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

Wildlife Pest Control Baltimore

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Maryland and Baltimore 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 Pest Control Baltimore is a full-service Owings Mills wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Owings Mills pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Pest Control Baltimore 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Pest Control Baltimore. 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 Owings Mills 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 Owings Mills 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 Owings Mills rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Maryland 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 Owings Mills pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Owings Mills 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 Owings Mills trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Owings Mills 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 Pest Control Baltimore does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Pest Control Baltimore. 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 Pest Control Baltimore also provides dead animal removal in Owings Mills. 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 Owings Mills snake removal - most of the snakes in Maryland are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Owings Mills. And remember, we are a private business, not Baltimore County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (410) 887-7297. Baltimore County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Owings Mills Wildlife Tip #1:
Should I hire a pro or remove groundhogs myself?

Groundhogs are nuisance animals that are often found in the garden of urban areas. Their tendency to dig can cause major problems for homeowners. Not only do they destroy your garden, but they are also known to burrow under your porch or home. These elaborate tunnels can cause your garden or even your porch to collapse. If the tunnels are large enough it can cause structural damage to your home or foundation. Groundhogs also chew on everything. This can cause a fire if they chew through wires under your home. They also consume a third of their bodyweight in food every day. This does not bode well for your garden.

Getting rid of them yourself

1. There are a variety of live traps available from your local hardware store. You can also purchase them on the internet. It is illegal to trap and relocate a groundhog in most states. You are expected to kill it once you have trapped it. Relocating it just moves the problem onto someone else's property.
2. Exclusion funnels. This will enable you to remove the offending groundhog from your home and will keep it from re-entering. You will then be able to close off all access points that they were utilizing.
3. Kill traps. There are traps available that will kill the groundhog upon entering. These are not always foolproof and if they do work you will be left with an animal carcass to dispose of.

Getting the help of a pro

It might be advisable to employ a professional to get rid of the problem. It is something you should consider if:

1. If you are unable to trap the groundhog by yourself there are various wildlife removal companies that will be able to assist. They will bring their own equipment and will deal with the carcass.
2. If the animal appears to be hurt you might want to contact a wildlife rehabilitation center. They should be able to send someone to collect the groundhog.
3. If the groundhog is acting overly aggressive or is foaming at the mouth. This might mean it is infected with the rabies virus.
4. Unaccompanied pups. If you find a nest of baby groundhogs, you need to contact a wildlife center. You cannot look after them by yourself.

Phoning animal services

Animal services will not assist in the removal or killing of wild animals. They might be able to give you the contact details of someone who can help you.

Owings Mills Wildlife Tip #2:


Maryland Wildlife Information:

Maryland State bird: Baltimore oriole
State mammal: Thoroughbred, calico cat, Chesapeake Bay retriever
State reptile: Diamondback terrapin
State fish: Striped bass
State insect: Baltimore checkerspot butterfly

Maryland is one of the most diverse states in the country, and it is so unique in its variety of habitats, it has been dubbed "America in miniature". This nickname is due to the fact the state has sand dunes, sea grass, swamps with tall cypress trees, thick oak forests on rolling hills, and mountains covered in pine woods. Despite the multiple ecosystems that exist in Maryland, there are no natural lakes in the state. Glacial activity did not extend into Maryland, and no deep holes were present to hold massive volumes of water. There are numerous natural ponds, but mankind has been forced to make the now plentiful lakes in the state.

Maryland is one of only a few states that have a population of wild horses. No horses in the United States are native; every herd is descended from stock brought over by explorers or settlers when the continent was first discovered. The horses in Maryland are contained on coastal islands. The horses are protected by law, and are allowed to roam free because of their historical relevance.

Horses aren't the only large grazers that aren't native to Maryland. Sika deer were originally introduced to the state, and are now populous enough to warrant a hunting season. The largest native grazer is the American elk, followed by the white-tailed deer.

Maryland doesn't just have large grazers, it also has large predators. Black bear are the most common large predators in the state, followed by coyotes in frequency of sightings. Wolves and mountain lions are much more reclusive but also share territory in the state.

Maryland wouldn't be complete without a list of common animals. Anywhere in the region you can find skunks, raccoons, porcupines, foxes, opossums, voles, moles, woodchucks, fishers, nutria, ermine, and mink. There are also bats, snakes, and a host of amphibians.

Being a coastal state, Maryland has an abundance of marine life, many of which are showcased in the Baltimore Aquarium. The list of marine wildlife includes sperm whales, beaked whales, dolphins, porpoises, humpback whales, and manatees. Of course, with a beach environment comes a large population of seagulls. Seagulls are one of the most problematic nuisance birds for business and homeowners along the coast. Their droppings are highly corrosive and can pose health risks for people.
