Snake removal in Akron Ohio


We found this Snake on the road in Akron Ohio. It was a Rat snake trying to sun itself.  You will notice the patterns on this snake, they appear to resemble a rattle snake or even a copperhead snake, but this snake is not poisonous.

Most snakes in Ohio and across the Untied States are killed just because of ignorance, If they only knew that they were so beneficial to our environment I believe that would be different.

Most Snakes that make their way into your home are usually accidents. In fact if you have a snake in your home, well the snake is probably not the issue. You most likely have a larger problem, such as rodents.

Snakes are predators period.

So if they are in your house they are after food. rodents are the number one reason snakes show up in homes, though they do sometimes probe or just are curious of a place(these are the accidents).

If you have mice in your home, and you don't do anything to prevent this, it is inevitable that you will have a predator in your house. this is how it works.

Insects bring Mice

Mice bring Rats

 Rats well.. Snakes..

Which brings us to the rat snake. It doesn't need the sun to metabolize its digestion. so its the perfect weapon and its the snake I find in 99% of all homes I investigate. They can live in crawl spaces and even attics for 6 months at a time.

The Wildlife Professionals of Ohio can help you. We will  investigate the issue and give you viable solutions to your wildlife conflicts.

How to get rid of a Bat in the house in Akron- Canton Ohio? 234-788-0375


That is a fantastic question.There are many ways to do just that and save a bit of money. Please understand that fooling around with any wild animal is dangerous. bats can have rabies and other diseases and must be respected.
But what do you do if its the middle of the night and a bat is in your room?
(If there is an child in that room and you were alerted by them. go straight to the hospital..better safe than sorry. some bites are not understood by youth. It would be good for you to keep the specimen for inspection by medical advisers )
First of all get who ever is in that room out. Second try to see where the bat lands. Simple it sounds, but not always so. once you have the location on where the bat has landed, if at possible have someone keep watch. if not then simply close the door and place a towel at the bottom.
 Find a spatula(you know like to cook with)brooms work too and wrap duct tape or any tape around it and flip it so that the sticky part is on the outside like a giant fly trap. Bats are actually very fragile and not very strong. Again I don't advocate this practice, but when in a place where it is necessity it is ok.
Carefully stick the spatula to the bat. the tape should adhere to the bat and you can remove it from the house. Once outside you can spay Pam or any other cooking spray on the tape part around the bat and it will be able to get free in a bit.
This is effective in a pinch. Though The Wildlife Professionals are the better choice in all this. Trained and practiced in the art of bat removal and exclusion. It really is the only safe bet.

Akron-Canton Bats in the atttic ! 234-788-0375

"I have a bat in my living room" A frantic woman shouted as I listened to her on the phone. and as I tried to calm her down it ac-cured to me just how frightening it can be for persons that are unfamiliar with these wonderful but fear causing little guys. I was able to calm the lady and we did make it there and removed the bat, but upon inspection we realized she actually had a serious problem. Mrs. Smith had bats living in the attic of her home.

It is very important for homeowners and property owners to have inspections at least every few years. The damage caused by wildlife and other invading creatures can add up over time. Squirrels like to chew electrical lines in attic and in walls, Raccoon can tear fascia and sofit completely off the house and make a terrible mess in the attic.

So if you are hearing noises or smelling odors coming from your attic, walls, or even your basement it is time to get an inspection. An early inspection can save money.
