If you have a problem with wildlife in your Beaver home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Pennsylvania wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Pennsylvania and Beaver, and I recommend the following:

Varment Guard Wildlife Services

Varment Guard Wildlife Services is a full-service Beaver wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Beaver pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Varment Guard Wildlife Services performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Beaver wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Pennsylvania to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Pennsylvania law. We offer Beaver raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Varment Guard Wildlife Services. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Beaver squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Beaver exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Beaver rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Pennsylvania is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Beaver pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Beaver bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Beaver trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Beaver wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Varment Guard Wildlife Services does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Varment Guard Wildlife Services. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Varment Guard Wildlife Services also provides dead animal removal in Beaver. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Beaver snake removal - most of the snakes in Pennsylvania are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Beaver. And remember, we are a private business, not Beaver County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 724-775-5801. Beaver County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Beaver Wildlife Tip #1:


Do skunks climb trees or fences?

Skunks are at times considered to be relatively scared animals especially since they tend to hide themselves along with their young ones. They do have toxicities smells that can affect anyone and be able to protect it, yet it will implement this as a last resort. Therefore, when they can find shelter, they tend to stick there as much as possible in order for them not to get hurt in the process. Skunks tend to live in ground areas where they find it best to fit their description as a living habitat; however they can be great climbers.

Skunks can climb trees when they feel unsafe on the ground, especially when they are hiding any from something. If a skunk believes that danger is coming their way, they tend to hide up, believing that nothing can harm them since they are way up to the sky. This may be true at most times since no one would suspect to take a look in the trees, especially when there are so many. However, they do not prefer to climb since they are more into ground animals but tend to do so when needed to.

Skunks tend to climb fences when they want to get from one part of the area to the other part. This would mean that a fence is in the middle blocking these two locations, therefore they will climb it with no problem. They can enter any location through climbing the objective ahead of them as long as it is not high. Some people may find this fact a bit contradicting especially since they are able to climb trees. However keep in mind that trees have branches, twigs and the structure of the tree itself helps make the climbing much more easily not just for a skunk but for any other animal or person.

The important fact is to note that skunks can and will climb when needed to. Yes, they do not prefer it most of the time but they will do what they have to in order to survive. Even if this means they have to climb through big lengths, because they can actually climb with no issues. They tend to believe climbing is part of their survival skills especially if they need to climb a certain fence to get into your home. They will absolutely do so, therefore just because your house may contain fences, it does not mean that you house will be a skunk free zone. Because skunks do love to stay on ground but they will climb fences, yards, small walls in order to get to the area they have been so desperately seeking to enter. Once they have entered the location they need to, they will mark their own shelter within that region.

Their shelter will most likely be on the ground since they already went through the climbing hassle. Thus, always keep in mind that in order to be best safe from skunks is to have routinely check ups to make sure they are not on your property, because walls will not simply stop them from entering."



Beaver Wildlife Tip #2:


Pennsylvania Wildlife Information:

Pennsylvania State bird: Ruffed grouse
State mammal: White-tailed deer
tate insect: 7-spotted ladybug, Pennsylvania firefly
State fish: Brook trout

You can find a variety of landscapes in Pennsylvania, though the majority of the state is covered in forest. Pennsylvania has a fair amount of flat land and a fair amount of mountainous land. No matter where you go, you are bound to run into wildlife. Warm-loving animals will not be so inclined to live in this state, though the southern region has more mild temperatures than the mountainous north. Because of the slight temperature difference, snakes and amphibians are more populous in the south. Rattlesnakes, one of the venomous snakes in the state, are only found in the lower aspect of Pennsylvania. Smaller snakes, like the garter snake, make their home just about anywhere they can find.

Reptiles aren't the only critters that like Pennsylvania. The state has hundreds of sheltered ponds and lakes, and this promotes a healthy population of beavers, otters, and muskrats. Other semi-aquatic animals include the snapping turtle and the common water snake.

Of predators, Pennsylvania has only two large mammalian carnivores. The black bear and coyote are at the top of the food chain in this state, though there have been numerous sightings of mountain lions over the last decade. The state's Department of Fish and Game adamantly dismisses the rumors, and has been able to disprove most of the sightings. Still, many residents feel there is a breeding population of the large cats somewhere in the state. Black bear, though destructive when they find a bird feeder or an open garbage can, are not seen as commonly as coyotes. There has been a large increase in the coyote population; likely due to almost no predation and ample supply of white-tailed deer and other small game. Because of the abundance of wildlife, coyotes are usually only problematic if they are in an urban area. In this setting, the canines can become bold and dangerous, threatening house pets and small children.

Still, the most popular home invaders in Pennsylvania are of a much smaller size. Raccoons and squirrels are always on the hunt for an empty attic, and rats and mice will take any opportunity to sneak into a home. Woodchucks are just as common and irritating; the stout creatures quickly moving in under unprotected decks and patios.

If homeowners are really unlucky, they will forget to secure their pet door at night and will wake up to find a porcupine has entered the house looking for cat food.

You can always call Varment Guard Wildlife Services, any time of day, at 412-329-4751, for a price quote for Beaver wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Beaver, PA.
