Understanding the Wildlife in Kansas City

Kansas City is home to a variety of wildlife species, including raccoons, opossums, squirrels, birds, and bats. These animals play vital roles in our ecosystem, but can sometimes become unwelcome visitors in residential and commercial areas.
Principles of Humane Wildlife Control

Our approach emphasizes respect for wildlife and compliance with environmental laws. Here are the core principles:

Prevention First
Inspection: Regular inspections of property to identify potential entry points.
Secure Food Sources: Properly store trash and pet food to deter wildlife.
Habitat Modification: Trim trees and shrubs near buildings to reduce access.

Legal and Ethical Considerations
Compliance: Adhere to Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism regulations.
Permits: Obtain necessary permits for trapping and relocation.
Species Protection: Be aware of protected species and their specific requirements.

Humane Removal Techniques
Non-Lethal Methods: Use approved traps that minimize stress and avoid harm.
Professional Services: Engage licensed wildlife control operators for complex situations.
No-Kill Policies: Prioritize non-lethal removal whenever possible.

Safe Relocation and Release
Suitable Habitats: Relocate animals to appropriate environments that do not disturb existing wildlife communities.
Follow-Up Monitoring: Ensure relocated animals adapt well to new habitats.

Repellents and Deterrents
Natural Deterrents: Utilize scent-based repellents and noise deterrents as first-line measures.
Exclusion Techniques: Seal entry points with animal-proof materials to prevent re-entry.
