Shelbyville Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Shelbyville, KY

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville, 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 Shelby 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

  • Pest Animal Removal Louisville is a full-service Shelbyville wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Shelbyville pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Pest Animal Removal Louisville 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.

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

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Pest Animal Removal Louisville. 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 Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Shelbyville 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. Pest Animal Removal Louisville does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Pest Animal Removal Louisville. 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. Pest Animal Removal Louisville also provides dead animal removal in Shelbyville. 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 Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville. And remember, we are a private business, not Shelby County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (502) 633-0009. Shelby County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Shelbyville Wildlife Tip #1:
    What Is The Best Bait To Trap An Armadillo?

    There is no doubt to say that armadillos are the most frustrating animals in the United States that keep on targeting gardens and yards in the residential areas to find food for their routine snacks. Most of the homeowners in the urban areas are in trouble due to frequent attacks of armadillos, and they want to get rid of these creatures by using most trustworthy methods. One of the best technique to take armadillos out of your premises is using traps, but not all the traps are suitable for armadillos. As the creatures have sharp teeth and claws, they can easily tear down most of the traps, so it is important to choose the most durable one to capture them.

    You will be happy to know that market is loaded with a variety of durable traps that you can use to capture armadillos in your premises. But the success of your trapping technique actually lies in another secret; you need to use an attractive bait to attract armadillos, and at the same time, location for placement of trap also plays an essential role in this process. Many people think of using worms and larvae as baits, but it is observed that many other animals are also attracted towards these baits and many times you end up capturing any other creature from the environment instead of armadillos.

    It is important to place the trap close to the burrow where armadillos are living in your landscape. You can also target the area from where armadillos pass so frequently. Make sure you set the trap at the right time so that as soon as the animal comes out of its burrow, it gets trapped. Using right bait for armadillos is also a matter of debate in most areas. People are not able to decide what can attract the armadillos into traps. There are least chances of success with the use of live baits such as crickets, maggots, and earthworms. The best idea is to set non-live baits like rotten meat, spoiled eggs, sardines, fruits, and fish.

    Some homeowners that are frustrated with armadillo attacks also keep on asking if they should use poisonous bait to trap these pests or not. Experts say that there is no need to do such terrible thing. Using poison as bait for armadillos means you will kill the animal with a cruel and painful death; even if they are terrible diggers, they do not deserve a painful death. Moreover, using poisonous baits in the garden or yard area can be harmful to your own pets or kids as many times they also come in direct contact with the poisonous traps. Also, if you kill the armadillos using poisonous bait, you also have to be ready to deal with the carcass behind. It definitely creates an unpleasant situation for your property. Hence, it is better to look for some non-live baits that can help you to capture the animal so that it can be later released at a far end of the city.

    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 Pest Animal Removal Louisville, any time of day, at 502-996-8856, for a price quote for Shelbyville wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Shelbyville, KY.
