If you have a problem with wildlife in your Huntington 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 Huntington, and I recommend the following:

Platinum Wildlife Removal

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Indiana and Huntington 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



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

Huntington 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 Huntington raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Platinum 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 Huntington 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 Huntington 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 Huntington 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 Huntington pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Huntington 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 Huntington trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Huntington 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. Platinum Wildlife Removal does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Platinum 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. Platinum Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Huntington. 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 Huntington 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 Huntington. And remember, we are a private business, not Huntington County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (260) 356-0355. Huntington County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Huntington Wildlife Tip #1:
How To Get Raccoons Out Of A Wall

Most homeowners ask a common question; how they will come to know if raccoons are present in their walls. Well! The most common sign of their presence is the annoying noise that they make in night hours. You can easily observe this noise in the base of the wall where the wooden frames are connected to the floor area. When the animal tries to move up and down on the wall; it makes some clawing and scratching sound. Raccoons may use a wall or the pipes to climb up and come down.

Now, most of you might be curious to know that what is the difference between the noise made by raccoons and other animals such as rats, opossums, and squirrels in the wall. Well! It is all about the vocal sounds. Note that raccoons are larger animals as compared to the other rodents such as rats etc. Hence, the sound made by them is usually louder, heavier and slower with a much deeper pitch. Unlike opossums, squirrels, and rats, raccoons make a wide range of vocal noises, and these strange noises can be easily identified by humans living on the premises. When you have baby raccoons on your wall, they will often make the chattering cry like noise, and this voice can always be heard when they are hungry or feeling cold.

You might be aware of the fact that raccoons do not live in groups; they often prefer to stay alone. Only mother raccoons stay with their kits for few months to ensure safety and normal growth of little babies. So, if you hear voices from wall area, there are chances to have baby raccoons with the mother. The female raccoon will often climb the pipes to get out of the wall while searching for the food and soon it will return back via the same path to feed the babies. If you observe a female raccoon visiting your area frequently; it is important to search for her den, and if it is in the wall or attic area, it is important to make efforts to clear the space as soon as possible. However, it is not good to kill, trap or harm the babies; but if you use some careful procedures, it is possible to relocate them all safely to some other place.

There are so many possible options to get rid of raccoons in the walls. First of all, you can capture the mother raccoon by using a snare pole method, but it is not safe to execute it yourself. The mother raccoon becomes aggressive when it finds its babies in trouble, so it can scratch or bite you. In order to stay safe, it is good to call raccoon exterminators from your area and let them handle the removal process with right procedures. These professionals know right techniques to take raccoon babies out of the premises even without causing any harm to them. Once the animals are removed from the wall, it is important to repair the structure and seal all the entry holes properly.

Huntington Wildlife Tip #2:


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.
