Groundhog - Tri-State Wildlife Management

Groundhog Removal Crestview Hills, KY: Famous weather predicting groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow yesterday, dooming us to another six weeks of winter. Groundhogs can hibernate from October to April; however, they do make an appearance in early February. Early in February, male groundhogs begin emerging from their burrows to scout out female groundhogs. Females typically begin doing the same about a week after their male counterparts. Neither strays far from their burrows.

If you had a groundhog problem last year, it is very likely it will continue this spring. Groundhogs are easiest to trap when bait isn’t competing with fresh vegetation, so now, when groundhogs are surfacing to scope out mates, is an opportunity to trap and remove nuisance groundhogs. Although right now their primary aim isn’t to find food, if it’s available, they often take advantage of it. It is more challenging to trap groundhogs in the spring and summer when there is an abundance of fresh food sources.

If you happen to see a groundhog come out of its burrow, or if you had a groundhog problem last year that was never resolved, call Tri-State Wildlife Management. We can take care of your groundhog problem now during this short window of opportunity!

The news media is often guilty of sensationalizing stories about rabid bats or bat colonies in buildings and the dangers involved; however, like many native wildlife a very small percentage of bats contract rabies and of that small percentage, an even smaller percentage will come in contact with humans or pets. With that said, it is always wise to practice common sense and use caution around them and avoid direct contact, as well as ensure that your pets are properly vaccinated. Bat bites and other physical contact may go undetected by individuals who are asleep, children and pets.

In addition to the foul smell and unsanitary conditions, accumulated bat droppings can support the growth of histoplasmosis, an airborne fungal disease very common in the Tri-State area. Dry attic environments usually do not support the growth of histoplasmosis spores, however attic cleanouts should never be conducted by a home or business owner! Many experts agree that the safest guano is undisturbed guano. Due to the risk of exposure during extraction, guano removal should be left to trained professionals with the proper safe and removal equipment.

Bats

Bat Removal Northern Kentucky Bats become a nuisance when they roost in large numbers in houses and businesses.
