Wildlife Control In Ventura, CA

Wildlife Concerns For Ventura County Residents

When people think about the natural beauty of Southern California, they rarely think about the negative aspects associated with our desirable climate. However, if you’ve been in the Ventura County area as long as we have, you realize the downside of being so close to nature.

In the midst of natural beauty, there are always dangers and nuisances surrounding your property line, waiting to invade as soon as they get the chance. The more you learn about the wildlife worries that plague many Ventura County residents, the more you’ll realize why wildlife prevention isn’t something you want to attempt on your own.

Health Dangers & Home Damage

While you may enjoy the Southern California scenery, failing to keep wildlife off of your property can quickly lead to expensive property damage and dangerous situations. Coyotes, for instance, are some of the most dangerous property invaders in the area, known to attack pets in yards and even threaten adults and children at times.

There are also skunks, that, along with an unbearable smelling-spray, can severely irritate your eyes and even cause long-term damage. Other invasive animals, like raccoons, foxes, and rodents, can introduce parasites onto your property like ticks and fleas, along with rooting through your trash and making a mess of the yard. Many rodents are also known to chew holes in the sides of houses and create nests in attics and basements, quickly putting occupants and items inside the home at risk.

Commonly Asked Questions

What types of wildlife are commonly found in Ventura?

Ventura is home to a variety of wildlife that can pose challenges for homeowners. Common species include coyotes, which can be aggressive towards pets and even humans, as well as skunks, known for their potent spray that can cause irritation. Raccoons and foxes are also prevalent, often rummaging through trash and creating messes. Additionally, rodents like rats and mice can invade homes, chewing through wires and insulation, leading to potential fire hazards and structural damage.

How can wildlife invasion affect my property?

Wildlife invasion can lead to significant property damage and health risks for residents in Ventura County. Animals like raccoons and rodents can create nests in attics, chew through electrical wiring, and damage insulation, which can result in costly repairs. Additionally, wildlife can introduce parasites such as ticks and fleas into your home, posing health risks to both humans and pets. The presence of aggressive animals like coyotes can also create a dangerous environment, especially for children and pets.

What are the signs of wildlife infestation in my home?

Common signs include unusual noises in the attic or walls, droppings around your property, and visible damage to trash cans or gardens. You may also notice tracks or trails leading to burrows or nests. If you see signs of gnawing on wood or wires, it could indicate rodent activity. Additionally, if you encounter aggressive wildlife near your home, it’s a clear sign that you may need professional assistance to address the issue effectively.

Why should I hire a professional for wildlife control in Ventura?

Attempting to handle wildlife issues on your own can lead to dangerous situations and may not resolve the problem effectively. Professionals have the training and tools necessary to identify the specific wildlife issues affecting your property and implement safe and effective removal strategies. They can also provide preventative measures to keep wildlife from returning, which is essential in an area like Ventura where wildlife is prevalent.

When you trust Ventura Pest Control, you can know the job will be done right the first time.

Proper Prevention Solutions

While keeping your yard clear of clutter and a tightly secured lid on your outdoor trash cans will help reduce your chances of an infestation, there is no replacement for professional assurances. In your struggle against the dangerous Ventura County wildlife, you shouldn’t trust your home and family to your own attempts at wildlife prevention, and you shouldn’t trust just any pest control company either.

At Ventura Pest Control, we have over 60 years of experience dealing with the local pests. Plus, we offer a wide variety of solutions that will cater to your specific needs. If you’re experiencing wildlife problems, our first step will be to place traps in the areas of highest probability. Our highly trained service technicians can find out which kind of pest is plaguing your property and figure out exactly where to place the traps.

We check these traps every weekday, and we’ll leave traps up for a week to ensure that we’ve caught all of the problem pests. Once we’ve captured them, we’ll take care of them in accordance with the state laws for that particular animal.

Once the problem is gone, you can shift your focus to exclusion. Our wildlife exclusion packages will vary based on your property, but we can provide guaranteed assurances against wildlife activity. These wildlife inclusion packages include the latest in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) preventative measures suggested by our knowledgeable service technicians. Depending on your property, our exclusion packages include our pest-free guarantee for six months to a year. Within the warranty time, we’ll repair small damages made by any wildlife that get past our industry-leading exclusion methods.
