Raccoons are intelligent, nocturnal mammals recognized by their distinctive facial mask and ringed tail. They can become pests when they raid garbage cans, enter attics, or damage property in search of shelter and food. Pest control measures typically involve securing trash containers, sealing entry points, and employing humane trapping or professional wildlife removal services if necessary.

Skunks are small to medium-sized mammals recognized by their distinctive black-and-white markings and their potent defensive spray. They often forage in human habitats, rummaging through garbage and gardens for food. Pest control typically involves removing food sources, sealing entry points, and using humane traps or deterrents to prevent skunks from nesting near homes.

Bats are winged mammals that typically feed on insects, playing a vital role in controlling pest populations. They often roost in attics, barns, or caves, and can become a nuisance when droppings accumulate and noise disturbs occupants. Pest control involves sealing entry points, safely excluding bats through one-way vents or netting, and cleaning affected areas to maintain hygiene.

Birds are warm-blooded vertebrates with feathers and wings, found in diverse environments worldwide. While many bird species benefit ecosystems by pollinating plants and controlling insects, some can become pests when they nest in buildings, damage crops, or create noise and droppings. Pest control often involves humane deterrents like netting, spikes, or scare tactics, as well as sealing entry points to prevent roosting or nesting.

Opossums are nocturnal marsupials characterized by their pointed snout and prehensile tail, often seen scavenging for food. They can become a nuisance when they take shelter under porches or in attics, potentially causing noise and mess. Pest control typically involves removing attractants (such as pet food), sealing entry points, and using humane live traps or professional wildlife relocation services.

Squirrels are agile, bushy-tailed rodents often found in urban and suburban areas, known for their acrobatic leaps and persistent search for food. They can become a nuisance when they invade homes or attics, causing noise, chewing on wiring, and creating potential fire hazards. Pest control measures typically include sealing entry points, setting humane traps, and eliminating food sources to discourage squirrels from nesting or feeding around properties.
