Areas Around A Home Wildlife Pests Enter
Many households have at least one household member that is an animal. Whether that animal has feathers, fur or scales, those animals have a place inside your home. It's one thing to allow an animal to become a household pet; however, it's different when an unwanted animal starts residing in your home without your permission.
Animals can be sneaky little creatures. The size of a hole will vary depending on the type of animal. Raccoons, for instance, can fit through a four in

Birds Paired For Life
While scrolling through Facebook, I saw a post by the Birding News which was dated on February 27th, 2019 that read, "Bald Eagle Trio Paired for Life?". The article was about the story of three bald eagles nesting at the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife Refuge near Fulton, IL. Stewards of the Upper Mississippi River Refuge installed a nest camera and this is what they recorded. In the article two bald eagle dads and one bald eagle mom share the responsibilities for t
The Smell of Spring
It finally has arrived!! The first day of Spring in 2019. Spring is the season where the trees start to re-bloom, flowers start to grow and bloom, the temperatures start to get warmer, and many wildlife animals give birth. But, how is the first day of Spring determined? The first day of spring falls either on March 19th, 20th or 21st of each year which is known as the spring equinox, also called the March or vernal equinox. This event marks the astronomical first day of spri
An Annoying Raccoon
Did you know... a raccoon's hand looks like human's. They have five fingers and use their hands to collect food, open shells, door or trash cans. Did you know raccoons are strong and determined animals in which they can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home? Raccoons are strong enough to rip apart the siding of your home, tear apart ducts, chew on wires, and play peek-a-boo with your installation. These nuisance pests look for any easy access into your home where
Respiratory Problems Cause By Wildlife Animals
We all need to breathe. For any living being there must be air that is inhaled to the lungs and then exhaled out. A normal respiratory rate for a human adult is just 12 breaths per minute while resting. That's 17,280 breaths taken in a 24 hour day just by resting. The respiratory rate will increase depending on the current activity at that time, so the number of breaths taken within a 24 hour day will increase. Our lungs are effected by certain factors that we breathe. The na
Household Items Used For Wildlife Rescue
I recently came across a post on Facebook showing how old mascara wands are used to remove fly eggs and larva from the fur of wild animals. After reading the article, it got me thinking what other everyday tools we take for granted that can also be used for help wildlife animals. Here are some of the tools that can be used. Mascara Wand Wands are used to remove fly eggs and larva from baby animals. Since the wildlife animals are so small, the wants are the perfect size for th
This Is For The Birds
Birds have so many beautiful colors. Birds watches like to spy upon birds due to those colors. My grandmother had a huge birdhouse in the back of her yard so that she can stand at her back window to watch them. Birds were not the only animal that visited that bird feeder though. Even though birds are awesome creatures to watch, they are among being a pest toward homeowners. There are bad ideas on why not to feed birds near your home. Birds can settle in an area and become dep
Skunks Are Stinking Up The Place
As I was on my way to work today, I passed five dead skunks. The vile smell penetrated my car and it reminded me of the 1972 song by Loudon Wainwright III - Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road. Who remembers this song? It is mating season for skunks and they are out and about - as you can tell by their smell. While I cringe passing them on the road, I fear that a skunk will take up residence under my porch or deck since this is usually the time homeowners start to come in co
