The Greater Boston area is home to hundreds of species of urban and natural wildlife. While majestic to view from a distance, such wild animals can become a destructive nuisance to residential and commercial property owners in Somerville, MA. If wild critters have made their way inside your Somerville home or business, rely on the experts at Critter Control® of Boston for safe and effective wildlife removal services.
Common Somerville, MA Nuisance Wildlife
The most common nuisance wildlife that infest Somerville homes and businesses include:
- Bats: Bats are an important mammal because they help regulate the population of several pests, including mosquitoes. However, bats can become a pest themselves if they decide to nest in your attic or crawlspace. Bats roost in small crevices, and their toxic and corrosive droppings (known as guano) can cause both property damage and serious health risks if inhaled.
- Birds: Birds may be pleasant to listen to, but their nests can cause serious damage to your home’s infrastructure. While normally docile, birds can also become a threat if you accidentally get too close to their nests.
- Raccoons: Known for their scavenging method of finding food, raccoons are one of the most infamous types of urban wildlife. They constantly litter as they search through trash cans, and can cause property damage as they climb through your vents, chimneys, pet doors and windows.
- Opossums: Opossums are a unique type of marsupial, best known for their defense mechanism of playing dead when approached. Though they may seem harmless, possums can carry dangerous diseases, like tuberculosis, and spread fleas, ticks and parasites to humans and pets.
- Rodents: The last thing you want to find running across your kitchen is a rat or a mouse. Squirrels are another common rodent that often nest in or around residential yards. These rodents will quickly nest and reproduce, causing serious damage and spreading disease.
