Wildlife in and around a home can be frustrating and costly for any homeowner. Wildlife control is important because wildlife around your property can pose health risks, damage your property, or sometimes just be too close for comfort.

Terminix technicians are well-versed in handling a variety of pests and are equipped to provide effective trapping and exclusion techniques to protect your home from unwanted wildlife and other common pests native to your area.
How wildlife can damage your home
Wildlife can cause all kinds of damage, whether they are around or inside your home. Some common wildlife, such as raccoons, skunks, or pigeons, can build nests on your roof or in your attic that could result in significant roof damage. Groundhogs, armadillos, opossums, and raccoons may harm your gardens or landscaping by digging holes or eating plants. Pigeons, sparrows, and starlings can spread diseases by leaving behind droppings on or around your property.
Wildlife can be a real headache to control on your own, so it’s always best to contact a professional. At Terminix, our technicians have industry-leading knowledge and expertise to provide you with safe and effective wildlife removal and control services.

Contrary to popular belief, cheese is not a good bait for mice or rats. Peanut butter and chocolate can be great DIY bait options if you don’t put too much on the trap. Work the bait onto the trap’s trigger so that it’s hard for the rodent to get it off, and it will be forced to climb the trigger. Or you can always call Terminix for professional rodent control. Our technicians are experts in trapping mice and rats and will use various effective techniques to ensure your home is protected from rodents.
*Please do not use peanut butter as bait if you or someone in your household has a peanut allergy.
