The Growing Conflict
Squirrels in your attic? Raccoons in your chimney? Deer in your garden? Mice in your basement? Hundreds of different species of animals coexist in the forests, fields and shorelines around us. As more development encroaches on previously untamed areas, more human-wildlife conflicts result. Consequently, people are having increasing contact with wildlife, including: raccoons, skunk, mink, bear, deer, rabbits, otters, squirrels, chipmunks, moles, bats, snakes and a variety of birds.
When animals come into our neighbourhoods in search of food and increasingly scarce shelter, they may end up in our yards, basements, and attics. While they learn to adapt to our presence, we seem to have a difficult time with these living arrangements. Out of fear, ignorance or for the sake of convenience, they are often trapped, killed, or poisoned.
That is why Enviro-Mike was created.
While some animals can be annoying to us, it is rarely necessary to set traps or lay out poison which can also harm other non-targeted creatures, companion animals, or even small children. There are a variety of simple techniques to deter and repel wildlife if absolutely needed. Enviro-Mike produces a menu of options that a property owner or business can choose from.
Sometimes animal removal companies exaggerate common myths about certain wildlife in order to charge incredibly high fees. Yet a little understanding and tolerance go a long way in dealing with local wildlife. In some places the law prohibits certain species from being removed from one's property without killing them. This amounts to a death sentence for wildlife trapped by many animal removal services.
Enviro-Mike has the facts to help you decide what's best and most humane given your circumstances and has developed non-lethal ways to resolve problems while still complying with local regulations. Only in cases where the animal is seriously ill or injured is the decision ever made to euthanize.
Enviro-Mike can help you resolve your human-wildlife conflicts in a humane, cost-effective manner. Timely, intelligent intervention is almost always a money saver.
With over 10 years experience in the field, Enviro-Mike works closely with regional humane organizations, including local wildlife rehabilitator, Mountainaire Avian Rescue in Merville on Vancouver Island, to resolve all wildlife conflicts in the best interest of both parties.
Enviro-Mike offers phone consultations 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help determine the best resolution to wildlife conflicts at your home, business or rental property.
