Q&A with Local Franchisee Brandon Lynch
What are some of the most common wildlife issues that homeowners face in your area?
Raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, bats, groundhogs, birds, and mice, Norway rats and moles.
How do the seasons affect wildlife activity in your area?
Squirrels, opossums, and raccoons are always active. Moles occasionaly cause issues on warm winter days. Most everything else around here hibernates in the winter. Raccoons, squirrels, opossums and other rodents keep us busy in the fall, as they're looking for a winter home. Spring is busy, because opossums, raccoons, squirrels, and other rodents like to use attics, chimneys and crawl spaces to raise their young.
What are some common signs of nuisance wildlife activity?
Damaged attic and roof vents, as well as holes in soffits. Burrows outside, along foundation walls. Finding matted insulation and animal droppings in attics, or insulation pulled down and damaged in your crawl space. Seeing bird droppings on exterior walls, on or below dryer and appliance vent covers.
Any prevention tips for residents in your area?
Take a look around your home to see if you notice any areas that may have been damaged by nuisance wildlife. Contact Critter Control to perform a thorough inspection of the home so we can identify common primary and secondary points of entry or potential entry into the home.
When should homeowners call Critter Control?
As soon as they notice damage or hear noises; if they see animals on their house or inside their home, notice burrows outside along the foundation wall or in the yard. We have trained technicians on call overnight and on weekends, and we are available 24/7.
Problems with Wildlife in Lexington, KY
The temperate climate combined with the rolling hills and farmland of Lexington, KY, creates a perfect environment for nuisance wildlife. Homeowners may see bats and other animals looking for food or shelter around their neighborhoods.
Bats and Humans
Bats may roost in Lexington homes or outbuildings when shelter is scarce. They look for sites that provide warmth and protection, often settling for man-made structures. Sometimes, a stray bat flies from its nest into a home, attic, or garage, frightening residents.
Once inside buildings, bat colonies can create health issues for Kentucky residents. Accumulation of the pest's feces brings odor as well as the potential for fungal diseases. Furthermore, bats are capable of transmitting rabies through bites and scratches.
