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

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

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Removal North Eastern Arkansas. 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 Mountain Home 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 Mountain Home 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 Mountain Home rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal North Eastern Arkansas. 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 North Eastern Arkansas also provides dead animal removal in Mountain Home. 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 Mountain Home snake removal - most of the snakes in Arkansas are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Mountain Home. And remember, we are a private business, not Baxter County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 870-481-5822. Baxter County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Mountain Home Wildlife Tip #1:
Skunk exterminator
If there was ever an animal that you wanted to keep away from your property, it would be a skunk. We all are quite aware of how these animals protect themselves, and having their anal spray launched at you is not something that anyone wants to have happen. This is the most putrid and foul smell imaginable, and will leave your eyes watering and your friends avoiding you for weeks.

The problem with trying to keep a skunk off of your land is that these animals are good both at digging and climbing. They are like a cat when it comes to climbing, as their sharp claws enable them to get a good grip as they work their way up a fence. They also are prolific diggers because of those sharp claws, and can get under a fence that is even up to 12 inches below the surface. That makes the challenge of keeping one of these animals off of your property a whole lot greater.

What that leaves you with is an attempt to terminate the animal, but that comes with its problems as well. When a skunk dies, the muscles around those anal glands release, meaning that the spray that is stored there is released at the same time. By terminating the skunk you have actually created an even greater problem for yourself. It seems like an absolute nightmare, and one that you are hoping that a skunk exterminator will be able to assist you with.

A skunk exterminator would be the perfect solution, as these professionals will know exactly what to do to capture or kill a skunk without it being able to release that horrific spray. However, the challenge comes in finding an organization that offers this kind of service.

The truth is that it is not easy to sneak up on a skunk to capture it, and you already are aware of the risks involved in killing this animal. So, hiring a service to do the job for you is going to cost you. The truth is that a skunk exterminator is not going to come cheap.

Trapping and termination of a skunk costs on average at least $300. That seems like a lot of money to spend, but this kind of service requires a specialized professional who understands the delicacies of capturing and terminating a skunk without leaving your home or property uninhabitable for two or three weeks.

The other part of this is that not every community has an organization that offers this kind of service. You may actually have to hire a business that is located hundred miles or more away from where you are at, which could double your cost.

If you can afford it, there is no doubt that it would be money well spent. The last thing you want is to be heading out to your garbage can one night or let your dog outside and the next thing you know the skunk is spraying this ungodly oil everywhere. You may have to bite the bullet and pay the cost.

Mountain Home Wildlife Tip #2:


Arkansas Wildlife Information:

Arkansas State bird: Mockingbird
State mammal: White-tailed deer
State insect: European honeybee

Arkansas, with its rolling hills, areas of flat plains and fertile soil, is known as 'the natural state'. It is home to a number of impressive landmarks, one of which being the Crowley Ridge, a region of foothills dissecting the Delta plain. The plain is otherwise flat, and the Crowley Ridge is remarkably distinct from a bird's eye view. Though much of the region is flat farmland, the northwestern area of the state is home to the Ozark Mountains, the only major mountain range between the Rockies and the Appalachians. The Ozark Mountains are filled with caves, making them ideal for supporting the state's 16 different species of bats. The summers in Arkansas are warm and humid, and the winters can be very dry but cool. Because of the elevations differences around the state, Arkansas can see significant snowfalls during the winter months.

The state, despite its renowned landmarks and preserved areas of wilderness, once had few large animals that called the place home. Originally, before massive efforts to more toward agriculture, black bears and elk were common. Humans almost wiped both species out, but with intervention from the state, both species have started to thrive once more. The wild hog, which is not native to Arkansas, has help the propagation of another species-the coyote. Coyotes were once considered rare in Arkansas, but with an influx of hogs and rodent species, the canines now have substantial populations in every county of the state. Pocket gophers, one of the most common nuisance animals in this region, are also on the list of food species for intermediate predators.

White-tailed deer, though very common, are not often on the list of prey animals for black bears, coyotes, or bobcats.

Nuisance critters are common in Arkansas. Because bats as so numerous in this state, it's inevitable that homeowners will eventually find bats roosting in an attic or an old barn. Most of the species prefer the quiet of mountain caves, but a human dwelling will do in a pinch. The caves are also home to endangered crayfish and the Ozark cavefish. Mount Magazine, in the Quachita Mountains, is the highest point in the state and is also home to a rare species of terrestrial snail.

Other common nuisance animals in this area of the country include raccoons, opossums, rats, mice, squirrels, foxes, rabbits, moles, skunks, and snakes.
