What Do Exterminators Do with the Animals They Remove?

For non-invasive and non-threatening wildlife, such as raccoons, squirrels, or opossums, our team often relocates them to appropriate natural habitats. We understand that wildlife removal is a sensitive issue that requires expertise, compassion, and ethical considerations. When it comes to managing wildlife removal, our trained professionals focus on the immediate removal of the animals and adhere to best practices that prioritize humane treatment and long-term solutions.

Before doing so, we ensure that the animals are healthy and fit for release. Relocation involves taking the animal far enough from residential areas to prevent them from returning but close enough to suitable resources like food, water, and shelter. We strictly adhere to local and state wildlife laws to ensure ethical practices.

The Removal Process

When our exterminators are called to handle a wildlife situation, our first step is to conduct a thorough inspection of your property. We assess the type of animals involved, their potential entry points, and any damage they may have caused. This helps us devise a tailored wildlife removal strategy that is both effective and safe.

Once we identify the animals, our team utilizes specialized traps that are designed to capture wildlife without causing harm. It’s important to note that our approach differs significantly from traditional extermination methods, which often emphasize lethal solutions. Instead, our focus is on humane capture and relocation.

Humane Relocation

After successfully trapping the animals, we follow strict protocols for their relocation. Depending on local laws and regulations, we carefully transport the animals to a designated wildlife sanctuary or an area far enough away from residential neighborhoods to ensure they can thrive without returning to human habitation. This process is conducted with the utmost care to minimize stress on the animals.

Compliance with Local Regulations

Our team is fully aware of and compliant with local wildlife laws and regulations. Many regions have specific guidelines regarding the capture and relocation of certain species. As professionals, we respect these guidelines to ensure that our practices not only protect the animals but also align with community standards and conservation efforts.

Prevention and Education

Beyond removal, our responsibility extends to educating homeowners about preventive measures. After relocating the animals, we provide insights on how to secure your property against future intrusions. This may include sealing potential entry points, removing food sources, and creating an environment that discourages wildlife from making your home their own.
