Oppossum Removal & Possum Trapping Melbourne FL:1-321-236-9031

Centurian Wildlife Control specializes in the removal and relocation of opossums in Melbourne Florida. Opossums, more commonly known as Possums, are a nuisance to residents of Melbourne, Florida. They come onto your property, search through your garbage for a meal, will eat from your outdoor dog or cat bowl, and can even drink from your open pool. While the opossum is on his hunt for food he leaves possum feces and urine all around your outdoor spaces.

Opossums also like to make their home in your attic. They will exploit any opening they find in your roof line including openings in the soffit, the shingle space, roof valleys, roof vents, air conditioning openings, and more. If a hole isn’t large enough the opossum will chew and scratch at the weak spot they’ve found until they have created a space large enough for them to move in and out of with ease causing damage to your Melbourne home. While in your attic the possum will create a habitat for itself that will include chewing on your insulation, making a nest for itself and any babies it will have during the spring months. The mother will carry her young in her pouch, she is a marsupial, for several months, but soon the young ones will outgrow the pouch and will use the nest space she created in your attic. Possums also carry fleas and ticks and can create many problems for your domestic house pets including the continuation of a flea infestation.

Bats are plentiful in Melbourne FL. They can be found in buildings, homes, churches, businesses, stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, essentially any structure in Florida can be a home to a colony of bats. Bats in Florida like to live in the highest places of 15 feet or taller, this helps them avoid their natural predators, that’s why the like to make their home in your attics, especially in two or three story homes and buildings.

Evidence of bats in your Melbourne FL home include noises during the early evening and dusk hours, hearing the bat’s echolocation or chirping, a rancid smell of bat guano, and the site of bats inside your home or in your outdoor areas. Bats inside your Melbourne Florida homes generally defecate in one specific area, and that feces, referred to a guano is very dangerous to humans.

Squirrel Removal Melbourne FL:1-321-236-9031

It is very common in Melbourne Florida for Centurian Wildlife Control to have frequent squirrel removal calls in the spring and fall. This is generally mating season for squirrels, but because of the usually warm weather Melbourne has, squirrels can create problems for homeowners at any time of the year. Squirrels are very resourceful animals and if they cannot find access to your home they can make their own by chewing through most types of home building materials. In Melbourne FL most squirrels will use existing openings in the structure of your home in the roof line, underneath shingles, small openings in roof overhangs, loose fascia or soffits, and even roof vent openings to gain access to your attic. Evidence you have squirrels include hearing the animals running overhead during the day time hours. They are not nocturnal like rodents. You may see the animals leaving holes in your home or structure, and evidence of chewing on items to create nests.

Armadillo Removal Melbourne FL: 1-321-236-9031

Armadillos can be a more than a pesky garden pest in Melbourne. These invasive species will dig burrows that can damage the foundation of your home in Melbourne and also create ideal gardens for other animals including venomous snakes, skunks, and rats!

The nine-banded armadillo in Melbourne is an armored mammal that likes the same sorts of habitat that we tend create our gardens. That is dry forested areas. Armadillos can weigh as much as 20 lbs and is about the size of a typical house cat. Armadillos in Melbourne are covered in a thick bone-like armor called Keratin. That is the same tissue that makes up our fingernails. This is to protect them from predators in Melbourne. The nine-banded armadillo also has a rather unique defense mechanism- it jumps! If a predator such as a dog or coyote approaches an armadillo, the armadillo will jump up to 4 feet high with surprising force hitting the predator in the mouth or face. This will disorient the predator and can even break its jaw allowing the armadillo to make its escape in Melbourne. This can be especially troublesome when your dog gets too curious with an armadillo that has wandered into your yard! The first signs that you have an armadillo in your yard is going to be large divots in the ground. These will be about the size and shape of an ice cream cone. These holes in your Melbourne yard will be non-continuous and will not connect with other holes. If your yard has smaller holes it is more likely squirrels or if your yard has lots of holes and mounds that all seem to connect, it is likely that you have a feral hog problem. If you see these holes in Melbourne from armadillos, it is important to call a professional to come remove it from your yard. Armadillos in Melbourne are notoriously difficult to trap as bait does not work. Instead, an experienced trapper must determine where the armadillo is travelling and in what direction. Then the trapper must predict where in Melbourne the armadillo will be next and place traps along that path. Sometimes, drift fences are set up to increase the chances of capture. We normally will set traps for a 2 week period of time to capture and remove all the armadillos possible for our customers. Armadillos can be a more than a pesky garden pest in Melbourne. These invasive species will dig burrows that can damage the foundation of your house in Melbourne and also create ideal Gardens for other animals including venomous snakes, skunks, and rats!

Melbourne FL Snake Removal: 1-321-236-9031

Snakes in your yard, pool deck, under your deck or in your home in Melbourne? Scared and unsure what to do next? You've come to the right place! When dealing with any type of snake in your home or on your property in Melbourne the best way to remove them is trapping. Trapping is the most humane and successful way to rid them from your home/ office. The first thing that you want to do is set traps. Placing them in spot where you are noticing a lot of activity. Using multiple traps will assure that you can trap them in multiple areas in Melbourne. To get them into the traps you want to make sure that you are baiting them correctly. If the snakes are hanging out around your trash, then try using trash from your garbage as that is what they are used to eating. Cat food may also be effective however you may end up attracted other animals such as cats, raccoons, opossums, etc. If you normally leave cat / dog food out, we recommend cleaning it up right away as this will attract all kinds of wildlife that you don’t want.

