Bat Removal Ft. Thomas, KY: Do you have bats living in your attic or chimney? If you had bats in your home last year, they will be back this year. Since spring has finally decided to come to the tri-state area, now is the best time to begin ridding your home of bats. Early spring is a great time to mitigate bats, for two reasons. First, spring is here to stay, so bats are active most nights.  Big brown bats, which stay here for the winter, are no longer in a state of hibernation. Little brown bats migrate south for the winter, and with the warm weather, will be (or are) returning.

The second reason early spring is a great time to mitigate bats is that females have not birthed their young. Once mid-May arrives, females begin having young, and full exclusion work must be put on hold. Some females may birth their young as late as July, so full exclusion work can only begin once all bats are capable of flying, which is usually mid-August. Tri-State Wildlife Management stays in close contact with the bat biologist at the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, who tells us, on a year to year basis, when all juveniles are flying.

Tri-State Wildlife Management handles bat removal and exclusion differently than other home-invading species; instead of trapping, bats are removed only through an exclusion process. We use bat exclusion equipment that allows bats to leave your home, but the equipment makes reentry impossible. Bats can fit through the tiniest of gaps, so our experienced technician completes a thorough inspection of your home or business to determine all entry points and at risk areas. After we are sure all bats have left, entries are repaired with wildlife grade construction materials. Bats are very persistent creatures, and without all entries and at risk areas repaired, with bat deterrent materials, they will find a way back into your home. Tri-State Wildlife Management is so confident in their bat exclusion work that we back up our exclusion repairs with a 100% guarantee.

Ohio Canada Goose Removal Tri-State Wildlife Management

Tri-State Wildlife Management – Protecting You, Your Property, and Your Investment

Ohio Canada Goose Removal: Dayton Daily News ran a relevant story on the increase in Canada Geese residing in Ohio. The Canada goose population in Ohio is roughly 130,000; only two decades ago, this number was less than half of the current population. Tri-State Wildlife Management knows all too well the nuisance Canada geese can become, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife says complaints have risen with the increase in population. In 1990, only 100 complaints were made concerning Canada geese. Within the past two years, 2000 online complaints have been issued. Canada goose droppings are a huge problem, as well as aggressive geese.

If unwanted Canada geese are invading the green space of your yard or town, you already know what a nuisance they can be. Canada Geese are the leading nuisance bird for lakes, parks, golf courses, businesses and homes in close proximity to water.  Aside from the overall noise and distraction, unwanted avian guests leave heaps of droppings, feathers and debris, which are unsightly and unsanitary. These droppings are often masses of diseases and can pose serious health risks. In addition to the mess, Canada Geese become very aggressive during nesting seasons and are notorious for attacking people when in close proximity to their nest.

If your home, property, or town has become subject to a Canada goose infestation, or simply a nesting pair, don’t delay, call Tri-State Wildlife Management before it gets any worse.  Tri-State Wildlife Management is a full service bird control specialist and will help rid your property of any pesky, winged intruders.

Cold Spring, KY Squirrel Removal

March 6th, 2015

For squirrel or wildlife removal in Covington, KY or anywhere in northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, or southeast Indiana, call Tri-State Wildlife Management.

Tri-State Wildlife Management Cold Spring KY Squirrel Removal

Tri-State Wildlife Management – Protecting You, Your Property, and Your Investment

Cold Spring, KY Squirrel Removal: Do you hear noise coming from your attic? Do you hear scratching or running, especially during the daylight hours? If you answered yes to these questions, you may have a squirrel(s) living in your attic. This time of year, Tri-State Wildlife Management (TSWM) is working with many customers who are experiencing squirrel problems. As a full service company, we initiate an Integrated Wildlife Management Program beginning with an inspection and customer education.

Tri-State Wildlife Management is oftentimes able to complete an inspection from the outside of a home, since construction gaps used by squirrels for entry begin on the outside, and because trapping ordinarily takes place on the outside of the home. However, attic inspections are also typically done this time of year because many female squirrels have had their young, but the young are not yet able to venture outside. Tri-State Wildlife Management is very adamant about the importance of determining the whereabouts of any juveniles to prevent any animal from getting blocked inside.

