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

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

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Columbus Wildlife Control Professionals. 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 Whitehall 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 Whitehall 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 Whitehall rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Ohio 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 Whitehall pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Whitehall 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 Whitehall trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Whitehall 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. Columbus Wildlife Control Professionals does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Columbus Wildlife Control Professionals. 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. Columbus Wildlife Control Professionals also provides dead animal removal in Whitehall. 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 Whitehall snake removal - most of the snakes in Ohio are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Whitehall. And remember, we are a private business, not Franklin County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 614-237-8612. Franklin County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Whitehall Wildlife Tip #1:
Where Should I Relocate A Trapped Rat?

Rats are intelligent creatures, and they keep on searching for food and shelter in the residential areas. These nocturnal creatures try to find their way into a house during night hours and will soon hide in the darker corners inside. Many homeowners in the United States are in trouble due to rat attacks, and they want to get rid of these destructive creatures as soon as possible. Well! Before you think of using any method to take them out of your house, it is important to understand that rats are also protected by state laws. Humans are not allowed to kill, harm or trap rats. The best solution to deal with infestation issue is to relocate them to some far location from where they cannot return.

Experts say that rats prefer to visit areas where they get enough sources of food or find a cozy shelter. If your home provides them any of these advantages, these creatures will keep on visiting so frequently. So, it is important to clean your premises from all kind of left-overs. At the same time, you need to close the garbage cans tightly so that rats do not get access inside. Homeowners also need to check all the holes, spaces, and cracks that can work like an entry or exit points for rats. You may find their droppings and urine marks in the area. Rats often try to explore residential areas in search of food, but the terrible fact is that they also bring risks of several diseases with them. Hence, if you are observing rat movements in your premises, it is good to take immediate steps to get rid of them.

As per state laws, killing rats with inhumane methods is not legal; you can try using live traps to capture and relocate them. Once you catch the rodent in your one door trap, you can carry it safely to other location far away from your house. Note that before you begin rat trapping process, it is important to identify the location where you can release them. Because it is not safe to keep them in the trap so long as they may die without food and water. You should look for a safe place where relocated rat can stay protected from predator attacks, and it can also have enough sources of shelter and food. Also, it is important to mention that these places must be at a far distance from residential areas so that the relocated rat cannot create the trouble again. As soon as you take rats out of your premises, prefer to seal all the entry and exit points that they were using to enter your home. Otherwise, these creatures may start creating troubles again. In case if you are new in the city and are not able to identify areas for relocating the rats; it is good to take help from professional rat exterminators as they know right techniques to trap and relocate rodents.

Whitehall Wildlife Tip #2:


Ohio Wildlife Information:

Ohio State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: White-tailed deer
State reptile: Northern black racer
State insect: 7-spotted ladybug

Welcome to Ohio, the state where there aren't many mountains, but there are plenty of forests and fields for animals to enjoy. Not only does this state have a nice mixture of habitats, the landscape is generally universal when it comes to climate. Ohio does occasionally have a tornado, and it can have an earthquake or two, but most of the time the summers are hot and the winters are cold. This climate eliminates some of the heat-loving critters in the southern states, but it does keep those common creatures that live around homes comfortable.

The most common nuisance animals in Ohio are raccoons, snakes, bats, geese, swans, squirrels, woodpeckers, skunks, and opossums. Homes in this state are well-insulated against the cold winters, making them ideal locations of critters that like to climb into an attic. Rats are frequent visitors in the city areas, and homeowners without rats usually have a mouse or two. People living closer to nature, or those with an urban raccoon issue, sometimes find the animals up in the attic. This can be particularly problematic, especially because most raccoons in an attic have a littler of babies nearby. While not as common, the occasional opossum will also invade a home in Ohio from time to time.

Coyotes and black bears rule the food chain in this state, though the bears are less of a nuisance than the intelligent canines. Coyotes will hunt in packs, picking off livestock or entering suburbs where they feed on pets and harass small children. A determined coyote will even climb a fence if it is hungry enough to want the pet inside the yard. The black bears are nuisances mostly at campgrounds or in places where people leave garbage out overnight. The bear is an extremely strong animal, and a secured garbage can lid won't be enough to deter these predators.

In the river valleys, Ohio has a number of industrious beavers, otters, and muskrats. Homeowners living near streams may find themselves suddenly flooded due to a recently constructed dam. For the most part, muskrat concerns belong to the county. Government officials need to worry about dike walls being compromised by the burrowing muskrat. Due to the decent amount of precipitation this state receives annually, semi-aquatic animals tend to thrive in Ohio.

You can always call Columbus Wildlife Control Professionals, any time of day, at 614-502-7677, for a price quote for Whitehall wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Whitehall, OH.
