If you have a problem with wildlife in your Greenwood home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Indiana 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 Indiana and Greenwood, and I recommend the following:

Wildlife Removal Northern Indiana is a full-service Greenwood wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Greenwood pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Wildlife Removal Northern Indiana 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.

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Removal Northern Indiana. 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 Greenwood 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 Greenwood 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 Greenwood rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal Northern Indiana. 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. Wildlife Removal Northern Indiana also provides dead animal removal in Greenwood. 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 Greenwood snake removal - most of the snakes in Indiana are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Greenwood. And remember, we are a private business, not Johnson County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (864) 942-8558. Johnson County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Greenwood Wildlife Tip #1:
How To Get Squirrels Out Of The Chimney

Squirrels don't enter chimneys with their own wish; even these rodents don't even want to be there in any case. But while moving here and there on the roof; they fall into chimney through open holes. When you don't have a proper cap on the top of chimneys; there are chances that squirrels can get trapped inside. Although they are capable enough to climb back in most cases, especially if the chimney is made up of stone, mortar, and brick because here they find crannies and nooks to hold while climbing up. But in case you have installed metal tubes, squirrels may get stuck inside. If you have squirrels in your chimney area, it is important to take immediate steps to take them out.

Before we let you know what you should do to get squirrels out of the chimney; it is important to know what you should not. First of all, when it is confirmed that there is a squirrel in your chimney, never ever light a fire below because it can burn the tiny rodent alive. Never ever choose this method to get rid of squirrels; rather you should look for some humane techniques to deal with them. When you are not in a position to climb on the roof to take squirrels out of it, the best idea is to consult professionals to find the best way to take it out. The wildlife professionals know right techniques to deal with these rodents and can help you get rid of them safely.

Your chimney may appear like a big hollow tree to the squirrels where they find it easier to hide from predators. This area provides them perfect protection from variable environmental elements. When they find this area comfortable to live, they would even love to raise their babies in this area. With time, your chimney may appear like a dream home to these tiny rodents. Note that when squirrels have their babies in your chimneys, they find it little difficult to come out because babies are not able to climb so easily. So, if you force them to move out by using some harsh techniques, they may even die inside. One of the best ways is to help them with a rope. You can lower down a knotted rope through the mouth of the chimney and encourage squirrels to climb up through it.

Some professionals also advise using eviction fluid to take squirrels out of the chimney as it encourages them to move the nest to other safe location. Note that eviction fluid is made up of the male raccoon's body secretions. Squirrels are scared of it as male raccoons act like predators to them. In most cases, this repellent can provide you desired results. However, if it doesn't work, it is good to call professional squirrel exterminators from a licensed company. They know right techniques to handle these notorious rodents and will ensure complete prevention for future as well.

Indiana Wildlife Information:

Indiana State bird: Northern cardinal
State fish: Largemouth bass

Indiana is one of the larger states in the country, and it was sculpted millions of years ago by receding glaciers. The part of the state formed in this manner is full of rich soil, ideal for farming. Because the state is primarily rolling hills and flat plains, agriculture is the main focus of many people living in the region. Not surprisingly, farming brings with it a slew of animals that like to live off of crops. Probably the most detrimental of these species is the prairie dog. With an extensive network of tunnels, the smart mammal can inadvertently compromise structural integrity of buildings or cause machines to get stuck out in fields. If farmers are really unlucky, livestock, like cows, will get their legs stuck in the holes. A cow with a broken legs rarely recovers and lives another day.

But prairie dogs aren't the only creatures on the lookout for fields of crops. Wild hogs are problematic in Indiana. The large combative pigs only have a few natural predators: coyotes and cougars. The mountain lion won't eat a pig a day; if anything, it might eat a pig a week. Such a limited diet does nothing for population control. Coyotes are more apt to eat a number of pigs, but the hogs are so fierce, it would take a sizeable pack to run one down. Humans have been incorporated into the process of controlling these swine, and open seasons for hunting are common.

If the hogs and the prairie dogs don't get the farmers, the birds just might. Crop fields are favorite places for flocks of birds to congregate and eat seed. Most fields are so large and densely planted that a few crows or geese can't hurt them, but private farmers can lose an entire crop to over-zealous geese.

Even though there are no real mountains in this state, there are a number of deep stream ravines. These regions have allowed beavers to flourish, and the more pools the beavers create, the more animals like muskrats, blue herons, and frogs will be seen.

Indiana only has four venomous snakes, two of which are species of rattle snakes. The other two venomous snakes are copperheads and cottonmouths. There are 30 other non-venomous snake species in the state.

Raccoons, skunks, opossums, and squirrels are also abundant.
