Mice are relentless. They will climb walls, walk across beams, swim through your sewer system simply to get into your home. The task of keeping mice out of your home is not a simple one. When a mouse is in search of food, warmth or a safe place they will do almost anything to achieve this. If you are having an issue with mice around your home, then contact Animal Control Specialists who can help remove the current rodents and prevent a return infestation. Mice can survive for 1 year to 18 months given the right environmental factors, and all the time multiplying in numbers.

All animals will die, this is an inevitable part of the cycle of life. Remember the animal that is living in your attic, chimney or crawlspace or under your stoop, shed or deck will eventually perish. When wildlife dies, it is usually discovered by the foul odor that is created by the gases produced by the decaying body. If the animal is not in plain sight, it can be challenging to locate the source of the smell. When a skunk dies, the resulting odor is a sour skunk smell that will last for weeks to months.

Chimneys provide a comfortable den site for some wildlife species, particularly raccoons and squirrels. In other cases chimneys act as a pitfall trap when animals fall into them and can't climb or fly out. For raccoons a chimney represents one of their natural den sites, a hollow tree. They are able to scale the inside of a smooth chimney flue up and down, backwards and forwards. Squirrels have been known to build nests in in flues. This will result in the blockage of the flow of smoke and combustion gasses.
