Los Angeles Raccoon Control and Removal

Squirrels are causing damage to homes and lawns in Los Angeles. Its no secret to anyone who already has an issue, which is why you are reading this now Ill bet Most companies offer to trap or remove the Squirrels for a fee. They can get the immediate problem taken care of if they know what they are doing. A few offer to repair the damage caused by the animals. Removal of the fecal matter and urine soaked insulation is important, as it could cause health risks due to the spores of parasites in the digestive tract of the animal. These spores can become air borne if disturbed, and become inhaled or imbedded in the moist tissues of the eye, where the spores hatch and grow. Protecting yourself properly is important!
It can be expensive on major infestations, even on smaller homes, so correcting the issue early is the key. Every monday at 2:pm. we do a public service pod cast to connect the public with professionals in the squirrels control industry. We have wildlife control professionals on staff to answer any questions you may have.

I’ll start with some questions asked by most clients about rats and mice, and the answers.
Are rats and mice dangerous?
If you are talking about the movie Willard, no. The only times I have seen a rat bite someone, it was in the face, and it was while they were asleep. It was my belief that the person bitten had the smell of tooth paste, or food on there face, and the rat was just trying to get some dinner. It only bit one time, near the mouth. As disturbing as it may have been, I realy dont thik the rat was attacking. There are some major problems caused by rats and mice. They eat food, and contaminate it with urine and fecies. They gnaw into everything! Weather to build a nest, or just to keep teeth sharp, even wires are fair game. Thats how it starts getting dangerous, with fires in the home.They, or the paracites they carry, such as fleas, mites, or worms can spread diseases. They are not socially acceptable. Rats and mice have been a problem for centuries because they have an increadable survival rate and are difficult to eliminate
How long do rats and mice live?
Only about a year in the wild, and 3-4 years in captivity. But they can have up to 84 young in a lifetime!
How can I control rodents?
Store garbage in containors with tight fitting lids.
Clean up spilled or un used pet food. The rats and mice will carry it into the walls of your home and store it there.
Keep bird feeders 50 feet from your home, and use rodent proof bird feeders. Rodents will take advantage of a free meal.
Clean up fallen fruits. If left to lay on the ground, rats will locate the area and move in.
Take away the shelter
A mouse can enter a hole the size of a nickle or smaller. Cracks in the foundation need to be filled with concrete and repaired. Screens and windows in bacements must be in good repair. Seal any holes where pipes and wires come into buildings. Repair any broken sewer lines.
Take away cover
Cleaning up the area, cutting shrubs away from the ground and keeping grass short will take away the materials that rodents use to cover there movement from animals that hunt them. Take away that comfort zone, and they will leave.
Now we have taken away the food, cover and shelter. Would you live in a place like that? Neither will they! I hope this has helped you with your rat or mouse problem. If you would like a professional to help with it, call 800-714-8727 and we will be happy to set a hassel free apointment arround your schedual.

Here we are almost into November, and the rats and squirrels are storing the nuts and seeds away for winter. They will also put away dry dog food, and whatever else looks or smells like food. When gaining access to the home, I’m seeing alot of tree limbs offering an easy way to the roof. Boganvillia are some of the rats favorite cover. they are almost invisible to natural enemies. Boxes in the garage offer cover also. Bags of dogfood in the garage are torn into on the bottom while the rats go un noticed in the effort to store it in the walls.
The dammage rats cause can be an expensive repair. I’ve seen them chew water lines to get a drink, causing a flood in the house. I’ve also responded to a call on occasion where the client was bitten in the face while they slept. My guess is that the client wasn’t attacked, but was bitten as a result of food odor or tooth paste left on the cheek or lips. It doesnt happen often, but it happens enough.

So, what kind of pro active steps can we take to avoid rats, mice, squirrels from choosing YOUR home as a place to live?
First, take away the vines crawling up the wall. Not all the way, just get them away from the roof, by about 3 feet. Now the tree branches, don’t offer any easy way for them to get up there. Cut them back at least 4 feet from the roof.
Second, don’t use pet doors unless they are petsafe doors or something like it. Rats can and will follow your pets inside.
Third, make sure the gas lines are not offering any space for a rat or mouse to get in next to it.
Fourth, store pet food in plastic bins, dont leave them in the bag. Also remember the seeds…that you put in a bird feeder? Box them up too. And be sure to get a seed catcher for that bird feeder. Birds toss seeds all over while eating. the ones that hit the ground will catch the attn. of a passing rat or squirrel, then he starts looking for nice place to live near this new grocery store!
Fifth, Get the garage so you can see everything, don’t have lots of boxes and bags all over the place. Open space makes rodents nervous, and thats what we want to do. Make sure the outside of the home is the same way.
Other than that, make sure the outside if the home is in good repair, not offering any space as big as a nickle, and you hve greatly lessoned the chance of having rodent troubles on the inside of your home.
If you ARE invaded already, please don’t use poisions. I also get lots of dead rat calls from clients who need the animal found in the walls. This is expensive to do. You are better off doing a trapping progrm, or hiring someone to trap them.
