Animal Capture and Removal

Here at Abolish Pest control we are an environmentally caring company. We do not harm any animals such as raccoons, Bats, Pigeons, opossums or other types of animal pests. We use professional traps with a self triggered mechanism that captures the Animal. Once captured all animals are safely released into the wilderness away from homes. All cages contain food and water for the animal and the technicians check up on traps but the customer must call abolish as soon as they spot an animal in the cage. It may be several hours before the animal is released which is why it is important for the customer to report to abolish so the animal may be released quickly. Sometimes the traps may trap untargeted animals such as cats or small pets, in such a case please inform us.

Steps to Trapping Proper identification of your target is vital for a successful trapping. First we identify the pest and the location. Then all traps are strategically located to capture the targeted pest.

The raccoon can be recognized by its notorious black mask and tail with black rings. Adult raccoons can be up to 3 feet long and weigh between 10 to 60 pounds. Raccoons have a whitish gray coat. This fur is long and dense, a grizzled brown and black color that has often been described as "salt and pepper." The tail can grow to be fifteen inches. A tail can have five to seven black rings on it.

This is the only marsupial in North America. A body length of 12 to 24 inches and its tail 9 to 20 inches. Not the largest marsupial weighing in at less than 15 pounds and with a life span of only 2 to 3 years; no wonder he is a nocturnal creature. They are scavengers of the night looking for food and a place to spend the night. They can eat anything and do so. But caution any food left out specially cat, and dog food will attract them to your home. About the only benefit to you as a home owner is that they sometimes control your rodent problems. A sticky critter in the wild although gentle when left undisturbed, contrary to its vicious looks

Skunks can be found near forests, bushes, Holes, and under buildings. They release a strong stench from a gland as a defense against any attackers. usually identified by their 2 white stripes on the back. They are about the same size as a house cat.

Pigeons may be live-trapped on buildings and other likely locations. Live-traps for pigeons are available. Pre-baiting the traps with grains that the birds are accustomed to will increase success. A variety of baits, including cracked corn, millet, popcorn, sunflower seeds, peas, bread, and peanuts can be used. Water is available in the trap at all times. Trapping in any given area will usually reduce the number of pigeons quickly and humanely, it is labor intensive, and most of the time a great reduction measure.

Squirrels are clever and persistent critters and can be a nuisance when they turn your attic, crawlspace, or interior walls into their home. Especially in an area with a dense squirrel population, Squirrel proofing is essential in keeping squirrels as well as other pests out. The only effective way to remove squirrels from your attic or home is by trapping or by one-way trap doors which let the squirrel out but not in. After which proofing should be done. After trapping, Squirrels are released to a remote area alongside a source of water such as a river or pond.

Squirrel's teeth grow continuously which is why they need to chew on a variety of hard objects. Sometimes Squirrels chew on power lines or power cords causing power outages or fire hazards- especially in the attic.
