Connecticut is recognized nationwide for its beautiful natural scenery filled with luscious greenery, flowers, and streams. Unfortunately, this gorgeous environment creates a breeding ground for nuisance animal species, making wildlife control a major issue for many residents.

For 45 years, American Bio-Tech in Fairfield County, Connecticut, has specialized in humane animal control. If your home is experiencing an issue and requires raccoon removal, for instance, these experts will leave the harsh chemicals behind and relocate the critter to DEEP-approved land, keeping both your home and the environment safe. 

If you live in Connecticut, here are three wildlife control issues you’re likely to encounter:

Distressed Wildlife 

Unfortunately, encountering an animal that appears sick or injured is not uncommon, but the safest way to handle the situation is to stay cautious. No matter how sick an animal appears, don’t touch it or attempt to nurse it back to health—this is potentially dangerous for both you and the animal. There’s a chance the animal could be rabid and bite or scratch you. Signs like staggering or dragging limbs are also potentially dangerous and unpredictable, so contact a professional who specializes in humane animal control, like American Bio-Tech.

Reporting Dead Birds 

Bird flu is a problem in Connecticut that’s affecting waterfowl and shorebirds at alarmingly high rates. To help monitor the spread of the disease and maintain a healthy bird population in Connecticut, it’s important to report dead groups that contain five birds or more. If this instance occurs, then testing of the group might be necessary. If you find individual dead birds in your yard, report the incident to professionals and follow the appropriate disposal guidelines, such as burial or double-bagging and disposing the body in the nearest outdoor garbage container. To reach the DEEP Wildlife Division and file a report, call (860) 424-3011; you can also record a sighting online.

Nuisance Wildlife Control 

Unfortunately, many residents end up sharing their property with nuisance wildlife that can cause problems, such as opossums, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and more. These animals can harm pets, property, and in rare cases, even people. American Bio-Tech respects wildlife and understands that in most cases, the animal is better off being returned to its natural habitat away from populated areas. They’ll help you remove any unwelcome critters from your property and implement exclusionary methods to prevent future guests.
