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

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Connecticut and Hartford County licensed and insured

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

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

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

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Connecticut 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 Granby pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Granby 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 Granby trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Granby 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 Hartford does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal Hartford. 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 Hartford also provides dead animal removal in Granby. 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 Granby snake removal - most of the snakes in Connecticut are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Granby. And remember, we are a private business, not Hartford County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 860) 653-5385. Hartford County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Granby Wildlife Tip #1:


Are Squirrel Good Pets?


Squirrels are one of the common nuisance animals that you will encounter in your backyard. It can be found to watch them scampering around. Some people may think that squirrels could be an adorable pet. Squirrels are wild animals and will not be good to keep as domesticated animals due to an array of reasons. Though they may look cute and cuddly, you should still consider the factors we will mention below before you even decide to take them as pets.

Are Squirrels Messy?

You will be shocked at how a tiny creature can turn your house upside down. It would be difficult to train them to use the litter box. They will leave their urine and droppings in different areas of our house. Cleaning them takes a considerable amount of effort. You need to decontaminate them since they can be infected with bacteria that can lead to disease transmission. They have destructive habits. Their incisors will grow continuously and they need to chew tough objects incessantly to wear them down. They will chew on our walls, electric wires, wooden beams, books, etc.

Is Owning Squirrel Legal?

Depending on the state where you live, it may not be legal to have a squirrel in possession within 48 hours without the required permit. In places where it is allowed, you would at least need to show that the animal has not been taken forcefully into the wild. However, since there is no existing squirrel trade, you may not be able to present the right document and the squirrel will be taken away from you. Apart from losing your beloved pets, you may also have to deal with legal repercussions and fines.

Is Owning Squirrel Inhumane?

Squirrels are not domesticated animals and taking them from their natural environment is simply inhumane. Wild animals require space and freedom, the process needed to domesticate them will put too much stress on their path. Remember that even dogs and cats took thousand years before they became perfect pets. With so much effort, resources, and patience needed, some of you will eventually resign to the fact that dogs and cats are better pets. You will probably release the squirrel back into the wild but since they lack the skills to survive in that harsh environment, they may soon die.

What Should I Do If I Found a Baby Squirrel?

If you happen to find a baby squirrel in your house, call the wildlife rehabilitators instead of trying to rehabilitate it on your own. You can also ask a technician from the wildlife removal company, they have the knowledge and tools needed to remove the animal humanely from your home. Animals have special needs and you may not be able to provide that. Remember that despite their cute appearance, this animal belongs in the wild.

In the 18th century, people tried to take squirrels as pets. You may even see them on the old family portrait. Later on, they realized how challenging it is to tame them, and care for them. They can cause severe damages with their razor-sharp claws and teeth. They can also transmit zoonotic illnesses. You need to think twice if you are planning to take them as pets.

Connecticut Wildlife Information:

Connecticut State bird: American robin
State mammal: Sperm whale
State fish: American shad
State insect: European mantis

Connecticut is a small state in the nation, and despite being technically on the coast of the country, it does not have an ocean border. The state is connected to the Atlantic Ocean through Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound, but has no actual sea coast of its own. The majority of the state was originally wooded, though areas of farmland have since been cleared. The forests are full of broad-leaved trees with a mixture of coniferous woodland, and there is a steady rise of terrain to the mountains in the northwest. Summers in the state are warm to hot, and winters are cold; the ocean mediates temperatures and moisture content in the atmosphere.

The state does not have a huge variety of large animals. The moose is the dominate creature on land in size, and it is the only large grazer aside from white-tailed deer. A subspecies of the white-tailed deer, called the key deer, grow to be only 3 feet tall and weigh up to 80 pounds. This subspecies is protected due to dwindling numbers. The key deer are easy targets for coyotes who roam the forested regions of the state. Black bears are also present, but the bears rarely take to hunting down large prey. Black bears spend much of their time foraging for fruits and insects, or raiding easy meal locations like birds' nests. The state has a healthy population of bobcats that keep the numbers of smaller animals manageable.

As in most states of the Northeast, Connecticut has a variety of forest-dwelling critters that hold the potential to become pest animals. Raccoons, skunks, opossums, rats, mice, bats, gophers, woodchucks, weasels, minks, and beavers are all occupants of the state. Connecticut has lemmings, small, elusive rodents that have gotten a reputation for mass suicides. These communal death marches are a misnomer; the lemming will sometimes migrate in numbers during the breeding season. Because the animals are good swimmers, they will often attempt to cross waters where a significant number of them drown. They are not throwing themselves off cliffs for no apparent reason.

Though access to the ocean is had by way of a protected region of water, Connecticut has a number of marine animals including manatees and harbor seals.
