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

Varment Guard Wildlife Services is a full-service Ross Township wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Ross Township pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Varment Guard Wildlife Services 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Varment Guard Wildlife Services. 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 Ross Township 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 Ross Township 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 Ross Township rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Pennsylvania 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 Ross Township pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Ross Township 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 Ross Township trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Ross Township 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. Varment Guard Wildlife Services does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Varment Guard Wildlife Services. 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. Varment Guard Wildlife Services also provides dead animal removal in Ross Township. 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 Ross Township snake removal - most of the snakes in Pennsylvania are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Ross Township. And remember, we are a private business, not Allegheny County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 412-255-2036. Allegheny County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Ross Township Wildlife Tip #1:


Do rats destroy insulation in an attic?

Attics are usually areas where people tend to abandon most of the time. This can be a huge disadvantage most of the time, especially since most of the house's maintenance should be developed there. Attics usually contain insulations that help the householder set the temperature they want to have in their house at the moment. Therefore, if this objective was to be damaged in any way, then that would cause a huge issue for the house owners. This is why whenever noises are being heard in the attic; appropriate action should be taken at once! Because that noise may be a rat and rats do destroy your insulation within the attic.

How do Rats destroy insulations within the attic?

Rats tend to chew on anything they can get their tiny hands on, whether it is the walls, roof or any other objective within the attic. Therefore, there is a big chance of creating huge hole gaps within your insulation during the time they spend within your attic. Another way they could destroy the insulation is by creating their own nests. The structure of the insulation attracts the rat into creating their home from it. Especially since the material is soft, therefore they will purposely tear many threads of it until they create their own nest with it.

When this occurs huge damage will happen inside the insulation especially since the air will start leaving either beginning or mid-way before completing its initial process. This will cause a major affect on the entire house if it was not fixed immediately. Household members may not take this seriously on have a rat inside their attic but the insulation may be the least of their problem at the time being. Since there are usually a lot of wires concerning the electricity within the attic, therefore rats may be chewing on those as well. Thus causing a huge damage that would actually need to be fixed on spot and cannot lay low for a few days or even hours!

When a rat is living inside your attic, all sorts of ruins can occur. They can chew up on any wires, house utilizes, furniture, even walls. Therefore, once a rat has been discovered, it is always best to get rid of it. However when entering the attic, you must take precautions, because their droppings can be very deadly. Their droppings can cause diseases that may lead to cancer if directly inhaled; this is why protection is always advised. Therefore, seal all getaways and entrances so the rat has nowhere to do. Then set up all the traps that are needed to catch the rat. It can vary from normal snap mouse traps as well as glue mouse traps. However, it is highly advised to always put a piece of food at the end since that will attract the rat faster, in turn, making it easier for you to catch the rat. Once the rat has been taken care of, get the maintenance as soon as possible to fix all the damages.



Ross Township Wildlife Tip #2:


Pennsylvania Wildlife Information:

Pennsylvania State bird: Ruffed grouse
State mammal: White-tailed deer
tate insect: 7-spotted ladybug, Pennsylvania firefly
State fish: Brook trout

You can find a variety of landscapes in Pennsylvania, though the majority of the state is covered in forest. Pennsylvania has a fair amount of flat land and a fair amount of mountainous land. No matter where you go, you are bound to run into wildlife. Warm-loving animals will not be so inclined to live in this state, though the southern region has more mild temperatures than the mountainous north. Because of the slight temperature difference, snakes and amphibians are more populous in the south. Rattlesnakes, one of the venomous snakes in the state, are only found in the lower aspect of Pennsylvania. Smaller snakes, like the garter snake, make their home just about anywhere they can find.

Reptiles aren't the only critters that like Pennsylvania. The state has hundreds of sheltered ponds and lakes, and this promotes a healthy population of beavers, otters, and muskrats. Other semi-aquatic animals include the snapping turtle and the common water snake.

Of predators, Pennsylvania has only two large mammalian carnivores. The black bear and coyote are at the top of the food chain in this state, though there have been numerous sightings of mountain lions over the last decade. The state's Department of Fish and Game adamantly dismisses the rumors, and has been able to disprove most of the sightings. Still, many residents feel there is a breeding population of the large cats somewhere in the state. Black bear, though destructive when they find a bird feeder or an open garbage can, are not seen as commonly as coyotes. There has been a large increase in the coyote population; likely due to almost no predation and ample supply of white-tailed deer and other small game. Because of the abundance of wildlife, coyotes are usually only problematic if they are in an urban area. In this setting, the canines can become bold and dangerous, threatening house pets and small children.

Still, the most popular home invaders in Pennsylvania are of a much smaller size. Raccoons and squirrels are always on the hunt for an empty attic, and rats and mice will take any opportunity to sneak into a home. Woodchucks are just as common and irritating; the stout creatures quickly moving in under unprotected decks and patios.

If homeowners are really unlucky, they will forget to secure their pet door at night and will wake up to find a porcupine has entered the house looking for cat food.
