Albany Wildlife Control Services
We Provide a Full Range of New York Wildlife Removal Services
What problems do wildlife cause?
Most of the calls we get are because homeowners hear animals scurrying around inside the attic or walls. Most of the damage inside a houes or attic is unseen. Rodents like squirrels, mice, and rats often chew on electrical wires.
Wildlife such as raccoons, bats, birds, opossums, and rats spread several diseases that humans can and do catch, such as Histoplasmosis, Salmonella, Leptospirosis and more. Many critters leave droppings and urine in an attic or cause mold or odor problems.
We also handle animals outside the house.

Pigeons And People – Feathery Friends Or Foes?
Pigeons are animals that have had a long association with people, and they have long been domestic because of the amazing
homing instinct that these birds will have. It is fair to say that there are many pigeons that will be able to return to
their nests over thousands of miles, and this made them excellent messengers for many centuries. However, over recent years
the numbers of feral pigeons to be found in our towns and cities have grown significantly, and these are the ancestors of birds
that were domesticated.
Are Pigeons Dangerous To Humans?
One of the main Albany bird control problems that pigeons can cause will come from their droppings, which is not only unpleasant but it can also carry
a number of different diseases. These droppings can be very apparent in the urban areas where flocks of pigeons can congregate,
especially if they are being fed by people or have plenty of food they can scavenge in the vicinity. The main disease that can be
contracted from pigeon droppings is histoplasmosis, which originates from a fungus and can cause fever and flu symptoms in many people.
They are also known to transmit cryptococcosis and psittacosis.
There are practical hazards that can be caused by pigeons too, and those that are urban feral pigeons can be particularly problematic
in some situations. Those that have regular contact with Albany rodent extermination humans can become aggressive with people if they have been fed regularly, and
can harass people who are eating food in the open. They will also make their nests in derelict or tall buildings that have rafters and
space to fly in them, and this can cause a health hazard if they nest in a hall or a church or any building that has regular human visitors.
The Pleasures And Problems Of Pet Pigeons
Pigeons have been domesticated for many centuries, although the majority of pigeon owners will still keep them in an outdoor cage and can
use them for pigeon racing. There are however plenty of options for those who simply want to have an intelligent pet that will prove to be
quite affectionate and entertaining pets. Because of the disease and Albany snake removal domestication issues, it is best to buy a pigeon that has been born in
captivity and will be used to human contact rather than trying to trap an animal in the wild and then bringing it into the situation of being
the pet.
Some people will keep their pigeon in a cage and release them to fly for a period of time every day, while others will provide a large enclosure
which the pigeons can use to fly at their leisure. It is important for pigeons to have Albany raccoon removal materials to make their nest, but this can be provided in
a way that is quite clean. The most difficult thing to deal with in the home is pigeon droppings, and this is the reason that most people will keep
their pigeons in a shed or outdoor enclosure.
In terms of their diet most pigeons will eat a grain mixture when they are being kept as pets, but they can eat almost anything that is presented to
them. Keeping to a regular diet will usually benefit the owners as much as the pigeon, as it will help to keep the droppings regular and reduce the
work of Albany rat control cleaning.
Other Aspects Of The Relationship Between Pigeons And Humans
The range of opinions that people will hold about pigeons can vary significantly, and the ‘flying rats’ tag is one that is often mentioned about
feral pigeons. Dealing with the problem of feral pigeons is one that will continue to cause problems for urban Albany bat removal wildlife management staff. However,
the reality is that pigeons are likely to grow in popularity as domestic pets, because of their natural affinity for human contact.

How to Keep Wild Animals Out of Your Garden
How to discourage Albany wildlife from your garden?
1. By making your premises uninteresting for those pesky little creatures:
• You need to conceal all the inviting plants, vegetables or fruits that may attract wildlife´s attention.
Covers that are used for spring frost protection may help you hide some of the plants from animals and their
nibbling. Vegetables stand a better chance if they aren´t seen. However, pest proof fences make a better
protection from a wild animal, if possible.
• The first advice would be you need to do everything that is in your power to keep them out. Some L-footer
style is an excellent solution, regarding the garden fencing.
• Make sure no branches are leaning over your garden as well, as some of the wild New York animals climb very well.
• Clean up all the mess around the house and in the garden to exclude all hiding places.
• And most of all disable all easy access to food. Feed your pets inside and keep the garbage bin firmly shut.
All vegetables and fruits need to be picked up on a daily basis.
