What intruders to watch out for when the snow melts

Squirrels

The most common household invaders in the Gatineau and Ottawa regions, squirrels will manage to find most entry points into the house, even the smallest ones. Decontamination is not always necessary, but it may be necessary to re-insulate a room after squirrels have been chased out. Squirrels can gnaw on aluminum, wood, and other exterior finishes. Contact BW Nature Control in Ottawa or Gatineau to request our services, and we will help you get rid of them.

 

Raccoons

Common throughout Canada, raccoons can invade attics, roofs, and chimneys. Their droppings may be infected with roundworms, known scientifically as Baylisascaris procyonis. Therefore, it is recommended to clean everything if you have had raccoon visits. Raccoons have great dexterity: they can tear through soffits, shingles, and aluminum. Contact BW Nature Control in Ottawa or Gatineau to request our services, and we will help you get rid of them.

Bats

Objects of many nightmares, bats invade attics in Gatineau and Ottawa and contaminate them with their droppings. A thorough inspection of the house must be done, and often cleaning, decontamination, and reinstallation of insulation are necessary. Bats are a protected species; therefore, they cannot be exterminated. Generally, the little brown bat and the big brown bat are the ones most commonly found in homes in the Gatineau and Ottawa regions. You must be very vigilant because bats carry rabies: they must therefore be handled by experts.

Groundhogs

Groundhogs are experts at digging holes, and their numbers can grow significantly if you do not take quick measures to keep them away. Physical barriers can be very useful in limiting their presence under sheds and decks. However, for large properties in the Gatineau and Ottawa regions, installing numerous traps may yield better results. Contact BW Nature Control in Ottawa or Gatineau to request our services, and we will help you get rid of them.

Skunks

Known for their foul odour, skunks can invade sheds, decks, and cause damage to garbage and landscaping in Ottawa and Gatineau. If a building is directly sprayed by a skunk, the odour can persist for a long time and seep through ventilation openings. Odor control will then be necessary. Installing barriers is essential to eliminate their nests. Contact BW Nature Control in Ottawa or Gatineau to request our services, and we will help you get rid of them.
