1st Response Wildlife - Tucson's Humane Animal Trapping & Removal Services

Bats where they shouldn’t be? Call 1st Response Wildlife!

Summer in the Tucson, Green Valley, Oro Valley, Catalina, Saddlebrooke Ranch, Picture Rocks, and other areas of the Sonoran Desert is a time when bats by the 10's of thousands help reduce the insect population and keeps homeowners, visitors, and pets, pretty much protected from mosquitoes.  We are blessed to have over 2 dozen species of bats that help us in the summer.

In the evening, if you have the time to park and watch the area around major bridges-over-washes, you will see thousands of bats leave on their evening hunt.  If you are sitting on your patio or in your courtyard at dusk, you may also see a few or a group of bats suddenly drop from roof top hideaways and fly off to feed for the night.

Bats in and of themselves, avoid contact with people, pets, and major objects, using  sound to navigate and find their food. (Using a technique called echolocation-like ultrasound).  Unless a bat encounters netting, is sick, gets lost by inadvertently entering an open garage door, or is one of the species that feeds on grasshoppers, scorpions, centipedes, and crickets on the ground and gets stranded, one rarely sees a single bat isolated and/or away from a common roosting area.

Each summer, 1^st Response Wildlife receives calls about a single bat in a business, a home, or from a homeowner that has discovered significant amounts of droppings (guano) beneath a tiled roof,  Viga joints  (Heavy round timbers/beams that protrude through exterior walls of Santé Fe style homes), or the joints of a wall and exterior ceiling.  One of the reasons for calls is that it is pretty common knowledge that bats carry disease-of primary concern, rabies.  Since only a licensed Animal Trapper, a representative of Animal Control, or the Arizona Game and Fish Department should deal with bats, it is extremely important that a homeowner or business owner, have bats dealt with professionally.

1^st Response Wildlife has years of experience helping homeowners and businesses deal with bats.  In many cases, after an evaluation of the situation is completed, education on what the options are to deal with a bat issue is all that is needed.  If, however, there is a lone bat in a business or home, or if a homeowner has a significant guano problem, then 1^st Response Wildlife has equipment, materials, and techniques that can help remove a single bat and/or encourage a family of bats to find another place to call home.

Pictured below are a few examples of activity where a business or homeowner worked with 1^st Response Wildlife to deal with bat problems. (It should be noted that one method bats use to get into small cracks or openings in homes or businesses is to land on a wall and then, using what amounts to small finger nails on the tips of their wings, they will crawl up a wall and squeeze into an opening that, to a homeowner, looks impossible for anything to be able to access.)

Here are a couple of examples where a homeowner had enough bat guano that they wanted to have their family of bats find elsewhere to roost.

 

Here is an entry point bats were using at the joint where the Viga meets the wall in a Santé Fe style home (Note the flashlight.  Peering deep into the entrance, I could see a family of bats roosting.)

 

Here is a single bat in a business that found its way into the business overnight and the employees found it the next morning.

 

Here is a close up of that bat (Medium sized) in a transfer container

If you encounter a bat in your home, business, see a bat on the ground in the daytime; please remember it is best not to touch it!  Since bats do carry diseases, primary among them being rabies, make sure you get your pets vaccinated regularly and, for goodness sake, keep any children or others from touching or picking one up.  Rabies can be spread by saliva, not just from a bite.  Remember, many of the bats we have here in the summer have extremely small mouths and may not be able to actually open their mouth wide enough to bite a medium or larger animal, or even an adult finger.  However, if a child, person, or an animal finds a sick bat and handles or plays with it, the saliva can be transferred and cause serious problems.  In the case of a pet, particularly one that has not been vaccinated for rabies, the saliva from the pet’s mouth can mix with that of the bat and rabies can be transmitted even more easily. Rabies can be deadly to humans and animals, so bats are not to be taken lightly!

Please call 1^st Response Wildlife if you have bats that you find in your home or business, guano under eaves or overhanging roof tiles or Viga.

