As winter sets in across Upstate New York, many homeowners face an annual battle: protecting their homes from nuisance wildlife and pests seeking warmth and shelter.

 From raccoons in chimneys to mice in attics, these unwelcome guests can cause significant damage, health risks, and stress. Professional wildlife control offers a safe, effective, and long-term solution to safeguard your home.


Understanding the Winter Pest Problem

When temperatures drop, wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons, bats, and rodents seek refuge in warm, cozy spaces. Your attic, basement, and even walls become attractive options. These animals can:

 

  • Damage Structures: Chewing through insulation, wires, and wooden beams.
  • Pose Health Risks: Spreading diseases like hantavirus or histoplasmosis.
  • Create Fire Hazards: Gnawing on electrical wiring increases the risk of fires.

 

Without early intervention, the presence of these pests can escalate, leading to costly repairs and potential safety hazards.


Benefits of Professional Wildlife Control

Engaging a professional wildlife control service is essential for effective pest prevention and removal. Here’s how these experts can help:

  • Wildlife control specialists conduct thorough inspections to identify potential entry points and signs of infestations. They know where pests typically hide and how they gain access to your home [1].

Humane and Effective Removal

  • Professionals use humane techniques to remove wildlife safely. This ensures compliance with state laws and minimizes harm to animals.

Exclusion Techniques

  • Sealing entry points, installing chimney caps, and adding barriers prevent pests from returning. These exclusion methods are a safe, long-term solution [5].
