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

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

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Pest Wildlife Removal Iowa City. 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 Tipton 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 Tipton 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 Tipton rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Pest Wildlife Removal Iowa City. 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 Wildlife Removal Iowa City also provides dead animal removal in Tipton. 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 Tipton snake removal - most of the snakes in Iowa are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Tipton. And remember, we are a private business, not Cedar County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (563) 886-2361. Cedar County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Tipton Wildlife Tip #1:
DO COYOTES MAKE GOOD PETS?

Can a coyote be domesticated? This is a question people often time ask. Research had proven that foxes can be domesticated. The general theory is that a fox is selected, not just any fox but a baby fox. It is said that they are docile and more friendly to humans. Over the years, the owner would selectively breed the fox and in a few generations, they would have a full domestic fox.

Despite their abilities to adjust and adapt to human environment, breeding the coyote species into domesticated pets in the past have not been very fruitful. According to research, those coyote pups raised by humans did not turn out to ne very cooperative pets at all. It would seem the more they grew, the more their base instincts took over. Some of the many dangers involved in the domestication of coyote as pets include;

Rabies: This is one of the most common diseases that the animal possesses. It can easily be transferred unto humans by mere contact. These diseases in turn can be transferred to other pets. These pets then develop aggressive streaks that could make them turn violent to their users. Another disease it transmits is called Tularemia which can cause of some human diseases like fever, pain in the joint and muscles and headaches.

Dangerous to lives and properties: Normally, coyotes avoid human encounters. In the urban areas, these creatures are less fearsome, the fear has reduced greatly in these areas. When a human accidentally ventures into their territories, it is often dangerous for them. There are recorded cases of a coyote attacking human children and adults. In the US, there are two recorded cases of fatalities.

They are naturally wary of humans: It is in the nature of coyotes to consider humans as potential threats. They are more unpredictable than pet dogs. They easily identify weaknesses and would prey on it. It often takes two or three generations for the coyote to become more human friendly.

Feeding a coyote reduces fear: The diet of a coyote is similar to that of dogs and they can adjust enough to fit in. However, feeding a wild coyote is dangerous because they get comfortable and would be easy to get violent. Growing a coyote pup by humans is very impractical as the majority of these pet owners often are victims of attack from the pets.

The attacks on humans by these creatures is something that has been on the increase and it us especially worrying for those living in urban areas where there are leftover foods to scavenge.

Tipton Wildlife Tip #2:


Iowa Wildlife Information:

Iowa State bird: Eastern goldfinch
State amphibian: North American bullfrog
State fish: Channel catfish

Iowa is a central state in the Midwest, and its location has given it the nickname "America's heartland". Despite being a naturally flat state which used to have plentiful forests, Iowa has given up much of its natural habitats in favor of agriculture. Now, forests only cover 7 percent of the entire state, often in the river valleys only where farming isn't practical or easy. Thirty percent of the state is still grassland, but only 1 percent of that 30 is original prairie land. More than half of the state-at 60 percent-is active farmland. The weather in this region is warm and humid during the summers with cold, snowy winters. Thunderstorms are common on a daily basis in the warm weather.

Unlike other states with grasslands, Iowa no longer has many of the large grazing creatures that loved to live on the plains. Elk and bison have long since been extirpated from the state due to heavy deforestation and land conversion. Only white-tailed deer remain, and these were once wiped off Iowa soil as well. The species was re-introduced and has thrived, but it is still uncommon in some areas.

Despite the lack of large grazers, predators have fared better in Iowa that in other states. For a while, there was thought to be no evidence of mountain lions or gray wolves, but the large cats have been making a comeback. Experts feel there may now be a breeding population in the state. Smaller predators, like bobcats and coyotes, live off the plentiful small animals that live around the countryside. There are plenty of rabbits, prairie dogs, and raccoons to keep the carnivores happy.

An abundance of small animals means an abundance of pest animals, and Iowa is no exception. The state has raccoons, bats, squirrels, mice, rats, and opossums. Spotted skunks are protected by the state, but they can still become pest animals.

Unfortunately, Iowa has lost many of its native animals due to the progressive nature of humans. A number of animals are on the endangered species list including bald eagles, flying squirrels, bats, certain owls, and a number of lizards, insects, fish, and reptiles. While the original agriculture move ousted many of the state's species, Iowa is taking steps to protect the remaining wildlife.
