Wildlife Problems in Lake City​

With plentiful lakes, ponds, and wetlands, Lake City, FL, sustains a large wildlife population. In addition to natural wonders, the area provides food and shelter for animals in neighborhoods. Some pests have learned to seek out these resources, coming into conflict with people.

Reoccurring Bat Issues

Bats are creatures of habit. These animals often return to the same roosts in yards and homes unless property owners take steps to deter them. Since most Florida bat species can live between 10 and 12 years, an infestation is unlikely to go away on its own. State laws protect bats from undue harassment, so consult pest professionals for humane exclusion.

Squirrels Outdoors and Inside

Squirrels in Florida strip the bark from tree branches, which can leave lasting damage. The pests also climb along power lines to drop onto the roofs of Lake City homes. A squirrel will do whatever it takes to get into an attic, whether that means crawling through broken vent or enlarging holes in soffits and roofing.

Messy Raccoons

Raccoons benefit from urban development in Lake City because it gives them easy access to food. The pests' scavenging habits often put them at odds with residents, as a raccoon will tip over garbage cans, scatter trash across the yard, or damage gardens to reach a meal.

Other Pests in Lake City

Nimble climbers, roof rats prefer living high off the ground in areas like ceiling voids. When they come down to search for a meal, the animals contaminate surfaces and spread diseases through their waste. In Florida yards, armadillos create their own problems. The pests leave behind unsightly holes when they dig for insects.

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.
