Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson is a full-service Union City wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Union City pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson. 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 Union City 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 Union City 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 Union City rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Tennessee 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 Union City pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Union City 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 Union City trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Union City 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 Trapping Professionals of Jackson does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson. 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 Trapping Professionals of Jackson also provides dead animal removal in Union City.

Obion County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Union City Wildlife Tip #1:
Are Snakes Skilled To Climb Walls or Stairs?

People who live in snake affected areas are often able to sight these scary creatures in the yard and garden area. Most homeowners in the United States are in trouble due to these reptiles as they pose a serious threat to kids and pets around. One of the most common question in every mind is whether these creatures are able to climb walls and stairs or not. Well! First, it is important to understand that snakes are skilled enough to climb most of the vertical surfaces with ease, but they need something to ensure grip while climbing. It means they can easily move over trees, rocks, stairs as well but when we talk about walls; they cannot climb on the smooth ones; however, few wall patterns support them well. Even if you wall is designed with a rough surface as like stucco; snakes are not able to climb it, but the wall that is designed using bricks and rocks and offers variable depths make it easier to climb for most snakes.

There is no doubt to say that snakes in the United States often climb up to the multiple floors through stairs. Note that these creatures have hundreds of ribs along with multiple vertebrae in their body that keep on contracting and expanding with their movements. Snakes also have special scales on their belly that correspond to ribs and make snakes able to grip a variety of surfaces. There are four unique ways that snakes can use to move, and the preference usually depends upon what kind of snake it is. The serpentine method allows snakes to move in wavy motion but as they need something to hold their muscles; they are not able to climb over slick surfaces. Snakes that follow Concertina motion have tightly closed spaces, and they follow the push-pull method to move. The front portion of snake's body simply extends in forward direction and grips to some surface with scales so that it can pull the rest of the body.

Sidewinding motion allow snakes to move on slippery surfaces, but there is only one snake that can follow this motion and it is a rattlesnake. These snakes are also known as sidewinders. Other than this, some snakes also follow a rectilinear method to hold a grip on the ground. In this case, snakes make use of its scales to grip over the ground and then take help from ribs and muscles to support the rest of the body. This motion help snakes to climb the stairs with ease. So, now it is clear that snakes can climb walls and stairs with ease, it is important to find some way to prevent them from entering your home. It is good to take help from professionals to handle the snake attacks as they know right tips and tricks to block their access to your property. Fences can ensure safety for your kids and pets; however, some homeowners also prefer to use repellents and deterrents to get rid of them.

Union City Wildlife Tip #2:


Tennessee Wildlife Information:

Tennessee State bird: Northern mockingbird, bobwhite quail
State mammal: Raccoon
State reptile: Eastern box turtle
State amphibian: Tennessee cave salamander
State fish: Largemouth bass, channel catfish
State insect: 7-spotted ladybug, European honeybee

Tennessee sometimes gets a reputation for being a land of nothing but flat fields and farms. This is untrue, and comes from the fact it transitions to the center of the country where states like Kansas really are primarily flat farmland. Tennessee is, in fact, full of mountains and lush valleys, having a number of mountain ranges including the Appalachians and the Smokey Mountains. The summers are typically hot and humid, but higher elevations can be quite cold in the winter with significant snowfall. A number of animals make their homes in this state, enjoying the warm weather and comparably milder winters.

This state is actually known for its salamander population in the Smokey Mountain National Park. With over 30 species of salamanders in five different families, the park is considered the salamander capital of the world.

Not surprisingly, since it is the state mammal, raccoons are one of the top nuisance creatures in Tennessee. The masked garbage-raiders are right at home in the state's forests, eventually moving in to invade human homes when it's time to have a family. Homeowners in Tennessee also have to worry about skunks, bats, beavers, muskrats, woodchucks, squirrels, and opossums.

Armadillos also make short work of people's yards. The armadillo, while a quiet and docile animal, is very destructive when it decides to search a yard for grubs, bugs, or worms. Thankfully, these critters are easy to trap, and some areas of Tennessee consider them a delicacy. People must be careful consuming armadillo meat as it can carry leprosy. Despite the concern, there are a number of ways to cook the creature, and most recipes favor the BBQ.

Campers can attest to evidence of the larger animals in Tennessee. Black bear are very common in the mountains, and these large predators can grow to be over 500 pounds. Second to the black bear only in size are the cougars. These large cats are incredibly smart, and very dangerous if they decide to stalk human prey. A problematic cougar can watch a person for days while formulating a plan of attack. Wolves and coyotes are also top carnivores, though wolves are small in number, having just been reintroduced into the state back in the early 1990's.

You can always call Wildlife Trapping Professionals of Jackson, any time of day, at 731-506-4770, for a price quote for Union City wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Union City, TN.
