Dearborn Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Dearborn, MI

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

Frank's Wildlife Removal
Cell Phone: 248-230-2195

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Wayne County Animal Services: 313-943-2079



Frank's Wildlife Removal specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Michigan also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Frank's Wildlife Removal 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 248-230-2195 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 2020.

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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Michigan and Wayne 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

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

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

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Frank's Wildlife Removal. 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 Dearborn 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 Dearborn 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 Dearborn rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Michigan 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 Dearborn pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Dearborn 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 Dearborn trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Dearborn 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. Frank's Wildlife Removal does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Frank's Wildlife Removal. 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. Frank's Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Dearborn. 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 Dearborn snake removal - most of the snakes in Michigan are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Dearborn. And remember, we are a private business, not Wayne County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 313-943-2079. Wayne County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Dearborn Wildlife Tip #1:
    How to remove bird from soffit

    When a bird occupies the soffit, its movement in and out of it produces loud noises that may make you think that it is a very large animal living there. The noise is so destructive that you need to evict that bird as soon as you can. Below are some ways of removing the bird from the soffit.

    Common signs identifiable when birds get into the soffit

    Below are just but a few complaints that people make when birds get into the soffit areas.

    1. Chirping noises and movements in the attic
    2. Birds in the gutter
    3. Storm damages as the bird enter and live the soffit areas
    4. Nesting sticking out of the soffit

    Removing the bird from the soffit

    There are different ways of removing a bird from the soffit. It is actually very easy if the adult bird does not have young ones yet or have not habited the area for a long time. Below are some methods that you can use to evict the bird from the soffit area.

    1. Hitting the area with an object. This is a sure way of scaring the bird away. It is even easier if the bird living there has no young ones. But if it does, use your hands to remove them from there. Remove their nesting too and seal the entry hole.
    2. Waiting for the bird to leave and sealing the entry hole. Observe the bird. Identify the time that it leave for hunting. When it is out, check the soffit area for presence of young. If any, remove them and seal the entry hole.
    3. Use of deterrents. Look for the best deterrent to keep the bird away. The deterrent had better be harmless to the bird. Killing it is no option.
    4. Installing a one way out funnel at the entry hole. The bird will need to go out in search of food and mate. The one-way funnel will only allow it to get out but it will never access the soffit area ever again.
    5. Consult a professional. If the above methods fail to work, consult a professional near your area. It might not even be a bird for that matter. Always leave what you cannot do to the experts.

    Conclusion

    Unlike evicting a bird from other areas, evicting it from soffit areas is quite easy. You just have to know the location of the bird, its entry hole and its behaviors. Then apply any of the above methods based on this.

    Michigan Wildlife Information:

    Michigan State bird: American robin
    State mammal: White-tailed deer
    State reptile: Painted turtle
    State fish: Brook trout

    Michigan is a state that tends to get bombarded with snow and storms due to its location in the arms of the Great Lakes. The state is also relatively flat, though it has a nice mix of grassland and forest and some moderate hills. Pine trees are numerous in this part of the country, and they provide shelter for the plentiful animals that must survive a long, cold winter. Most of the state experiences a short, warm summer, but it is often filled with storms coming in off the bordering lakes. Due to the long winters and the cooler overall temperatures, most of the animals in this state are ones that are comfortable surviving in poor conditions when food is covered by feet of snow.

    Michigan is densely populated in the regions along the Great Lakes, but it offers a fair share of wilderness areas as well. In these sparsely populated zones you will find large grazing animals like elk, mule deer, and white-tailed deer. These herbivores ultimately draw in predators like cougars, wolves, coyotes, and bears. It's not common for bears to prey on the young of large grazers, but if food is scarce the bears can be agile, dangerous hunters. Such large creatures are not usually the concern of homeowners, even those in rural settings. Wolves and coyotes can be dangerous during seasons when food is limited. Some coyotes will adapt to urban settings. These canines are considered significantly more dangerous than coyotes in the wild. An urban coyote will not hesitate to scale a fence with the purpose of attacking a house pet.

    Large animals, though they can be pests, are not as troublesome as smaller creatures like raccoons and skunks. There are a number of animals that will invade a home. Raccoons, opossums, squirrels, rats, and mice are the most frequent offenders. In Michigan, there are also Indiana bats. These small bats are very rare and disturbing one of their roosts-even if it's in your own home-is illegal.

    Aquatic animals are also found in this state. River otters are very common, along with beavers and muskrats. Michigan has the water shrew, too, a large semi-aquatic rodent that is active at night near streams and lakes, and only has a lifespan of about 18 months.

    You can always call Frank's Wildlife Removal, any time of day, at 248-230-2195, for a price quote for Dearborn wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Dearborn, MI.
