Wildlife Problems in Farmington Hills, MI

Extensive development and a growing population make Farmington Hills, MI, a prime target for nuisance wildlife. Habitat loss often drives animals like squirrels, bats, raccoons, and coyotes to shelter in or around homes and search yards for easy meals.

Squirrel Removal in Farmington Hills

A regular sight in Farmington Hills, squirrels raid gardens to find fruit, nuts, and seeds. They strip bark from trees and dig numerous holes in lawns to bury caches of food as well. High populations of these rodents can also entice predators like foxes and coyotes to hunt near houses.

Bat Removal

The little brown bat is the most common species in Michigan. They tend to roost near homes, and colonies will often move indoors. The guano that builds up beneath bat roosts results in foul odors, and it can also develop fungal spores that, if inhaled, can cause histoplasmosis, a serious respiratory illness.

Raccoon Removal in Farmington Hills

Raccoons forage in trashcans and dumpsters for meals, leaving a mess for Michigan residents in their wake. Once they discover a reliable food source, the pests may den under decks, porches, and sheds to stay close.

The animals' feces also contain raccoon roundworm eggs, which infiltrate the soil in yards, gardens, and play areas. These parasites spread to humans through ingestion, and children are particularly vulnerable.

Additional Nuisance Wildlife in Michigan

In addition to squirrels, a coyote will also hunt for mice, rats, and rabbits around sunrise and sunset. While generally timid around people, coyotes can adapt to the presence of humans and may prey on cats and small dogs in Michigan neighborhoods.

While they prefer to avoid conflict, if threatened, a skunk will spray a foul-smelling liquid from its hindquarters. Curious dogs are often unfortunate targets of these attacks. Skunks are nocturnal, so when they tear up turf to look for grubs and insects to eat, Farmington Hills homeowners usually don't see the damage until morning.

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
