Beaver Removal in Amherst NH
You can see beavers not only on the ground, but also in water. They have physical characteristics which fit their semi-aquatic nature, like their big hind webbed feet and huge paddle shaped flat tail. The front paws are much smaller, unwebbed and has claws. The beaver’s eyes have nictitating membrane which gives them the ability to see underwater. They usually seal their ears and nostrils when they swim. Beavers have thick fat layer on their skin for insulation in cold waters. These creatures can sometimes find themselves in private properties, and can be drawn in resorts, swimming pools and water fountains.
Flying Squirrel Removal in Amherst NH
Flying squirrels don’t have wings when they take their flight in the air and usually use ‘patagium’, a stretchable furry membrane attached from their ankle up to the wrists. These squirrels can’t power their flight and generally jump and glide using this parachute membrane when they move from one tree into the next. To stabilize their flight, they use their fluffy tail as some sort of an airfoil. They also use the tail as an air brake when they land on branches.
Raccoon Removal in Amherst NH
Raccoons like to freely roam near bodies of water like lakes, ponds and river. They can also swim with speed of around 3-5 mph, with an ability to stay for couple of hours in the water. In Amherst, there were reports of raccoons leaving wastes and droppings in fountains and pools. The main reason raccoon control is needed for households and commercial places is when raccoon break into people’s homes, usually the attic.

Squirrel Removal
Squirrels have unusually big eyes, which give them good vision in finding food items on the ground and sensing the threat of bigger predators. This trait can be seen in both ground squirrels and tree squirrels in Amherst New Hampshire. Aside from the vision, squirrels also have good sense of touch and in most cases good grip. You will probably notice how they hold acorns firmly while running, without losing grip of their food .
Skunk Removal
Skunks can eat both plant and meat, often adjusting and adapting their diet on the environment and the season. A skunk can eat invertebrates and small mammals. Their usual meat diet can typically include larvae, fungi, grubs, earthworms, salamanders, lizards, mice, small rodents, frogs, birds, eggs, moles and even snakes. Their plant diet can include fruits and vegetables like berries, grass, nuts, leaves and roots. If you see a skunk in your property, chances are they were led there by their food hunting.

Most of the bats seen in Amherst are microbats, which often retreat in rock conclaves, dormant volcanoes and mountain caves to hibernate in winter. Bats usually go into deep stupor, basically dropping their body temperature into the same temperature of their immediate environment. This hibernation can last from 3 to 6 months, or until spring season goes into full bloom. If you found a bat hibernating inside your home, don’t touch it, call a bat removal professional instead.

Remember that these creatures are untamed, they can be uncontrollable and violent if you have no experience in handling groundhogs.
Rat Removal
In our rat removal services in Amherst, some people often interchanged rats with mice. Even if the two share similar physical traits with one another, they do vary quote notable with their size. Rats are generally larger, while mice are basically smaller. However, rats seem to be more despised by most people we’ve met perhaps because of their bigger size. Still both are disease vectors and we advice precaution and prevention.
Bird Removal
If you notice birds, they like to move and fly in groups and with their same species. They usually migrate in long distances in flocks, often communicating with another through calls, sounds and visual signals. This social behavior can be seen when they breed and search for food. In most instances, flock of birds can also cause a big mess leaving their droppings, wastes and feathers in households and facilities. There are various methods to remove birds and prevent them from coming back. Call our hotline for details and inquiries.
Keep wildlife animals away from your property at all times. The main reason we always say this is because of the high risk of disease transmission by the creatures. Since this species come from the wild, you just don’t know the type of viruses and pathogens they carry. It’s much better to stay safe by having wildlife control and management in your place.
