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

Wildlife & Environmental Solutions
Cell Phone: 740-263-2129

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Tuscarawas County Animal Services: (330) 343-6060

Wildlife & Environmental Solutions specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Ohio also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Wildlife & Environmental Solutions is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 740-263-2129 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Ohio and Tuscarawas County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Wildlife & Environmental Solutions is a full-service New Philadelphia wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular New Philadelphia pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife & Environmental Solutions 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife & Environmental Solutions. 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 New Philadelphia 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 New Philadelphia 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 New Philadelphia rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Ohio 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 New Philadelphia pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is New Philadelphia 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 New Philadelphia trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a New Philadelphia 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 & Environmental Solutions does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife & Environmental Solutions. 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 & Environmental Solutions also provides dead animal removal in New Philadelphia. 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 New Philadelphia snake removal - most of the snakes in Ohio are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in New Philadelphia. And remember, we are a private business, not Tuscarawas County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (330) 343-6060. Tuscarawas County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

New Philadelphia Wildlife Tip #1:


Do rats eat cheese?

Throughout years and many centuries of cartoon television, it has always been stated that a rat's favorite food is "cheese". However, have you ever wondered if this is actually a true accusation or not? How did cartoons actually interpret that rats love cheeses and just eat if when it is available? Most mouse traps do consist of cheese treats at the end of the trap, but is this the real reason rats go to the mouse trap or is it because they are just simply hungry? So many questions can be asked depending on years of accusations, however it may not be fully true as the media has always stated. Rats do tend to think for themselves from time to time, this is why they do not always fall for the mouse trap tactics, especially if they have seen others fall in it before.

They may tend to steal the cheese without actually getting attacked with the mouse trap. But yet again, rats will eat about anything, literally anything when they are starving. They would go the whole way and kill other animals for food, this is why they will defiantly eat the cheese that they found magically one day on the floor. However, if you really want to grab a rat's attention, try putting sweet foods instead of cheese they would absolutely appreciate it more and get more attracted by it. Through studies, it has been noticed that rats do prefer to eat sugary treats over cheese, this is a mile-stone accusation, but it is the sincere truth revolving around this objective.

Do they like cheese?

Rats do like cheese, but as mentioned they would eat about anything when needed to. There bodies will allow them to adapt to any certain diet that is needed, this is why they do not die from food poisoning or the eating of any other animals. This is also why there are objects like "rat poisoning" in the world, because it is known they would just about eat anything they can get their hands one.

Therefore, yes, they do like cheese, but there are other food groups they prefer more than just cheese. This may cause setting up a mouse trap to be even harder than needed but there are other ways to do so. Simply you must know that rats tend to be choosy especially when they have a secure home they are living in and not afraid of actually starving. This is why it is best to buy substances that will either repel the rat before it reaches the mouse trap or to attract it even more and allow it to try and get to the mouse trap. Know the goods that rats like, and there will be an absolute guarantee that they will be gone from your home within days of the process. Sugary treats tend to get mostly everyone in check, therefore it will absolutely help out when catching a rat in the midst of its games!



New Philadelphia Wildlife Tip #2:


Ohio Wildlife Information:

Ohio State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: White-tailed deer
State reptile: Northern black racer
State insect: 7-spotted ladybug

Welcome to Ohio, the state where there aren't many mountains, but there are plenty of forests and fields for animals to enjoy. Not only does this state have a nice mixture of habitats, the landscape is generally universal when it comes to climate. Ohio does occasionally have a tornado, and it can have an earthquake or two, but most of the time the summers are hot and the winters are cold. This climate eliminates some of the heat-loving critters in the southern states, but it does keep those common creatures that live around homes comfortable.

The most common nuisance animals in Ohio are raccoons, snakes, bats, geese, swans, squirrels, woodpeckers, skunks, and opossums. Homes in this state are well-insulated against the cold winters, making them ideal locations of critters that like to climb into an attic. Rats are frequent visitors in the city areas, and homeowners without rats usually have a mouse or two. People living closer to nature, or those with an urban raccoon issue, sometimes find the animals up in the attic. This can be particularly problematic, especially because most raccoons in an attic have a littler of babies nearby. While not as common, the occasional opossum will also invade a home in Ohio from time to time.

Coyotes and black bears rule the food chain in this state, though the bears are less of a nuisance than the intelligent canines. Coyotes will hunt in packs, picking off livestock or entering suburbs where they feed on pets and harass small children. A determined coyote will even climb a fence if it is hungry enough to want the pet inside the yard. The black bears are nuisances mostly at campgrounds or in places where people leave garbage out overnight. The bear is an extremely strong animal, and a secured garbage can lid won't be enough to deter these predators.

In the river valleys, Ohio has a number of industrious beavers, otters, and muskrats. Homeowners living near streams may find themselves suddenly flooded due to a recently constructed dam. For the most part, muskrat concerns belong to the county. Government officials need to worry about dike walls being compromised by the burrowing muskrat. Due to the decent amount of precipitation this state receives annually, semi-aquatic animals tend to thrive in Ohio.

You can always call Wildlife & Environmental Solutions, any time of day, at 740-263-2129, for a price quote for New Philadelphia wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in New Philadelphia, OH.
