Fort Lauderdale Animal Control - Wildlife Removal
I'm a renter and I have raccoons in my attic. I know for sure 2, but I believe there are more. My landlord just had a company put up 2 live traps today, as well as close the opening that they made. They are going crazy up there now, and I have 2 little children that I'm really worried about. My friend was scratched by a raccoon that entered her house through the ac vent, and I'm terrified these will come in somehow. I know raccoons can be smart and strong, and they are banging around. I'm also concerned about the diseases. We have urine dripping (yes, dripping) in between our 2 back doors. My husband cleaned with the solution the Human Society told us to use, and it was better. This morning the smell had returned (after only 2 or 3 days), and so had the gnat's. Disgusting! I saw your website online and read a few things that concerned me. What is your opinion about the diseases? Or any of it? Also, is it common for the Home owner's assoc. to pay for the clean up? My landlord doesn't want to clean it because the company she's going through said, "Most people just allow it to dry up and have no problems." Well great for them, I'm not most people. I'm a mother or a 3 and 4 year old. Please let me know what you think? I've asked the Human Society and (as far as the diseases) they said unless my kids eat the feces then I shouldn't be too concerned. What about the urine though? Human Society didn't believe that it was urine, but it defiantly is.
Hi Wildlife Pros Inc. and thank you for your web info. I live an hour north of Miami, FL. Weather is getting colder, leaves have fallen and you can now see the vacated,( I think) squirrel nests. My place is more like a cottage and I do back onto a river. My problem to date is the noises I am hearing in the attic over my bedroom. They have been going on for 2 to 3 months. My bedroom was originally a garage, no basement below it. The opening to the attic is in one of the other bedrooms and I have caught a few mice, but I think that it’s more than mice over my bedroom, unless they are wearing work boots, because it is quite noisy. The noise usually is later at night and early morning, sometimes 4 or 5 am. Scratching, movement and when I first started tapping the ceiling, IT would stop briefly, but now it doesn’t seem to bother It. IT just moves around and keeps doing what IT’S doing. I wish it was mice as I know eventually that the traps would eliminate them, yet it only sound like One animal. There was holes/entry points when I first moved in, but when I had the attic sprayed for a mold problem, the technicians filled in as many of the gaps with spray foam as they could. These noise/activities seem to be just above my bedroom attic, which does have a small opening access into it from the rest of the attic. I have looked around the house for visible entry ways, but have not noticed anything substancial.Could it be, chipmunks, mice or???? Make such a loud noise? Any of your thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you…. Ivars Sometimes mice sound loud. Aren't there any tracks for feces to give a clue? I hope that you are right, because I can live with mice as I try to trap them slowly as they go for the peanut butter. The attic area above my bedroom, for me is not too easy to get into, I am not quite comfortable up there. This mornings noise started at 4am, scratching noises, quite loud, but after I hit the ceiling and walls a few times, IT finally stopped and back to sleep I went.Although we had a light dusting of snow this morning, when I went outside the local squirrels were active in the trees and on the ground, so I am really hoping that it is mice. Thank you for your reply... Ivars |
