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

Wildlife Trapper Pro
Cell Phone: 860-498-4085

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Hartford County Animal Services: 860-721-2937

Wildlife Trapper Pro specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Connecticut also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Wildlife Trapper Pro 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 860-498-4085 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2025.

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

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Connecticut and Hartford 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



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

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

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Wildlife Trapper Pro. 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 Wethersfield 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 Wethersfield 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 Wethersfield rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Wildlife Trapper Pro. 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 Trapper Pro also provides dead animal removal in Wethersfield. 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 Wethersfield snake removal - most of the snakes in Connecticut are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Wethersfield. And remember, we are a private business, not Hartford County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 860-721-2937. Hartford County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Wethersfield Wildlife Tip #1:


About Fox


The fox is a small animal that also happens to be an omnivore. It can at best be medium sized and is part of the Canid family. In appearance, the fox looks like a dog but it is really very different to a dog. Thus, one should learn to differentiate between a fox and a dog as well as a fox and a coyote. Here is brief look at the appearance, biology, life cycle, habitat and diet as well as behavior of a typical fox.

Appearance

A fox is smaller in size than a typical dog. Its ears are triangular in shape and its snout is pointed and pointing upward. The tail is long as well as bushy. A typical fox weights up to twenty-four pounds though the smallest variety, the fennec fox weighs just 1.5 kilograms. Some species are larger and can grow to a length of 34 inches. They also have long tails measuring 12 inches.

Biology

The fox is a part of the Canid family and is one of the smallest animals in this group. Others that belong to the same family and which are bigger than a fox include animals like the wolf, jackal and a domestic dog. There are different types of foxes and the largest of these is the red fox.

The smallest on the other hand is a fennec fox. It is not uncommon for male foxes to have more than one mate. Female foxes normally live in the same den as the male fox with which it is mating. Foxes are able to identify the sound of another fox and they have different forms of vocalization including growling and howling as well as letting out yips.

Life Cycle

Female foxes give birth to approximately five to six cubs. When cubs are born, the male fox has to bring food and feed the female. When cubs are born, they are not able to hear, see and their bodies have scanty amount of fur. This fur is short and also dark. The mother fox normally won't leave the den until her babies are at least two weeks old.

Once the cubs are four months old, they will venture out of their den to explore the world. At the age of between six and twelve months, the baby fox will leave its mother and will mature at the age of ten months.

Habitat

Foxes normally live in the wild though some species of foxes are considered endangered and hence have to be kept in protected areas. Typically, a fox lives in wooded areas though they are also known to live in the desert and grasslands as well as mountains. They make their den by digging in the same manner as a rodent.

They store their food in their den and if the temperature within the den is ideal, it is the right time for the fox to mate. Each den will have more than one exit to allow the fox to leave when confronted by a predator.

Diet

The fox is an omnivore which means it is ready to eat anything and everything. The environment in which foxes live does not affect their choice of food. Thus, it is not uncommon for foxes to scavenge for food. They will even eat junk food consisting of meat and bones as well as bread. Foxes will also feed on bird food.

Behavior

Foxes are social by nature and like to live with other foxes including the mother and mate as well as siblings. They are nocturnal and hence will hunt in the dark. Their excellent eyesight allows them to find food in the dark. They can travel at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour.

Connecticut Wildlife Information:

Connecticut State bird: American robin
State mammal: Sperm whale
State fish: American shad
State insect: European mantis

Connecticut is a small state in the nation, and despite being technically on the coast of the country, it does not have an ocean border. The state is connected to the Atlantic Ocean through Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound, but has no actual sea coast of its own. The majority of the state was originally wooded, though areas of farmland have since been cleared. The forests are full of broad-leaved trees with a mixture of coniferous woodland, and there is a steady rise of terrain to the mountains in the northwest. Summers in the state are warm to hot, and winters are cold; the ocean mediates temperatures and moisture content in the atmosphere.

The state does not have a huge variety of large animals. The moose is the dominate creature on land in size, and it is the only large grazer aside from white-tailed deer. A subspecies of the white-tailed deer, called the key deer, grow to be only 3 feet tall and weigh up to 80 pounds. This subspecies is protected due to dwindling numbers. The key deer are easy targets for coyotes who roam the forested regions of the state. Black bears are also present, but the bears rarely take to hunting down large prey. Black bears spend much of their time foraging for fruits and insects, or raiding easy meal locations like birds' nests. The state has a healthy population of bobcats that keep the numbers of smaller animals manageable.

As in most states of the Northeast, Connecticut has a variety of forest-dwelling critters that hold the potential to become pest animals. Raccoons, skunks, opossums, rats, mice, bats, gophers, woodchucks, weasels, minks, and beavers are all occupants of the state. Connecticut has lemmings, small, elusive rodents that have gotten a reputation for mass suicides. These communal death marches are a misnomer; the lemming will sometimes migrate in numbers during the breeding season. Because the animals are good swimmers, they will often attempt to cross waters where a significant number of them drown. They are not throwing themselves off cliffs for no apparent reason.

Though access to the ocean is had by way of a protected region of water, Connecticut has a number of marine animals including manatees and harbor seals.
