Tennessee is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Collierville 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 Collierville 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
Shelby 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 Shelby 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.

Collierville Wildlife Tip:
What Kind Of Damage Do Bats Cause In An Attic?
Usually when bats find a place to stay, they do not leave it easily. If you have seen a small colony of bats in the attic the best thing to do is to deal with it as soon as possible. The reason is that the bats live a thousand years and that's where the whole problem starts. The damages done by the bats in the attic range from minor to life threatening. If bats are present in your attic, you can hear the occasional squeaking or the sound of bat wings in chimney, attic and behind the walls, etc.
You may also see a case of mother bat along with her little babies. In that case you may see even more damage. Also if the bats die then you will smell an unpleasant odour in your house. The difficult part is to track that smell and find the exact location of the dead bat. Although the problems mentioned are minor but they can become bigger with time.
Odour and Damage
This is a major problem with the case of bats. You will smell an unpleasant odour that is the result of the bat droppings called guano. If you have a colony of bats living in your home, then at least 30 to 40 bats will leave the dropping on a daily basis. And as the piles of guano accumulate, the strength of the odour will grow. Apart from this bats also damage your home. They chew into walls, damage wirings and the insulation of the house.
Disease
This is a by result of the bat guano which is a carrier of fungus named histoplasma capsulatam. The spores present in the fungus are airborne and microscopic and will easily spread in the attic of your house. If you inhale the virus, you may be prone to the disease called histoplasmosis. This causes infection in the lungs. Now usually the infection clears itself from the body on its own but on worst cases it can develop into chronic lung infection. Then you will require treatment. This should not be left untreated as it can become severe.
Rabies
Another case is the possibility of transmitting rabies to humans because of a bite. This is a pretty major disease which can cause inflammation in the brain. It can become fatal if it is not treated soon.
So you need to be aware of the bats in your home and after removing them the first thing that you should do is to prevent their re-entry into the home. You may remove them yourself or can seek professional help. Also due precaution should be taken while doing any of the above mentioned tasks.
