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

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

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

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Removal Northern Indiana. 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 Northern Indiana also provides dead animal removal in Valparaiso. 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 Valparaiso 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 Valparaiso. And remember, we are a private business, not Porter County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (219) 477-3110. Porter County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Valparaiso Wildlife Tip #1:
How Do You Know If You Have A Raccoon In Your Attic?

Raccoon mating season is about to arrive, and it clearly means that you may have raccoon infestation in your premises. Although these creatures often prefer to live outdoors in the forests and watery areas, for their mating season they look for some safe and warm premises. There is nothing as comfortable, cozy and quiet space except human habitat. Most homeowners in US report presence of raccoon babies in their attic and within a short time, they cause huge destruction in this area. So, it is important to be careful about raccoon infestation and take essential steps to prevent their attack.

Here are few factors that can help you determine if raccoons are present in your attic:

Loud Noises:

Raccoons are large, heavy animals so you can't expect silence from them. Even a single step of a raccoon in your attic can create loud noise below. During their mating season, they become louder. Level of noise can easily help you determine how many raccoons are living in your attic. Although there are many other tiny animals and rodents that can live in your attic, raccoons are little different. Rodents such as squirrels and rats can cause simple pitter-patter noise in the attic, but the big raccoons can be identified from their thrash and thump associated with larger size and weight.

Debris:

In case if they stay quiet during the night hours; you can identify their presence by the second factor. Presence of debris in the attic is a major sign of raccoon infestation. Note that raccoons try to live as clean as possible. So, in your attic as well, they will choose one corner as their latrine. Hence, you will find the bulk amount of feces at that corner. These messy eaters can also spread old food and bones etc. in your attic. Some nesting stuff such as leaves, twigs and destroyed insulation will also be present in the attic along with raccoons.

Roof Damage:

Rodents such as rat, mice, and squirrels can get inside through tiny openings, but raccoons need larger space to enter inside. In case if such opening is not available in your attic, but they are desperate to get inside, they will start damaging your property to make a hole so that they can easily crawl inside. If raccoons are present in your attic, you may find broken roofing tiles, vents, and intersections.

In case if you observe any of these signs in your attic and know that raccoons are present; it is good to use some humane raccoon removal steps. The DIY procedures and repellents are considered as effective techniques to deter raccoons. But in case if such techniques do not work, you can call professional wildlife removal experts. They know right tools and techniques to deal with raccoons and will take a few hours to make your house raccoon free. Make sure to install fences around your property and seal all the entry holes to prevent raccoon infestation in future.

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.
