Alachua Florida Wildlife Problems

With above-average rainfall all year, Alachua, FL, encounters harsh weather and hot, humid conditions that drive nuisance wildlife to look for shelter. Many pests, such as squirrels, bats, and raccoons, seek refuge inside homes and outbuildings.

Squirrels Inside Houses

Many Florida residents notice squirrels in their backyards. The rodents spend most of their time climbing trees and digging in lawns to bury food caches. However, a squirrel may use the roof to gain access to an attic, where the pests tear up insulation and chew on wiring.

Problems with Bat Droppings

With the advance of urban development, caves and other natural sites for bat colonies can be hard to find in areas like Alachua. As a result, these animals sometimes roost in wall voids and attics. In homes, their presence is more than a nuisance. Droppings that build up beneath bats can develop disease-causing mold.

Raccoon Diseases

Raccoons show up in Alachua neighborhoods as soon as they discover sources of meals or shelter. The pests typically raid garbage bins, bird feeders, and outdoor pet food bowls. Having these animals near a home increases the risk of dangerous parasites transmission or raccoon roundworm infection.

Florida Yard Disturbances

Homeowners in Alachua frequently spot wildlife on their lawns. A fox or coyote may enter yards to hunt for rodents and other small prey. Residents who give food handouts to foxes and coyotes often encourage them to linger in neighborhoods, which is dangerous for both people and pets.

Tom came out and removed a family of racoons from an attic in one of our rental properties. He was timely, communicated promptly and also had solutions to present. I'd recommend Critter Control.

Critter Control was very easy to work with. They came right out and identified the problem of a raccoon in my attic. They told me the plan to take care of the problem and explain everything to me. Very friendly and professional.

Birds had punched a hole through the facia in our home and were beginning to nest. We also had wasps beginning to nest under our siding. Tom investigated and fixed whatever we thought were a problems. Overall good job! Thanks

They did what they said they would do. Price was fair and their service was outstanding. I couldn’t have been happier with the technicians they sent out or the people I spoke to over the phone. Quality people all around and a company that stands behind their word.

They have saved me from both raccoons and squirrels. Very convenient and easy to work with. I hope I don't have to call them again (because I hope I never have another wild animal problem again). However, if I do, I can rest easy knowing where to find professionals who know their stuff.

Critter Control performed a very thorough examination of our house and identified animal entry points and the type of critters that frequent our home. They fully explained the remediation plan for our home including scheduled follow up visits. We feel comfortable that this company will eliminate our critter problem once and for all.

Very responsive and responsible. After my services were completed, I called and reported "Something is trying to get in". They put up "Grace Trapping" for another week. So happy they did because they trapped a possum, and I have not heard anything since. Very polite staff on the phone. No pressure. Understanding about the stress. I'd recommend them to anyone who has critters in their attic or home!
