Unwanted Furry Guests: Identifying Common Mammal Pests
In the vast animal kingdom, some creatures are less welcome than others in our homes and businesses. This category includes both mammal pests, from tiny mice to larger animals like raccoons or white-tailed deer, and marsupials, like the opossum. Rodents like House and Deer Mice, along with Norway and Roof Rats, are often found in human habitats, scavenging for food and shelter. They can contaminate food sources, damage property, and spread diseases. |

Raccoons, despite their cute appearance, can be aggressive and cause significant property damage. Bats pose a dual threat - not only can their guano cause structural damage, but they can also carry diseases, including rabies.
Moles and Voles can wreak havoc on landscapes, undermining plant health with their burrowing activities. White-Tailed Deer, while majestic, can cause extensive damage to gardens and landscaping. Similarly, Rabbits, Woodchucks, and Groundhogs are known for their landscaping and garden destruction.
Interestingly, not all our uninvited guests are mammals. Opossums, nature's pest control, belong to the marsupial family. They can become pests themselves when they invade human habitats. Skunks, known for their pungent defense mechanism, can create a smelly problem. Finally, Squirrels and Chipmunks, with their penchant for chewing, can cause structural damage, especially to attics and eaves.

DIY vs. Professional Pest Control: Choosing the Best Course of Action
While handling pest control yourself might seem appealing, it's often more complex than it appears. DIY methods can be less effective and may pose risks to the untrained individual. Professional pest control services bring the necessary expertise to accurately identify the pest, develop effective treatment strategies, and provide guidance on prevention, ensuring a comprehensive, long-lasting solution. |
