Maine is full of wildlife, including snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and more. Wildlife removal is a complex field. I recommend professional Portland 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 Portland animals frequently enter homes, and correct removal is not a simple task.

County Animal ServicesDOG or CAT: If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Cumberland 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 Cumberland 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.

Portland Wildlife Tip:
Male skunk scent - All skunks have an odor, and male skunk scent is often indistinguishable from female scent. It may be slightly more potent, but as far as a human is concerned, both animals just smell like skunk. A male skunk will be more inclined to mark around a home, so you may notice his presence quicker than you would a female. As you might have guessed, the smell associated with these animals is the primary reason why people don't tolerate them living around the home. If you've noticed a strong odor in your lawn, don't panic until you have noticed it consistently for a few days. Skunks will just pass through the yard if you live in a rural area. Once three days have passed without any abatement of odor, you should consider trapping and removing the animal. The key is to take care of the issue before the creature decides to live under your shed or under the patio. Some people want to use repellents to keep the skunks away, but these are largely ineffective and just a waste of money. Save yourself some time and money and purchase a cage trap.


Portland, ME Animal Control News Clip:
Wildlife - Giving shelter to Portland Animals

An enthusiastic young girl in Portland takes animals to a local wildlife facility and raises money for it by helping with fundraisers at Portland Wild Lodge. "She always seems to be scratched or bandaged, so I'm sure much of her money goes either back to the facility or to her own medical expenses." Maine has an abundance of wildlife, and Portland is no exception.

This year, Raccoon Zoo became a Designated Eagle Facility. It houses two bald eagles, rabbits, squirrels, Raccoon, Opossum & Squirrel, birds of prey (owls, hawks and eagles), foxes and coyotes. Steve will go out to get eagles or animals that are caught, but generally, animals are brought to them. Although several species of wildlife roam Portland, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels and rats are considered pest wildlife.

Since gaining a Raccoon, Opossum & Squirrel permit and eagle designation, Raccoon Zoo no longer takes raccoons. They prefer to focus on larger animals or birds of prey. As the years add up, so do the stories. Maine has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify Portland snake species and mammals.

One of the facility's more unusual visitors was a beaver that was brought in. It had a massive abscess, was getting old and didn't make it, but Snake Woman says it didn't deserve the bad rap beavers get. "She was so sweet." In 20 years, they have only had the one beaver there. Remember to treat the wild animals of Portland, Maine, with respect and care.
