I never pass on a news interview. Coincidentally, the day I got the call for the bat that turned out to be rabid, it was like someone flipped a switch as far as the number of calls for people finding bats in their home. No, that isn’t my hand holding a rabid bat.

Health department officials said that the bat was found on Monday, ...

Live action! Removing some baby raccoons from a customer’s soffit. If you wonder why I seem a little jumpy it’s because I had not accounted for the mother yet. Hopefully she will get trapped tonight.

It all started with what I honestly thought was a bird in the wall. After cutting a hole in the wall, I find the culprit was actually a squirrel. He came out of the hole on his own while the customer ran out of the room. I chased him around the bedroom a few times, into the bathroom, where I thought I had him cornered, but did not. The chase finally ended back in the bedroom, where I was able to get over top of him and pin him to the ground and carry him to the truck.

2 of 3 bats that had returned to a new customers attic vents. One already flew out prior to video. Bats will hang out under slats even if interior screen is intact. This one had a baseball sized hole in bottom that allowed access to inside. Because the screen material used on most of these vents is not very tough material, I always encourage clients to have them covered from the outside with welded wire cut to size.

If you or anyone you know have been noticing unusual bat activity at your home, feel free to contact me at 859–4 92–6949. If you need to reach me, please call me and not message me. You reach me fast.

Groundhogs number 4,5 and 6 from the same property over last few days and there are still more. Total of 9 burrows around home and detached garage. Had the customer waited a couple more weeks, you could have probably tripled the number of Groundhogs caught.

Not a bad trap line check considering I only have 12 snares out.

This raccoon had an obvious access point and he and others over time had absolutely destroyed the customers duct work. Some duct was completely disconnected and others were so shredded they’re almost useless. Fortunately home owners insurance will cover damage caused by raccoons most of the time. This includes damaged HVAC equipment and waste cleanup. Both things are services KYote Wildlife Control provides.