Even if the inspection determines that the violating animal is something other than a squirrel, Tri-State Wildlife Management can take care of it. Other wild animals besides squirrels that commonly invade the attic spaces of homes include raccoons, mice, and bats. After a home inspection, TSWM begins the removal and exclusion process. We have a carpenter on staff that effectively excludes wildlife and repairs damages, but also knows and understands the importance of aesthetics.  TSWM also offers prevention, restoration, and cleanup services.

Tri-State Wildlife Management uses a variety of products and methods for repairs, prevention, and restoration.  TSWM seals homes and businesses with specialized wildlife restoration products, installs custom and standard chimney caps, vent screens/coverings, as well as barrier walls and fencing. TSWM provides habitat modification as another preventative technique. We strive for the most humane and environmentally effective techniques for dealing with wildlife problems. Tri-State Wildlife Management’s use of modern innovative methods provides sound wildlife management services to ensure the protection of our customers’ investments and health.

Tri-State Wildlife Management is fully insured, and we stand behind all of our work.

Covington, KY Mouse Removal (41011): Mice are the most common wild animal to invade homes and businesses, although they often go undetected. Typically, when someone with a mouse invasion problem calls Tri-State Wildlife Management, it’s because they hear scratching in their ceiling, walls, or duct work. Some common visual mouse signs include holes or chew marks in cardboard, nibble marks in food, crumbs, or mouse droppings, although visual signs are not usually detected.

Tri-State Wildlife Management can take care of your mouse issue for you. As a full service company, TSWM will complete a home inspection and begin a trapping program. In addition, TSWM educates customers on how to remove and deter mice from your home.

Tri-State Wildlife Management Covington, KY Squirrel Removal (41015)

Covington, KY Squirrel Removal (41015): Residents and business owners in the Covington, KY area have been bombarded with winter storms, bringing along dangerous ice and many inches of snow. Local meteorologists are calling for more snow this afternoon into the night. Winter storms can cause quite the headache, and plenty of inconveniences. It often seems that when we are faced with one problem, other issues begin cropping up, sometime related, other times unrelated to the first issue; your furnace may go out, your hot water heater stops working, a home appliance dies, the car won’t start, pipes freeze or burst, etc.

The above mentioned issues are pretty typical, and we hear about them frequently. Another common, but less talked about issue that many people in the Covington, KY area are facing right now is wildlife, especially squirrels, invading their home or business. Tri-State Wildlife Management is receiving many calls from residents and business owners in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati who are experiencing a squirrel invasion.

Now is the time of year where female squirrels are having and raising their young, and many choose to do so in attics of homes and businesses. Attics are ideal den sites for squirrels, especially with juveniles, because of the warmth and dryness that attics provide. Because many female squirrels now have young, Tri-State Wildlife must be extremely careful when implementing a removal and exclusion program. Andrew, Tri-State Wildlife Management’s lead technician, is up to the challenge, though. He has plenty of experience and takes every precaution to ensure no squirrels are left in an attic before entry points are repaired and squirrels are fully excluded.

Squirrels can be one of the most destructive home-intruding animals.  They often gnaw on wood, cables or electrical wiring, and almost any stored item.  The gnawing of wire is perhaps the scariest damage they do – stripping the insulation from the wires increases the chances of a short and the risk of fire. Gnawing is exactly how squirrels gain entry into your home in the first place and can chew through most construction materials, including gutter board, soffits, louver vents, siding, and fascia board.

If you suspect squirrels are in your attic, hear noises in the attic or have squirrels crossing the roof, call Tri-State Wildlife Management.  We are experts in eliminating squirrel problems through our squirrel removal and exclusion services.  We can diagnose your problem, remove the squirrels, and provide the necessary repairs to cover holes and construction gaps that are allowing them entry into your home or business.

To have your squirrel problem taken care of sooner rather than later, call us today! Put our experience and expertise to work for you!

Tri-State Wildlife Management is fully insured, and we stand behind all of our work.

