As the boundaries of urban development expand, humans encroach on the natural habitats of wild animals. Consequently, wildlife may migrate into towns and cities in search of food and shelter. As a result, interactions between humans and wildlife can occur. These interactions can be dangerous for several reasons.

Firstly, wildlife such as raccoons, bats, squirrels and skunks will often destroy property while building a home for themselves.

Secondly, wildlife have the potential to bite and cause injury to humans, pets and livestock.

Lastly, small mammals can contract diseases, viruses and parasites. Furthermore, these pests may transmit the parasites, diseases and viruses to people and pets.

Why It’s Important to Consider Professional Wildlife Control Services

Firstly, transmission of pathogens and parasites from wildlife can occur both directly and indirectly. For example, being bitten or scratched by an animal can result in contracting bacteria and viruses such as rabies.

Furthermore, animal urine and feces in dens, nests and surrounding areas can transmit life-threatening pathogens and parasites. This can happen as a result of direct contact, or via airborne particles (inhalation).

Additionally, wildlife can carry fleas, ticks, mites, lice and mange. Therefore, humans, pets and livestock are certainly at risk.

Bats

When bat feces (“guano”) is dry, inhaled particles can result in a potentially fatal lung infection (histoplasmosis). Moreover, rabies transmission from bats to humans, livestock and pets is a also a considerable threat.

Another reason to consider professional wildlife removal services for a bat problem is that bats are a protected species in Canada. Therefore, it is illegal to kill a bat.

More information about bats can be found in this U.S. Geological Survey article.

Raccoons

Raccoons can transmit pathogens and parasites by way of bites, scratches, feces and urine, their saliva or by water contamination.

Contracting the rabies virus is a well-known risk when a raccoon moves into the neighbourhood. However, fewer people realize that raccoons can also transmit other dangerous diseases. For example, leptospirosis, salmonella. canine distemper and roundworm can be contracted.

Learn more about raccoons and the dangers they pose from this article from Perdue University.

Skunks

Having skunks in the neighbourhood certainly stinks. Everyone knows that a skunk that feels threatened is not to be messed with, because their defense is to discharge a horribly-smelling spray from glands underneath their tail.

Most importantly, like bats and raccoons, skunks have the potential to transmit dangerous pathogens and parasites to humans and pets. Examples are rabies, canine distemper and tularemia.

The Government of Maine website has published this excellent article about the dangers of skunks as well as how the destruction they cause.

Squirrels

Angry, defensive squirrel.

Squirrels are one of the most destructive and obnoxious pests in urban environments. Unlike the more shy bat and skunk, the squirrel is certainly more extroverted. Squirrels have every right to lay claim to any tree in our neighbourhoods. However, when squirrels make a home where people reside, wildlife removal may be required.

Although transmission of disease from a squirrel is unlikely, the potential certainly exists. Humans can contract diseases from squirrels indirectly by way of the parasites that they carry. For example, fleas, ticks and lice can transmit encephalitis or lyme disease to humans. Additionally, these parasites also pose a danger to pets.
