We are currently monitoring this maternal bat colony to determine when the juveniles are old enough to perform an exclusion. Sorry for the wiggly camera, it’s hard to film while holding onto a ladder.

Bats are a protected species and we have to be cautious about the dates that we perform this kind of work. In Georgia, we have a little bit of flexibility, and if we can verify that the juveniles are mobile and able to exit the roost, then we can exclude them. These juveniles are likely 3 to 5 weeks old, and we are checking on them weekly to observe their progress. They have about two more weeks until they can fly.

If we were across the state line in Florida for this job, we wouldn’t be able to touch these guys at all until August 16.

Some more bird in chimney rescue calls!

Bluebirds are a common bird to become trapped in chimneys because they are cavity nesters, and a chimney pipe looks awfully similar to an abandoned tree cavity.

This breeding pair must have been looking for a nest when they got in the chimney and realized they couldn’t climb back up the smooth walls. Luckily, the homeowner realized they were there and we were able to come out and rescue them. They flew off and we are going to be securing the metal mesh on the chimney cap so this can’t happen again.

This is a good reminder of why we wear respirators during attic inspections. During an inspection yesterday we came across some old vermiculite, or “zonolite” insulation. A lot of this old vermiculite insulation is heavily contaminated with asbestos. We let the home owner know what we found, and advised they have it tested for asbestos and to research the Zonolite Attic Insulation Trust program that helps homeowners with the cost of safely removing this environmental contaminant.

If you have this granular substance in your attic, and your home was built before 1990, wear PPE and have your insulation tested. I’m glad we knew what it was when we came across it and didn’t contaminate the customers home.

Well this has been an exciting morning! Great job Lauren on the owl rescue!

This Barred Owl was trapped in a chimney for almost a week! Now she’s rescued and off to St. Francis Wildlife Association for some hydration and nutrition before being released.

This has been an insane year for armadillos!

The dry weather has pushed armadillos into people’s yards where lawns and gardens are irrigated. The normal areas they would dig for grubs are too dry to support as much of their normal food source, so to the lawns they go! This is also their normal breeding season, so an increase in springtime sightings is nothing out of the ordinary.

Despite technically being an “invasive” species, they’re relatively harmless. Digging up lawns and occasionally under home foundations is the extent of their nuisance activity. At this point in the year If you can wait out the drought, the armadillo activity should start to subside.

It’s been a busy week for raccoons! Multiple sets of mothers with kits, luckily all successful evictions without trapping!

One of my favorite tools of the trade is raccoon eviction fluid. Eviction fluid is a concentrated male raccoon pheromone we apply to attics with females and kits. The pheromone encourages the mother to move out on her own. This is because male raccoons will kill kits if they find them so they can breed with the female. This unfortunate raccoon behavior provides us with an effective biological tool that allows us to be hands off with most raccoon calls.

This mother started relocating her kits out of the customer’s attic within an hour of returning to her den and smelling the pheromone. Our smart mama had them all out after a couple of hours. The next day we came back and sealed the hole so no new animals could move in. A win for everyone, and a happy day when animal families get to stay together!

What on earth are you doing in there Opossum!? We rescued this greasy girl from inside a gas grill where she somehow got herself trapped. Female opossums often try to find small spaces to hide and shelter in when caring for their young, but this one was definitely stuck and needed some help. After a drink of water she was sent on her way. Zoom in and you can see her little ones peaking out from her pouch!

For your nuisance wildlife related needs please reach out to us at (850)544-2883.

Our first call for juvenile raccoons of the season! We were able to remove them from the attic, seal the hole, and immediately re-unite them with mama. Raccoons usually have more than one nesting site and we watched her move them one by one into a hollow tree on the property. Success!!

Call us at (850)544-2883 if you need any wildlife removal assistance.

Super happy with this unique job! This customer has an industrial generator that rats were getting inside and damaging the components costing an arm and a leg in repairs every year. We took a crack at it and created this removable perforated steel cover for the top portion, as well as smaller removable covers for openings at the bottom. It can simply be lifted off and set aside when the generator is ready for use.
