If you have a problem with wildlife in your San Tan Valley home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Arizona 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 Arizona and San Tan Valley, and I recommend the following:

PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL
Cell Phone: 480-676-3285

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Pinal County Animal Services: 520-509-3555

PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Arizona also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Arizona and Pinal 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



PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL is a full-service San Tan Valley wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular San Tan Valley pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. PHOENIX 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at PHOENIX 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 San Tan Valley 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 San Tan Valley 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 San Tan Valley rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Arizona 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 San Tan Valley pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is San Tan Valley 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 San Tan Valley trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a San Tan Valley 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. PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by PHOENIX 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. PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL also provides dead animal removal in San Tan Valley. 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 San Tan Valley snake removal - most of the snakes in Arizona are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in San Tan Valley. And remember, we are a private business, not Pinal County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 520-509-3555. Pinal County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

San Tan Valley Wildlife Tip #1:


How to Get Rid of Chipmunks


One of the reasons why you should try to get rid of chipmunks is they have a strong desire to eat bird eggs and hatchlings. They also look for warmth and so, will burrow under your structure where they can do a lot of damage. Chipmunks also eat a lot of bird seeds and they are also ready to dig up plant bulbs as well as a variety of garden plants. Here is a look at how you can get rid of them.

Modify your habitat

The first method you can use to get rid of chipmunks is to modify your habitat. For this, it is important to keep the yard clear of debris. So, if there are piles of rocks or brush piles or even thick bushes, then you will need to remove these. The grass around your building and outdoor structures needs to be well trimmed. To prevent chipmunks from making their homes in your property, you should also use a bird feed that is repugnant to chipmunks.

Exclude them with the help of hardware cloth

Second, you can use hardware cloth to exclude chipmunks from your property. This hardware cloth can prevent the chipmunk from burrowing under the porch and structures. All you need to do is staple some hardware cloth around the edges of your buildings where chipmunks make their entry.

Use a repellent

A third way of getting rid of chipmunks is to use a repellent. These are an effective way to get rid of them but they are not your best option because over time the chipmunks get used to the repellents. If you have to use a repellent, then buy different kinds so that the chipmunks do not get used to them.

Use a trap

Fourth, you should try trapping chipmunks and releasing them somewhere far away. However, keep in mind that chipmunks tend to invade a property in numbers and so it is up to you to use your judgement to see how best to trap a large number of them. Using reusable rat traps is one way to trap the chipmunks but these traps can make a real mess.

Another way to trap them is to use peanut butter in a mixture of sunflower seeds. Using this mixture as bait can provide good results. Once you notice the chipmunks feeding on the bait inside a trap, you can then set the trigger and after placing a sheet over the trap, you can humanely trap the chipmunks. Before releasing the chipmunk, make sure you have permission to do so.

Use poison or fumigants

You can also get rid of chipmunks by poisoning them or by using fumigants. There are however no fumigants or poisons that are especially made to get rid of chipmunks. Also, some states do not allow you to use a fumigant or poison to get rid of chipmunks. So, before using this solution, make sure you talk to your local conservation office and follow the directions on the package.

Arizona Wildlife Information:

Arizona State bird: Cactus wren
State mammal: Ringtail cat
State reptile: Arizona ridge-nosed rattlesnake
State amphibian: Arizona tree frog
State fish: Arizona trout
State insect: Two-tailed swallowtail

Arizona is most known for its beautiful desert regions filled with canyons and rock formations accented by cacti of varying height. What many people don't realize is that Arizona has its fair share of forests-over 20 percent of the state is woodland. These thick forests of pine and spruce trees are mostly in what is known as the Colorado Plateau. The drier regions are home to just as much wildlife, and there is no region in Arizona where animals are completely missing from the environment. For the most part, the summers in the state are hot and the winters are mild, but some of the regions with mountains and canyons can experience colder weather and even snow. There are ski resorts in northern Arizona.

State landmarks like the Grand Canyon make fantastic havens for wildlife. The water in the canyon gives life to all kinds of species including bald eagles, mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, rattlesnakes, and golden eagles. It also shelters a number of endangered species. The desert tortoise, big horned sheep, California brown pelican, spotted bat, and Southwest river otter are all on the protected list in this state.

Because of the diverse terrain, Arizona has all four of the major predators in the United States: black bears, coyotes, wolves, and mountain lions. Bobcats are also common, but they are known as "wildcats" by the residents of the state.

While Arizona still has raccoons, it also has a very raccoon-like creature called the ringtail cat. This animal is not part of the cat family, and it looks more like a cross between a raccoon and a fox. These solitary creatures live in cliff caves within the arid and semi-arid regions of the state. They have a diet of scorpions, insects, eggs, and small mammals.

Grazing creatures are also common, especially within the canyons where vegetation thrives. Arizona has mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, and big horn sheep.

Pest animals are numerous in this state, just as in any other. The forested regions provide a good home for squirrels, bats, porcupines, skunks, raccoons, and mice. Another potential pest animal in Arizona is the javelina, a small wild pig. As with any location, homeowners have to worry about rats, which can survive in most regions of the world.
