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

Wildlife Removal Monroe
Cell Phone: 318-300-4149

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Louisiana and Lincoln County licensed and insured

• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry

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

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

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

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal Monroe. 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 Monroe also provides dead animal removal in Ruston. 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 Ruston snake removal - most of the snakes in Louisiana are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Ruston. And remember, we are a private business, not Lincoln County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (318) 251-8685. Lincoln County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Ruston Wildlife Tip #1:
Rat Infestation in House

Rats are believed by many to be responsible in the transmission of a lot of diseases and illnesses. They also have a destructive habit of feeding themselves. Even their nesting behaviors are likely to compromise the edifices of all infested buildings. Nevertheless, rats are known for being secretive. They are not usually seen by humans at all times. That is why it could be quite difficult to prove that there is a rat infestation in house.

Obvious Sign of Rat Infestation

One of the obvious signs of rat infestation is the living or dead rats. Remember that they like it more hiding. With so much space, they it might somehow be quite difficult to know if there is a completely-blown infestation. If the space already becomes limited because of an increase in population, rats will be forced out right through the open. Now, rat droppings will usually be present which means to say a feeding and healthy rat population. In addition to that, rats like it leaving grease marks or dirt along the floorboards and walls.

Examine the Entire Area Where the Rat Runs

In the event that the previously-mentioned signs are not present, there is now a need to examine the entire area where the rat usually runs. These will often be left in the low vegetation and grass and will function as a foraging path for rats. Rats will also likely to follow similar paths after they have clearly been established. With regard to Norway rats, they dwell in most burrows that are found in the grassy embankments, under the roots of the trees including the edges of drain and paving covers. The roof nests will also usually be found inside the attics, lofts, dark and under the floorboards.

Rats Gnaw on Specific Materials

Rats gnaw on specific materials like wood and plastic. If there are large holes right through the floorboards and damaged materials, it may mean to say that there are signs of infestation. The marks of rat teeth are quite large. The marks are also rough in their appearance.

Call Pest Control Experts!

Prior to rat infestation in house, it will be a good idea to call pest control experts. Even if there are different traps that could be purchased around, they will still prove to be ineffective in the case of infestation. In addition to that, rats are more careful of any unknown objects in the foraging paths. That is why sometimes, traps will prove to be ineffective. Now, you have learned more about rat infestation in house and all possible signs of the population of rats!

Ruston Wildlife Tip #2:


Louisiana Wildlife Information:

Louisiana State bird: Brown pelican
State mammal: Black bear
State reptile: American alligator
State amphibian: American green tree frog
State fish: White crappie
State insect: European honey bee

Louisiana is famous for the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. The state sits against the Gulf of Mexico, and much of the southern region is below sea level. Because of this, when Louisiana gets hit by a tropical storm or a hurricane, it gets hit pretty hard. That same region which is prone to storms from the ocean is comprised mostly of watery marshes, swamps, and bayous. The northern part of the state is hilly but not mountainous. Overall, the climate is warm and humid. The summers are hot, and the winters are very mild. During the cooler months, the state is prone to substantial rainfall.

The areas in the mainland region of Louisiana are no longer dominated by the Florida panther, a large feline which used to roam many of the southern states. According to the local authorities, the big cat is considered extinct within the state. Now, aside from coyotes, the black bears tend to keep the public on their toes. Louisiana boasts two different types of black bear, the American black bear and the Louisiana black bear. The differences between the two are very subtle, and Louisiana black bears tend to be smaller and leaner than the standard American black bear. At first glance, however, it is very difficult to tell them apart. While bears are found in all regions of the state, they are not considered very dangerous. Instead, the bears are looked at as nuisance animals for their raiding of bird feeders and garbage cans.

The black bears join the ranks of other pest animals like raccoons, skunks, armadillos, opossums, beavers, otters, squirrels, rats, and mice. All of these critters can be found in every region of Louisiana.

With so many miles of swamp land, it isn't surprising that alligators are one of the most dangerous animals in the state. Alligators thrive in the marshes along the coast, using the watery vegetation to conceal them as they stalk prey. Many of the large birds in the area like cranes and pelicans can fall victim if they don't pay close enough attention to the water's edge.

Alligators aren't the only reptiles to love Louisiana. The region is home to many different species of snakes, and it was once a habitat for a number of subspecies of sea turtles.
