Springfield Wildlife Removal

A single species of pest animals can potentially cause thousands of dollars worth of damages. Still, aside from that, the stress these nuisance critters inflict on the tenants can be overwhelming. With the busy schedules, most of our lives revolve around, pest animals in our homes are viewed as extra annoyances we shouldn’t even have to deal with. We understand this very well at Barnes Wildlife, and the thought actually does carry some good logic. However, we all have to accept that it’s the nature of being a landowner.

There will always be unexpected things that will happen to your home, and you’ll have to manage and remediate these things, or else the nice upkeep of your home is headed towards disaster. The refusal to accept to deal with unexpected problems such as infestation will often lead to people ignoring the problem altogether, like refusing to patch a leaking roof. Just as the roof will eventually succumb due to rot, unaddressed wildlife issues will pose an even worse and expensive nightmare – contamination.

With birds like starlings and sparrows, the damage can be amazing. Or maybe not the actual “damage,” but more so the material they can collect and build with. These species of birds build large nests inside the attics or wall voids, and they continue to build the nests until the birds run out of space to build, which isn’t too much of an issue inside of an attic! We’ve discovered nests up to 6 feet high and 10 feet around. Words can’t describe the sight of one of these nests sitting inside of an attic. The material buildup also applies with bats, except the type of material is a bit different from the bats…! We’ve discovered attics where it’s seemed as though the insulation has been replaced with bat guano. The same has been true with raccoons and pigeons.

Just imagine a dumpster full of feces and mixed with urine – that is what we’re pulling out of these attics. Even if you’re someone who’s left the problem go on forever, don’t worry, you can still call us. The ones we worry about are the ones we could never get to. Every year in the U.S., it’s estimated that 30-40% of attic fires are caused by rodents chewing on wires. That said, don’t ignore squirrels, either. But the diseases caused by these animals’ feces are no joke, but we’ll still make one: You have one life, so don’t let poop be the cause that takes it!
