Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Montrose, PA

Montrose Wildlife Animal Control

If you are having a problem with wildlife in your Montrose home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Pennsylvania 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 Montrose, and I recommend the following:

Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control
Cell Phone: 570-240-4883

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Susquehanna County Animal Services: (570) 278-1228



Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Pennsylvania also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control 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 570-240-4883 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:
    - Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
    - Fully Pennsylvania and Susquehanna 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


Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control is a full-service Montrose wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Montrose pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control 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.

  Montrose wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania law. We offer Montrose raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.
  Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control. 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 Montrose 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 Montrose 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 Montrose rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.
  Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Pennsylvania 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 Montrose pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Montrose 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 Montrose trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Montrose 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. Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control does both.
The above are just some of the services offered by Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control. 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. Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control also provides dead animal removal in Montrose. 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 Montrose snake removal - most of the snakes in Pennsylvania are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Montrose. And remember, we are a private business, not Susquehanna County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (570) 278-1228. Susquehanna County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Montrose Wildlife Tip #1:
What To Do About A Cage Shy Squirrel?

Trapping of the squirrels is not recommended. It is illegal in some states. Also trapping squirrel is dangerous as squirrels have teeth and can cause diseases to human if bitten. But if a person wants to trap a squirrel to move it he/she can use a havahart trap. One should act diligently if he/she plans to catch a squirrel alive. The trap should be placed in such an area where it is away from the sun and can be checked regularly. If a squirrel is trapped in a sunny area it will die in a very short time. So to avoid this, the trap should be kept far away from the sunny areas. There are many variables which are involved in trapping the squirrels. But the perfect way to catch a squirrel is to use a one-way trap. Professionals spend many years sharpening their trapping talent. The type of trap used to catch a squirrel is determined by the location and positioning of the trap.

Ways to trap squirrel

The following ways can be useful in trapping a squirrel. One should buy a small sized cage trap instead of buying a large one. The trap should be kept at the right area i.e. where the squirrel often comes. The trap should be baited. The bait used should be such that it should attract only the target animal i.e. squirrel and not other animals. For example: peanut butter. The bottom part of the trap can be covered with leaves or soil to convince the animal to enter. One must also make sure that the trap door closes firmly and smoothly. The trap should be checked regularly. The squirrel should not be let suffering in the cage in the sun. If in case one screws up and the squirrel dies in the trap, the animal must be removed and the trap should be cleaned and washed with hot water without using soap as the traps which have dead beast in them do not attract fresh beasts.

But while trapping a squirrel one must be quite careful as squirrel bites can cause a number of diseases to human. The most common ones are leptospirosis, plague, and tularemia. So you must handle the cage shy animals with utmost care. Squirrels also create a lot of problems for human. The most common among them includes their will to live inside the buildings. They are splendid chewers and can chew their path to the home or buildings. They can even chew pipes and wires. Squirrels frequently bring in debris and can cause fire hazards due to chewing the electric wires. So trapping the squirrels is the most effective way to get rid of the problems caused by them.

Montrose Wildlife Tip #2:


Pennsylvania Wildlife Information:

Pennsylvania State bird: Ruffed grouse
State mammal: White-tailed deer
tate insect: 7-spotted ladybug, Pennsylvania firefly
State fish: Brook trout

You can find a variety of landscapes in Pennsylvania, though the majority of the state is covered in forest. Pennsylvania has a fair amount of flat land and a fair amount of mountainous land. No matter where you go, you are bound to run into wildlife. Warm-loving animals will not be so inclined to live in this state, though the southern region has more mild temperatures than the mountainous north. Because of the slight temperature difference, snakes and amphibians are more populous in the south. Rattlesnakes, one of the venomous snakes in the state, are only found in the lower aspect of Pennsylvania. Smaller snakes, like the garter snake, make their home just about anywhere they can find.

Reptiles aren't the only critters that like Pennsylvania. The state has hundreds of sheltered ponds and lakes, and this promotes a healthy population of beavers, otters, and muskrats. Other semi-aquatic animals include the snapping turtle and the common water snake.

Of predators, Pennsylvania has only two large mammalian carnivores. The black bear and coyote are at the top of the food chain in this state, though there have been numerous sightings of mountain lions over the last decade. The state's Department of Fish and Game adamantly dismisses the rumors, and has been able to disprove most of the sightings. Still, many residents feel there is a breeding population of the large cats somewhere in the state. Black bear, though destructive when they find a bird feeder or an open garbage can, are not seen as commonly as coyotes. There has been a large increase in the coyote population; likely due to almost no predation and ample supply of white-tailed deer and other small game. Because of the abundance of wildlife, coyotes are usually only problematic if they are in an urban area. In this setting, the canines can become bold and dangerous, threatening house pets and small children.

Still, the most popular home invaders in Pennsylvania are of a much smaller size. Raccoons and squirrels are always on the hunt for an empty attic, and rats and mice will take any opportunity to sneak into a home. Woodchucks are just as common and irritating; the stout creatures quickly moving in under unprotected decks and patios.

If homeowners are really unlucky, they will forget to secure their pet door at night and will wake up to find a porcupine has entered the house looking for cat food.

You can always call Fur and Feathers Wildlife Control, any time of day, at 570-240-4883, for a price quote for Montrose wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Montrose, PA.
