If you have any questions about the wildlife of Eugene, you can contact the Oregon Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the Oregon Fish & Wildlife Agency. Oregon game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Eugene wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Eugene like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as Pacific Wildlife Control at 541-255-2308.

State mammal: American beaver
State fish: Chinook salmon
State insect: Oregon swallowtail butterfly

Oregon is a diverse state when it comes to landscapes. The state has a sprawling coastline with beaches and cliffs, yet it also has a large portion of desert area to the east. The Cascade Mountains are the highest points in the region, adding ancient volcanoes to the mixture of terrain. Oregon has thick forestation with both mixed forests and coniferous woodlands. In the valleys, the state has ample prairie land, shrublands, and steppes. As a state on the Pacific Ocean, Oregon experiences a mostly mild, wet climate, but sections of the region can experience severe hot or cold spells. The desert area is also significantly drier than other parts of the state.

There are over 136 documented species of mammals in Oregon, including dolphins and whales seen off the coast. The state has some fearsome predators occurring in small number including grizzly bears, gray wolves, wolverines, Canada lynx, and mountain lions. Despite the presence of a few large predators, the national registry states most of the mammals in Oregon are considered smaller species. The state does have a number of larger grazing animals such as moose, elk, bison, pronghorns, and deer.

In a state of small creatures, it's no doubt that Oregon has a number of nuisance species waiting to cause trouble for homeowners. The state has raccoons, weasels, skunks, bats, opossums, beavers, rats, squirrels, nutria, pocket gophers, and a variety of mouse species.

Turtles are surprisingly few as far as species diversity is concerned, and the two native turtles to Oregon are the painted turtle and the Pacific pond turtle. Other reptiles include alligator lizards, skinks, horned lizards, sagebrush lizards, and rattlesnakes.

Other animals living near the state in the coastal waters include seals, sea lions, and whales. Most marine animals are not problematic for homeowners. The critters can sometimes cause damage to areas of private and public beaches, but this is rarely an issue. Most marine wildlife is fearful of human interaction unless the animals have learned that people are equivalent to an easy meal.

Whale watching is a big industry along the coastal plane. The state has whale watching venues for grey whales, sei whales, fin whales, blue whales, humpback whales, and a list of others. Whales, of course, are not considered common nuisance animals unless you're a commercial fisherman.

Eugene Wildlife Tip
Should I hire a pro or remove mice myself?

If you want to get rid of your mouse problem on your own, you should start by learning how the mice are getting into the home in the first place. You should then seal each entry point and trap and remove these mice. You should thoroughly clean the areas infected by the mice and be sure that all feces are removed. The most common way that people get rid of mice is to use zapper traps. They can zap the mice once they capture them. People may also try different options when it comes to getting rid of the animals like the use of peppermint, mothballs and other repellents. However, these methods have varying degrees of effectiveness.

If your methods seem to be failing and the mice are winning the battle in your home or if you simply do not want to have any part of the trapping of the rodents, then you should call for a mouse exterminator professional. They have the knowledge and the expertise to thoroughly rid your home of mice and help you avoid an infestation in the future.

If you try to fix the issue yourself, you may end up trying several different methods before you find one that works. The bad part of this is that the mice will continue reproducing during this time and the problem can quickly get out of hand. When you call for the mouse control specialist, he understands the habits and social behaviors of the mice and will know very quickly how best to handle your specific infestation. They have been trained on the most effective management techniques and mouse proofing methods. Therefore, calling an expert will almost certainly speed up the process of ridding your home of mice and will leave you feeling much more confident that your home is safe from pests. The exterminator will do an inspection of your home and he will determine what the extent of the infestation is. The best exterminator will understand how to successfully fill any crevices, holes and cracks so that the mice will not come back in the home.

Eugene, OR Wildlife News Clip:
Wildlife - Squirrel, rat, and rodent trapping 101

Squirrel, rat, and rodent exterminators learn to read the weather more accurately than a meteorologist, most of whom don't spend much time exposed to the elements. Although several species of wildlife roam Lane County, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels and rats are considered pest wildlife.

They learn to read maps, both road maps and ranch maps. They learn to surf the Internet and view photos on the Oregon Big Game Awards or squirrel, rat, and rodent contest Web sites. Oregon has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify Eugene snake species and mammals.

Through increasingly expensive trapping leases, Oregon squirrel, rat, and rodent exterminators learn about supply-side economics. Ten dollars an acre is not an unusual price for a decent squirrel, rat, and rodent lease these days, $5,000 a common fee for a guided three-day trap and release on a good ranch. Remember to treat the wild animals of Lane County, Oregon, with respect and care.

Most of all, squirrel, rat, and rodent exterminators relearn the lessons of nature each fall. Sit quietly in the woods, and you will witness some kind of natural drama, even if you don't see a rat and mouse. Oregon has an abundance of wildlife, and Eugene is no exception.
