Squirrel Removal in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati

January 27th, 2018

Spidey Squirrels are invading homes in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati!!!

Did you Know that squirrels are a lot like Spiderman? No, they don’t wear red tights and no they can’t shoot spider webs, but they can maneuver a building a lot like Spiderman. Recently I had an encounter with “Spidey Squirrel” at a client’s house in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was at the client’s house looking for sign of squirrel entry. I found a hole in an eave of the house so I made my way towards the hole. Suddenly a squirrel shot out of the hole missing my face by a few inches. The squirrel then leaped two stories from the roof to the ground. When I climbed down off the roof I made my way to the back of the house and wouldn’t you know it, there was Spidey Squirrel. The squirrel then scampered back to the house and climbed right up the brick towards the roof just like he was Spiderman.

I am often asked by new clients, “If I cut down the tree next to my house, will that prevent squirrels from getting into my house?”. Although it could help a little, the answer is “No”. In my experience (like my encounter with Spidey Squirrel), squirrels in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati will climb up almost any surface to access a home’s attic, soffits, and chimney. The best option to stop a squirrel from entering your home is not to cut down the beloved family tree. It is to remove the squirrel.

Goose Droppings Everywhere!

March 13th, 2014

Problems With Canada Goose Droppings in Kenwood, OH, or any place else in the Greater Cincinnati area? Call Tri-State Wildlife Management (513)853-0037

With spring approaching we will be getting the poop calls. Poop being, GOOSE DROPPINGS EVERYWHERE! Many public areas such as country clubs, golf courses, businesses, parks, and community living environments offer pristinely manicured lawns and ponds that provide an ideal habitat for geese. These areas are also where people often want to hang out when the weather is warm and sunny. You may want to have a picnic or play ball with your children but you certainly don’t want to eat in an area covered with poop or have your children playing in it.

When goose droppings are concentrated, they are unpleasant and a potential health risk. If high goose numbers persist in small areas, they have been found to harbor elevated levels of organisms that cause diseases in humans, Rotaviruses, Salmonella, D Listeria viruses have all been found in concentrations of Canada goose feces. They have also been known to elevate bacteria levels via fecal coli form.

Canada geese are the leading nuisance bird for lakes, parks, golf courses, businesses and homes in close proximity to water. Their acidic droppings corrode many substrates including tar-based roofing materials. Droppings that are allowed to accumulate on roofs damage the material and eventually cause leaks. The life expectancy of a warehouse roof can be cut in half by just a light but continuous application of droppings. Several warehouses every year experience damage and leakage problems from residing geese. In extreme cases roofs have been known to collapse from standing water when drainage systems are blocked by droppings and feathers, thus causing the temporary closure of some large buildings.

If you have a goose problem on your property and want the geese gone or the numbers of geese on your property cut down in size we can provide a solution to meet your needs. We service the Cincinnati, OH area as well as its surrounding cities such as West Chester, OH; Middletown, OH; and Kenwood, OH. For more information give us a call at (513)853-0037 or visit our website www.tristatewildlifemanagement.com.

Scratching In My Wall

February 24th, 2014

Call Tri-State Wildlife Management if you hear scratching in your wall at night! We will take care of any wildlife problem including bats! (859) 635-0037

Having warmer evenings the past few nights has really been making our phone ring. Warm evenings mean that bats are active and driving people crazy. You may be thinking, “What is scratching in my wall?” If you hear a scratching sound in your wall or ceiling on a warm night, you more than likely have bats living among you.

The other night we had several calls where customers heard scratching in their walls and ceiling. With the weather being as warm as it has been I knew it was probably bats. Some of my customers made it very clear they had bats once they told me they also heard a high pitched screeching sound coming from their walls and attic. This sound is not familiar to most people unless they have had encounters with bats previously.

On Friday night we responded to a call in Ft. Thomas, KY where a customer had a bat flying around in their house. We responded immediately and captured the bat. After talking to the customer we found out that the bat was in the same room as a sleeping baby. We explained to the customer that bats can potentially have rabies and being in the same room as the baby, they may not know if the baby had been bitten. Even though the chances of being bitten by a bat carrying rabies is slim, we always suggest that the bat be sent off for testing just to be sure.

After an exciting night of hunting down a bat we returned to the customer’s house the next morning to perform an inspection of the house for bat entry. If a bat is found in a house this time of year there are usually more bats living in the house. This customer also indicated to us that they had been hearing a scratching sound in there ceiling on warmer nights. After the inspection was complete we were able to determine where the bats were getting in and we were able to let the customer know what would need to be done to remove the bats and keep them out.

Have you been thinking, “What is scratching in my wall” or know you have bats in your house? Give Tri-State Wildlife Management a call at (859)635-0037 or visit our website at Tri-StateWildlifeManagement.com. We service the Northern Kentucky, Indiana, and Cincinnati Tri-State area.
