Farmington Wildlife Animal Control
Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Farmington, NM
If you have a problem with wildlife in your Farmington home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in New Mexico wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing New Mexico and Farmington, and I recommend the following:
4 Corners Animal Removal
Cell Phone: 970-345-3181

4 Corners Animal Removal specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. New Mexico also has a documented problem with
bats in buildings, and 4 Corners Animal Removal is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the
property. Call 970-345-3181 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

- Fully New Mexico and San Juan County licensed and insured

- Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
- Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
- Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste
4 Corners Animal Removal is a full-service Farmington wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Farmington pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all
similar to wildlife removal. 4 Corners Animal Removal performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All
animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and
cleanup is sometimes recommended.
Farmington wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in New Mexico to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement
is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know.
Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to New Mexico law. We offer Farmington raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.
Animals in attics - this is our specialty at 4 Corners Animal Removal. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live
and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Farmington squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.
Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed.
Never, ever use poison! Most Farmington exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Farmington rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.
Bat removal is a highly specialized task. New Mexico is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and
cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Farmington pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Farmington bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.
If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Farmington trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Farmington wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points
into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. 4 Corners Animal Removal does both.
The above are just some of the services offered by 4 Corners Animal Removal. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc.
Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. 4 Corners Animal Removal
also provides dead animal removal in Farmington. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Farmington snake removal - most of the snakes in New Mexico are not venomous, but
call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Farmington. And remember, we are a private business, not San Juan County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 505-599-1098.
San Juan County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Farmington Wildlife Tip #1:
Can a Flying Squirrel actually fly?
Contrary to popular wisdom, flying squirrels are not able to fly. What they do is glide through the air. They do this by making full use of their thin membranes that span the entire length of their bodies. One can compare their gliding motion with that of a glider. Originating a long time ago, the flying squirrel has been around for approximately eighteen to twenty million years.
Cannot fly like birds and bats
Flying squirrels are not able to fly in the way a bat or bird flies. They use a gliding technique that allows them to glide through the air. There are two main types of flying squirrels in North America and these are the Northern flying squirrel and the Southern flying squirrel. Both these types do not actually fly.
Southern and northern variety
The southern flying squirrel is normally found in the southern parts of Caned and also in south Florida. The Northern variety on the other hand make their homes in Alaska and in the northern parts of Canada. They are also known to inhabit parts of Tennessee.
Flying squirrels do not actually fly
There is something truly fascinating about the flying squirrel. One look at it gracefully gliding through the air and you will think of these fearless creatures to be very interesting. However, they are not actually flying but they are only moving from one tree to the next in a gliding motion. Their patagium is a membrane stretching from one limb to the other and this membrane also stretches from the wrist of the squirrel to its ankles.
Different types of flying squirrels
There are different types of flying squirrels and each type has a different anatomy. However, they all have the membrane that traverses the length of their bodies. The larger variety however also have the membrane between their back legs. this additional feature makes it easier for the large flying squirrel to glide.
Tail functions like a parachute
The smaller types of flying squirrels do not have the membrane between their back legs but their tails are featherlike. The tail of the flying squirrel behaves like a parachute when the squirrel is falling. The long tail of the flying squirrel enables it to remain more stable in flight.
Flying squirrels are also smaller than other types of squirrels and they also have several adaptations that help them to ‘fly'. For example, they have bones in the limbs that are longer than that of a regular squirrel. At the same time, their bones in their hands are smaller than what you find in a regular squirrel.
This allows them to guide themselves while gliding in the air and they also have more control over their flight path. It is believed that flying squirrels are able to have total control over their glide path and they are able to create a lift mid-flight that makes it easy for them to glide to distances of about three hundred feet in a single flight.
Farmington Wildlife Tip #2:
New Mexico Wildlife Information:
New Mexico State Bird: Roadrunner
State mammal: American black bear
State reptile: New Mexico whiptail lizard
State amphibian: New Mexico spadefoot toad
State fish: Rio Grande cutthroat trout
State insect: Tarantula hawk wasp
New Mexico has very little surface water; in fact, only about 250 square miles are above-ground water in the state. Surprisingly, despite this limited amount of H20, there is an abundant amount of wildlife in the region. This is mostly attributed to the wide variety in landscape. The state has a portion of the Great Plains, which is very similar to the grassy lands in part of Colorado. In addition to the plains, there are semi-arid regions with cacti and short brush, and areas with coniferous forests hidden in the mountains. What peaks aren't mesas and sandstone formations are often snow-capped and found in the portion of the Rocky Mountains that sneaks through New Mexico. Like most desert regions, the state's arid zones are extremely hot during the day and become extremely cold at night.
The two extremes in temperatures allows for the region to keep animals that would traditionally dislike the heat content. Larger animals, like the coyote, can sleep in shaded dens during the heat of the day, emerging at night to hunt. There are many animals, even the smaller rodents, which prefer this sort of schedule. Snakes and other reptiles are the most common animals seen out in the bright sunlight. These animals, including a common snake-the rattlesnake-are often seen basking on rocks.
Small animals aren't the only ones in the state, though there are a fair number of common pest creatures like raccoons, porcupines, skunks, rats, mice, rabbits, and foxes. Large animals, those that often like to live in the higher elevations, are creatures like elk, pronghorns, white-tailed deer, black bears, mountain lions, and Mexican grey wolves.
New Mexico is home to many endangered species as well. The state's species are relatively well protected because of how many live in unpopulated areas. Most are birds like the bald eagle and the whooping crane, though many are also fish. The loss of fish species is not surprising considering how scarce water is in the region. During drier seasons, fish are forced to live in closer proximity to one another. Some species prey on others, making the decline of fish dependent on the weather. The less water is available, the less prey is also available on land, and some terrestrial species have been known to turn to fishing when food is scarce.
