What do birds eat? Bugs. Where do a wide variety of bugs live? Underground. If you get the right species of bird hungry for the right type of bug, they can leave a significant amount of damage in their wake. Below is a picture of a residence in West Hartford who saw some serious damage as a flock of crows hunted for underground grubs.
If you see an unusual amount of bird activity near your home or business, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Waiting til it’s too late can often result in damage to property. Call today!
Another one of the more common calls when the weather starts to get warmer is flying squirrels. Flying squirrels are a common trespasser in northern Connecticut.
Often times residents discover these little guys because of scratching, rustling, scampering noises coming above their heads. Flying squirrels love to take refuge in attics.
Here’s the problem - they don’t exactly come in through the front door. They will find cracks or soffits in your roof to squeeze through…. and those are high, very high.
So let the pros take care of it! We will find the splits and cracks these squirrels are fitting through and position the right tools. Wildlife Control Services has years of experiencing scaling the highest of roofs to ensure that your flying squirrels are trapped and removed.

Fisher Cats. These guys are not pleasant. Outside of their natural wild and aggressive nature, their screeches can be heard from anywhere. It is truly a terrible noise and near impossible to miss.
Fisher cats can cause harm to small dogs and cats that you let go in the yard. Fisher cats are pretty common in the Hartford and Tolland counties.

One of the more ‘famous’ of the wildlife animals we run into is the flying squirrels. Often times pictured in movies, shows, and books because of their miraculous leaping ability.
What is less miraculous is their ability to get into your home and create distruction. They will find ways into your walls, attics, and other barely-accessible areas.
