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

PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL
Cell Phone: 480-676-3285

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Maricopa County Animal Services: 602-506-7387

PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Arizona also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL 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.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Arizona and Maricopa 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



PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL is a full-service Paradise Valley wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Paradise Valley pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. PHOENIX 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.

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

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

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Arizona 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 Paradise Valley pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Paradise Valley 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 Paradise Valley trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Paradise Valley 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. PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by PHOENIX 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. PHOENIX WILDLIFE REMOVAL also provides dead animal removal in Paradise Valley. 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 Paradise Valley snake removal - most of the snakes in Arizona are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Paradise Valley. And remember, we are a private business, not Maricopa County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 602-506-7387. Maricopa County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Paradise Valley Wildlife Tip #1:


Chipmunk Repellents - Types, and do they work?


If you want to prevent chipmunk damage, which can be quite expensive to repair, then it will certainly make sense for you to use a good chipmunk repellent. The only trouble with using chipmunk repellents is they may not work always. Thus, it pays to research the different chipmunk types. Here is a brief look at which repellents are available on the market and how effective they are.

Use a solar owl

The first repellent that you can think about using is an owl. These owls are feared by chipmunks because owls like to feed on chipmunks. Buying a couple for your yard is a good way of scaring chipmunks away. There are different types of solar owls though most of them rotate and light up - making them appear like they are alive. Some are operated by electricity while others are battery powered. Some even work with wind that helps to move their wings.

Spray repellents

There are a number of spray repellents that you can think about using to keep chipmunks off your property. These spray repellents have a foul smell that helps to repel the chipmunk. However, if there are a large number of chipmunks on your property, then these repellents are not effective because they only work with a small infestation of chipmunks.

Another drawback to using spray repellents is in rainy weather the smell is washed away and hence this kind of repellent will not prove to be an effective way of getting rid of chipmunks. One way to get around this problem is by continuously spraying in places where chipmunks make their entry into your property.

Grainy repellents

This kind of chipmunk repellent is made with solid sand or with powder that helps you to create a barrier around your property. They are effective because they give of a smell that again deters chipmunks and forces them to go away. This kind of repellent works longer than the liquid variety and the nice thing is it is a safe way to get rid of chipmunks.

You can apply this repellent both in the indoors as well as in the outdoors. It all depends on where the infestation is. The nice thing about using granular repellents is they do not dissolve easily and hence will provide long lasting relief from chipmunks. In some cases, this repellent can even keep chipmunks at bay permanently. To get best results, you must constantly pour some of the repellent regularly.

Electronic variety

Electronic repellents are normally placed near a flower bed and garden. Their main use is to scare the chipmunks. This kind of repellent works by spraying water in bursts at the chipmunks who when scared by the water being sprayed on them, will be forced to go away. This is probably the best way of deterring chipmunks because it is a humane solution that works admirably well. The only drawback is the repellent only works if it is able to sense or see the chipmunks.

Arizona Wildlife Information:

Arizona State bird: Cactus wren
State mammal: Ringtail cat
State reptile: Arizona ridge-nosed rattlesnake
State amphibian: Arizona tree frog
State fish: Arizona trout
State insect: Two-tailed swallowtail

Arizona is most known for its beautiful desert regions filled with canyons and rock formations accented by cacti of varying height. What many people don't realize is that Arizona has its fair share of forests-over 20 percent of the state is woodland. These thick forests of pine and spruce trees are mostly in what is known as the Colorado Plateau. The drier regions are home to just as much wildlife, and there is no region in Arizona where animals are completely missing from the environment. For the most part, the summers in the state are hot and the winters are mild, but some of the regions with mountains and canyons can experience colder weather and even snow. There are ski resorts in northern Arizona.

State landmarks like the Grand Canyon make fantastic havens for wildlife. The water in the canyon gives life to all kinds of species including bald eagles, mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, rattlesnakes, and golden eagles. It also shelters a number of endangered species. The desert tortoise, big horned sheep, California brown pelican, spotted bat, and Southwest river otter are all on the protected list in this state.

Because of the diverse terrain, Arizona has all four of the major predators in the United States: black bears, coyotes, wolves, and mountain lions. Bobcats are also common, but they are known as "wildcats" by the residents of the state.

While Arizona still has raccoons, it also has a very raccoon-like creature called the ringtail cat. This animal is not part of the cat family, and it looks more like a cross between a raccoon and a fox. These solitary creatures live in cliff caves within the arid and semi-arid regions of the state. They have a diet of scorpions, insects, eggs, and small mammals.

Grazing creatures are also common, especially within the canyons where vegetation thrives. Arizona has mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, and big horn sheep.

Pest animals are numerous in this state, just as in any other. The forested regions provide a good home for squirrels, bats, porcupines, skunks, raccoons, and mice. Another potential pest animal in Arizona is the javelina, a small wild pig. As with any location, homeowners have to worry about rats, which can survive in most regions of the world.
