Cambridge Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Cambridge, MD

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Cambridge home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Maryland 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 Maryland and Cambridge, and I recommend the following:

Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Maryland and Dorchester County licensed and insured
  • Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
  • Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
  • Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
  • Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste

  • Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore is a full-service Cambridge wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Cambridge pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore 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.

    Cambridge wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Maryland 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 Maryland law. We offer Cambridge raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore. 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Maryland 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 Cambridge pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Cambridge 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 Cambridge trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Cambridge 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. Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore. 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. Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore also provides dead animal removal in Cambridge. 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 Cambridge snake removal - most of the snakes in Maryland are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Cambridge. And remember, we are a private business, not Dorchester County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (410) 228-3090. Dorchester County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Cambridge Wildlife Tip #1:
    How to keep opossums out of my garbage cans

    Opossums are mainly recognized as marsupials. They are also classified as omnivores that they will eat almost about anything. They will eat even your trash just like skunks. They will tip over the trash can and then spread anything that can be found.

    But, even if they have this bad behavior, they are still in general harmless. They will also play dead if there is someone who will approach them. But, of course, you still would want to keep them out of your garbage cans. Below are the following you can do:

    Buy the Materials Needed

    Before anything else, it is essential to buy the materials needed. These materials will include a heavy-sized metal garbage can. This must not be easily torn apart. Or, this must not be easily pushed over. Be very extra careful when it comes to buying this one.

    Get Ammonia and Coffee Can

    You need to get ammonia and coffee can. And then, pour it right into the coffee can. Afterwards, place the can near the trash can. Wait until then that the opossums smell the ammonia. They will instantly look for ways to find a place where they could not smell it.

    Double Bag your Trash

    You need to double bag your trash. This should be done before you place it inside the trash can. This will help in order for them not to smell the old food. Thus, they will not anymore be attracted to the garbage.

    Tie its Lid with the Use of Bungee Cord

    You now need to tie its lid with the use of bungee cord. And then, you need to put the cinder block right above the lid. This will help avoid the opossums from reaching the trash can.

    Eliminate Their Food Sources and Habitat

    It will be essential to include eliminating both their food sources and habitat. It will not only include the trash can wherein they are attracted to. There is also a need to clean up the fruit which has fallen. The shelters should also be included in the things to be eliminated. Their shelter will include open woodsheds, brush piles and woodpiles.

    Now, you already have learned more about how to keep opossums out of your garbage cans. You will no longer worry if ever you noticed that there are opossums in your house. Just be sure to do the following things mentioned above!

    Maryland Wildlife Information:

    Maryland State bird: Baltimore oriole
    State mammal: Thoroughbred, calico cat, Chesapeake Bay retriever
    State reptile: Diamondback terrapin
    State fish: Striped bass
    State insect: Baltimore checkerspot butterfly

    Maryland is one of the most diverse states in the country, and it is so unique in its variety of habitats, it has been dubbed "America in miniature". This nickname is due to the fact the state has sand dunes, sea grass, swamps with tall cypress trees, thick oak forests on rolling hills, and mountains covered in pine woods. Despite the multiple ecosystems that exist in Maryland, there are no natural lakes in the state. Glacial activity did not extend into Maryland, and no deep holes were present to hold massive volumes of water. There are numerous natural ponds, but mankind has been forced to make the now plentiful lakes in the state.

    Maryland is one of only a few states that have a population of wild horses. No horses in the United States are native; every herd is descended from stock brought over by explorers or settlers when the continent was first discovered. The horses in Maryland are contained on coastal islands. The horses are protected by law, and are allowed to roam free because of their historical relevance.

    Horses aren't the only large grazers that aren't native to Maryland. Sika deer were originally introduced to the state, and are now populous enough to warrant a hunting season. The largest native grazer is the American elk, followed by the white-tailed deer.

    Maryland doesn't just have large grazers, it also has large predators. Black bear are the most common large predators in the state, followed by coyotes in frequency of sightings. Wolves and mountain lions are much more reclusive but also share territory in the state.

    Maryland wouldn't be complete without a list of common animals. Anywhere in the region you can find skunks, raccoons, porcupines, foxes, opossums, voles, moles, woodchucks, fishers, nutria, ermine, and mink. There are also bats, snakes, and a host of amphibians.

    Being a coastal state, Maryland has an abundance of marine life, many of which are showcased in the Baltimore Aquarium. The list of marine wildlife includes sperm whales, beaked whales, dolphins, porpoises, humpback whales, and manatees. Of course, with a beach environment comes a large population of seagulls. Seagulls are one of the most problematic nuisance birds for business and homeowners along the coast. Their droppings are highly corrosive and can pose health risks for people.

    You can always call Wildlife Removal Eastern Shore, any time of day, at 443-365-2942, for a price quote for Cambridge wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Cambridge, MD.
