Missouri's climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters, brings various wildlife into proximity with residents in areas like Columbia. These seasonal shifts drive the need for our specialized services. We provide comprehensive wildlife control solutions across the state.
The diverse Missouri seasons, from humid summers that encourage insect populations (food for bats and birds) to freezing winters that drive mammals like mice and squirrels into warmer structures, create distinct wildlife challenges. Homes in Columbia and surrounding areas often have attics, basements, or crawl spaces that become targets for seeking shelter. Our approach begins with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact wildlife problem and its source. We then utilize humane removal techniques followed by preventative measures to seal entry points and deter future intrusions.
Some homeowners attempt to deter animals with scents like ammonia or predator urine. However, these methods often provide only temporary relief and are not a substitute for professional exclusion. For effective, long-term solutions in Missouri, our targeted removal and sealing services are recommended.
There is no charge for discussing your wildlife concerns over the phone. The cost of our services is determined by the nature of the wildlife issue, including the type of animal, the accessibility of the problem area, and the necessary steps for removal and prevention. We will provide a clear quote after an inspection.
The 3-3-3 rule is typically related to the adjustment period for adopted dogs. It suggests three days for settling in, three weeks for learning routines, and three months for feeling at home. This concept does not apply to our wildlife control operations, which focus on immediate removal and exclusion.
Our focus is on nuisance wildlife, not domestic pets. If you need assistance with stray cats in Missouri, please contact your local animal shelter or a humane society. For problems involving raccoons, squirrels, bats, or other wild animals, our team is prepared to help.
We address issues with common nuisance wildlife such as squirrels, raccoons, bats, opossums, skunks, and rodents that have infiltrated homes, businesses, or other structures. Our expertise lies in the safe and efficient removal of these animals and securing your property against their return.
Upon receiving a call from Columbia, we schedule a technician to visit your property. The inspection will identify the specific nuisance animal, locate all entry points, and assess any damage. Based on this assessment, we develop and present a plan for humane removal and permanent exclusion.