Snakes in Melbourne are smart, sometimes they are able to grab food from a trap without setting it off and sometimes they will even flip the trap over. Try staking the trap down to prevent them from flipping it. Then you can wrap your bait in hardware cloth and hang it from the wire from the roof of the trap right above the trip pan. Eventually the snake will get frustrated and will then sit on the pan. Live snake trapping in Melbourne can take time. We would recommend keeping the traps up for at least two weeks. Patience is key, make sure to leave the traps alone and give it time. Bait is usually good for about 72 hours but snakes are used to eating garbage so they are not going to care if it starts to stink a little. OK, you’ve caught some snakes… Now what? This is the easiest part, relocate them in Melbourne. There are trapping rules and regulations so you always want to check with your local wildlife agency such as the fish and wildlife commission in Florida. Generally, for relocation you have to have a 40-acre plot of land to release them on as well as permission from the owner. You always want to make sure that you are releasing them to an area that they will survive, areas that are their natural habitats, like forests or even a local wildlife preserve. Venomous snakes cannot be relocated so please call a professional in Melbourne anytime you are dealing with a snake you think may be dangerous. Whenever you have a wild animal in a trap you want to make sure that you are handling it properly to keep the animal, and yourself safe. Never put your fingers in a trap, you do not want to mess with a wild animal. If you are scratched or bitten you would then have to deal with going to get tested for rabies. When you do have an animal in a cage in Melbourne the law states you have to release them within 24 hours of them being caught. The longer they are in the cage the more the animal will suffer and the goal is to humanely relocate them. So the sooner you release them the better! After you have chosen where you are going to release the snakes and have carefully transported them there you want to make sure to correctly open the cage. Point the trap away from you and in the direction you want the snake to go. ALWAYS stand behind the cage when opening. Most cases the snakes will slither right out, in the event that they are hanging out and not leaving you should raise your arms above your head like a bear and make loud noises to scare it off.

Skunk Removal Melbourne FL:1-321-236-9031

As we all know skunks smell! But did you know skunks in Melbourne can spray you from up to 10 feet away? Shooting out from their anal scent glands skunks will only spray as a defense mechanism. There are 2 glands located on either side of the anus, filled with a sulfur mixture of chemicals that have a distinct and offensive smell. The smell is so strong that it will even deter bears! The muscles surrounding the anus allow the skunk to spray accurately from as far as 10 feet away! The chemical mixture will cause irritation and in some cases temporary blindness. The smell is also so pungent it can be detected by humans up to a mile away in Melbourne! Skunks scent glands carry up to 15 cc of spray that can be used between 5 or 6 times. After the supply is depleted it can take up to ten days to produce more, because of this skunks are reluctant to use their spray. They will attempt to warn predators in Melbourne first by stomping their feet, hissing, or even doing a handstand dance. Once the skunk is out of spray it is otherwise defenseless against predators until it can produce more. During their mating season, February through March, female skunks will sometimes spray their male suitors to let them know that they are not interested (straight to the point with these ladies). It would take a lot for you to be sprayed, but it is not uncommon for your curious dog to get a face full or even a trapper. We had a tech who had a run in with a skunk and was sprayed on his first day out on the field! Although it is most common practice to use tomato juice to rid the smell, it has been proven more effective by the Humane Society to use a mixture of Diluted Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking soda, and dish soap.

If you continue to see skunks or are smelling them around your home, it is important to call a professional to come remove it from your yard in Melbourne. Skunks are notoriously difficult to trap, they are very quick and can climb on top of the trap and remove the bait from the outside. Instead, an experienced trapper must determine where the skunk is travelling and in what direction, then the trapper must predict where the skunk will be next and place traps along that path. Sometimes, drift fences are set up to increase the chances of capture. We will also tie the bait down in the back of the trap so the skunk cannot remove it unless inside the trap. We normally will set traps for a 2 week period of time to capture and remove all the armadillos possible for our customers in Melbourne.

Dead Animal Removal Services for Melbourne FL:1-321-236-9031

Often we get calls from customers in Melbourne not dealing with a live animal, but a dead one in their home or on their property. Usually the first indication is that there is a horrible smell coming from somewhere in the home in Melbourne. Sometimes there are even flies or a stain on the wall/ceiling. Nine times out of ten though, they’re calling about the overpowering, disgusting smell. Whenever an animal dies it naturally starts to decay and will start to omit an awful odor. After roughly 3 days, the smell is so bad it may have you wanting to move out of Melbourne! There are a lot of factors into how bad a carcass will smell, such as size, state of decomposition, temperature in home, and location.

Obviously the larger the animal the more it’s going to stink, simply because there is more decaying flesh. How long the animal has been dead is a huge factor as well, at first the smell will be weak, then around 3 days it’s going to get much worse. Finally, after maggots eat the carcass, the smell will lessen and eventually dissipate as you are left with a skeleton. Temperature and location in Melbourne are also a factor; decomposition is sped up by high heat (which we all know is abundant in Florida). The hotter it is, the faster it’s going to decompose and the more it’s going to smell! Let’s say you had rats and you put out some poison, the poison does its job and kills the rats in Melbourne. Don’t see the problem? Stay with me. Poison does not kill them on the spot, they are not going to lay down and die in a nice easily accessible place for you to clean up later. Nope, they are going to crawl into your insulation, walls, crawl space and there they are going to die and begin decomposing. See the problem now?

If you think that you are having an issue with dead animals in the wall, in the attic, or even dead animals under your home in Melbourne give us a call. We will send a manager in Melbourne out there to remove the dead animals. We will also treat the area to remove any of the bacteria and odor affiliated with a dead animal infestation. Finally if we need to we can also perform exclusion work where we seal off any of the access points that the animal used to get into the home to guarantee no additional animals will come back.