Covington, KY Skunk Removal (41011)

February 26th, 2015

Tri-State Wildlife Management – Protecting You, Your Property, and Your Investment

Skunk Removal Covington KY Tri-State Wildlife Management

Covington, KY Skunk Removal (41011):  If you have an encounter with a skunk, it can be a bit unsettling. Skunks are notorious for emitting a strong, foul odor when they feel cornered or threatened. For that reason, people want to get away from a skunk just as much as the skunk wants to get away from them. If you spot a skunk in your yard or if you smell a strong skunk spray coming from your property, you may have a skunk(s) denning nearby. Another possibility is that a skunk has died nearby, which would cause a continual foul odor until fully decomposed, which can take up to a couple of years.

January and February is the skunk mating season, so males are traveling long distances to find mates. If you’re lucky, a skunk you see on your property could just be a passerby. Usually when a customer calls Tri-State Wildlife Management about a skunk problem, it’s because they smell the skunk rather than see it. During the winter months, skunks become more dormant, although they do not hibernate. Males typically den by themselves, but females can den in groups up to 12.

Earlier this week, Andrew, Tri-State Wildlife Management’s technician, went on an interesting skunk call. A customer called reporting a strong skunk smell coming from his cellar. In order to gain access to the cellar (the stairway had previously been blocked off when an addition was made on the house), the homeowner cut an opening in the floor.  When Andrew arrived, he lowered himself down the hole to find two skunks. One skunk had already expired, but the other was still alive. When a skunk dies, it’s anal scent gland leaks during the decay process, creating a long-lasting, poignant odor. The skunks had gained entry through an opening in the foundation but could not climb back out.

The incident earlier in the week was not a typical skunk call. Normally, Tri-State Wildlife Management determines that skunks are denning under porches, decks, stoops, or sheds. Another common situation is that a skunk will fall in a window well and not be able to get back out. Regardless of the situation, Tri-State Wildlife Management has the right experience and is equipped for any skunk scenario. At Tri-State Wildlife Management, we offer complete removal, clean-up and deodorization of buildings and materials that have been contaminated or damaged by skunks. We also go a step further by offering repair and prevention services. We offer a long term solution to your skunk issues, including habitat alteration and customer education.

Tri-State Wildlife Management is fully insured and we stand behind all our work

Tri-State Wildlife Management Wilder, KY juvenile squirrels

Juvenile squirrels removed from northern Kentucky attic

Wilder, KY Squirrel Removal: Are squirrels invading your home and eating away at your soffits and eves? Squirrels can be one of the most destructive home-intruding animals.  They often gnaw on wood, cables or electrical wiring and almost any stored item.  The gnawing of wire is perhaps the scariest damage they do – stripping the insulation from the wires increases the chances of a short and the risk of fire.

If you suspect squirrels are in your attic, hear noises in the attic or have squirrels crossing the roof, call Tri-State Wildlife Management.  We are experts in eliminating squirrel problems through our squirrel removal and exclusion services.  We can diagnose your problem, remove the squirrels, and provide the necessary repairs to fix holes and construction gaps that are allowing them entry into your home or business.

Tri-State Wildlife Management continues to receive many calls from people in northern Kentucky, including Wilder, who are experiencing a squirrel problem. Squirrels are finding their way into the attics and chimneys of homes and businesses and taking up comfortable residency there. An attic is a much more comfortable den site than a tree, so many squirrels take the opportunity to move in whenever possible. A squirrel will take advantage of any hole on a home the size of a tennis ball or larger, but they usually just chew until they make a hole big enough to fit through.Unfortunately, most homes are susceptible to a squirrel invasion because squirrels can gnaw their way through most construction materials including siding, soffits, fascia board, gutters, and louver vents.

Now is the time of year when squirrels are having young, so Tri-State Wildlife Management must take extra precautions when removing and excluding squirrels from homes. Before inspecting the outside of a home for entry points, Tri-State Wildlife Management’s technician inspects the attic to find any juveniles that may be present. Right now, juvenile squirrels are too young to venture outside, so they cannot be removed in a conventional trapping manner.

Regardless of the circumstance, the courteous staff at Tri-State Wildlife Management works for you to provide a cost effective solution to your squirrel intrusion and/or damage issue. As a full service company, we initiate an Integrated Wildlife Management Program beginning with an inspection and customer education, followed by removal of intrusive wildlife and repair of wildlife damage. TSWM also offers prevention, restoration, and cleanup services.

