How Wildlife Gets Onto Leon Valley Properties And What Attracts Them

Wildlife can end up on your property because of many natural and human-related factors. First, remember that Leon Valley is close to natural habitats like forests and parks, which makes it easier for wildlife to venture into residential areas in search of food and shelter. These boundaries will keep getting blurred as the city grows.

Also, your home might provide plenty of wildlife attractants, from bird feeders to overflowing garbage bins and easily accessible pet food. They can quickly lure animals like squirrels, raccoons, and pigeons. If you have a garden with fruit-bearing trees, we recommend cleaning up your yard regularly to avoid providing wild animals with a food source.

Water sources like birdbaths and pools can also become magnets for thirsty creatures. Finally, bushes and other vegetation can provide hiding spots for animals seeking refuge. Determining the reasons that can lead to wildlife infestations can be challenging. Accurate Pest Control can help identify them to protect your property year-round.

Depending on your situation, we might recommend strategies like one-way doors for exclusion, live trapping and relocation, cruelty-free feral cat population reduction, and more. Call us today to discover how our wildlife control services can make all the difference in handling everything from opossums and raccoons to squirrels and pigeons.

Four Ways You Can Deter Wasps From Your Leon Valley Home

Wasps are essential to our ecosystem, but they can be problematic if they build nests close to homes due to the risk of dangerous stings. Here are four effective strategies to deter them throughout the seasons:

• Focus on preventive measures. Seal potential entry points like gaps under doors and cracks in walls. We can help pinpoint problem areas with an inspection and address them to minimize the likelihood of wasps establishing nests on your property.
• Eliminate food sources that attract stinging insects. We recommend tightly closing your outdoor trash cans. Also, regularly dispose of food scraps and fallen fruits to reduce food availability.
• Consider using natural repellents. Wasps dislike certain scents like peppermint and eucalyptus. Planting them around your home, in addition to professional strategies, might discourage wasps from settling in the vicinity. Decoy nests can also be helpful.
• Invest in professional wasp nest removal services. Wasps are potentially dangerous insects. It is best to let the pros handle an infestation, even in the early stages.

Regular maintenance and vigilance are crucial elements in ensuring long-term protection. Call Accurate Pest Control today to learn about our safe and effective strategies for complete wasp control and prevention.
