Preventative Wildlife Management Strategies
Wildlife pests such as raccoons, squirrels, bats, and birds can become significant nuisances for residential and commercial properties. These animals often seek shelter in attics, walls, and basements, causing property damage and health concerns. According to recent studies, raccoons and bats are among the most common urban wildlife invaders, with raccoons responsible for over 1 million property damages annually. Squirrels can chew through wiring, leading to fire hazards, while bird droppings can deteriorate building surfaces and spread diseases. The presence of these pests not only compromises property integrity but also poses safety risks to occupants. Effective removal and exclusion methods are essential to prevent future invasions and protect property value.