Animal Education, Animal Capture, Animal Trapping, Animal Rescue, Animal Relocation-1st Response Wildlife Does It All!

Southern Arizona, the Sonoran Desert, and greater Tucson are homes to a number of wild animals.  Many are beautiful, when observed in the wild, but can be a threat to small pets, children, and a nuisance to a business or residence.  The Arizona Game and Fish Department has very clear guidelines for approaching situations where an animal or reptile is observed on and around property.  Whenever possible, the protocol is to observe, accommodate, film, and appreciate our wildlife-but not disturb.

However, if you, as a homeowner, a business owner, a Property Management Company, or a renter, feel that an animal, reptile, or even a dog has become destructive, a nuisance, or a threat to yourself, your family, or a pet, please consider giving 1^st Response Wildlife a call to discuss your options.

The general rule of thumb, 1^st Response Wildlife follows, is to first listen, understand, and investigate a concern.  Information and education about a particular animal may be all that is necessary to put one’s mind at ease.  However, if an animal or reptile turns out to be an orphan, is living too close to a home, burrowing under sheds, decks, and/or is destructive or threatening in nature, then a plan of action which often includes an open free style capture, trapping the animal, or even rescuing it, may be the best response.  In most cases, nuisance animals, reptiles, and birds, will be relocated to a safe but distant location from where they were captured. (Birds, rescued/retrieved from a chimney, often will be released immediately, in the area where they were captured-after the chimney/entry point has been sealed up, to ensure they remain in their home area but do not venture back down into an open-ended chimney stack.)

The list of animals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds which 1^st Response Wildlife works with customers to better understand and direct the recommended plan of action, is quite extensive.  With the exception of protected species and those which need special one-time permits from Arizona Game and Fish Department to remove and relocate, services available to homeowners, businesses, Property Management Companies, and renters include Education, Capture, Trapping, Rescuing, Relocation, and seminars about:

Animals and Reptiles of Arizona, Bobcats, Raccoons, Ringtails, Coatimundi, Foxes, Skunks, Squirrels, Pack Rats, Harris’ Antelope Squirrels, Kangaroo Rats, Rabbits, Gophers, Round Tailed Ground Squirrels, Lizards-exotic and regional, Colorado River Toads (aka Sonoran Desert Toad) Tortoises, Bats, Gila Monsters, Owls, Buzzards, Ducks, Hawks, Rattlesnakes-any species, Gopher Snakes, King Snakes, Night Snakes, Long Nosed Snakes, exotic snakes (which may have been released), Coyotes, Dogs, other former pets-Peacocks, Iguana, etc..  Special permits can be obtained by a homeowner or business for specific bird and animal removal or deterrents, but it is best to check with 1^st Response Wildlife and AZGFD for larger animals, such as Javelina, Puma, Bears, Badgers, etc.

Part of the service 1^st Response Wildlife offers, in addition to its primary work directly with animals, is giving seminars on reptiles or animals in Arizona, as well as helping homeowners, businesses, and Property Management Organizations better understand how to live with our diverse population of animals and reptiles.  Frequent discussions about how to snake-proof your home, how to keep rock squirrels, mice, and skunks from returning to your property, and in-depth property and building inspections to point out and close up points of entry for unwanted “guests,” is a key part of "a day on-the-job" for 1^st Response Wildlife.

If you have small children, animals or feel that animals, reptiles, or birds, native to the area should not be living as close to your family or business as they are currently, please give 1^st Response Wildlife a call to discuss safe and humane ways to work to potentially relocate them.

Marana’s Founders’ Day Visitors Enjoy Seeing Native Reptiles

March 7^th, Marana’s Heritage Conservancy celebrated its 36^th annual Founders’ Day celebration at Ora Mae Harn Park, 13250 N. Lon Adams Road in Marana.  1^st Response Wildlife had a booth at the park where it exhibited 7 rattlesnakes, two non venomous snakes, a Gila monster and 1^st Response Reptile and Animals of the Sonoran Desert Guide Books for visitors to see.

