By Deanne Shepard


It's a wild animal's instinct to find a safe shelter in which to live and raise its young, unfortunately it may happen that the most appealing spot for raccoons, possums, skunks, and other such creatures may be in the nooks and crannies of someone's home. If this happens, it's important to contact a professional who can safely and humanely remove the unwanted guest. When looking to hire a company for wildlife removal Waynesville NC homeowners should keep these points in mind.

There are some services who do nothing more than than trap the animal, and charge per creature removed. This is not a long-term solution however, since it does not repair any spots on the home where animals can enter. The best company to hire is one which does not hurt or kill the animals but takes them to where they can be rehabilitated, and also addresses the structural faults that allowed them to get in.

If a homeowner is in need of an animal removal company and is not familiar with a reliable one, he or she can start by asking friends and neighbors if they know of any which they would recommend. Checking with either a local wildlife rehabilitation organization or the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association are also trusted sources.

One should be sure to ask any company being considered, the following questions. Asking about the techniques they use to capture and handle the animals, and which actions do they take to prevent future animal invasions is the best place to start. It's important that they strive to make this a one-time occurrence by making the necessary repairs.

A company which prides itself in protecting the well-being of the animals and their young will only use removal techniques that will leave the creatures unharmed, and furthermore they will not simply release them into the wild, but take first take them to a suitable rehabilitation center. A thorough inspection should be done to make sure all babies have been located too, so they are not left to starve or be eaten by predators.

The products used should not pose a threat to other wild animals, or family pets. Poisons can affect creatures in the food chain besides the nuisance one, and traps baited with human food have been known to snare the wrong animals too. A professional will know how to bait and capture only the creature of interest and no others in a way which does not injure it.

Once the animals have been safely removed, the company should take all measures necessary to ensure that the home is no longer accessible to these creatures. They should also thoroughly sanitize the areas, remove all animal wastes, and replace damaged wood, missing insulation and any other building materials as indicated.

Finally, checking the credentials of any prospective company is very important to ensure they possess the training and experience which are necessary for doing a good job. They should be willing to provide proof of certification, insurance, and membership in respected organizations generally indicates a solid business. It's also a good idea to ask how long they have been in operation, how they screen employees, and is there a wildlife rehabilitation specialist that would recommend their services.
