Wildlife in California

Dealing with wildlife in California? Whether you're in the heart of Fresno or its surrounding agricultural areas, our state's diverse climate and landscapes mean various critters can become unwelcome guests. We understand the unique wildlife pressures that come with living in the Golden State.

Choose your city

California's varied climate, from hot inland valleys to coastal influences, creates distinct periods when wildlife becomes more active and seeks shelter or resources. Our housing stock, a mix of older homes with accessible attics and newer developments, often presents entry points for animals. The long dry spells can drive wildlife towards residential areas in search of water, while milder winters might extend their activity periods.

Common questions

What smells keep animals away?

While some strong odors are suggested for deterring wildlife, their long-term effectiveness in California can vary, especially with persistent animals driven by environmental factors like drought. Addressing entry points and habitat modification is often a more reliable strategy for your Fresno home. Professional exclusion is typically best.

Is there a fee for calling animal control?

We do not charge for initial phone consultations regarding your wildlife concerns in California. Our goal is to understand the situation and discuss how we can help. Any costs associated with our wildlife removal or exclusion services will be clearly explained after an assessment.

What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?

The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for the adjustment period of newly adopted domestic pets, not for wild animals. It's not applicable to the wildlife control services we offer in California. Our focus is on the safe and efficient removal of nuisance wildlife from your property.

Who to call to pick up stray cats?

For stray domestic cats in California, please contact your local animal shelter or humane society. They are the appropriate resources for handling lost or abandoned pets. If you are dealing with a wild animal issue, that is when you should reach out to us.

What animals does animal control deal with?

We handle a variety of nuisance wildlife common to California, including rodents, raccoons, squirrels, bats, opossums, and skunks. Our services focus on humane removal, exclusion, and prevention to resolve conflicts between wildlife and residents.

How can I assess a wildlife control provider in California?

Look for California services that are transparent about their methods, pricing, and offer guarantees on their work. A reputable provider will be knowledgeable about local wildlife and utilize humane exclusion techniques. Clear communication about the problem and solution is key.
