Nevada is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Elko wildlife control services if you want to solve a critter problem legally and correctly. For example, we specialize in animals in the attic, which have broken into the house and almost always have a nest of baby animals. It is necessary to perform correct preventative repairs to keep pest animals a out of your house for good. We perform full building inspection, do the the repairs and we also offer attic decontamination if necessary. Rats and mice love to live in attics, and can chew wires or leave droppings. Some Elko animals frequently enter homes, and correct removal is not a simple task.

DOG or CAT: If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Elko County Animal Control for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, lost pets, and more. If you have a wildlife problem, you can try calling the Elko County animal control, and see what they have to say, but they will certainly not help you with a complex wildlife problem such as critters in your attic. They are a free government agency that helps with dog and cat issues only.

Elko Wildlife Tip:

Should I Handle the Squirrels with Bare Hand?

Squirrels look adorable, but they are far from being harmless. If you plan to handle the squirrels, we highly discourage you from holding them with your bare hand. Whether it is a baby or an adult squirrel, do not be fooled by their innocent look. They are armed with sharp teeth and claws that can injure your soft skin. There are too many hazards related to squirrels and you don't want to risk it.

Will the Squirrel Bite Me?

Squirrels are wild creatures, and they will react to your touch unpredictably. Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, but there are still instances when they will show their wild nature. If you cornered the squirrels, it would feel like it is threatened and will fight back. Once their teeth or claws injured you, a wound is the least of your worries. Their saliva may contain bacteria that can cause infection. They can also be infected with the rabies virus that can be lethal if you do not receive immediate medical attention. It is a deadly disease that can attack the victim's central nervous system.

Will the Squirrel Carry Diseases?

Apart from the rabies virus, the squirrel may also carry different zoonotic illnesses such as typhus, the plague, and tularemia. Tularemia can be acquired from handling a sick or dead squirrel. Some of the symptoms may mimic the flu virus, such as swollen lymph nodes, headaches, fever, and skin ulcers. Most patients will recover using antibiotics. Their urine and droppings can also transmit serious illnesses like Leptospirosis and Salmonellosis. If you have an open wound, avoid handling the animal using your bare hand.

Will the Squirrel Have Parasites?

Squirrels can have parasites such as ticks, fleas, and flies that can jump at you. If you handle the animals without any protection, you can end up with a serious problem. Aside from irritation and discomfort, these parasites may also encourage the transmission of diseases such as Lyme Disease. Common symptoms will include skin rashes, headache, and fever. If you left the condition untreated, it may cause heart palpitations, arthritis, bell's palsy, and other serious condition. To prevent severe symptoms, an antibacterial must be used during the early symptoms.

Should I Hold the Baby Squirrels with Bare Hand?

Some people think that holding the babies barehanded will be completely safe since they are not yet armed with sharp claws and teeth. However, that is not necessarily the case. Their nest can be riddled with various parasites that will endanger you. They can also end up with an injury. Some experts also believe that the mother squirrel will not return to the nest if it has been touched by a human. Abandoned baby squirrels will die without the care of the mother squirrels.

When handling wild creatures, it is best to wear thick gloves that will be durable enough to protect your skin from their possible attack. Wild animals are not used to being handled. By respecting this rule, you can guarantee that you will keep yourself and the squirrel safe.
