We run a professional wildlife removal business operating in San Jose, California. We service the whole San Francisco metropolitan area, and do much of our work in San Jose. We are a full-service San Jose animal trapping and removal company. We specialize in wildlife only, and are not like a regular San Jose pest control company or San Jose exterminator. We use humane methods to solve wild animal problems in California. We solve the root of the problem, by performing home repairs to keep animals out, and preventative measures in addition to critter trapping and removal. We offer a variety of services, from animal damage repair to waste cleanup, dead animal removal and odor control, and more. We handle several nuisance wildlife species, including squirrels, raccoons, snakes, skunks, and opossums. We also perform bat removal and bird control services, and rodent control, including poison-free mouse and rat removal. Give us a call any time at 415-881-4347 to discuss your San Jose animal control issue, and to schedule a fast appointment.

San Jose wildlife control tip of the month:

What should I do if I find an orphaned baby raccoon wandering about?

So you find a baby raccoon in your yard one day and wonder what to do. You have been watching and no mommy seems to be coming and so you are concerned that if it is left out on its own it is not going to survive. You just aren’t sure if there is a mom or not, so you wonder what you should do. That is a good question. Before you make any decisions here are some questions to ask yourself.

1. By its movements does it look hurt or incoherent, ex: it is falling down or moving in circles?
2. Does its fur look heavily matted or like it is falling out in places?
3. Is it making a sound like it cannot breathe?
4. Does it look like it is bleeding?
5. Does it look like it has cuts and scrapes on it?
6. Does it look like it could have been bitten by another animal?
7. Do you notice if parasites like maggots are on it?
8. Does a limb look broken or injured?
9. Did you find the mother dead?

If you answered yes to any of these questions than it is time to take action. The likelihood of the animal surviving is small unless it gets some assistance from San Jose exterminators. The problem is that you should not be doing this yourself. Raccoons carry a great many diseases and parasites and by trying to do the generous thing you may actually be endangering the health of yourself and your family. You simply cannot take this risk for sure.

This means that you are going to need to try to get some assistance from San Jose pest control. Before doing that you want to do something that protects the animal. If you just leave it outside some predator may get it and you don’t want that.

Put some think gloves on and cover all your exposed skin. Also put on some kind of mask to protect your breathing. Go outside and using something like a stick or a shovel guide the baby into some kind of container, like a wooden or plastic box. Set that aside.

Now it is the time to call San Jose animal control or the local San Jose wildlife removal and see what they can do to help you. Most often they will send someone out to pick up the animal so it can be cared for and nursed back to help under the protection of trained staff that know how to handle these kinds of animals.
