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

Platinum Wildlife Removal

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Michigan and Oakland 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



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

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Platinum 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 Troy 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 Troy 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 Troy rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Platinum 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. Platinum Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Troy. 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 Troy snake removal - most of the snakes in Michigan are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Troy. And remember, we are a private business, not Oakland County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 313-224-6323. Oakland County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Troy Wildlife Tip #1:
HOW TO GET RID OF RACCOONS - Scare tactics don't work: Banging and loud noises may force raccoons to flee temporarily, but they are very persistent, and will come back. Water-sprayer raccoon deterrents are also widely available but they are not a permanent remedy for the raccoons. For instance one afternoon say sprayed in the house the raccoons evacuate the place. But after few days as raccoons are in the habit of developing a skill which last for 3 years nearly they tend to return back to the place the use to reside in for living. They have learned to acquire food in that area easily to returning to the place would not be an issue for them. Scare tactics won't work on the raccoons well. Although there are no approved repellents or toxicants for raccoon, some chemical raccoon deterrents are commercially available. For instance if ammonia socked cloth is left where raccoons tend to rest it can make them evacuate the place. Moth crystals are also a good remedy for this as children won't play with them whereas if one uses moth balls raccoons might through them in a place where children can easily get their hand on it. So they are not safe in houses especially who have children in them. One can easily get them from large store in order to get rid of raccoons. Other fumigants used as raccoon's repellents include a mixture of coyote urine and other repellents which are natural. Researches have quoted that moth ball have the capacity to keep raccoons away from open spaces in the house.

Troy Wildlife Tip #2:
How to get rid of possum from the attic - Mostly when one looks into the attic the opossum found there is a female instead of a male as females tend to seek places that they believe are very secure for their off springs according to their instincts. Thus possum residing in attic is mostly going to be the female with her young ones. Possum young ones traits of clinging to their mother all the time is good for the person who is at the duty of their removal. He will be able to remove them all together and not leaving anybody behind. Another unique traits found in opossums is that they share the dens of adult groups in winters thus residing in one attic. Once possums are in your attic they will destroy it by leaving turds that are a size of dog and they number of dying in attics is also usually high as compared to other places in the house. One has to actually smell the stench in order to be sure of a dead possum. One should notice whether there is noise of large animal walking around in the attic or not since possums walk slowly and they are heavy one might think or a large animal than a possum after hearing the sound. Do keep in mind the time that is at what hour you hear it. One also has to check what route the possum took to enter the attic was there a gap or small whole opening in the house or a vent. Since possum don't use force to enter a place there is max chances of some loop hole in the building and it is large enough for a possum to move into it. Since possums reside in the attic they end of leaving huge amount of feces in that place and the place is also scratched. So one way of killing a possum would be shooting it but removal of the carcass becomes another issue for the person. Since possums usually reside in May or June people end up searching their attic at this time of the year. In order to get them out of the attic mothball and even ammonia cannot be used. These repellents are not suggested by the FTC anymore.

Michigan Wildlife Information:

Michigan State bird: American robin
State mammal: White-tailed deer
State reptile: Painted turtle
State fish: Brook trout

Michigan is a state that tends to get bombarded with snow and storms due to its location in the arms of the Great Lakes. The state is also relatively flat, though it has a nice mix of grassland and forest and some moderate hills. Pine trees are numerous in this part of the country, and they provide shelter for the plentiful animals that must survive a long, cold winter. Most of the state experiences a short, warm summer, but it is often filled with storms coming in off the bordering lakes. Due to the long winters and the cooler overall temperatures, most of the animals in this state are ones that are comfortable surviving in poor conditions when food is covered by feet of snow.

Michigan is densely populated in the regions along the Great Lakes, but it offers a fair share of wilderness areas as well. In these sparsely populated zones you will find large grazing animals like elk, mule deer, and white-tailed deer. These herbivores ultimately draw in predators like cougars, wolves, coyotes, and bears. It's not common for bears to prey on the young of large grazers, but if food is scarce the bears can be agile, dangerous hunters. Such large creatures are not usually the concern of homeowners, even those in rural settings. Wolves and coyotes can be dangerous during seasons when food is limited. Some coyotes will adapt to urban settings. These canines are considered significantly more dangerous than coyotes in the wild. An urban coyote will not hesitate to scale a fence with the purpose of attacking a house pet.

Large animals, though they can be pests, are not as troublesome as smaller creatures like raccoons and skunks. There are a number of animals that will invade a home. Raccoons, opossums, squirrels, rats, and mice are the most frequent offenders. In Michigan, there are also Indiana bats. These small bats are very rare and disturbing one of their roosts-even if it's in your own home-is illegal.

Aquatic animals are also found in this state. River otters are very common, along with beavers and muskrats. Michigan has the water shrew, too, a large semi-aquatic rodent that is active at night near streams and lakes, and only has a lifespan of about 18 months.
