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

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Michigan and Grand Traverse County licensed and insured
  • Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
  • Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
  • Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
  • Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste

  • Hogarth Wildlife Removal is a full-service Garfield Charter Township wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Garfield Charter Township pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Hogarth Wildlife 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.

    Garfield Charter Township wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Michigan 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 Michigan law. We offer Garfield Charter Township raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Hogarth Wildlife 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 Garfield Charter Township 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 Garfield Charter Township 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 Garfield Charter Township rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Michigan 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 Garfield Charter Township pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Garfield Charter Township 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 Garfield Charter Township trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Garfield Charter Township 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. Hogarth Wildlife Removal does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Hogarth Wildlife 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. Hogarth Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Garfield Charter Township. 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 Garfield Charter Township snake removal - most of the snakes in Michigan are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Garfield Charter Township. And remember, we are a private business, not Grand Traverse County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (231) 946-5116. Grand Traverse County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Garfield Charter Township Wildlife Tip #1:
    Do bats chew on wires?

    Bats do not actually chew wires or all other things. They are beneficial to people especially if they want to remove the night flying insects and mosquitoes. They could be of great help to people but they could also cause some issues or problems. The role that they play might seem not noticed. But, in all these, they have a role to play in preserving the nature balance of the neighborhood and the property. It will help if you will have them around.

    Bats Consume Insects

    Bats are known to consume a lot of insects during the night. They only feed during the night even those female bats. They feed on insects during the summer and during every night. One more thing that you will highly appreciate about them is that they never entangle in the hair of people. They are not considered as blind just as what people ever think of. If you will find a flying bat that gets closer to your head, it could have been possibly that it is just after hunting insects. And, it may have been just attracted to your body warmth. In all of the twenty-thousand bats, only less than one bat is believed to have rabies. And, not all of them really feed on the blood.

    Bats Help Maintain the Balance in the Fragile Eco-system

    Bats really help maintain the balance in the fragile eco-system. It is just that they could really be a problem or a nuisance to people and to business owners. They often intrude into homes or commercial buildings. The bat colony is what usually produces unlikeable and bad smell. In addition to that, they do not really chew wires, wood and all other structural damages.

    Use Chemical Toxicants

    It will be essential to make use of chemical toxicants that will help sort out the bat issue. But, they can still cause some serious troubles. The bats will only fall and die slowly. They will get into contact with other children or pets. Chemicals will never be safe to use by experts or professionals.

    Plug All Those Holes

    You will need to make it sure that you plug all those holes. This is especially if the bats already have gone out. You may make use of things like caulk, caulk backer rod, wood and cement. Now, you have learned if bats really chew on wire and all other things about these animals!

    Michigan Wildlife Information:

    Michigan State bird: American robin
    State mammal: White-tailed deer
    State reptile: Painted turtle
    State fish: Brook trout

    Michigan is a state that tends to get bombarded with snow and storms due to its location in the arms of the Great Lakes. The state is also relatively flat, though it has a nice mix of grassland and forest and some moderate hills. Pine trees are numerous in this part of the country, and they provide shelter for the plentiful animals that must survive a long, cold winter. Most of the state experiences a short, warm summer, but it is often filled with storms coming in off the bordering lakes. Due to the long winters and the cooler overall temperatures, most of the animals in this state are ones that are comfortable surviving in poor conditions when food is covered by feet of snow.

    Michigan is densely populated in the regions along the Great Lakes, but it offers a fair share of wilderness areas as well. In these sparsely populated zones you will find large grazing animals like elk, mule deer, and white-tailed deer. These herbivores ultimately draw in predators like cougars, wolves, coyotes, and bears. It's not common for bears to prey on the young of large grazers, but if food is scarce the bears can be agile, dangerous hunters. Such large creatures are not usually the concern of homeowners, even those in rural settings. Wolves and coyotes can be dangerous during seasons when food is limited. Some coyotes will adapt to urban settings. These canines are considered significantly more dangerous than coyotes in the wild. An urban coyote will not hesitate to scale a fence with the purpose of attacking a house pet.

    Large animals, though they can be pests, are not as troublesome as smaller creatures like raccoons and skunks. There are a number of animals that will invade a home. Raccoons, opossums, squirrels, rats, and mice are the most frequent offenders. In Michigan, there are also Indiana bats. These small bats are very rare and disturbing one of their roosts-even if it's in your own home-is illegal.

    Aquatic animals are also found in this state. River otters are very common, along with beavers and muskrats. Michigan has the water shrew, too, a large semi-aquatic rodent that is active at night near streams and lakes, and only has a lifespan of about 18 months.