1^st Response Wildlife’s booth was located in the “kids,” section of the exhibits, nestled between the Martial Arts/Gym exhibits, in front of the climbing wall and next to the snow cone booth.  Families, couples, Firemen, Policemen, and other interested parties took time to view the rattlers in their locked displays, page through the Guide Book's pictures, ask questions and, for those more adventuresome, hold and get their picture taken with one of the non-venomous snakes.

1^st Response Wildlife brought representative examples of 7 of the rattlers, native to Arizona some of which, however, are not found in the immediate area surrounding Tucson or Marana.  The fact that visitors could view and ask about the various reptiles from different parts of Arizona made it more interesting than just seeing the common varieties to the immediate area.  In addition, since 1^st Response Wildlife is in the business of trapping and relocating nuisance animals, as well as reptiles, lizards, and exotics, many visitors commented on finding value in being able to page through the 1^st Response Wildlife Animal Guide Book, which have pictures of a majority of the animals common to Arizona, some not seen either in the area, or rarely seen at all because they are primarily nocturnal.

The exhibit below had the following on display: Venomous snakes-Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Arizona Black Rattlesnake, Speckled Rattlesnake, Sidewinder Rattlesnake, Black Tail Rattlesnake, Mojave Rattlesnake, and Tiger Rattlesnake.  Venomous Lizard-Gila Monster. Non-venomous-Northern Mountain King Snake and Gopher snake. (Note the venomous snakes have locks on the displays, but to the right, in the front, is a simple glass enclosure with the Gopher snake in it that is secure, but not locked.  This is because this particular Gopher snake is one of the “education,” reptiles and has proven to be gentle. In the back left of the exhibit, you can see the 1st Response Wildlife Guide Books on the table.)

 

 

Several children and some adults asked and were allowed to experience holding and taking pictures with one or more of the non-venomous Gopher and Northern Mountain King Snakes.  These snakes remained friendly and provided visitors with an experience of getting up close to a reptile without fear.  Here we see an adult getting a chance to handle a gopher snake.  The following picture is of a child getting to know a gopher snake.

 

 

All in all, it was a good, but long day for visitors and, certainly there were a number of children who expressed interest in reading this blog to find out more details on reptiles and animals of the Sonoran Desert.

If you have any nuisance animals, reptiles, or even exotics that you find on your property and would like help in understanding what can be done to discourage them, or would like to have them removed, please do not hesitate to give 1^st Response Wildlife a call.

When Things Go From Bat-To-Worse, Call 1st Response Wildlife

Bats, here in the Sonoran Desert, provide a great service.  They eat mosquitoes, flying insects, and some even go-to-ground and capture centipedes and scorpions.  Bats roost by the 10s of thousands under several of the bridges here in Tucson.  In fact, recently, until it caused too much congestion, docents from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum were present in the evenings at one or two of those bridges to explain, to interested families who stopped by at dusk, just how beneficial bats were to our environment.  The number of those interested, however, became too much for the available parking and now, if you still want to stop by at dusk, you can see the thousands and thousands of bats almost form a cloud as they darken the sky on their way to hunt for food, but without a knowledgeable docent to identify the type of bats you are seeing and educate you on their life and feeding habits.  Your alternative, of course, is to take your family to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and engage one of the docents in conversation. (I am sure they would be happy to give you the same information.)

We are blessed to have over a dozen kinds of bats here in the Sonoran Desert and as stated, they provide a great service, keeping the insect population-especially mosquitoes, in check.  However, as the title of this blog suggests, sometimes things, in regards to bats, can “go from Bat (play on words) to Worse.”  This can happen when bats decide to take up residence around a home or business in large numbers.  When this happens, once they have set up residence, their guano and urine begin to imprint that area and it becomes a magnet for other bats, a home for the current population and it can create a real nuisance.

1^st Response Wildlife has a lot of experience in helping businesses and home owners with their bat issues.  (A previous blog discussed the potential for diseases bats carry and/or spread-rabies, etc.) Techniques for removal, challenging their return after a night of hunting, and encouraging them to choose somewhere else to roost is offered as a routine service.  Sealing points-of-entry and educating the business or homeowner in things that can be done to keep bats from returning are also part of the service that 1^st Response Wildlife provides.

