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

Pest Animal Removal Louisville is a full-service Jeffersontown wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Jeffersontown pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Pest Animal Removal Louisville 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Pest Animal Removal Louisville. 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 Jeffersontown 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 Jeffersontown 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 Jeffersontown rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Kentucky 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 Jeffersontown pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Jeffersontown 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 Jeffersontown trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Jeffersontown 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. Pest Animal Removal Louisville does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Pest Animal Removal Louisville. 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. Pest Animal Removal Louisville also provides dead animal removal in Jeffersontown. 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 Jeffersontown snake removal - most of the snakes in Kentucky are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Jeffersontown. And remember, we are a private business, not Jefferson County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (502) 473-7387. Jefferson County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Jeffersontown Wildlife Tip #1:
WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE DO PIGEONS CAUSE IN AN ATTIC?

Pigeons love living in an urban area. Have you ever wondered why is that the case? Well, there are plenty of reasons, they can find food water easily, there are less predators and ample space for them to stay. But they can create lot of problems for all house keepers whose house is at target. Pigeons cause lot of damage to the buildings, roofs, ceilings, attic, ventilation, machineries etc. They prefer to find a place which is sheltered and unperturbed and attics fit into both criteria. Here is how pigeons can damage your attic.

Contamination: Pigeons are known for their habit of contaminating the place and the area occupied by pigeons is always stinking. They are carriers of diseases as their droppings contain bacteria and spores. Attic is not a place which is easy to clean and if pigeons have found their home in the attic then it means loads of contamination. Their droppings are not easy to clean and will spoil everything which you have kept in attic. Generally, lot of things which are not required are dumped in attic and all of them are at risk of being damaged due to pigeon intervention.

Tearing of loose materials: The attic generally has layer of insulation material to keep home protected and pigeons can tear that layer and any other material which can be used by them to create nest. So, all those loose materials which are lying in your attic will be at stake of being torn or contaminated. Attics are cosy and thus perfect for pigeons to breed and lay eggs and thus they make their nest by using all those materials which they can find in your attic.

Damage to ceilings: The roof attic also referred to as loft is also targeted by pigeons. The ceilings of not all the houses are steady and the weight of nests of pigeons and accumulated droppings could be too much over time that the ceilings can collapse. Attic area of the home is the one of least disturbed and perfectly sheltered areas of the home and thus targeted by pigeons mostly. The droppings and urine of pigeon can weaken structure and cause bad odors.

Encouraging parasites: Pigeons are not those birds which prefer a clean area. They will spread all the dirt around which will encourage insects and parasites to your place. This can spread diseases such as respiratory diseases as well as skin infections. The air of nesting area of the pigeon spreads in entire house and sends an invitation to their predators as well.

Nest Fire and water contamination: The nest of pigeons is mostly made up of flammable material such as twigs, straws, wood and dried leaves. The attic area generally has numerous wires as it is the foundation area of the home. Pigeons can pull these wires unknowingly and can cause a spark which can ignite the whole area. What if the water tank of your premises is in attic? The waste products of pigeon can enter the water supply of your home infecting everything!

Jeffersontown Wildlife Tip #2:


Kentucky Wildlife Information:

Kentucky State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: Gray squirrel, Thoroughbred horse
State fish: Kentucky spotted bass
State insect: Viceroy butterfly

Kentucky is a state full of rich farmland. It has a relatively flat terrain, but the state has a nice mixture of rolling hills and flat areas covered in bluegrass. The rich vegetation has been the home of some large grazing animals through the centuries, including bison. There are no wild breeding populations of bison within the state any longer, but the country's highest population of elk makes Kentucky their home. At one point in time, the state was also the native land of cougars, red wolves, and gray wolves. All three species have since been extirpated. The only top predators are now coyotes and black bears, though the black bears tend to keep to berries and insects. Some issues have been had with bears becoming too bold around garbage cans or trash sites. In situations like these, the state game commission comes in and moves the offending bear to a new location.

Coyotes are not as commonly picked up and moved, but the canines can cause some issues with farmers if natural food supplies are low. Some resident landowners have taken to introducing llamas into herds of smaller livestock. The llamas are not afraid of coyotes, and the large creatures can easily fend off an attack.

Kentucky tends to have a humid, hot summer and then a cooler, wet winter. The state can reach cold temperatures reminiscent of the Northeast, but those days are few and far between. Because the climate is so varied and the vegetation lush, Kentucky has a fair share of the common nuisance animals in the United States. Homeowners in Kentucky have to do battle with a variety of mouse species. This is due to the thick grasses which cover most of the state. Mice love to be concealed in a thick carpet of grass. Larger nuisance creatures make their home in the state as well, including bats, raccoons, snakes, beavers, otters, porcupines, opossums, squirrels, rats, armadillos, and prairie dogs.

Middle-sized animals thrive in Kentucky bluegrass. The state has a large population of rabbits, followed by a large population of foxes and bobcats. Even in areas where trees are scarce, rabbits and foxes can move through tall grass without being detected. Their burrows are protected from sight, and they are rarely seen by the public unless invading a yard.
