Wildlife Pests in Surprise
Squirrels in the Desert
Many squirrel species in Surprise, AZ, endure the region’s hot climate by plundering the suburbs for resources. Ground squirrels burrow in yards and eat from gardens, while tree squirrels squeeze through gaps in roofs or dormers to nest indoors.
City Raccoons
As Surprise continues to grow and expand, wildlife sightings will remain common. For example, local raccoons often adjust to changes in their habitat rather than moving on. The pests den in homes and sheds, leaving feces behind. Raccoon poop can contain diseases, so be careful around these pests and their waste.
Bats and Pigeons in the Area
Surprise, AZ, is a popular place for bats and pigeons to gather. Bats can be found in attics, wall voids, sheds, and barns.
Infestations produce a lot of urine and feces, which creates unpleasant odors and can even stain walls and ceilings. Additionally, the flying pests are known carriers of rabies and contribute to the spread of histoplasmosis.
Pigeons gather on the roofs of homes. Since they construct their nests in gutters and chimneys, their presence is often considered a fire hazard. Furthermore, their droppings stain walls and sidewalks.
Dangerous Rattlesnakes
The city is also home to several species of rattlesnakes. Mohave and western diamond back species are among the most dangerous. These pests hide under brush, wood piles, and large rocks in Surprise backyards. Although not typically aggressive, rattlesnakes strike out if they’re feeling agitated or threatened. Their bites can be deadly if they go untreated.
