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

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

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Idaho 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 Middleton 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 Middleton 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 Middleton rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Idaho 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. Idaho Wildlife Removal also provides dead animal removal in Middleton. 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 Middleton snake removal - most of the snakes in Idaho are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Middleton. And remember, we are a private business, not Canyon County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 208-454-7531. Canyon County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Middleton Wildlife Tip #1:
Humane raccoon removal
There are many areas in the country were coming in contact with a raccoon seems like it is as common as coming in contact with birds. This is one of the most common species of mammals, and are found in virtually every area of the United States. This means you can find them even in densely populated urban areas, although their populations there may be much smaller.

These are intelligent animals that are quite persistent. They will dig and climb their way to get to whatever food or location they desire, which could mean that they will find a way into the walls or attic of your home. They will try to get into your garbage cans, eat food out of your pet's dish, or even try to figure out a way to get through your window and into your kitchen. To say that they could be a nuisance is the understatement of the year.

To resolve this problem, many turn to such options as raccoon extermination, but that seems a bit extreme. Many out there want to give this animal a fair shot, they just don't want them on their property. This is why looking for humane raccoon removal is really the way to go.

If you are honest about it, there are a lot of things that you can do to keep these animals off of your property. It starts with the idea that if you prevent them from having places to find food then they will not come around. This means ensuring that you bring in the dish of your pet each night, that you strap the lids of your garbage can on tight, that you block chimney access, and ensure that there is no loose board or gap in the siding of your home.

If you find that an animal like this has gotten into your house, then the best option is to use something like a one-way exclusion funnel. How this works is quite simple. You place the funnel over the entryway that the animal is using to get into your home. Then you let it do the rest of the work for you. At some point, the raccoon will go outside through the funnel and be unable to get back in. This resolves your problem.

If you find that you have an issue with a raccoon living in an area like your shed were under your porch, then the key is to take action while it is outside of these areas. Raccoons are nocturnal creatures, meaning that when most are sleeping they are awake. If you know that they are digging their way underneath your porch to get in, once they had out for the night is your time to secure this area. There are several different materials you can use, most of which will be highly successful.

You may also consider hiring someone to come and remove the animal for you. There are agencies in your area that will likely assist you, which can make sure that this animal is no longer a nuisance to you.

Middleton Wildlife Tip #2:


Idaho Wildlife Information:

Idaho State bird: Mountain bluebird
State mammal: Appaloosa horse
State insect: Monarch butterfly
State fish: Cutthroat trout

A state's agriculture is a big part of its identity in the country, but when it comes to Idaho, potatoes aren't the only thing that the state should be recognized for. Idaho is actually one of the Rocky Mountain states, meaning it has a vast stretch of the infamous range within its boundaries. As a mountainous state, it has an abundance of valleys and raging rivers. Much of the waterways are used for commercial rafting. Not only does Idaho have a claim to fame as far as beautiful mountain peaks go, it has the nation's largest expanse of unadulterated wilderness, the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area. If that wasn't enough, the region boasts the deepest gorge in the United States as well, Hells Canyon. The climate in the state is just as random as the landscape, and the western region experiences significant moisture from the Pacific Ocean. This makes for warm, humid summers and cool, wet winters. The same cannot be said for the rest of the region, which can see considerably drier weather due to elevation.

Animals in the state consist of those loving the valleys and those that love the mountains. Idaho is one of the only states not to have a significant population of black bears. Instead, the state is known for its grizzly bears and mountain lions. The mountain lions are far more reclusive than the bears, and it's been said that one lion has a territory range of 80 square miles. That doesn't mean territories don't overlap, but it does mean you're more likely to see a grizzly bear in the woods. Unlike the black bears in the rest of the nation, grizzlies tend to be more aggressive and more inclined to hunt their dinners. A hungry grizzly won't think twice about harassing a mother mountain lion for her young. If push comes to shove, the mountain lion can win against the bear, but both animals will come out of the deal badly shaken.

Nuisance animals in this state are abundant for the same reason other animals flourish. The region sees issues with small animals like rats, mice, raccoons, opossums, otters, beavers, squirrels, chipmunks, and coyotes. Due to the large expanse of national parks, much of the larger wildlife stays clear of humans.

You can always call Idaho Wildlife Removal, any time of day, at 208-595-3263, for a price quote for Middleton wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Middleton, ID.
