This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems.

Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson is a full-service Dyersburg wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Dyersburg pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson. 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 Dyersburg 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 Dyersburg 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 Dyersburg rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Tennessee 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 Dyersburg pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Dyersburg 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 Dyersburg trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Dyersburg 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 Trapping Professionals of Jackson does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson. 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 Trapping Professionals of Jackson also provides dead animal removal in Dyersburg. 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 Dyersburg snake removal - most of the snakes in Tennessee are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Dyersburg. And remember, we are a private business, not Dyer County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (731) 285-4889. Dyer County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Dyersburg Wildlife Tip #1:
Are Skunks Able to Climb Fences?

Skunks keep on invading human habitat at most of the urban and suburban locations of the United States. These creatures have a bad temper especially when they get surrounded by predators and humans. If they feel threatened or unprotected, they can use their defensive weapon to save their life. Yeah! We are here talking about the odorous spray that they can spray on a target standing at a far distance of 15 to 18 feet as well. Skunks are nocturnal creatures, so you will rarely find them wandering around in the day hours. Most of the farmers are in trouble due to skunk attacks as they invade the premises in night hours.

The baby skunks are generally sweet and attractive by looks, but it doesn't mean that you should allow them to visit your premises. Also, due to many legal issues, it is not good to keep them as a pet. Government agencies also care for skunk health; humans are not allowed to trap, harm or kill them. There is no doubt to say that skunks are very clever animals. They are able to run faster when getting scared of some enemies around, and these creatures are capable enough to climb the trees and fences around. When they feel threatened, they try to protect themselves by releasing the terrible odor.

In case if skunks have entered your premises, it is important to take immediate steps to get rid of them as soon as possible. Although humans are afraid of their terrible spray, it doesn't mean that you cannot find any suitable way to scare them away. There are a few trustworthy techniques that can be used by anyone to deal with the skunk attacks. If you let them move away, they will even climb up on the trees, and then you will find it difficult to get them down. Some people think of installing fences to keep skunks out of the premises, but the terrible fact is that these creatures are skilled enough to climb fences. So, you must look for a few other methods to get rid of them from your premises.

Many residents in the United States are in trouble due to frequent visits of skunks and their odorous spray. Once these animals get inside by climbing the fences, they look for some darker corners around to build dens; the preferable targets are porch, sheds, attic, and barns. You may have to use some reliable procedures to scare them away from these areas. One of the commonly used technique to keep skunks away from these areas is by placing a rag in the bowl containing liquid ammonia solution. It is believed that the strong smell of ammonia can repel skunks, but you may have to reapply this solution after some time as the odor keeps on decaying. Also, prefer to clean your garbage cans in a routine so that skunks do not find anything attractive in your property. Garbage boxes must be kept empty in the night hours to avoid skunks.

Dyersburg Wildlife Tip #2:


Tennessee Wildlife Information:

Tennessee State bird: Northern mockingbird, bobwhite quail
State mammal: Raccoon
State reptile: Eastern box turtle
State amphibian: Tennessee cave salamander
State fish: Largemouth bass, channel catfish
State insect: 7-spotted ladybug, European honeybee

Tennessee sometimes gets a reputation for being a land of nothing but flat fields and farms. This is untrue, and comes from the fact it transitions to the center of the country where states like Kansas really are primarily flat farmland. Tennessee is, in fact, full of mountains and lush valleys, having a number of mountain ranges including the Appalachians and the Smokey Mountains. The summers are typically hot and humid, but higher elevations can be quite cold in the winter with significant snowfall. A number of animals make their homes in this state, enjoying the warm weather and comparably milder winters.

This state is actually known for its salamander population in the Smokey Mountain National Park. With over 30 species of salamanders in five different families, the park is considered the salamander capital of the world.

Not surprisingly, since it is the state mammal, raccoons are one of the top nuisance creatures in Tennessee. The masked garbage-raiders are right at home in the state's forests, eventually moving in to invade human homes when it's time to have a family. Homeowners in Tennessee also have to worry about skunks, bats, beavers, muskrats, woodchucks, squirrels, and opossums.

Armadillos also make short work of people's yards. The armadillo, while a quiet and docile animal, is very destructive when it decides to search a yard for grubs, bugs, or worms. Thankfully, these critters are easy to trap, and some areas of Tennessee consider them a delicacy. People must be careful consuming armadillo meat as it can carry leprosy. Despite the concern, there are a number of ways to cook the creature, and most recipes favor the BBQ.

Campers can attest to evidence of the larger animals in Tennessee. Black bear are very common in the mountains, and these large predators can grow to be over 500 pounds. Second to the black bear only in size are the cougars. These large cats are incredibly smart, and very dangerous if they decide to stalk human prey. A problematic cougar can watch a person for days while formulating a plan of attack. Wolves and coyotes are also top carnivores, though wolves are small in number, having just been reintroduced into the state back in the early 1990's.

You can always call Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson, any time of day, at 731-506-4770, for a price quote for Dyersburg wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Dyersburg, TN.
