Sterling Heights wildlife issues:

When removing unwanted wildlife in this manner, I do not look for nuisance wildlife, but watch for anything that seems to be unusual or out of place. By doing this, I see many things, as well as an occasional nuisance Sterling Heights wildlife. Motion, of course, is the first thing which attracts the eye, but motion in the suburban neighborhood doesn’t always indicate a conflict animal. I do not know of any place where nuisance wildlife so outnumber other animals that a person could expect all motion to be that of nuisance wildlife. Squirrels, rabbits, foxes, minks, weasels, grouse and other birds and animals will attract the eye, so I have always had a slight feeling of surprise when motion in the suburban neighborhood turns out to be a conflict animal.

Nobody should have any trouble in identifying the motion of a conflict animal which is startled and leaving the area in a rush with an upraised flag, but the one that tries to sneak up, or stands undecided, is a different matter. These nuisance wildlife may appear to be something other than nuisance wildlife and must be positively identified before it is safe to capture. Sometimes motion that is thought to be something else turns out to be a conflict Sterling Heights animal, and in such cases the person who can see well will benefit by having a good removing unwanted wildlife vision. In one case, I was able to capture a conflict animal that I thought was a squirrel when I first saw the motion. I located the object that had attracted my attention, apparently on a branch of a blow-down. While waiting for it to move again, for positive identification, I noticed what seemed to be a knothole a few inches below the object that had moved in the first place. There was no tree where the knothole seemed to be. Suspecting that I might be looking at a conflict animal's ear and eye, I took one step forward and the other ear and eye could be plainly seen.

The rest of the pest critter's body was completely concealed from view by the blow-down. That nuisance wildlife had seen me, but thought it was concealed enough so that I would pass by without noticing it. Nuisance wildlife do this more often than many might realize, but they can usually tell just when the nuisance Sterling Heights wildlife control professional becomes aware of their presence and nearly always will run as soon as they were seen instead of staying around to see what will happen, as this nuisance wildlife did. If that nuisance wildlife hadn't moved its ear when it did, I would have, in all probability, walked on past unaware that there was a conflict animal watching me and it would have lived. Nuisance wildlife do not need to be behind e blow-down in order to be hidden. I have seen feeding nuisance Sterling Heights wildlife vanish temporarily while in an open field where their color blended with that of the dead grass in the background.
