The Natural State is home to one of the nation’s most vibrant ecosystems, and its wildlife starts to get very active in the springtime. Unfortunately, rodents such as mice and rats, as well as larger animals such as raccoons, opossums, and squirrels, aren’t always content to stay in their natural habitats! If you see droppings in your garage or hear scratching sounds coming from your attic or crawlspace, it often means there’s a nest nearby. But our team of pest control experts at The Bug Man is always a phone call away, and we proudly offer humane wildlife removal services in Little Rock and throughout central Arkansas!

We’ve offered no-contract pest control since 1976, and we’re here to help if you’re currently dealing with an infestation of wildlife or other pests. We also offer annual termite inspections to protect your home investment and monthly mosquito treatment plans to help you reclaim your backyard this summer. Rodents and other wildlife can be particularly destructive, and the longer you wait to deal with them, the more serious the damage can be. The good news is that there are a few simple things you can take as a homeowner to discourage wildlife activity.

Your first task is to keep your lawn mowed and your hedges pruned. If rodents and other wildlife can find shelter outdoors, it’s only a matter of time before they’ll try to get inside. Be sure to also routinely inspect your home’s exterior for potential access points. Mice can squeeze through holes as small as a dime, so you’ll want to replace any water-damaged wood you find right away and repaint the new wood to prevent future termite damage. You should also grab a tube of clear siliconized caulk to seal up any openings where pipes or wires enter your home.

Rodents are constantly on the hunt for food, so you should eliminate all potential food sources. Outdoor bird feeders are often an open invitation for rodents, and you should pick up pet food dishes after feeding times. Be sure that the lid on your outdoor receptacle stays securely closed at all times, and consider double-bagging cat litter and other particularly smelly trash.
