Living in Wichita means sharing space with all kinds of wildlife. While these animals are a natural part of our Kansas environment, problems arise when they make their way into homes, attics, garages, or under porches. At Critter Control of Wichita, we believe protecting your home doesn't have to come at the expense of local wildlife. Our team uses humane and effective strategies to keep your property safe while respecting the animals we share it with.
Why Humane Wildlife Control Matters
Wild animals don’t understand property lines or building codes. When they seek food, shelter, or a safe place to raise young, your home can be an attractive option. But trapping or harming them isn’t just inhumane—it can also be illegal, ineffective, and unsafe. Many animals, such as bats and birds, are protected under state and federal laws. Removing them improperly can lead to fines or unintended consequences like orphaned young or a re-infestation.
Humane wildlife control focuses on resolving the issue in a way that’s safe for both humans and animals. That means using exclusion, relocation, and prevention methods that prioritize long-term solutions over short-term fixes.
Our Humane Approach to Wildlife Removal
At Critter Control of Wichita, we use a multi-step process designed to identify the problem, remove animals without harm, and prevent future issues.
Inspection and Assessment
Every situation starts with a thorough inspection. We look for entry points, nesting areas, droppings, and damage. Our experts identify what type of animal is present and determine the safest and most humane course of action.
Safe and Ethical Removal
We use live traps, one-way doors, and exclusion techniques that allow animals to leave but not return. These methods are especially important during spring and summer, when many animals are raising young. Our team always checks for babies and ensures family units stay together when possible.
Repairs and Prevention
Once the animal is safely removed, we seal entry points with durable, wildlife-proof materials. We also repair any damage caused by the animal—like chewed wires or torn insulation—restoring the safety of your home. Preventive strategies may include chimney caps, vent screens, or trimming tree limbs that provide access to the roof.
Sanitation and Cleanup
Wildlife can leave behind waste, nesting material, and parasites that pose health risks. We thoroughly clean affected areas and offer attic restoration services to eliminate contamination and reduce future attraction.
