Houghton Le Spring Wildlife Control

Wildlife is the term for a range of kinds of animal, from mammals like rats, mice and squirrels to other insects such as wasps and bees. Even though many of these animals do not cause severe damage to homes or crops, some can cause severe damage if they’re present in large numbers. Wildlife control is an intricate procedure that can have significant impacts on the ecosystem of a location and so should only be carried out carefully by skilled professionals.

Most wildlife control will begin with a survey of the species present in a certain area. This will give you information about which species are probably causing problems and which may need special care to be taken during the pest control treatment to avoid injuring them. If there are any protected species in the region it is illegal to cause injury or death to them, therefore any pest control treatment must be sensitive to this.

Wildlife control will more than likely also require deterrence measures such as secure fencing or the removal of any food source that a pest animal may be using. These measures are more humane than capturing or kiling pests, and may even be significantly more effective as eradicating pest animals may often not have a substantial impact on the pest population in an area.
