose a risk to humans and pets. Their nocturnal habits can result in noise disruptions. For these reasons, removing raccoons promptly and professionally from your property is important.

We employ humane and effective raccoon removal techniques at General's Wildlife Removal. The process typically involves an initial inspection to determine the extent of the infestation and identify entry points. Once we've identified the raccoons' habits and locations, we employ humane trapping techniques to safely capture the animals. After removing the raccoons, we provide exclusion services, which involve sealing off entry points and making necessary repairs to prevent future invasions.

Yes, DIY raccoon removal comes with several potential risks. Raccoons are known to be aggressive when threatened, which can result in injuries.

It's always recommended to enlist the help of professionals to ensure safe and effective raccoon removal.

The length of time required to remove skunks from a property can vary greatly depending on the specific circumstances, including the size of the property, the number of skunks, and the complexity of the infestation.

Yes, taking measures to make your property less attractive to skunks is possible. This can include securing trash bins, fencing in gardens, sealing off potential den sites under decks and sheds, and removing food and water sources. However, no method is 100% foolproof, as skunks can be persistent. At General's Wildlife Removal, we offer professional exclusion services to help keep skunks and other wildlife off your property.

Skunk odor can linger long after the animal is removed, especially if sprayed. We recommend thoroughly cleaning the affected area with hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap. For heavy odors or large areas, professional deodorizing services may be necessary.

It's essential to know that while removing bats from your property is legal, specific regulations and guidelines must be followed. Bats are protected species under many state and federal laws, meaning they cannot be harmed or killed during removal. We recommend hiring a professional bat removal service like General's Wildlife Removal.

Safety should be your utmost priority when dealing with bat infestations. Bats can carry diseases, including rabies and histoplasmosis, which pose a significant health risk to humans. Therefore, it's crucial not to handle bats directly and always to use professional bat removal services. At General's Wildlife Removal, our team uses appropriate protective gear and follows strict safety protocols to minimize health risks.

The best time for bat removal largely depends on the species and their life cycle. However, it's generally best to avoid removal during the maternity season (typically May through August), when young bats cannot fly and might be left behind. Our team understands the behavior and life cycles of different bat species and can advise on the best time for bat exclusion in your specific situation.

While you can technically use traps to catch snakes, we strongly discourage trying to handle a snake problem without professional help. Snakes can be dangerous, especially if they feel threatened. Even non-venomous snakes can deliver painful bites. Additionally, different snake species require different trapping methods and handling procedures, which are best left to the professionals.

Snakes typically lurk in places providing cover and access to prey. They may hide in overgrown plants, beneath rocks or logs, inside sheds or garages, or within cracks in your home's foundation. Unruly stacks of wood or other clutter can also provide a suitable hiding spot. If you locate a snake, never attempt to handle it alone; instead, contact General's Wildlife Removal for professional assistance.

The cost for professional snake removal services can vary based on several factors, such as the size of the snake, the location (inside or outside the property, accessibility), the number of snakes present, and the situation's complexity. Professionals typically assess the situation during an initial consultation and provide a cost estimate. At General's Wildlife Removal, we offer competitive prices and efficient service for your convenience and satisfaction.

Not necessarily. Removal of opossums can create a temporary void in your yard's ecosystem, but this doesn't automatically invite other wildlife to take their place. However, if the conditions that initially attracted the opossum to your property remain unchanged, such as easy access to food and shelter, other wildlife might still be drawn to your home. General's Wildlife Removal provides a comprehensive solution that includes inspecting your property for possible attractions and advising on preventative measures.

While a variety of repellents on the market claim to deter opossums, their effectiveness is often inconsistent. Moreover, relying on repellents alone does not address the root of the problem – why opossums are attracted to your property in the first place. It's more beneficial to focus on removing attractants like unsecured trash cans, pet food left outdoors, and easy access to shelter.

When opossums are properly removed, and measures are taken to secure the property, the chances of them returning are minimal. At General's Wildlife Removal, we go the extra mile to ensure opossums and other wildlife don't find your property attractive. This involves professional exclusion work such as sealing potential entry points and advising on best practices for maintaining a wildlife-free environment.

Yes, in many regions, armadillos are protected under state wildlife laws, which may require a permit for their removal. It's also crucial to understand that removal methods, such as certain traps or poisons, might be illegal in your area. This is why engaging a professional wildlife removal service like General's Wildlife Removal is always advisable. We comply with local and state regulations, ensuring the humane and legal removal of armadillos from your property.

While armadillos are generally non-aggressive, they can become defensive if they perceive a threat to their offspring. This situation also adds an extra layer of complexity to the removal process, as the babies' welfare must be considered.

Armadillos are known to have a strong homing instinct and may try to return to their original burrow after relocation. However, if relocated properly and preventive measures are taken to make your property less attractive, the likelihood of them returning decreases. At General's Wildlife Removal, our team not only focuses on removal but also implements comprehensive strategies to ensure that your property is less appealing to armadillos in the future.
