Paducah Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Paducah, KY

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Paducah 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 Paducah, and I recommend the following:

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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Kentucky and McCracken 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

  • Bowling Green Wildlife Control is a full-service Paducah wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Paducah pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Bowling Green Wildlife Control 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.

    Paducah 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 Paducah raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Bowling Green Wildlife Control. 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 Paducah 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 Paducah 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 Paducah 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 Paducah pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Paducah 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 Paducah trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Paducah 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. Bowling Green Wildlife Control does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Bowling Green Wildlife Control. 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. Bowling Green Wildlife Control also provides dead animal removal in Paducah. 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 Paducah 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 Paducah. And remember, we are a private business, not McCracken County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (270) 331-6417. McCracken County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Paducah Wildlife Tip #1:
    Groundhog Repellent

    Talking about one of the most destructive rodents and Groundhog is definitely one of them to include in that list. Also known as woodchuck this wildlife can cause so many destructions in the house and garden that is beyond your imagination. They eat the plant, start digging tunnels and create burrow next to house. Several repellents are available to get them away from the garden and house, while some are natural some of the repellents are available at the stores. All are explained here.

    Kitty litter

    This is a homemade and natural groundhog repellent that can eliminate this pesky wildlife soon. If you have cat at home, try using a kitty litter for the litter box and place the used kitty litter at the garden. What happen here is the dirty and bad smell of kitty litter indicates that there is cat at your home and the groundhogs will try leaving the place soon in fear.

    Scare them with hair

    This rodent is scared of human and their smell, so if you sprinkle some hair, an old cloth or any old shoe in the garden, it will scare them and they will be forced to leave the place.

    Sprinkle urine in the entrance

    Groundhog can't tolerate the smell of human urine and this is why it is one of the best repellents to eliminate these rodents from the garden. Collect human urine in a bottle and sprinkle it in every few days in the entrance of their burrow, they will definitely leave the place.

    Critter Ridder

    This is a chemical product made with spicy pepper the taste and smell of which is not tolerable by groundhogs. It creates a burning like sensation as they touch or smell the product and thus this repellent keeps this wildlife away from the garden.

    Havahart Spray away

    This is an electronic repellent that has a motion sensor and as soon as any woodchuck is detected, it starts sudden burst of water to frighten the rodents. But it should be connected with the water supply to work. There are many other electronic repellents available that make uses of bright light to frighten the groundhogs.

    However it is always best to go for exclusion method to get these rodents out of the garden as most of the repellents are not that effective and it requires reapplication again and again that might not be possible sometimes.

    Paducah 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.

    You can always call Bowling Green Wildlife Control, any time of day, at 270-282-2711, for a price quote for Paducah wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Paducah, KY.
