If you live in suburban New Jersey, you have no doubt seen the numerous small creatures that inhabit the wooded areas. Animals like raccoons, squirrels, rats, mice and bats often wander into residential areas usually in search of food or shelter. If you get one of them trapped in your attic or chimney, you have a problem on your hands.
Prevention
The first line of defense is preventing the problem by removing the things that attract these animals. Garbage is a favorite target. Some people like to leave garbage in plastic bags before transferring it to cans. This can be a mistake. Animals tear open bags and strew garbage which in turn attracts other animals. Tip: Keep garbage in covered metal or sturdy plastic containers.
Dangers to Humans
These animals have claws and sharp teeth and some carry diseases like rabies. Although they are generally not aggressive, they can attack when trapped or startled. They can bite or scratch and pass along diseases. Tip: Keep a safe distance from wild animals, even small ones.
Solutions
The first impulse of many homeowners is to attempt to tackle the problem themselves. Some animals work their way into the house in search of shelter. Once these animals are inside the home, the problem is two fold – getting rids of the ones inside and keeping others out.
Rodents, including rats, mice, and squirrels, can gnaw through many types of siding materials to gain entry. Others may enter through open doors, pet doors or chimneys. Nevertheless, once they are in it is a challenge to get them out. The first impulse of many homeowners is to seal up entry points. But some animals may be still inside. With lack of food, they can die inside attics, chimneys or walls.
In New Jersey there are laws against killing or trapping certain animals, and you may run afoul of the law in your do-it-yourself efforts. Tip: Don’t try to handle serious pest control problems on your own, seek professional help.
