Common Wildlife Issues in Allentown, PA

As one of the more populous cities in Pennsylvania, Allentown is frequented by wildlife pests such as raccoons, squirrels, rodents, bats, and snakes.

Backyard Raccoons

Outdoor pet food and unsealed garbage cans present a meal too attractive for raccoons to pass up. If they find a yard that regularly offers food, the pests may decide to den nearby in a chimney, or attic. Since an Allentown raccoon can carry rabies or other diseases, contact with these animals is dangerous.

Damage Caused by Squirrels

Pennsylvania residents also have problems with squirrels in attics. Once the pests move inside through damaged roofing or vents, they often build messy nests to raise their young. In addition to creating sounds that annoy homeowners, the pests chew on belongings and rip up insulation.

Rat Problems

Rats and mice invade homes most often during cold weather. These pests reproduce quickly and contaminate kitchens as they search for food such as grains, fruits, cereals, and fatty foods.

Issues with Bats

Bats also take advantage of the heat homes provide during cold Pennsylvania winters. They are most commonly found in the attics of homes, and their droppings facilitate the growth of a fungus that causes respiratory problems for residents.

Sneaky Snakes

Finally, snakes are often found in Allentown basements because they follow rodents, their main food source, indoors. People are frightened by their presence, and the pests bite when startled.

This company has been great. The technician Kensi was very through and checked everywhere to make sure all access points were found. After a skunk was found in the trap on a Saturday morning they came to pick it up very quickly.

So when I went to have my insulation replaced I figured out that I had a critter problem that was beyond anything I was aware of. Not wanting to waste time I decided to call a professional and these guys were really good from day one. From the gentleman who gave the estimate to both of the guys that came out and did the work there was great communication and they were very effective at what they did. One little thing got missed and all it took was one text message and somebody was out the next day to take care of it. They always text me when they're on their way or going to be at the house and they let me know what they found along with photographs. My first thought when they gave me the quote was wow that was a lot of money and I didn't want to spend that much and now that I've had them do the service I feel like it's worth every penny and it's actually pretty damn reasonable considering the number of times that they come out and all the things that they do take care of.

I had an issue with squirrels getting into a small section of roofing without access from the attic or inside of the home. Critter control was a huge help in solving the issue, especially thanks to Brandon and Nate. Ended up catching 3 squirrels living in the roof plus they seal the entrance point after all is said and done. I would absolutely recommend critter control, Brandon and Nate did a stellar job.

Dominick was very friendly and he consistently put on his shoe covers each time he entered the house. He looked over every inch of the storage room where we thought the animal was and did a walk around the yard to see if there was evidence of entry. He was very thorough. He did not find any animal at that time. He said he would leave a trap and review the outside area of the house over the next week. It was the next day that the smell in our storage room indicated that the animal had died. We followed the small and discovered a dead bird in an open storage bin. I would highly recommend Dominick for 'Critter Control'. Thank you, Valerie

your representative (Dominic) was very friendly and quickly removed the dying raccoon from our outdoor window-well. He also shared information with us regarding raccoons on their behavior, what they liked/disliked, and provided information on how to disinfect the area the raccoon had been trapped in for a couple of days. I'd rate him 9 stars if I could. -pja
