Virginia Beach wildlife control tip of the month:

Groundhog Repellent

Anyone claiming that there is an effective Virginia Beach animal control digging rodent repellent is lying to you. Moth balls, predator urine (fox or coyote) and castor oil are just some things people tried to use. Castor oil could do the trick, it makes insects and worms taste bad, but the problem is you have to use a lot of it. That’s why it is not practical. There are also products like ultrasonic sound emitters to repel pests. Thing is, they are a fraud. There are no scientific evidence this things work. If you are using deterrents, they mostly contain predators scent, but the problem in south countries of the United States is that digging rodents do not have natural predators there. Moth balls are a Virginia Beach pest control problem because they are poisonous, and it was not proven that they do repel digging rodents.

If you think about it, you are placing poison in your garden, on the plants you eat, or if you place it in your yard, you can harm your pets or children. Some Virginia Beach wildlife removal companies offer nonpoisonous, natural repellents, but they never proved to be effective. Noise repellents are very illogical. For one thing, digging rodents have a very weak sense of hearing and they almost entirely rely on sense of smell to move and look for food. Why believe those will help? People will do anything for money, and selling bogus products to naïve people is something they like to do. One should rely on logic in those manners, and studying an animal you are trying to catch or get rid of is a good start.

Whether it is a natural solution or a Virginia Beach exterminator chemical one, there is definitely no evidence to support any kind of repellents. Some people have even poured liters and liters of bleach or moth balls into their burrows and digging rodents did not move one inch. There are also motion detectors that spray water if they are activated by movement. Sure, you can try that also, but the thing is digging rodent will just find another way to get to where it wants. Not to mention that those things are very expensive. You should always check other people’s Virginia Beach animal trapping experiences before trying anything like that or before buying any kind of “miraculous” products. There are forums on the Internet today where you can check it out. The best thing to do would be to trap an digging rodent, or call a local wildlife expert who will help you get rid of them.
