Raccoons, squirrels, groundhogs, opossum, and fox are smart, curious, and highly adaptable critters — and they don't belong on your property!  As urban scavengers, these critters are often responsible for knocking over garbage cans, ruining gardens, and defecating around patios, decks and in backyards. If these critters get the chance, they might make their way into your warm attic, chimney or soffits, or even under your deck or shed to nest.  They would love to make your home their home.  

ASAP Critter People, Cincinnati’s wildlife removal experts, are here with some tips to keep unwanted critters away for your home or property.  

  • Remove Food:  You can sometimes discourage raccoons from hanging around or coming back by removing their food sources.  Remove or bring your pet bowls inside at night.  Limit how much bird seed you put out….your not just feeding the birds.  Keep garbage can lids on tight and keep them inside until garbage night, if possible.  
  • If you have a garden outside, you might install fencing around it to keep unwanted critters out.  Motion lights and noise deterrents have little or no effect on raccoons, squirrels, fox, or opossums.   
  • Trim Your Trees: Raccoons and squirrels can make nests just about anywhere, and often use more than one. Trim branches away from the home where possible to limit access critters may have to your roof.  Downspouts are another common way critters get to the roof.  
  • Be Aware:  If you know raccoons or squirrels are nesting in your attic or chimney, or groundhogs, skunks, or opossum are under your deck, porch or other outbuilding, be cautious.  Avoid getting close to wild animals. Wild animals can carry disease that can be transmitted to humans.  
  • Call An Animal Removal Service: The most effective way to get unwanted wildlife removed from your property is to trap and remove.  For prompt, professional and courteous service, call the ASAP Critter People.  Our trained professionals have the knowledge and experience to resolve your wildlife problem in a humane and timely manner.