Some homeowners, businesses, and even environmental agencies choose to accommodate bats in their area by providing bat houses, strategically placed to attract and house bats.  Below is an example of a bat house placed by the environmental agency responsible for one of the sanctuaries in Cochise County.  Bat houses are common in environs where temperatures are not as consistently hot as those in the Sonoran Desert and, if you like to have bats around and want to have a bat structure away from your home or business; it would be wise to research both construction and placement before, perhaps, buying one on the internet.

 

Bats can enter through very small spaces and, while you probably cannot see them sleeping in those areas in the daytime, tell-tale droppings (guano) will alert you to their presence.  Again, if there are only a few bats, their benefit to reducing mosquito and insect population may offset any issues they may cause.  However, when you get a family that grows to nuisance size, it is probably time to give 1^st Response Wildlife a call to come and help you encourage your bat family to move elsewhere.  Below are two pictures.  The first shows where the wall of a home meets the roof line as an example of how small an opening a bat needs to land and crawl up out of sight for its place to spend the day sleeping. 

 

The second picture shows significant bat droppings (guano) that has alerted the homeowner that they have more than a few bats living up under the eaves and it is time to call 1^st Response Wildlife.

Pictured below is a Pallid bat with a centipede followed by a Pallid bat with a green cricket (courtesy of

http://www.animalseatinganimals.com/2011/08/what-do-bats-eat.html).

 

Pallid bats are one of the few bats that choose to land, rather than chase and capture insects in flight.  While they capture scorpions, crickets, grasshoppers, centipedes and other types of insectc-and the occasional lizard, on the ground, they will take their prey to a spot in a bush or tree to consume it. 

In addition to the Pallid bat, shown above, and the Mexican Free-Tail bat pictured in a previous blog, 1^st Response Wildlife has been called to help home owners and businesses identify and deal with several other types of bats.  The one that has been the most fascinating this summer, however, has been the Townsend’s Big-Eared Bat, pictured below.  Their most distinctive appendage is their large ears. 

 

If you find that you have a bat loose in your home or business, suspect they have found a way into your attic, notice excessive droppings under the eaves of your home or business, or observe an inordinate number of bats leaving and returning at dusk and dawn and would like to discourage them from using your property or business as their summer home, please give 1^st Response Wildlife a call.

Bat Humane Removal & Relocation

Greater Tucson is permanent home to several bat species and a temporary home for others which move to warmer climate as winter approaches.  There are more species of these little flying mammals in Arizona than almost any other state. Overall, there are over two dozen species of bats that make their home here! Using echolocation to find their targets, most of them are significant consumers of insects and, as such, are extremely valuable.  Some bats focus on nectar and my customers find that these little guys often delight in draining humming bird feeders over night in the summer.

While bats have a bad reputation for being a carrier of rabies, for the most part, the 10’s of thousands of bats overnighting under bridges, in caves and spending time under home and business eaves are major contributors to controlling mosquito,moth, and other insect populations.

Most of the calls to 1^st Response Wildlife are in response customer’s queries regarding how to get rid of bats, how to get bats to live around their property, requests to get bats out of their attic, or from folks who see what they think is bat guano on patios, walkways, or below overhangs. 

If I have a customer who wants to rid their property of overnight bats nesting under their eaves, I use professional means which does not harm the bats, but encourages them to choose other locations for their daytime sleeping areas.  If I am called to remove bats from attics, crawl spaces, or around a home or business, after I carefully capture them, I release them in areas where there are other bat colonies. 

Bats are known to carry rabies so a bat on the ground either injured, angry, or just unable to launch itself into flight can be a concern.  I use Kevlar gloves to handle these little guys and, after inspection, transfer them to either a rehabilitation site, if they are injured or to Animal Control if I suspect they may be a carrier.    

