Our team at Green Services Termite and Pest Control has extensive experience in both the pest and animal control industries. While the two terms are similar, pest control and animal control are different services. The purpose of pest control is to eliminate harmful insects and small mammals such as rodents, while the purpose of animal control is to remove larger wild animals (such as raccoons) or stray domestic animals from your property. In this article, we will go over a few occasions when you should call our animal control team.
- Domestic Animals – One situation in which you will likely need to call animal control is when you see a stray dog, cat, or other domesticated animal wandering around your property. If the animal has a collar or looks like it is owned by someone, we encourage you to contact our team so we can remove the animal from the streets and attempt to track down its owner.
- Dangerous Animals – Another situation in which you should call animal control is when there is a wild animal around your property that poses a danger to humans or pets. For example, if a raccoon gets into your home, you should call our team rather than approaching it yourself, as these animals can carry serious diseases.
- Inconvenient Animals – A third scenario in which our animal control team can help involves animals that aren’t a threat to anyone, but which are still causing you some inconvenience. For example, if local birds have decided to build a nest above your front door, you can have our team safely relocate the birds to a more appropriate spot.
