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

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

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Idaho 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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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 Meridian rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Idaho 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. Idaho Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Meridian. 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 Meridian snake removal - most of the snakes in Idaho are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Meridian. And remember, we are a private business, not Ada County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 208-429-6600. Ada County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Meridian Wildlife Tip #1:
Bat exterminator
Bats are classed as a pest, nuisance all the above.Bats can be found living in people's attics or chimneys, swarming around rooves and buildings and giving off a foul odor due to their droppings left everywhere.Bats do not in any way cooperate so beware this is not for beginners. Firstly, you will need to do an inspection in and around your home, so you can see where the bats are getting in. Make sure you have done your research on the different types of bats. There are several species that have different hibernating seasons.It is best not to trap the bats but pursue to scare them out letting them fly out of the house by themselves.

There are a few bat repellants on the market that claim to get rid of bats, but these have not been proven, and the feedback doesn't offer anything positive. There is the ultrasonic bat deterrent that is an improved model of the electronic versions. These are designed to let out sound waves and vibrations that annoy the bats as well as other rodents too.The ultrasonic deterrents don't affect humans in any way and are completely safe for the family. The sounds are known to reach about 30 feet high. Another good deterrent is bright lights. It has been a popular use to get rid of the annoying little critters.Find the bat's entryway and connect up some bright lights through the entryway. Emit some bright lights when they are nesting this will make your home unfavorable and they will soon head off elsewhere.

People will tell you ammonia is a good repellent. It is put in jars and left with the lid off in the attics and rooves. Ammonia actually irritates the bats, and the vapors can burn the delicate parts of their body which is not a humane way to deter them. Fibreglass is another solution that should not be used in attics and ceilings as when the bats do come into contact with the fibreglass they get irritated in their skin not to mention it's very time-consuming.

Naphthalene is a chemical that is legal to use on bats. This chemical can be found in moth balls which can be placed between nesting areas and in the attics etc. This will create an environment the bats cannot live in and poses no threats to you if kept up high away from pets and children that may eat them.There are several home remedies you can find online. However, these don't have much success rate for bats and waste more money than anything else.

Like most things prevent them in the first place will ensure no more bat problems shortly. Bats are hard to move on once they have settled it can be hard to get rid of them things like loud noises and water only temporary rid them, but they will happily return minutes later.

Trial and error will find what bat exterminator type works best for you.

Meridian Wildlife Tip #2:


Idaho Wildlife Information:

Idaho State bird: Mountain bluebird
State mammal: Appaloosa horse
State insect: Monarch butterfly
State fish: Cutthroat trout

A state's agriculture is a big part of its identity in the country, but when it comes to Idaho, potatoes aren't the only thing that the state should be recognized for. Idaho is actually one of the Rocky Mountain states, meaning it has a vast stretch of the infamous range within its boundaries. As a mountainous state, it has an abundance of valleys and raging rivers. Much of the waterways are used for commercial rafting. Not only does Idaho have a claim to fame as far as beautiful mountain peaks go, it has the nation's largest expanse of unadulterated wilderness, the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area. If that wasn't enough, the region boasts the deepest gorge in the United States as well, Hells Canyon. The climate in the state is just as random as the landscape, and the western region experiences significant moisture from the Pacific Ocean. This makes for warm, humid summers and cool, wet winters. The same cannot be said for the rest of the region, which can see considerably drier weather due to elevation.

Animals in the state consist of those loving the valleys and those that love the mountains. Idaho is one of the only states not to have a significant population of black bears. Instead, the state is known for its grizzly bears and mountain lions. The mountain lions are far more reclusive than the bears, and it's been said that one lion has a territory range of 80 square miles. That doesn't mean territories don't overlap, but it does mean you're more likely to see a grizzly bear in the woods. Unlike the black bears in the rest of the nation, grizzlies tend to be more aggressive and more inclined to hunt their dinners. A hungry grizzly won't think twice about harassing a mother mountain lion for her young. If push comes to shove, the mountain lion can win against the bear, but both animals will come out of the deal badly shaken.

Nuisance animals in this state are abundant for the same reason other animals flourish. The region sees issues with small animals like rats, mice, raccoons, opossums, otters, beavers, squirrels, chipmunks, and coyotes. Due to the large expanse of national parks, much of the larger wildlife stays clear of humans.

You can always call Idaho Wildlife Removal, any time of day, at 208-595-3263, for a price quote for Meridian wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Meridian, ID.
