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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Michigan and Oakland 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

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

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

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

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

    The above are just some of the services offered by Platinum 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. Platinum Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Rochester Hills. 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 Rochester Hills snake removal - most of the snakes in Michigan are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Rochester Hills. And remember, we are a private business, not Oakland County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 313-224-6323. Oakland County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Rochester Hills Wildlife Tip #1:
    Raccoons are considered a primary carrier of the rabies virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), only one human has ever died from the raccoon strain of rabies. Raccoon which is infected would hardly last for one to three days so one should get treatment for it as medication is readily available. A raccoon can be active at day time even and they are not aggressive towards people in the areas. In fact they tend to run away after seeing one. Whereas if one come across a female who is with her kits she might stand their defending them regardless of the fear she is facing. It's very rare that one sees a raccoon chasing a person to threaten him or her. Raccoon that seems to be ill, or shows an unprovoked aggression, may be rabid or infected. If one come across such an animal one should contact the local authorities for professional help. Moreover if one comes across a raccoon in their yard they don't need to be afraid of it because some raccoons are active at day time. One should gauge first whether the raccoon is ill or not before calling for the health department. In order to do so they should look for the things appended below: - Staggering gait - An animal seemingly oblivious to noise or nearby movement - Erratic wandering - Discharge from eyes or mouth - Wet and matted hair on face - Repeated high-pitch vocalization - Self-mutilation - If you encounter any of the above mentioned symptoms than call the local authorizes for further assistance. Raccoon faeces get accumulated in the areas where wildlife was residing for long period of time. One needs to be careful as there would be roundworm eggs in the faeces of raccoon. Moreover, it's better to hire a professional for one's own safety. Because roundworms in the faeces of raccoons have the capacity to infect not only other animals people keep as pets in their house but also humans themselves. So it's better to call the health department for assistance in getting rid of raccoons than trying different repellents above for one's own safety.

    Rochester Hills Wildlife Tip #2:
    How to get rid of possum from the attic - Opossums are the species that tend to eat vegetable and fruits. They are omnivorous that means they also eat other animals. Due to the habit of constant eating they tend to end up residing in areas where the availability of the food is easy. Furthermore opossums end up living in one's house or attic. When they tend to reside in the attic there are certain problems the owner of that house is going to face. For instance one might hear some noise within the attic, there is a possibility of large droppings all around the attic. Spreading of disease is also one of the problems faced by the individual. When the opossum breeds in the attic sometimes due to accidents baby opossums end up into the wall of the attic or at the bottom of the walls of the attic. The basic problem arises if any opossum ends up dying in the wall of the attic because as the body starts decaying it ends up producing such foul smell that it is not bearable for the people living in the house the worse would be if the opossums dies within the wall at the bottom or middle one has to open the wall in order to get rid of the odor. Lastly opossum when ends up residing in the attic, they tend to destroy the ducts of the different air conditions and other insulation machinery in the attic. Due to the above reasons one should make sure that they remove the body of the possum properly from the attic.

    Michigan Wildlife Information:

    Michigan State bird: American robin
    State mammal: White-tailed deer
    State reptile: Painted turtle
    State fish: Brook trout

    Michigan is a state that tends to get bombarded with snow and storms due to its location in the arms of the Great Lakes. The state is also relatively flat, though it has a nice mix of grassland and forest and some moderate hills. Pine trees are numerous in this part of the country, and they provide shelter for the plentiful animals that must survive a long, cold winter. Most of the state experiences a short, warm summer, but it is often filled with storms coming in off the bordering lakes. Due to the long winters and the cooler overall temperatures, most of the animals in this state are ones that are comfortable surviving in poor conditions when food is covered by feet of snow.

    Michigan is densely populated in the regions along the Great Lakes, but it offers a fair share of wilderness areas as well. In these sparsely populated zones you will find large grazing animals like elk, mule deer, and white-tailed deer. These herbivores ultimately draw in predators like cougars, wolves, coyotes, and bears. It's not common for bears to prey on the young of large grazers, but if food is scarce the bears can be agile, dangerous hunters. Such large creatures are not usually the concern of homeowners, even those in rural settings. Wolves and coyotes can be dangerous during seasons when food is limited. Some coyotes will adapt to urban settings. These canines are considered significantly more dangerous than coyotes in the wild. An urban coyote will not hesitate to scale a fence with the purpose of attacking a house pet.

    Large animals, though they can be pests, are not as troublesome as smaller creatures like raccoons and skunks. There are a number of animals that will invade a home. Raccoons, opossums, squirrels, rats, and mice are the most frequent offenders. In Michigan, there are also Indiana bats. These small bats are very rare and disturbing one of their roosts-even if it's in your own home-is illegal.

    Aquatic animals are also found in this state. River otters are very common, along with beavers and muskrats. Michigan has the water shrew, too, a large semi-aquatic rodent that is active at night near streams and lakes, and only has a lifespan of about 18 months.
