Animals and insects can do an incredible amount of damage to your home and lawn, even if they’re very small in size. Moles can damage your lawn by leaving little upturned piles of dirt all over the yard. Squirrels can gnaw away at wooden shingles and wooden siding, perhaps to hide acorns under roof shingles or to find a way to get inside. Of course, after the current pest infestation has been taken care of, an important part of pest control Edmond OK is fixing the problem so it doesn’t happen again in the future.
A professional pest control Edmond OK company will not only take care of your current pest problem, but they will also repair any damage left behind by the animals. They’ll educate you, the homeowner, so you know what signs to look for in the future, what the animals are motivated by, and how to prevent them from coming back. They’ll fix the damage that the animals created by fixing your siding, replacing wall insulation. They will also install solutions for keeping the animals out, like putting a chimney cap on top of your chimney, which keeps birds and squirrels from getting into the chimney.

Look for a pest control service that deals with wildlife in a humane and respectful manner. Critter Control of Oklahoma City works with wildlife biologists, animal control, and zoology experts to educate themselves about these animals’ diets, behaviors, and habitats. They want to remove and re-home animals in a humane manner rather than simply destroy them. It’s part of animal cruelty prevention and about supporting the ecosystem. Bats may be a nuisance inside your house, but outside, they serve a purpose by eating mosquitoes. Bees may be a nuisance if they build a nest right next to your door, but they are necessary in the ecosystem for pollination. Whether it’s one raccoon or a flock of geese, whenever possible, they use humane traps to catch various pests and then relocate them to a better area, where they are set free.