Tri-State Wildlife Management had a full week coming back from the NWCOA expo. Most work TSWM is doing right now involves squirrels. Each day last week, there was between 2-5 squirrel jobs to work on. Starlings, raccoons, skunks, bats, and rats have also been on the schedule, but not nearly as much as squirrels. Squirrels take advantage of attics, soffits, gutter lines, and chimneys for comfortable nest sites. They can gnaw open a hole on most construction materials, so even the best constructed and maintained home can fall prey to a squirrel invasion.

Squirrels breed between mid-December to early January, so young may be present as early as the very end of January. For this reason, trapping at this time of year must be done very carefully to ensure no juveniles are left inside of a structure with no way out. Young begin venturing outside at about 10 to 12 weeks when they are weaned, which is roughly sometime in April or May. In order to remedy a squirrel problem during a time when young are present, TSWM must often go into an attic to reach juveniles.

If you suspect squirrels are in your attic, hear noises in the attic or have squirrels crossing the roof, you should call Tri-State Wildlife Management.  We are experts in eliminating squirrel problems through our squirrel removal and exclusion services.  We can diagnose your problem, remove the squirrels, and provide the necessary repairs to cover holes and construction gaps that are allowing them entry into your home or business.

Bat Removal Tri-State Wildlife Management: If you’ve ever had to rid your home of bats, you’re not alone. Even celebrities aren’t immune to bat invasions. Ironically, Ozzy Osbourne is dealing with this issue right now. Thirty three years ago, Osbourne bit off the head of bat that a fan threw on stage. He thought it was a fake, but instead, he had to go through some very real rabies shots.  According to Blabbermouth, during a renovation of a home in Buckinghamshire, England, evidence of bats was discovered. England has stringent bat translocation laws that must be obeyed, and illegally removing bats could end in a $7,000 fine per bat. For more on this story, read the full Blabbermouth article here: OZZY OSBOURNE Must Pay $27,000 To Rid His Home Of Bats.

Ft. Mitchell, KY Raccoon Removal

Tri-State Wildlife Management is fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind all our work

Ft. Mitchell, KY Raccoon Removal: Attics are ideal den sites for raccoons, providing warmth and protection from the elements. During the winter, they become less active, and in severe cold or during a hard winter storm, they may stay in their den for many days. Typically, February is the beginning of raccoon mating season, extending into March. Most raccoon litters are born in April or May, but as late as August. Young typically stay with the female through their first winter and then disperse the following spring. Tri-State Wildlife Management understands the importance of the timing of a raccoon trapping program, always being aware and taking precautions when juveniles may be present.

It is surprising to many home or business owners that a raccoon can easily gain access to their roof and attic, but raccoons have excellent climbing abilities. It is very common to see dark smudge marks on a downspout of a home where a raccoon has been climbing to gain access to an attic. Unfortunately, raccoon damage doesn’t end with a little bit of discoloration on a downspout; raccoons wreak havoc on shingles, gutters, soffits, fascia, and louver vents in an (usually successful) effort to gain access to the attic. Tri-State Wildlife Management understands the persistence and strength of raccoons, so we only use the top of the line wildlife grade construction materials when excluding raccoons from a home and making the necessary repairs.

Raccoons also make a mess of the inside of attics, both by ripping insulation and creating foul latrines.  If coming in contact with a raccoon latrine, safety precautions must be taken. Raccoons are the most common carriers of raccoon roundworm, a parasite that can be passed to humans, although small children are most vulnerable. The larvae of the worm goes through muscles and organs, potentially causing a serious infection that can lead to death, although this is rare.  When necessary or requested, Tri-State Wildlife Management provides attic clean-outs, safely removing contaminated insulation and replacing it with new insulation.

Tri-State Wildlife Management strives for the most humane and environmentally effective techniques for dealing with wildlife problems. Tri-State Wildlife Management’s use of modern innovative methods provides sound wildlife management services to ensure the protection of our customers’ investments and health.
