Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Squirrels tend to forage, traveling along roof and fence lines. To trap a squirrel, placing a baited trap on the roof near the point of entry is the best option. If you can see them going in and out or recognize the damage they might be causing to the exterior of your home, you can also try placing traps near those locations.

When it comes to where raccoons nest, they can establish a home pretty anywhere. They may make their homes in crawl spaces, attics, and chimneys. Barn lofts, haystacks, and even storm sewers can double as raccoon dens. Also, they are known for setting up multiple dwellings for their use.

Hazing is an effective strategy for keeping foxes away from your yard because these wild animals are usually scared of people, loud noises, and sudden movements. If you have a large dog patrolling the yard, that’s also usually a powerful deterrent for foxes. You can also use hazing to keep badgers away from your yard, along with pests like raccoons and coyotes.

Badgers are nocturnal, which means they’re most active at night. This is when they leave their homes and go out in search of food. They’re also creatures of habit, so they will continue going back to the same places when they are active, as long as there doesn’t appear to be any danger.

To keep animals away from your trash, you can spray store-bought ammonia-based cleaners on the bag or make your own spray. All you need is a spray bottle with one part ammonia and one part water. Once you’ve sprayed the bags, keep your kids and pets away.
