Wildlife Prevention Services

Wildlife X Team New Hampshire utilizes strategic methods of habitat modification and exclusion to prevent wildlife from entering your home or property. Habitat modification involves making notable changes that will limit access to food, water, and shelter to nuisance animals. Exclusion tactics are ways to prevent these animals. It may involve sealing up entry holes, installing chimney caps, or placing screens over vents.

When dealing with a wildlife infestation problem, an adequate understanding of animal behavior is necessary to be successful. Improper or poorly implemented control techniques can result in more problems, like causing animals to be trap-shy or bait-shy. Also, it may lead to the capture of unintended wildlife, which fails to address the root cause. But at Wildlife X Team New Hampshire, we understand the biology of these wildlife pests and are equipped with the tools required to create a viable prevention plan.

Trapping and removal may bring you temporary relief from your wildlife problems. But if you’re concerned about implementing a strategy that will prevent wildlife infestations in the long-term, then you need a professional wildlife control company to develop an effective strategy.

At Wildlife X Team New Hampshire, we start by finding the potential entry holes. Bats, raccoons, or squirrels in the attic, birds in the chimney, rats, and mice in the ceilings, and opossums and woodchuck removal in the crawlspaces are all there because they either found or created an entry hole. After dealing with the entry holes, we put measures in place to prevent future wildlife infestations.

Here are some of the examples of what we do:

• Install chimney caps.
• Add screening to vents to keep animals out.
• Seal gaps between the roof and soffits to deter animals.
• Seal gaps around pipes, conduit, or HVAC systems.
• Remove overhanging tree branches and encroaching vegetation.
• Repair poorly sealed points between roof fascia.

For homeowners in New Hampshire, here are some of the tips we recommend to help prevent wildlife infestation problems:

• Ensure you keep your pet food indoors.
• Store birdseed in a secure place and hang feeders in a place where only birds can reach, to prevent other wild animals like raccoons and possums from getting there.
• Pick up fallen fruits away from your garden.
• Properly secure your garbage can to prevent easy access.
• Keep food in airtight containers and dispose of garbage properly.
• Do not leave brush, leaf piles, and other debris to accumulate.
• Clear your yard of abandoned objects as it serves as a hiding spot for animals.
• If necessary, install a fence to prevent wildlife.

Preventing wildlife ultimately boils down to making your property unattractive to these critters. It is primarily accomplished by eliminating both food and shelter sources. Contact Wildlife X Team New Hampshire today to help you implement control strategies that will prevent wildlife problems.
