Live Trapping: Managing Wildlife in Maine

Maine's natural beauty is matched only by its diverse wildlife. However, when raccoons, opossums, and other critters invade your property, that tranquil coexistence can turn problematic. At Fadden Custom Pest Services, we specialize in humane live trapping, helping you manage wildlife intrusion effectively. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of live trapping, why it’s the best choice for managing wildlife, and how we can assist you in maintaining a harmonious property.

Understanding Wildlife Intrusion in Maine

Maine’s lush landscapes provide an ideal habitat for a wide range of wildlife. While this biodiversity is beneficial, it often leads to wildlife seeking shelter in residential or commercial spaces. Raccoons, opossums, and even squirrels are known to infiltrate attics, basements, and other structures in search of food, warmth, and nesting sites. Beyond being a nuisance, these animals can cause considerable damage, spread diseases, and pose threats to pets and humans alike.

The Benefits of Live Trapping

Opting for live trapping provides several advantages over other pest control methods. Here’s why this approach is preferred by Fadden Custom Pest Services:

1. Humane Treatment: Live trapping is the most humane method of controlling wildlife. It involves capturing the animal without causing harm, allowing for their safe relocation away from populated areas.

2. Eco-friendly Solution: Live trapping ensures that the local ecosystem remains balanced by relocating pests rather than exterminating them, which can affect predator-prey dynamics.

3. Safe for Your Family and Pets: Live trapping avoids the use of harmful poisons and chemicals, ensuring a safer environment for your family, pets, and local wildlife.

4. Effective Long-term Solution: By addressing the root of the problem—such as entry points in your home or business—live trapping provides a long-term solution to wildlife issues.

The Process of Live Trapping

Our live trapping process is straightforward yet effective, guaranteeing minimal stress for both the animal and the client. Here’s how it works:

Inspection: We conduct a thorough inspection to identify the type of wildlife involved, their entry points, and any damage they may have caused.

Trap Setup: Based on our findings, we strategically place humane live traps in areas where wildlife traffic is highest. Our trapping techniques are designed for efficiency and safety.

Monitoring: Regular monitoring ensures animals are relocated promptly. We check traps frequently to minimize stress on captured wildlife.

Removal and Release: Once trapped, the animals are safely transported and released in a suitable location far from urban areas where they will not pose further issues.

Preventive Measures: After removal, we offer exclusion services to seal entry points and secure your property against future intrusions.

Common Wildlife We Manage

Understanding the animals that tend to encroach on Maine properties helps us tailor our approach. Here are some common culprits:

- Raccoons: Known for their dexterity and intelligence, raccoons often raid trash bins and seek shelter in attics.

- Opossums: These creatures can take up residence in basements or under porches, posing risks to pets.

- Squirrels: While cute, they can be highly destructive, especially when they gain access to attics or walls.

- Skunks: A potential threat due to their strong odor and possible rabies transmission, skunks often burrow under buildings.

Each species requires unique handling techniques, and our team is trained to address these differences effectively, ensuring humane relocation and prevention of further intrusions.
