Squirrel Trapping and Control – Squirrels are small, desructive furry rodents who become a nuisance when they enter attics, soffits, and other areas of buildings.Squirrels are capable of causing damage through their gnawing activities, including creating a fire risk when they gnaw through the insulation on wires. Squirrels
also contaminate buildings with the shed hairs, urine, and droppings, and the parasites they carry can transmit many serious arboviral diseases.For more information please visit http://squirrelremovals.com.

Raccoon Trapping and Control – Raccoons are intelligent, medium-sized destructive mammals who frequently take up residence in attics, chimneys, sheds, barns, and other homes and buildings. Raccoons are stocky, powerful animals who can become aggressive and cause serious injury if approached. Raccoons also have a high incidence of rabies, and their parasites can vector many serious diseases. Raccoon control usually is accomplished by trapping and then having a professional
identify areas needed for animal damage repair and prevention. Raccoons will use separate areas in a attic as toilets and the fecal and urine matter can cause the spread of dangerous diseases such as raccoon roundworm and other diseases.For more info please visit http://raccoonremovals.com

Bat Control and Removal – Bats are beneficial mammals because they consume about 1000 insects an hour each during their nightly flights and up to 600o-8000 insects in one evening and basically eat their weight in insects with each nights flights. Bats become a nuisance when they nest in attics, barns, bell towers, soffits, and other parts of buildings. Their guano (droppings) contain disease-causing organisms, their parasites can transmit serious diseases, and the bats
themselves have a high incidence of rabies. Bat control is accomplished primarily by exclusion or the use of one way exit doors. The use of glueboards, mothballs are in many parts of the country illegal since many bats species are endangered and protected by the federal government and many local and state agencies.The trapping and use of nets with bats is illegal in some parts of the country because many get injured and can no longer fly. For more information on bats please visit
http://batremovals.com

Skunk Control- Skunks (polecats) are medium-sized, primarily nocturnal animals whose diet consists mainly of insects and small rodents. as well as grasses,berries, and other plant products. They also are one of the few animals who eat honeybees. Although passive by nature, skunks will defend themselves with a foul-smelling spray that they can discharge with pinpoint if they feel threatened. This ability is the main reason why skunks are disliked. For more information visit http://skunkremovals.com

Attic Restoration Services – Many times when wildlife such as birds,bats ,raccoons and other species enter an attic they will leave large deposits of urine and fecal material in your attic. The insulation should be removed in affected areas, and the area cleaned up properly and the potential for disease to be transmitted to you, your family and pets is very important. Failure to have your attic cleaned up professionally can also affect the resale value of your home, property or structure.

Wildlife Operator’s White Nose Syndrome (WNS) Task Force
Posted by

The wildlife control industry through a network of wildlife control operators volunteers has formed a Wildlife Operators White Nose Syndrome (WNS) Task Force to work with the scientific community on the collection of nuisance roost data.

Our nations bat population is very important to our eco system . The wildlife control industry can be counted on to do our part in helping solve the mystery and provide whatever man power and data needed to help the scientific community on their White Nose Syndrome and any other wildlife research projects in the future.

The Task Force consists of the National Coordinator, Craig Coon, a private nuisance wildlife control business owner based in Saratoga Springs, New York. Mr Coon has diligently been communicating with the USFS, NYDEC, other state agencies, universities and conservation groups. He is actively seeking volunteers within the nuisance wildlife control community to volunteer as State Coordinators (many have already been set up), individual volunteers from any state can help in the collection of nuisance roost data and are encouraged to contact Mr. Coon at 518-584-5201.

The task force has can be found online at http://www.wildlifepro.net/group/wnstaskforce and any member of the nuisance wildlife control community is encouraged to join and take part in this worthy effort. As an update, many bat species have already been depleted in the states of New York and Vermont, with similar expectations in New Jersey. White nose syndrome has been identified and observed in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Vermont and Virginia and predicted to affect the Midwest states of Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. Al Hicks of the NY DEC, has been quoted “WNS coming to a cave near you soon”.

A video of the first WNS Seminar with the Scientific Community and the wildlife control industry can be viewed in three parts at http://wildlifecontrol.tv/wns-white-nose-syndrome-symposium-video.html

Those interested in getting involved with the Nuisance wildlife control communities efforts can contact Mr Coon directly and send a message and their contact information to:

White Nosed Syndrome To Connect NWCO’s And Scientists To Collect Roost Bat Data
Posted by

On May 5th, 2009 at 7 pm a white nose syndrome symposium will be held during the wildlife damage conference in Saratoga Springs NY, the focus of this symposium will be to connect NWCO’s (nuisance wildlife control operators) with the scientific community to discuss summer roost data. there will be several members from the scientific arena who are currently working on WNS, Al Hicks (nys dec) , Jeremy Coleman (US Fish and Wildlife), Scott Darling (Vermont Fish and Wildlife) among others.

Wildlife control operators have the most contact with bats and their roosts in summer. The efforts by the nwco community will bring in valuable data for the researchers on summer roost data on bats, until now the summer data is very limited. this cooperative effort will lend to the collection of data within a 15 state radius from Albany Ny .

Craig Coon who owner of Adirondack Dundee in upstate ny has created a task force of NWCO’s who will be participating in field data collection. The nwcos will be from states within a 9 hundred mile radius from Albany NY. We strongly encourage any and all nwco’s who would like to participate to contact Mr coon, he can be reached either by email (adirondackdundee@aol.com) or phone (518-584-5201).

White Nose Syndrome -Bat Disease Spreading Faster Across The South East USA
Posted by

Two years ago very few ever heard of this bat disease since it was both unknown outside of the Albany New York area. Today this bat disease is found in New York, New Hampshire,, Vermont, New Jersey,Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia.

This bat disease has been affecting over 90% of cave dwelling bats in these areas and having a devastating effect on the control of mosquitos and on the pollination of our crops that feed us and found in our grocery stores. This disease is spreading rapidly and soon will affect agriculture in every part of the South Eastern United States.

To learn more about this disease and how it affects the entire wildlife control industry please READ THE ARTICLE
