What problems do wildlife cause?

Most of the calls we get are because homeowners hear animals scurrying around inside the attic or walls. Most of the damage inside a houes or attic is unseen. Rodents like squirrels, mice, and rats often chew on electrical wires. Wildlife such as raccoons, bats, birds, opossums, and rats spread several diseases that humans can and do catch, such as Histoplasmosis, Salmonella, Leptospirosis and more. Many critters leave droppings and urine in an attic or cause mold or odor problems. We also handle animals outside the house. It could be a critter that has dug a large hole next to your house, or a raccoon in your garbage cans, an opossum that is stealing pet food, or a skunk living under your deck, causing an odor problem. Some animals destroy your garden or landscaping. Or perhaps you are simply scared of snakes. Whatever the problem is, our wildlife experts can remove the source of the problem, and prevent it from happening again. We are not a Riverside extermination company, nor pest control.

How To Get Pigeons Out Of Your Attic

Pigeons can become a problem if left unchecked inside your attic. They carry diseases and mites which you can contract, and their droppings, that can be toxic and corrosive, may also carry contractible funguses. For this reason it is important to remove them and promptly. However in certain countries and in most states of the U.S.A. there are environmental laws that prevent the relocation and interference of in-use nests. For this reason, before any Riverside raccoon removal actions are done, it is important to contact the appropriate environmental agency in your country or state and find out the rules and how you can deal with this situation.



Below are the simplest steps that you can follow to remove a pigeon nesting area from your attic humanely.

Step 1:
You will need to have: rubber gloves; a paint-mask; goggles; a bright Riverside snake removal flashlight; a scrubbing brush; dustpan; and bleach (the brush, dustpan and bleach can only be used once the area is cleared of pigeons). It is important to have safety gear when entering the dropping-infested attic to help prevent diseases spreading to you. Also if possible, this is much easier inside the attic, find any holes or gaps ½ an inch (1.27cm) or bigger in size leading into the attic from outside and take down their measurements. If you need to go into the attic it is Riverside rat control recommended that you wait until you have cleared all the adult birds out.

The simplest way to clear out the pigeons temporarily is to either purchase or hire a pigeon-repelling sound or ultra-sound device. Leave it to play for about an hour to two hours in the attic. Switch it off and go inside, after putting on your protective gear. Take a trash bag, and a pencil and paper with. Inside it is important to note how many nests there are, how many nests have eggs and chicks (featherless or near featherless pigeons), and how many fledglings (will look like adult pigeons but be unable to fly) there are. If you haven’t yet been able to get all the measurements of the holes and gaps, or see more, take them down now. While up there you can also take all the unused nests and collect them in the trash bag, be certain they are definitely unused so that you don’t violate any environmental laws. Once this is done leave the attic.

Step 2:
Go to a hardware store or farming outlet and purchase either wire mesh (like chicken wire), a filling-agent, or any solid treated timber or board that can handle being weathered. These items (exclusion tactics) must be cut to size and cover each of the holes or gaps that you noted and measured in the attic by means of staples or nails, so make sure you have enough of either or both of these. Spikes can also be used to block off the unwanted entryways.

Step 3:
Play the Riverside bat removal sound or ultra-sound device again. Once the attic is clear of all adult pigeons, immediately go up (wearing your protective gear) and seal off all the holes and gaps with whichever exclusionary tactic you chose. It is up to you if you want to work with the sound or ultra-sound device on. After all the gaps are securely covered you can leave the attic and switch off the sound or Riverside rodent extermination ultra-sound device.

Step 4:
Once back down in the house, with the attic door closed, contact a wildlife rehabilitation center (National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association – NWRA in the U.S.) and notify them that you had a health risk, which you should have already reported, due to a pigeon infestation in the attic and have now sealed off all the holes and gaps to the outside. Checking your notes let them know the number of nests with eggs and chicks and how many fledglings there are. They should arrive shortly to come and collect the young pigeons and eggs. Sometimes they will leave the eggs as most are not salvageable because they have been without Riverside bird control warmth too long.

Step 5:
The clean-up is where you will need your protective gear, a new trash bag or the same one, the scrubbing brush, the dustpan and the bleach (diluted in a bucket – follow instruction on packaging). The entire attic should be cleaned along with every roof beam. If there are droppings anywhere within 6 feet (1.83m) then it is likely that you will need to clean that spot. Collect all the solid bleached waste and place it in the trash bag. Wait a day for the bleach soaked attic to dry, then, if you like, clean once more to be safe. After the attic is clean and dry a handy little tip that helps prevent any future pigeon infestations in the attic is to place mothballs in it. Because no animals should now be able to enter the attic it is safe to do so, and pigeons dislike the smell. The attic will now remain pigeon free.

One other little note is to make sure that your house is clean of all food and water sources that pigeons could get to. No food. No home. No pigeons.