Since there are 28 species of bats which can be found in Arizona and because all bat species are protected, care must be taken to understand, identify, and be aware of both their value as well as what regulations protect and cover their management.  One of the best compendiums of information regarding bats in Arizona can be found on the Arizona Game and Fish web site.  It describes and details most of what you should know about our bats.  http://www.azgfd.gov/w_c/urban_bats.shtml

If you have unwanted bats in your home or business, in your attic, under your eaves, suspect you have bats and would like them to roost elsewhere, give 1^st Response Wildlife a call and I will humanely help you discourage them from your property, if that is what you wish, and/or capture and relocate them.

Thanks, Wildman Josh :)

Arizona Game and Fish Urban Wildlife & 1st Response Wildlife

AZ Game and Fish Urban Wildlife

I believe one of the most important parts of my responsibilities as a licensed humane trapper and relocation expert of animals, reptiles and birds of the Sonoran Desert, is helping my customers understand the rich mix of animals, reptiles and birds we enjoy.  I do not automatically hurry to capture and remove animals that are not injured or sick without talking to my clients about their individual situation and what they are experiencing with some animal that is found in and around their business or home.

Working closely with the Arizona Game and Fish Department, I carefully consider and discuss what is occurring and then, with my clients discuss the principles that the state of Arizona has in place to deal with an animal or reptile.  In many cases, a business owner or home owner can, with a little education, learn how to either live with, accommodate, or discourage an animal from being a nuisance and, one of the best resources I use is to refer them to the Arizona Game and Fish Urban Wildlife web pages, where there are extensive videos, discussions and suggestions concerning the wildlife in Arizona. 

This website, http://www.azgfd.com/w_c/urban_wildlife.shtml represents a great compendium of information and also represents the commitment that Arizona has to helping you co-exist with the animals we find here.  Along with my blog, I find that my clients are more comfortable with my approach, suggestions and, if I really do need to remove, relocate, or capture and take an animal or reptile to a rehabilitation center, everyone involved, including the critters, have a better outcome.

I communicate with Arizona Game and Fish on a regular basis and, in fact, their regulations in managing wildlife require that I keep them informed about my work as well as report and seek counsel on an ongoing basis so they can better understand what I see happening with wildlife, where it is happening, and how our wildlife management can be improved.

For more information about my approach to helping you with your wildlife questions, nuisance animals, or injured or sick critters, rattlesnakes, and bats, feel free to contact 1^st Response Wildlife, www.1stResponseWildlife.com, or my cell at 520-260-9517.  If you want to read more in-depth explanations and descriptions of our extensive animal and reptile population and find ideas on how you can co-exist with them, you will find that the Urban Wildlife section of the Arizona Game and Fish website, above, is an excellent resource.

Tucson Humane Wildlife Animal Trapping & Removal

Hi, my name is Josh Waling and I have loved animals since the day I was born. I live in the heart of the Sonoran Desert-Tucson, Arizona, which is one of the most unique places in the world. We have as much indigenous wildlife as the Peruvian and Amazon jungles. I have been catching and handling exotic reptiles for over 25 years. I've been humanely trapping nuisance wildlife here in the Sonoran Desert for 10+ years and I love my job. I get to help sick, injured or orphaned animals find their way back to the wild. I also like to educate the public about our animals here in the Sonoran Desert to help both people and wildlife live together harmoniously. My passion is reptiles, but I have found a love for working with all animals including bobcats, skunks, rattlesnakes, coyotes, ringtails, raccoons, coatimundi, badgers, javelina, and even domestic dogs. So, I hope everyone will enjoy following my adventures. Check out the posts, videos and pictures below to see what I've been up to lately. :) Since I have a GoPro head mounted camera, and a number of field cameras that capture photos and video day or night, if there are any animals or reptiles you would like to see that I haven't posted, feel free to email me.

 Give me a call if you need help with any animals that may have found their way onto your property and need to find a way back to their home, ask for an education session or just call for information on animals you would like to know more about. I would be happy to chat with you and, if you need my services, I will be there in a timely and professional fashion to remove them from your home and help them find their way back to either nature or a proper rehab facility. Thanks!
