Fishing for Starlings

The call came in as a bird in the fireplace. Fairly common call, the bird, usually a starling falls down the chimney and sits on the damper, jumping and flapping around. These calls are normally solved by opening the damper a bit until the bird sticks his head through and you can grab him and pull him out. Not the case this time. Upon inspection of the fireplace I observed that the damper was open and I could see straight up into the sky. No bird in there, but I could plainly hear him jumping and fluttering around. The fireplace was an insert and the stove pipe went straight up the flue, leaving a gap around the whole pipe. This is where the bird was located. There was no way to get him from the bottom and no vents to go through, so up on the roof I went. Two stories high staring down the gap between the stove pipe and the flue, I could see the bird down on the bottom, but now how to get him out. After thinking for a minute, I cut a piece of wood about 3 inches by 5 inches. I then drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the top and tied it to a piece of rope, creating like a pendulum. I then cut a glue board to fit the board and stapled it to the board. I then began to lower it down the gap hoping to stick the bird with it and pull him up. After getting it by the many brackets that lined the pipe the whole way down, I finally got it to the bottom, but of course not near the bird. For the next 45 minutes I kept bringing it up and down until I eventually was able to stick it to the bird. I slowly brought the whole thing up, as not to lose the bird. Once at the top, I told myself that my first fishing for starlings trip was successful. Cayuga Creek Nuisance Wildlife Removal is a full service animal control company.

Skunk Grubbing

Ever notice small quarter size holes in your lawn. Lots of customers first thoughts are oh no I got moles or voles, when indeed skunks are the culprits. This damage, commonly known as skunk grubbing occurs when skunks are digging in the lawn in search of, yup you guessed it, grubs. These are a favorite food of the skunk and a lawn that has a healthy population of grubs, will most likely also be visited by skunks. In the course of a few nights, a grubbing skunk can damage lawns in excess of 1 acre. These unsightly holes will continue to grow until the offending skunks are removed. Raccoons will also dig up lawns for grubs, but they tend to roll back entire sections of turf, compared to just the small quarter sized holes created by skunks. If grubbing skunks are destroying the lawn that you put so much effort into keeping manicured give us a call.

Bats, Bats and more Bats

Well its that time of year, the bat calls are starting to come in. Here in western NY the average temp this time of year is in the mid 40's but on the occasional day that the temps go north of 50 bats that are living in the walls and attics of homes and business are starting to come to life. This is when we get the call. Now is a great time to get started on bat exclusions. All sealing can be done and one way doors, or check valves as they are commonly called can be installed. At this point in the year bats have not yet given birth and there is no risk of trapping any baby bats in the home. Once May 15th rolls around, one way doors are a no-no, because bats may have given birth and blocking a female bats re-entry into the home will cause the babies to die. After August 15th it will again be safe to install one way doors. In the mean time all other sealing can be done. Bats are very benefical to nature and are mother natures own pest control. They eat thousands of insects a night. While bats outdoors are great, nobody wants to share their home with them. If bats are making their home in your home, Cayuga Creek Nuisance Wildlife Removal can help, give us a call to schedule an inspection.
