When it comes to choosing a wildlife management and pest control company, it’s important to look for a company that not only provides efficient service but is also humane in its treatment of wildlife. While it is often necessary to prevent interactions between humans and certain animals like mice, skunks, raccoons, and others, these creatures do not deserve to be exterminated simply for crossing paths with people. Humane wildlife management also reduces the risk that injured or frightened, and therefore dangerous, animals will be on the loose. 

Find a Company That Practices Humane Eviction 

If wildlife has made it inside the house, removal is the first order of business. This can often be done without injuring the animal through the use of traps designed to contain but not harm the animal. Removal and relocation of the whole family or group units greatly reduces the stress of relocation and makes it far less likely that the animal will come back looking to return to its troop. Humane eviction of wildlife, especially when coupled with exclusion strategies to prevent return, can handle the problem without hurting any animals. 

Ask About Exclusion Systems 

Of course, the best way to deal with wildlife in the home is to make sure they never get inside in the first place. A good wildlife management company will be able to advise a homeowner on exclusion products that will prevent rodents and other animals from entering the home. These can include vent covers, one-way doors, sealants, and a variety of non-toxic sprays or coatings that are designed to repel animals without causing them any harm or posing a risk to the home’s inhabitants.

Many homeowners are bothered by rodents and other household invaders but don’t want to kill the creepy crawlies that have taken up residence in their home. For these individuals, humane pest control is an effective, safe option that removes wildlife from the home without harm. These are some of the humane wildlife control options to consider.

Natural Deterrents

Rodent problems that are relegated to a specific area of the home can often be treated with substances that deter rats and mice from entering. For example, one recipe from PETA recommends applying a solution made from oil, horseradish, garlic, and cayenne pepper to the affected area using a spray bottle. Some find success with ultrasonic devices that emit a high-frequency noise that cannot be heard by humans but will be avoided by rodents.

Trap and Release

Two-door cages are designed for trapping squirrels, rats, and other rodents. These humane pest control devices keep the animal safe but contained, allowing the homeowner to remove the pest from the premises. Experts recommend releasing the rodent more than 100 yards away from the trapping site for effective removal.

Prevention

The best method to prevent an infestation is by keeping rodents from entering the home in the first place. Homeowners should seal any cracks or holes through which vermin can enter, bearing in mind that mice and rats only need an opening the size of a dime and a quarter, respectively. Remove food and water sources that attract rodents to the home.

It’s important for homeowners to immediately deal with a rodent problem. The infestation will get exponentially worse if the animals have a chance to breed.
