Nuisance Wildlife Forecast

As spring nears its end, household wildlife activity begins to decline. This decline is attributed to rising temperatures, which in turn creates hotter attics. However, as prevalent cold fronts continue to sweep the area, combined with the remainder of the spring season, many people will continue to see activity. For the next few weeks, as result, animals such as raccoons, squirrels, and rats will remain active in attics across the greater Memphis area. Until the infamous Memphis climate begins to heat up,  wildlife such as these will still pose a threat to properties and households in the area. Apex Wildlife Control, in our continuous effort to educate and inform our clients, wishes to keep you updated on what you can do to limit activity during these remaining weeks of spring.

As always, Apex Wildlife Control must advise that all nuisance wildlife problems be handled with caution and respect towards the animal. It is always best to consult one of our trained technicians before ever attempting a DIY wildlife removal. There are a variety of different methods for removing wildlife, depending on the nuisance species, and there isn't one technique that works for all.

Exclusion is the only way to prevent problems

As such, the best method will always be proper exclusion, which will prevent problems from every occurring. When entry points, such as holes, are plugged, then wildlife won't find its way into your attic. If, however, you have holes in your roof or side panels, no technique will be worth your time without first closing the door. As Charles Harris, CEO of Apex Wildlife, says, "It's like having a fly problem, and keeping the door open. You can't get rid of the flies until you shut the door."
