From raccoons digging through the trash to skunks sneaking around outside, wildlife can be vexing, to say the least. It may seem strange to consider these types of animals as such, but the wildlife control experts at American Bio-Tech want you to understand that even though they hang around homes and businesses, these animals were never meant to be domesticated pets. For more than 40 years, these experts have been employing humane animal control techniques to safely remove pesky wildlife from people's properties.

The Sherman, CT-based wildlife control business has helped people all throughout the state, and they know when it comes to handling the animals in the question, it's important to first understand the differences between wildlife and domestic animals:

• Habitat: An animal’s home is perhaps the easiest way to determine whether it’s wild or domestic. If an animal can live in an area independent of human influence or aid, they are considered wildlife.

• Population: There are more species of wild animals than there are domesticated species.

• Obedience: Domestic animals have been bred and trained to obey humans. Obedience training includes everything from basic commands to complicated agricultural assistance.

• Aggression: Just as domesticated animals are more obedient than wildlife, wild animals exhibit more aggressive behaviors overall.
