Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this can causes a serious fire hazard. Squirrels are also notorious for chewing holes in ceilings and damaging sheet rock.

Call us today at (804) 457-2883 to speak to one of our local possum removal experts.
Possum Facts:
1. Possums often destroy wild bird and game bird nests.
2. Possums are the major carrier of the EPM virus that is fatal to horses.
3. Possums cause havoc on domestic livestock.
4. The Virginia opossum has more teeth (50) than any other North American Mammal.
5. A study conducted by a University of Florida researcher traces the existence of opossums as far back as the extinction of dinosaurs.
How To Get Rid Of Opossums (Possums):
1. Remove all food sources. Do not intentionally provide food for the possums. You may think that you are doing a good deed, but possums fed by humans gradually lose their fear of humans and are more likely to become aggressive when food is not given to them.
-- Prevent possums from getting into your trash by keeping the lid of your garbage cans closed by securing it with bungee cords, chains, ropes, or weights. You could also by garbage cans with lids that have clamps to keep them on. Securing side handles to stakes driven into the ground will prevent the trash bins from tipping over.
-- Feed your pets indoors. If this is not possible, feed your pets outdoors in the late morning or middle of the afternoon. Remove all sources of food and water before dusk settles in, and keep pet food away from pet doors or other openings to the house.
-- Keep food in secure compost containers. Do not use open compost piles. Instead, keep the compost in covered compost structures or covered worm boxes.
-- Clean barbecue grills and grease traps after you use them.
-- Pick up fruit that drops from trees or bushes. Better yet, avoid having plants that produce appetizing fruit.
-- Avoid laying out bird seed. If you do provide bird seed, try to lay some out in the late morning or mid-afternoon and only spread enough to feed the birds for that single day. Alternatively, fill bird feeders with seed and transfer them inside each night at dusk.
2. Eliminate cover and shelter areas. Even though possums will not make dens in outdoor covering, they may find it an appealing place to hide.
-- Mow tall grass, especially around houses and other buildings.
-- Remove piles of wood, grass clippings, or other debris. This also includes items like overturned planters or barrels.
3. Deny access to your home will help keep opossums out.
-- Cover your foundation vents. One of the easiest ways for possums to sneak into your home is through the dryer vent or other vents along the foundation. Block possums from sneaking in through these openings by covering them with slotted metal vent covers. These covers are screwed onto the vent and have just enough room for steam and smoke to escape but not enough for possums to sneak through.
-- Crawlspace doors should be kept closed at all times. If the access door is damaged or does not fit properly, have it repaired or replaced.
-- Keep pet doors locked, particularly from dusk to dawn.
4. Trim tree branches. Possums can access the roof of your home if tree branches or other tall plants are positioned nearby.
-- Tree branches should be trimmed a minimum of 10 ft (3.05 m) away from the roof.
-- Do not place climbing plants near the house, especially not near the eaves areas.
5. Animal-proof your deck. Possums have been known to hide out under low decks, so these should also be protected with some form of metal barrier. We can providing animal proofing services to kept possums, skunks, groundhogs and other burrowing animals from digging under your deck, porch, shed or garage.
-- Use 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) grid screening or solid metal flashing.
-- Dig a trench around the perimeter of the deck. The hole should be at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) deep.
-- Place the screening or flashing in the trench. The barrier should extend from the bottom of the hole to the bottom or underside of the deck.
-- Fill the trench in with dirt, packing it down in place to prevent the screening from being jolted or wiggled around.
-- Attach the top of the screening to the deck. Nails or fence post staples usually work best.

Groundhog Removal Services - Call Us Today At (804) 457-2883.
The Groundhog, or Woodchuck, is very prevalent throughout Richmond, Henrico, Glen Allen, Midlothian and Charlottesville Virginia. It is considered a nuisance species by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. They are diurnal animals, which means that they are most active in the morning and evening hours. They are usually a grizzled, brownish-gray, and weigh between 5 and 10 pounds and when startled will often emit a shrill whistle – which earned them the nickname “Whistlepig”. Most people are not aware that groundhogs are good climbers, and it is not unusual for them to climb trees.
Damage by groundhogs can range from mild to severe. They are often guilty of damaging vegetable and ornamental plants as well as shrubs and trees. Their diggings can undermine foundations, decks, driveways, swimming pools, and pond dams and dikes. They often chew on buried cables and wires and also building supports. Virginia Professional Wildlife Removal Services has handled several calls where a groundhog had been trapped inside a structure and had caused significant damage.
In late August and September, groundhogs have voracious appetites as they prepare to hibernate. This deep sleep, when body temperatures drop and heart rate slows to four beats per minute, usually begins in October and continues through February. They mate during March, shortly after emergence. In April four to five young are born. The young woodchucks remain in the den for about two months, leaving the nest in July to establish their own burrows and territories.
Removing a nuisance groundhog from your property does not have to be a sequel to the movie “Caddyshack”, call Virginia Professional Wildlife Removal Services today at (804) 457-2883 and let our local woodchuck experts handle your critter problem.

Call us today at (804) 457-2883 for fast and effective humane skunk removal services in the Henrico, Glen Allen, Richmond, Midlothian and Charlottesville Virginia areas.
Did you know that skunks are one of the top rabies carriers in Virginia?
Skunks mate in February and the young are born in May and June. Usually five to nine young kits are born in a litter, but there can be as many as 18 or as few as two. Young skunks are weaned when they are about two months old. Families break up during August and September when the young leave to find their own homes.
Skunks become a problem when they dig under foundations; take up residence under a house, porch, or building; dig in lawns, golf courses, and gardens for insect larvae or roots; disturb refuse and garbage cans; or kill and eat poultry eggs or fowl. Skunk diggings normally appear as 3- to 4-inch cone-shaped holes or patches of upturned earth. Be cautious, as many other animals, including domestic dogs, also dig in lawns. Skunks can also damage beehives as they feed on adult and larval bees. Another problem that Virginia Professional Wildlife Removal Services sometimes encounters is when a skunk inadvertently falls into an open window well.
Skunks are prone to distemper and rabies and therefore can pose a health risk to the community. If you notice a skunk acting strangely (aggressive or nervous, wandering in the daytime, or tame and listless), do not approach it. Parents should warn children never to approach or pet a skunk or any other wild animal.

There is nothing like working really hard to create a beautiful garden, flower bed or lawn, only to have it destroyed by groundhogs.
Did you know that groundhogs are also called woodchucks or whistle pigs, and sometimes people mistakenly refer to they as gophers or hedgehogs - which we do not have any Virginia.
Groundhogs are herbivores and can consume a tremendous amount of vegetables, flowers and other vegetation.
They are digging machines and have been know to dig burrows under porches, decks, sheds, garages or right next to your home's foundation.
Our local groundhog experts can solve your groundhog problem quickly and humanely.
