Squirrel removal and squirrel control can be very challenging.  It will require many different types of tools and ladders to complete this task. Most squirrel control service work is at the roof line if the house or dwelling. Properly trained & licensed exclusion professionals will make squirrel control, problem free. State animal control officers will respond free of charge when a squirrel is in the living areas of your home.


Raccoon control and removal is very dangerous work. Raccoons have a higher possibility of carrying rabies and will be aggressive if cornered in the attic or inside your chimney. Most county and state animal control officials will respond to a raccoon inside you living areas of your home at no charge. When the raccoon takes up residence in your yard, crawlspace, attic, and chimney then you need a professional. Most wildlife removal and control professionals have had a rabies pre-exposure vaccine administered to them.


Skunk control and removal will always be unpredictable. The spray from a skunk can linger for weeks. unless you are very brave and or very confident, always have a professional remove these friendly but smelly creatures.


Opossum trapping and removal is less dangerous than most other wildlife control. it is still not for everyone.  The opossum is part of the kangaroo family. usually the opossum resides in the lower areas of your dwelling. The opossum usually feeds on the dead caucus of other animals. Trapping, removal and exclusion is the best way to handle these creatures.


Snakes get the worst publicity of all. They have been feared since biblical times. Although snakes are sometimes thought to stalk humans that's quite untrue. they're very east to predict. Food, heat and water is all they pursue. Take any of these things out of the equation and the snake leaves. Wildlife control professionals know how to remove the factors and then remove the snake problem.


Beavers destroy man made habitat, but create much needed wetlands. The beaver will never stop tearing down trees and blocking waterways. Most humans cannot tolerate beavers when they devour the ornamental trees that humans plant .


Birds crap all over everything. from starlings nesting in vents to pigeons roosting at areas where humans do business, birds create many environmental hazards.


Bats in the United States are considered carriers of rabies and should be excluded by professionals.  There are to many variables in which to consider in bat control and exclusion. Every situation is unique and should be evaluated and handled by a state licensed wildlife animal control professional. Experience is the key in removing these critters. From vents with a maternity colony to completely infested buildings, bat exclusion work is the most detailed work that can be done by the certified professional.

A North Baltimore woman will have to endure a series of rabies shots after a raccoon bit her in her back yard. Elizabeth Knottrodt, 67, had planned a relaxing evening with a book Saturday at her home in the first block of Melrose Ave. Knottrodt said she was sitting in a mesh lawn chair around 5 p.m. when she felt what she took to be a playful paw on her back. "I thought it was the cat," Knottrodt said yesterday. "I reached around to pet it, and I felt a bite." Knottrodt said she jerked her arm forward and found a raccoon hanging from it. The animal refused to let go until her screams alerted her husband, Reinhard, who came running, she said.

The pit bull that bit a Baltimore city councilman's niece is in the hands of Baltimore County animal control workers. Kenneth Harris Sr., who represents the city's 3rd District, said he received about 20 calls after posting a $1,000 reward for the dog over the weekend. A call from the company that manages the residential community where the bite occurred helped Harris find the dog's owner. Harris' 6-year-old niece, De'jaLee, was bitten by a light-brown pit bull Saturday while running through a playground in her grandmother's Rosedale neighborhood in eastern Baltimore County.

Two poodles fatally injured a rabid raccoon in a fight Friday night, and their owners, a Catonsville couple, are gambling that the dogs won't contract the fatal disease.The alternative was euthanasia."We faced a pretty tough choice, whether to isolate them for six months and take our chances or have them put down," Deborah Fields said yesterday, shortly after having Thumper, 2, and Pooch, 4 1/2 , vaccinated at the Falls Road Animal Hospital."I made a big mistake," Mrs. Fields said, "I've learned something from this, that it's very important to have your dogs vaccinated."
