Winter Wildlife Control: Safe Removal in Grand Junction

As the temperature drops in Grand Junction, Colorado, and the pristine winter landscape emerges, so do the challenges of managing wildlife that seeks shelter in homes and businesses. This season often sees an upsurge of critters like raccoons, squirrels, and other wildlife attempting to find warmth indoors. Here’s how Maverick Pest Management can ensure the safe removal of these animals while protecting your property.

Understanding Winter Wildlife in Grand Junction

In Grand Junction, the cold winter months drive wildlife to seek refuge in warm places, which often include the cozy nooks of your home or business. Animals such as raccoons, squirrels, bats, and birds may take up residence in your attic, chimney, or basement, causing damage and posing potential health risks.

The Risks of Wildlife Intrusions

Wildlife intrusions can lead to significant issues. These animals can damage insulation, chew through wires (increasing fire risk), and introduce diseases like histoplasmosis, rabies, and hantavirus. Understanding these risks underscores the importance of addressing a wildlife intrusion promptly and professionally.

Signs of Wildlife Activity

Being able to identify the signs of wildlife activity can aid in early intervention. Look out for unusual noises like scratching or scurrying, droppings in and around your home, tracks or footprints, and visible signs of entry points such as torn screens or damaged roofing.
