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

Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC
Cell Phone: 540-251-2479

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Wythe County Animal Services: 276-223-3397

Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Virginia also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC is specially trained in bat removal.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Virginia and Wythe 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



Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC is a full-service Wytheville wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Wytheville pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC. 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 Wytheville 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 Wytheville 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 Wytheville rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Virginia 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 Wytheville pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Wytheville 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 Wytheville trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Wytheville 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. Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC. 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. Billy's Wildlife Control, LLC also provides dead animal removal in Wytheville. 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 Wytheville snake removal - most of the snakes in Virginia are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Wytheville. And remember, we are a private business, not Wythe County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 276-223-3397. Wythe County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Wytheville Wildlife Tip #1:


Is a fox dangerous to pets or farm animals?


Foxes are nocturnal animals that scavenge for food after dusk or during the night times. They are frequently considered as dangerous creatures. They are viewed as risky because they may hurt the humans, they may harm the children, or they may transfer ailments to pets or farm animals. Foxes may attack and consume little creatures in the yard, for example, rabbits, ducks or other poultry.

These foxes are also responsible for transferring diseases to your pets. These diseases may include mange and rabies. As we move forward with the article, we will discuss why foxes are dangerous because of their predatory nature and which types of diseases they can transmit to pets and other farm animals.

Predators

As we discussed above, the foxes might not be a danger to the larger animals such as dogs and cats, since they are intimidated by them. On the contrary, these foxes can feast on pets such as rabbits, kittens, puppies, and farm animals such as duck, chickens and even fish.

Rabies

Foxes are known and common carriers of the lethal disease, rabies. A single scratch or a single bite from the infected animal to you farm animal or your pets can result in the transfer of infection. These scratches or bites can occur in your pets or farm animals being paralyzed, and later on prove fatal for them.

Toxocariasis

Another parasite usually carried by foxes are roundworms. These roundworms are passed into the soil in the form of fox feces. If your farm animal or pet gets in contact with the infected soil, they can instantly get infected. This infection can result in your pet getting blind. Therefore, if you observe a fox going bathroom in your garden, you should always clean and decontaminate the area.

Mange

Although the risk is very low, and the results of the infection might not be lethal, but it can irritate your pets or farm animals. The symptoms that an animal might have caught mange from a fox include rashes which may heal naturally after a few weeks. In the worst-case scenario, your pet or farm animal might lose some hair.

Fox Bites

Foxes are usually found in the wild. As a result, your pet is bitten by them can be a very rare scenario. Also, foxes are intimidated by large pets and humans, therefore, they tend to steer clear of their path. A fox might enter your garden in search of food and face your pet. When the foxes are threatened, they usually escape, but in rarest of cases, they might attack. If a fox bites your pet or farm animal, you can use the antibiotics to cure them.



Wytheville Wildlife Tip #2:


Virginia Wildlife Information:

Virginia State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: Virginia big-eared bat
State fish: Brook trout, striped bass
State insect: Tiger swallowtail butterfly

Virginia is attached to the Chesapeake Bay, and because of this, it has a large coastal plain that extends inland, passing the bay's tributaries and eventually ending at the swelling of rocky foothills. Those foothills spread into the Blue Ridge Mountains, an extension of the Appalachian range. The state has an abundance of carbonated rock which has led to the creation of thousands of cave systems. Ten of those systems are currently open to the public, leaving about 3,990 on private land or currently uncharted. Along with the caves comes a variety of bat species, including the big brown bat, Brazilian free-tailed bat, eastern red bat, evening bat, gray bat, and the hoary bat, to name a few. Caves are the perfect habitat for these animals, which can either migrate or hibernate in the colder months. While Virginia is not prone to particularly harsh winters, the cave systems make a good, temperature-controlled place for hibernation.

Bats, though numerous, are only a small portion of the animal population in Virginia. The state has a number of predators including black bears, bobcats, cougars, and coyotes. This state doesn't have huge issues with the larger predators mainly because of how mountainous and wild the habitat has remained. The coastal plain is much more covered in people's homes, and this is where critters like squirrels and raccoons love to play. Because of the amount of trees in this state, it doesn't take long for a vertical-loving animal to find a way into a house. While raccoons and squirrels are definitely on the list of nuisance animals, they are among a score of others including woodchucks, skunks, porcupines, and opossums.

The state is also perfect for birds, and Virginia has a population of golden eagles, a large avian that tends to live in isolated settings across the globe. Not much research has been done on the golden eagle, and Virginia wildlife authorities hope they can study the growing population and shed some light on the species.

The fresh water feeding into the Chesapeake Bay provides a good ecosystem for amphibians and reptiles, and Virginia has a number of water-loving snakes including the cottonmouth and the common water snake. The state also has glass lizards, a snake-like creature, and the only limbless lizard in the United States.
