Commonly Asked Wildlife Questions
If I find an injured animal, will Wildlife Resolutions Rescue them?
No, we are not a licensed Wildlife Rehab Facility. We work hand in hand with local rehabilitation facilities. You can find a list of wildlife rehabbers on the NYS DEC website.
Is Wildlife Resolutions the same thing as animal control?
No, Animal control is a program run by the county that deals with domestic animals and stray/feral pets. We only deal with wildlife.
What happens to the animals once they are trapped?
This depends on the species and type of trap used. Typically, any animals that are trapped and removed from your property will be euthanized in accordance with the AVMA euthanasia guidelines.
Can Wild animals be relocated?
It depends on the species. Some species can be relocated with written permission from the landowner or state biologist. Others cannot be relocated due to concerns about Rabies.
If I choose non-lethal control, will the animals just come back?
Not necessarily. We will address the current points of entry to help ensure that the problem animal(s) doesn’t come back. Wild animals are unpredictable and we can’t control all variables.
What if I get a new Roof?
If you are planning to get a new roof, it is preferable to have that done before we do any exclusion work on your roof. If we have already done work on your house and now you are having the roof replaced, we can schedule a time to come back out and see if the new roof work has interfered with anything we did previously.
What’s the Average cost for a bat exclusion?
Every house and situation is unique. The average cost for a residential building is $3,000 – 5,000. Some buildings could be considerably less while others will be significantly more.
Does WR deal with Mice?
Yes, we do. We have several options for dealing with mouse issues in both residential and commercial settings.
Do you use poisons?
Most reputable wildlife control companies avoid poisons, as they create odor issues, are often illegal for wildlife, and do not address the entry point.
Can you remove dead animals?
Yes, we can help with removing dead animals from walls, chimneys, or crawlspaces and sanitizing the area. We also have odor neutralizing treatments we can do for bad odors such as skunk spray or dead animals in confined areas.
What is "exclusion" or "one-way doors"?
This involves installing specialized doors that allow animals to exit on their own but not re-enter, which is often considered more humane.
Will my insurance cover this?
While animal removal may not be covered, damage to your home (e.g., chewed wires, damaged attic insulation) often is.
Do you handle domestic animals?
Wildlife companies handle wild animals, while city or county animal control is responsible for domestic animals such as dogs and cats, including feral cats.
How much do services cost?
Costs vary based on the species, complexity, and damage repairs needed, but it is a specialized service that is not typically free.
Can I hear them in my attic?
Scratching noises in the attic are commonly caused by squirrels, mice, or raccoons, which often nest in and damage insulation.
When to Call a Professional
