Have you ever had those pesky skunks living under your porch or shed? You know the one that occasionally sprays your dog or keeps you standing prisoner at your door waiting till they will leave!
Our trench prevention services will rid you of critters that take up residence under structures such as sheds, porches, decks, garages, and even your home.
What is trench prevention?
Trench prevention is our way of keeping any type of trenching (digging nuisance wildlife) animal out of from underneath certain structures. It allows us to give our customers a long term solution to a problem that for many years was controlled by simply trapping. Trapping these animals is still widely used by professionals in our industry and is often used by Precision Wildlife in combination with trench prevention. Our trenching services come with a written warranty of 2-5 years.
Skunks, Opossums, Ground Hogs, Raccoons, Feral Cats
We often use one way exclusion doors with trench prevention for these nuisance animals and can eliminate the trapping all together. This is only done during certain times of year when we are sure there are no young involved.
Trapping services alone are certainly available from Precision Wildlife but we can assure you if it is a structure of some type that the wildlife is being removed from then new wildlife will return if certain precautions are not taken. Animals leave behind certain scents that attract other animals to the area therefore enticing animals to take up residence in the newly vacated den.
So, there not in my house what's the big deal?
We understand! Services provided by Precision Wildlife and other wildlife control operators is not meant to set up shop every time a nuisance animal is seen. We understand that nuisance animals are adapting to their new environments as we limit their already scarce resources needed for survival. It is our job to understand each situation and handle it in a proper manner keeping nuisance wildlife and us in balance.
Nuisance wildlife that has a den under structures like your home or something close to your home can cause situations that are unsafe and more likely unpleasant. For example skunks living under your addition with no basement not so bad. They go in and out as they need, they forage during the late night and early morning hours and occasionally spray when confronted or during mating season. I can live with that.
Well, here's when we usually get the call!........
"How fast can you get here?"
"My house stinks like a skunk, we can't even stay there!!!!"
Usually this means you have a dead skunk under your house or under a structure real close. Skunks can die of many things, they can get injured by a car or another animal and then wander back to its den for safety, or they can die of natural causes. Whatever the case these situations are never pleasant. Remember that hole going under your house you thought something might be using, well now we have to find a way to remove that dead skunk and deodorize your home and the areas affected. A circumstance that could have certainly been avoided if you had only been informed of the benefits of trench prevention and proper wildlife management.
