Frequently Asked Questions About Wildlife Removal
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE ANIMALS YOU TRAP?
According to Florida Law, the Fish and Wildlife Commission states: live-captured nuisance wildlife must be released legally or euthanized humanely within 24 hours of capture or trap inspection. Native nuisance wildlife may be released off the capture site. If the release site is a minimum of 40 contiguous acres, and the person releasing the nuisance wildlife has in their possession written permission from the landowner. The landowner of the release site allowing will agree to the release on their property. Nuisance wildlife may not be released on federal, state, county, local or private lands without written permission of the landowner. The animals we trap are released on over 40 acres of privately owned uninhabited land. If you have 40 acres or more and would like to be one of our drop sites please email us at info@awremoval.com

I HEAR SCRATCHING NOISES. WHAT COULD IT BE?
It is almost impossible to identify what type of animal intrusion you have over the telephone. Affordable Wildlife Removal Experts agree that it is paramount to complete a full inspection of the property to identify the issue and how they entered the residence. Here are some signs that may indicate you have the following animals:
- Scratching or scampering noises in the attic during morning or early evening hours, with no night activity, is typically squirrel activity.
- Light scratching or chewing, (sounds similar to scratching on the wall with a fingernail), on a wall or ceiling during any time of day or night is usually rat activity.
- If you are hearing rolling or the sounds of footsteps in the attic, You may think this is a person but it is typically raccoons.
- If you are hearing loud growling noises or extremely heavy footsteps it could be an alligator.
HOW DID AN ANIMAL GET INSIDE?
Most buildings have a number of potential openings that are not easily seen. Animals could have entered through small crevices. In addition, Affordable Wildlife Removal experts have a short list of places they enter at:
- Air conditioning lines
- Soffit junctions or roof returns
- Crawl space vents or spaces in block.
- Smaller rodents (such as rats or mice) can use openings as small as the size of a quarter
- Raccoons need about the size of a softball.
IS DUCK REMOVAL NECESSARY?
Did you know, trapping ducks is one of the most effective ways to remove them? Affordable Wildlife Removal experts know that ducks can do extensive damage. Duck can do damage to areas such as porches, pool decks, sidewalk, drive-ways, and sometimes attics. They will nest in residential areas and they will become very territorial.
If certain types of ducks invade your attic, there is a possibility the insulation and drywall will be ruined. Please be aware that we want you to know that using poison to rid your establishment of ducks is illegal. In conclusion, being animal lovers, we really don’t want to see the duck to die.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE A DEAD ANIMAL FROM A WALL?
When an animal dies not only does it create a foul smell, it can cause a home or business unusable for a period of time. The dead animal will breed mold and bacteria harmful for humans and pets. Affordable Wildlife Removal can locate and remove any dead animal allowable under FWC law, disinfect, and deodorize to rid the property of the smell, bacteria, and/or mold.
ARE RACCOONS DANGEROUS?
They may look cute to some, but they are dangerous if they have contracted rabies, distemper or have babies near. It is best to keep your distance from not only raccoons but any wild animal.
A SQUIRREL HAD BABIES IN MY ATTIC. WHEN OR WILL THE BABIES LEAVE?
The squirrels might eventually leave but not for months after they are born. Waiting for these critters to leave is subjecting the property to significant and expensive damage. Squirrels can rip apart duct work, chew electrical wiring and ruin drywall.
Did you know, squirrels have been known to cause home fires and water damage? Not only are they destructive but also, squirrels leave feces and urine everywhere. Affordable Wildlife Removal does not believe that allowing them to leave on their own is a good idea, instead give us a call and we can identify the problem areas to seal the entry point and humanely remove the squirrels.
