Raccoons are one of the most destructive pest animals there are. They tend to climb onto the rooftop of a home using gutter spouts, corners of a house, up the side of chimneys, and most commonly from overhanging trees close to the roof. Raccoon removal is performed by setting traps in the most traveled areas by the raccoons. In some instances, traps may be placed on the roof. Some raccoons can be “cage shy” because they have been previously captured in a live cage tra, and are smart enough to avoid similar traps in the future. We at Buckeye Wildlife Solutions of Columbus will provide raccoon trapping services for five days or until the damage stops. If no raccoons are caught in that period, they have likely relocated due to the traps being there. Raccoons are intelligent nuisance critters who know when trouble is coming.

Columbus, OH Bat Removal & Control Services.

Bats can be one of the most difficult wildlife species to remove from a home. If bats are infesting the attic area, a full-home exclusion must be performed. This involves finding the main entrances the bats are using and installing an exclusion device over that main entry area. This will allow the bats to fly free and clear of the home, and will be unable to re-enter. The entire home must be sealed up to prevent the bats from entering another area. We use special material that is guaranteed to last. Thorough sealing work must be done because bats are extremely talented at finding additional entry areas. They locate these spots by utilizing their sonar hearing to detect drafts coming from gaps that lead to the attic. Buckeye Wildlife Solutions specializes in the removal of nuisance bats and have been doing so for 44 years of accumulative experience between our 3 operators. Experience is key when doing a bat removal job because if 1 area is left unsealed, the bats will make their way back inside the structure. Generally the cost of a bat exclusion can range between $1500 – $3500 depending on how large the structure is, and how many areas need sealant work done. Call Buckeye Wildlife Solutions today for professional bat eviction services in Columbus Ohio. All bat jobs come with a minimum 1 year guarantee included in the estimate.
