Cockeysville Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Cockeysville, MD

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville, and I recommend the following:

Platinum Wildlife Solutions
Cell Phone: 443-356-4241

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Baltimore County Animal Services: (410) 887-7297



Platinum Wildlife Solutions specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Maryland also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Platinum Wildlife Solutions is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 443-356-4241 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2022.

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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Maryland and Baltimore 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

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

    Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Platinum Wildlife Solutions. 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 Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Cockeysville 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. Platinum Wildlife Solutions does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Platinum Wildlife Solutions. 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. Platinum Wildlife Solutions also provides dead animal removal in Cockeysville. 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 Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville. And remember, we are a private business, not Baltimore County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (410) 887-7297. Baltimore County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Cockeysville Wildlife Tip #1:
    What is an opossum's mating habit, when do they have babies, how do they raise their young?

    The mating season for opossums starts during winter, in December, and ends in early November. Most possum babies are born between February and June. A female possum will give birth to at least three litters each year. During the mating season, the male opossum will try attract females by making clicking sounds with his mouth.

    Birthing phases

    Opossums are marsupials and hence they have two birthing phases, the uterus phase and the marsupium phase. During the uterus stage the babies are in the mother's womb attached to the uterus. This stage runs for about 13 days before the babies are delivered. The next stage is the marsupium stage when babies go into the mothers pouch. The marsupium stage lasts for about eight weeks until when the babies can see and walk.

    Opossum litters

    A female opossum usually gives birth to about 20 baby possums. Many of the birthed possums don't make it to their mother's pouch hence die. A mother possums pouch only has 13 tits so the excess possums die out of starvation. In the beginning of the pouch stage the babies are hairless and very small, about 13 grams in weight.

    Raising baby possums

    The sole nutrition for baby possums in their mother's pouch is their mother's milk. After at least 55 days, the babies start crouching form their mother's pouch to the mother's back. This is a crucial stage in the baby possums lives because they learn

    - How to search for food
    - How to avoid predators

    Maturity

    After about three months the baby possums are weaned. After the fourth month they are big enough (between six and nine inches long) to go out on their own. After a few months the baby possums become fully mature adults and start searching for mating partners.

    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.
