If you have a problem with wildlife in your Parkersburg home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in West Virginia wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems.

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

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

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

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

The above are just some of the services offered by ACS 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. ACS Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Parkersburg. 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 Parkersburg snake removal - most of the snakes in West Virginia are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Parkersburg. And remember, we are a private business, not Wood County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (304) 422-5541. Wood County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Parkersburg Wildlife Tip #1:
Prevention or live trapping? - Bats are in actuality good by way of wings. They can get into the negligible alcove and crannies of your quarters.

The greatest have a break to deposit up is your top story or covering. So probably live trapping good. . The normal disposition of many people will be to ensnare these animals or smooth to attempt plus carnage them, but in many position this is more possible to grounds more troubles rather than answer them. There are state of affairs in which it is probable for bats to find a system into the roof liberty of a familial assets, and in this position they can often provide evidence to be a raucous But prevention is easy and better for us in order to have a out of harm's way life. Duct tape - Next, situate up a minute bat residence next to the chief exit top. Bat houses can be acquire at hardware provisions, online or you can put up one of your hold. Let it stay at hand for at slightest one week to generate bats old to their new residence.

This will consent to them to get nearer out but will not consent to then go flipside in.

Parkersburg Wildlife Tip #2:
Attic restoration - After removing critter waste, the attic fogging is required. Regardless of one's effort of cleaning the place yet a lot of waste is left behind. This waste is not only the nesting material but it also includes fur of the habitant, different pathogens such as fleas and ticks. Moreover, odor of the waste material tends to attract other animals and molds grow on this waste material. Fogging means cleaning the areas by using a mist generated by atomized mist machine which sprays a biohazard cleaner made by different enzymes. These enzymes target the organic matter and kill them without destroying the surface they are on. This mist not kills the diseases but also digest grease of animals. This leads to destroying any kind of odor left behind by those animals which could work as an attraction for other wildlife may they be the same of their predators. Once done with fogging than the prevention process starts. One needs to close all the holes or other areas used by wildlife to enter such as ventilators pluming stacks in the roof from where there is a slightest indication of wildlife entering again. Proper sealing should be used at the roof to control this problem along with applying the same technique at the base of the house too so that wildlife can't use that way for entering the attic. Furthermore, one should use different traps for wildlife on the roof so that before they can cause damage to the property they are caught and removed easily from the place. In order to set the trap few basic things should be kept in mind for instance the type of animal the trap is set for, bait, location and the integrity of the device. Thus proper training and guidance will help an individual to restore his attic to its original condition.

West Virginia Wildlife Information:

West Virginia State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: Black bear
State reptile: Timber rattlesnake
State fish: Brook trout
State insect: European honey bee

West Virginia is almost entirely mountainous and is referred to as "the mountain state". It lies in the Appalachian region, which is the reason for all the changes in elevation. The lack of flat land has made this state less populous that it might otherwise be. The region has large lakes and beautiful hardwood forests comprise of oaks, maples, American sycamore, and chestnut. The climate is predominately warm and humid. The winters are short but can be wet, and the higher elevations see a significant amount of snowfall. Animals in the state are often encountered because of how close people live with nature among the hills.

There are numerous small animals, and with most homes nestled in the woods, pest issues are very common. People in West Virginia have issues with rats, mice, raccoons, skunks, opossums, porcupines, woodchucks, squirrels, wild boars, and foxes. The wild boars, while nuisances, were deliberately brought into the state and have since developed breeding populations. The boars have begun to migrate north, becoming unwelcomed visitor as far up as New York State.

While the boars were brought in to the state, heavy hunting and deforestation have eliminated many different native animals. West Virginia no longer has populations of elk, gray wolves, or bison. At one point in time, beavers, river otter and fishers were also eliminated, but these species have since been reintroduced. It has taken many decades, but there are substantial populations now in the wild. The largest predator in the state is the black bear. While these animals could easily take down a deer if they were so inclined to catch one, they prefer to go after less active prey-like berries and insects. Black bears can be particularly problematic for homeowners looking to have birdfeeders in their yards.

While most states have some stray cats and dogs, West Virginia has feral populations in the wild, which is uncommon for once-domesticated creatures. The long, warm summers and ample forests allow these animals to continue to thrive and breed away from humans. In addition to the wild cats and dogs, there is a breeding population of feral goats. The goats and the wild boars are good food for middle-level predators like coyotes. Bobcats will rarely take on an adult boar, but the cats are easily able to pick up a baby and carry it into a tree where the mother cannot retrieve it.
