The Greater Boston area town of Billerica is rich with wooded areas, trails and streams that many species of wildlife call home. While local wildlife generally stick to forests and parks, they can occasionally wander into nearby neighborhoods and commercial areas in search of food and shelter. Once inside, invasive wildlife can cause serious property damage or spread contamination that can threaten your health. Therefore, if you discover a wild critter living inside your Billerica home or business, contact the experts at Critter Control® of Boston immediately for fast and effective wildlife removal services.
Common Nuisance Wildlife in Billerica
While any wild animal can become a nuisance, the following critters most commonly infest Billerica properties:
-
Bats
Bats are a nocturnal flying mammal that are important to the local ecosystem. However, they can become a problem if they nest in your attic, causing noise disturbances and building up piles of their corrosive and toxic feces, known as guano.
-
Birds
From house sparrows to pigeons, birds of all sizes can cause problems for your home or business by creating noise, piling up nesting materials and carrying parasites onto your property.
-
Raccoons
Raccoons are one of the sneakiest types of urban wildlife and are iconic for their bandit-like fur patterns. However, their scavenging habits can throw litter around your yard and disturb gardens. They can also cause property damage by making their way inside your basement, damaging critical infrastructure.
-
Opossums
Opossums are unique because they’re one of few marsupials found in North America. While they’ll usually “play dead” if they feel threatened, they can become aggressive, which can lead to bites and scratches that pass on serious illnesses.
-
Rodents
When most people think of rodents, they probably think of small house mice. However, the rodent family is quite large and includes other nuisance wildlife, such as rats and squirrels. Rodents use their small size to their advantage by sneaking onto your property and using their teeth to gnaw at anything they can get their paws on.
The longer these critters stick around your property, the more time they have to cause property damage and pose health risks. That’s why as soon as you notice any signs of wildlife activity, it’s time to call Critter Control® of Boston.
