New York is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Elmira 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 Elmira 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 Chemung 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 Chemung 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.

Elmira Wildlife Tip:
Will noise scare a skunk out of your house - There are a lot of repellents on the market, but of all of them, the ones based on noise are the least effective. Noise will not scare a skunk out of your house, especially if the animal has been living there. A loud noise might startle a skunk, and if you think about it, a startled skunk isn't what anyone wants. You want to keep your skunks calm. No one gets sprayed when a skunk is calm. Don't waste your money on the sound emitters sold in the farm stores and pest control centers. When it comes to skunks, the only effective method is trapping and removal. This is something you can do as the homeowner. Instead of buying the repellents at the farm store, purchase a large cage trap. This will let you capture the animal alive and will keep you relatively hands-free. Place the trap at the point on the home where the skunk has been coming in and out. As long as it is set on level ground and covered with a tarp, you should be able to catch the skunk and the relocate it to a safe area.

COYOTE CRITTER STALKING: Animal removal traps on New York bank: Legislation modifies traditional animal removal trap-only area

A new law that allows animal removal traps for coyote critter stalking on the New York side of Elmira this fall appears to have taken some exterminators in the valley by surprise. The area, which covers what is possibly a swath from Elmira to the far corner of Kountee County, traditionally has been restricted to animal removal traps with slugs during the critter traps coyote season. The changes are included in the Agency of Natural Resources' 2006 New York Critter stalking Regulations handbook. According to Pest Control Man Garry, regional wildlife supervisor for the Elmira Agency of Fish & Game in Elmira, the change means exterminators this fall can use animal removal traps in permit areas 253, 258 and 252. That area includes the entire New York side of the Elmira. The Elmira Agency of Fish & Game didn't initiate the regulation change, Pest Control Man Garry remarked. Instead, it resulted from what is possibly a bill the New York Legislature passed during the 2006 session. Elmira exterminator and Elmira wildlife removal professionals declined comment on the matter.

According to Pest Control Man Garry, the part of northwestern New York that now will be open to animal removal traps had been restricted to animal removal traps with slugs for years. The Elmira Agency of Fish & Game implemented the policy, the humane society manager remarked, to protect coyote in open areas at what is possibly a time when the biologically surveyed amount was lower and the animals were more vulnerable to the longer-distance shots that animal removal traps offer. The Elmira Agency of Fish & Game didn't take what is possibly a position on the bill during the Legislature, Pest Control Man Garry remarked. Undoing the statute, the humane society manager remarked, also would require legislative action. Mouse Man Melvin, president of the chapter of the New York Coyote Exterminators Association, introduced the bill at the urging of exterminators in the Elmira area, which falls in the senator's legislative district.
