Simsbury Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Simsbury, CT

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

Wildlife Removal Hartford
Cell Phone: 860-422-4752

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Hartford County Animal Services: (860) 658-3110



Wildlife Removal Hartford specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Connecticut also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Wildlife Removal Hartford 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. Call 860-422-4752 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2020.

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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Connecticut and Hartford 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

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

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

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Removal Hartford. 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 Simsbury 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 Simsbury 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 Simsbury rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

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

    The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal Hartford. 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. Wildlife Removal Hartford also provides dead animal removal in Simsbury. 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 Simsbury snake removal - most of the snakes in Connecticut are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Simsbury. And remember, we are a private business, not Hartford County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (860) 658-3110. Hartford County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Simsbury Wildlife Tip #1:
    Do Rats Like Dog Poop?

    This post is going to be showing you everything that you need to know about rats and the feces of dogs. The reason for it is to clear every doubt that you may be having regarding whether rats do like such poop or not.

    Do They Like Dog Faeces?

    It has been researched and discovered by experts that rats like the feces of dogs. They even claimed that such poop is one of the major food sources for rats. Although the feces are dangerous to humans when they come in contact with them as they do contain bacteria which are infectious as well as toxins, they seem to be nutritious for animals such as rats as they contain minerals, carbohydrates, proteins and fats. This really helps them to survive over the course of time.

    Dog feces are one of their favorite foods and if they happen to smell it in any part of your yard then you can always expect them to come around.

    What You Need To Know

    There is always this confusion as to whether rats can really survive by eating dog poop. The reason why you may be confused is the fact that rats are majorly nocturnal animals (that is to say they love carrying out their operations in the night) and as such, you will not see them feasting on such poop during the day time. However, if you are very observant you should be able to notice a change in position of the feces.

    One thing that you have to understand about rats is the fact that they have this strong sense of smell which helps them detect any area where dog feces have been left. Once they discover them, it will only take time before they will start multiplying in such an area through reproduction. This is because with such poop present in that area, they have a means of survival.

    The best thing to do is ensure that the areas around your home have been thoroughly cleaned and every dog feces have been gotten rid of. Once you can do this on a consistent basis, you will be able to deter them from hanging around your home.

    In a nutshell, dog poop is one of the major sources of food for rats. Therefore, your aim of getting rid of these animals will not be achieved once you fail to have them removed as soon as possible from your yard or any other part of your home.

    Connecticut Wildlife Information:

    Connecticut State bird: American robin
    State mammal: Sperm whale
    State fish: American shad
    State insect: European mantis

    Connecticut is a small state in the nation, and despite being technically on the coast of the country, it does not have an ocean border. The state is connected to the Atlantic Ocean through Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound, but has no actual sea coast of its own. The majority of the state was originally wooded, though areas of farmland have since been cleared. The forests are full of broad-leaved trees with a mixture of coniferous woodland, and there is a steady rise of terrain to the mountains in the northwest. Summers in the state are warm to hot, and winters are cold; the ocean mediates temperatures and moisture content in the atmosphere.

    The state does not have a huge variety of large animals. The moose is the dominate creature on land in size, and it is the only large grazer aside from white-tailed deer. A subspecies of the white-tailed deer, called the key deer, grow to be only 3 feet tall and weigh up to 80 pounds. This subspecies is protected due to dwindling numbers. The key deer are easy targets for coyotes who roam the forested regions of the state. Black bears are also present, but the bears rarely take to hunting down large prey. Black bears spend much of their time foraging for fruits and insects, or raiding easy meal locations like birds' nests. The state has a healthy population of bobcats that keep the numbers of smaller animals manageable.

    As in most states of the Northeast, Connecticut has a variety of forest-dwelling critters that hold the potential to become pest animals. Raccoons, skunks, opossums, rats, mice, bats, gophers, woodchucks, weasels, minks, and beavers are all occupants of the state. Connecticut has lemmings, small, elusive rodents that have gotten a reputation for mass suicides. These communal death marches are a misnomer; the lemming will sometimes migrate in numbers during the breeding season. Because the animals are good swimmers, they will often attempt to cross waters where a significant number of them drown. They are not throwing themselves off cliffs for no apparent reason.

    Though access to the ocean is had by way of a protected region of water, Connecticut has a number of marine animals including manatees and harbor seals.
