We removed our first round of raccoon kits from an attic a week and a half ago signaling the start of the 2015 raccoon birthing season. Since then we have received many calls regarding raccoons invading crawlspaces, attics, under sheds as well as additions of homes. Making sure your home is well fortified is the key to preventing these conflicts with raccoons and other animals.

 Often raccoons can go undetected under a home or shed for a long period of time but all that changes when there noisy offspring are born. Young Raccoons are very vocal and are often heard cackling and squealing under our structures alarming the people residing above and prompting a phone call to Animal Evictor for Raccoon removal, Also the females will spend more time awake creating their own noises as well do to the kits keeping her up during the day while frequently moving and feeding.

 It is not uncommon to see a Female Raccoon out during daylight hours this time of year because the females will need a break from the kids now and then and will sometimes go take a nap in a tree or secondary nesting location to get away from the hungry kits and get some much needed rest. Take extreme caution when encountering any raccoon wandering about in the daytime, the animal is likely agitated or sick when this behavior is displayed.

 This is a fast, fun, relentless and exciting time for us at Animal Evictor because our goal is always same day raccoon removal. This creates some interesting and sometimes scary stories for us to share with our friends, family, and our much appreciated Animal Evictor clientele. Also Be sure to use caution this time of year when going into crawlspaces and attics for servicing or pulling out stored items, you never know when a grumpy raccoon mom could be hiding behind items or nesting near access spots creating a hazardous and potentially life threating situation for you and your family.

Over the past few weeks Animal Evictor has been slammed with starling related phone calls. The early onset of spring in the northwest was shortly followed by the early mating practices of those pesky Starlings. Starlings can be very bold and intrusive with there nesting habits and often take refuge in our attics and exhausts vents causing contamination, damaged vent screens and clogged bathroom or kitchen vent lines. Not to mention the disturbing noises, bad odors, and bird mites that often come along with a starlings nesting area. The condition of our soffit vent screens and placement of vent guards is key to preventing starling issues as well as sealing off connecting roofline gaps. Often construction company's will have there bottom dollar guide the decision making in what type of screening materials to use when installing the soffit screens on homes and will install cheep screens to the back sides of the soffit blocks that birds can peck thru instead of quality 1/4 inch galvanized hardware cloth. This allows a easy opportunity for Starlings to invade our attics. Another common misconception is that the louvers or "flaps" on the exhaust vents will keep critters out of the vent lines. Starlings and other birds can easily lift up the louvers and enter and exit these vent at will. A properly fit bird and rodent guard can be installed in minutes and can prevent costly damages and vent lines that are clogged with bird feces and nesting materials. If the vent is an unusual size or shape a custom cut and fit screen made of high quality materials should be attached to the home. In the case of starling making entry thru connecting roofline gaps the birds can be flushed from the space and the gap can then be immediately sealed with appropriate materials based upon the homes construction and location of the gap. If you need assistants in the removal of starlings or the cleanup and removal of nesting materials in the attic or vent lines call Animal Evictor today to schedule your inspection and let us Evict the bird for you..1-877-405-7728  Michael Holmquist - Animal Evictor.
