How to Get Rid of Rats
Rats on your property need to be dealt with as soon as possible as they can make you very sick. The bites, droppings, and urine of rats can spread infections such as Lassa fever, tularemia, leptospirosis, and hantavirus. They can also carry ticks which can transmit diseases too.
How to Remove Skunk Smell from Your Home
Skunks are famously stinky creatures – at least, they are when they feel threatened and decide to try and teach whoever or whatever is “threatening” them a lesson.

Get Ready to Reclaim Your Shed When Spring Arrives
Ask anyone who lives in an area where wildlife is abundant, or even only semi-abundant, and they will usually have a story or two about wildlife invasions. The red squirrels that destroyed the attic or the stinky skunk who took up residence beneath the old foundation, and so on. While these stories can bring a…
3 Common Winter Pests and How to Handle Them
Winter can arrive fast or show up a lot later than normal. It can be very harsh, cold and uncomfortable or it might be unseasonably warm without much accumulation or hazardous weather. In other words, winter can be unpredictable. On the other hand, wildlife can behave in fairly regular ways, and that is particularly true…
Tips for Homes with Unexpected Mice Issues
You might be shocked to discover that an area of your home has suddenly developed a mouse issue. Unfortunately, late autumn is the peak season for mice (and rats, and other critters) to start seeking warmer living conditions, and it is why many people suddenly develop a mouse issue. Though tiny and almost impossible to…
