In recent years, many pest management professionals have considered expanding their services into wildlife control. At first glance, their reasoning seems flawless. First, they already resolve problems for clients, so why not add wildlife control to become “full-service” pest control companies? second, they consider wildlife control a young market with relatively light competition. And they might believe that adding wildlife control services is relatively easy and profitable. They think that pcos, with a little additional training, can resolve wildlife problems while also servicing traditional pest control problems.
The evaluation made by pcos, at least in regard to the first two arguments, is accurate.
Obtain a referral for the company from a local wildlife rehabilitator , humane society or animal control agency. Ask these references how they have determined that the company uses humane practices. You can also ask for references from previous customers.
Make sure the company is licensed and insured
Does the wco or company hold a valid and current wco certificate issued by wdfw? check the expiration date on their certificate to be sure. Does the representative appear to be professional and care about their work, the animals involved, and your concerns? does the person appear knowledgeable and take the time to explain not only what the source of the problem is, but also its causes and potential solutions? is the person licensed by the state and bonded or insured against any incidental damage that might occur? is the person willing to give you names and phone numbers of satisfied customers?
each species has its place in nature. But as human development grows, the area for wildlife shrinks. This leads to conflicts between ourselves and animals. These animals require food, water, and shelter just as we do. Your home , attic, shed, garage, deck, porch, and yard can provide one or all of these necessities. There are many solutions to wildlife conflicts, and each situation needs to be addressed using the best strategy for that case. Whether it be physical removal, entry point sealing, deterrents, or preventative maintenance, we have the solution. All of our exclusion work comes with warranties that the animals can not re-enter.
