How To Keep Problematic Wildlife Away From Your McAllen Property

Various types of wildlife may enter your McAllen property and bring with them a number of threats to your home, health, and property. Our article discusses the best methods for wildlife management and wildlife removal to help keep your property protected.

What Is Wildlife? Problems and Common Invaders

Wildlife is a general term used for any common property-invading critter in the McAllen area. You are most likely to see the following wildlife around your yard:

• Birds
• Raccoons
• Squirrels 
• Snakes
• Opossums
• Bats

While these critters may all be fairly recognizable and common to see around your home, this doesn't make them any less dangerous.

Any wildlife can bring with them serious risks to your health or the health of those that live there. Wildlife carry many diseases, including illnesses like rabies, salmonella, plague, mange, and distemper. Plus, most of these animals also carry parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mites that they then drop off around your home. There is also a risk of being bitten or attacked by aggressive wildlife, something that will require immediate medical attention in most cases.

Additionally, when wildlife start to settle around your home, they can cause significant property damage by leaving droppings or as a result of gnawing, chewing, or scratching at the external or internal structures of your McAllen home. These risks are why proper wildlife management is essential.

It is important to note that many types of wildlife will become aggressive, especially if they feel trapped or cornered around your home. You should never attempt wildlife removal by yourself, as this will likely result in some negative consequences. The best way to handle any wildlife problem is to reach out for professional assistance; trained specialists will be able to remove wildlife from your home effectively and safely, decreasing risks to your home and any individuals that live with you.
