Owen Animal Control Integrated Wildlife Management allows humans and
wildlife to coexist while minimizing impact
for both humans and wild
animals. Wildlife damage problems are increasing throughout Michigan due to
population
growth, urbanization and increasing nuisance wildlife population
numbers. Because of the wildlife population explosion,
animals are finding
widely available safe nesting in homes and buildings. Wildlife then causes
damage to structures
by chewing on electrical wires and ruining insulation,
leaving behind their urine and fecal matter. Professional Animal
Removal
Services are needed in Michigan’s rural homes and urban areas to deal with
this unwanted wildlife.
Owen Animal Control understands the human / animal conflict and performs
humane animal removal and
wildlife exclusion techniques using
environmentally responsible and ecologically sound animal removal
techniques.
We are so confident in our ability and skills in animal
exclusion and the repair of animal damage preventing re-entry
into the
structure that we offer a 3 year guarantee of animal damage repairs and
wildlife exclusions. We use innovative,
cutting edge methods developed by
the nations leading experts, plus using our own animal prevention skills
from
many years of wildlife behavior experiences to permanently get rid of
nuisance animals.
Our integrated
approach is to first understand the conflict between our
customer and the wildlife, then provide a solution to prevent
future
problems from reoccurring without killing the animal. Sometimes the solution
to an animal-human conflict
requires the human to change his or her
behavior. Other times, the solution is to change the animal’s behavior.
Various tools and strategies are used to reduce human-animal conflict, such
as behavior modification, eco-friendly
animal repellents, professional grade
animal proofing to prevent the need for future animal removal services,
inspections
to identify animal entry and exit holes, identify areas animals
would use for harborage and nesting, wildlife exclusion,
habitat
modification, one-way doors and excluders, animal relocation, human
education of follow-up procedures to
prevent animal infestation. Lethal
methods are used as a last resort.
Methodology of our approach:
* Correctly identify the problem animal
* Be aware of legal status of the animal
* Understand
why the damage is occurring
* Can we modify the animals habits to make the area less attractive
(food or shelter)
* Can the animal be kept away from the site (mechanical exclusion)?
* Can repellents be used to keep the animal away?
* How can the animal be removed safely?
* Remove the attraction to stop further problems
* Stop re-entry by repairing
/ mechanical exclusion (3 yr guarantee)
* Educate the customer on follow-up procedures to prevent the need for
recurring
animal removal services
Habitat modification a home owner can perform;
* Trim
trees away from homes and buildings
