Humane wildlife control and prevention, done right the first time.

Does it sound like your attic is the Interstate 44 expressway for wildlife?
Raccoon family in your attic or chimney? Squirrels in your attic? Bats in your belfry?
Skunk under your house? It can happen to anyone. Millions of dollars are spent each year
repairing wildlife damage not only in rural Oklahoma but in the urban and suburban Tulsa region too.
Newly built and old homes are both equally susceptible to wildlife entry.
Tulsa Raccoon, Squirrel, Bat, Skunk And Other Area Wildlife Concerns
Tulsa wildlife issues are unique as are all Oklahoma and regional nuisance wildlife management dilemmas.
Tulsa and surrounding areas like Broken Arrow, Owasso, Sapulpa and Jenks experience a plethora of wildlife problems
from a wide variety of critters including foxes, bats, raccoons and squirrels to name a few.
An Orphaned Baby Tulsa Raccoon

Raccoons: Nuisance wildlife like Tulsa area raccoons can
be quite the challenge to home owners, even in the urban areas of the city.
The Skunk Whisperer recently made international headlines when
he rescued two juvenile raccoons
from a Tulsa apartment complex.
Raccoons have their young, (called kits and cubs) in chimneys and attics in the spring and
can stay there until August or later if not remedied. These adorable masked bandits can pop
your attic roof vent off like a soda bottle cap, dismantle your roof, remove your chimney cap,
and be under your couch before you can bat an eye. Along with their young, they bring
lice and 80% of their feces carries roundworm.
Tulsa Area Flying Squirrel

Flying Squirrels:
Many are surprised to find that flying squirrels are a common problem in Tulsa attics.
They are frequently found in South Tulsa, around the Southern Hills
golf course at 61st and Lewis, and within the last few years have been experienced in the
Brookside area, Gilgrease museum, and some portions of North Tulsa. These
Tulsa squirrels are
problematic when it comes to trapping and keeping them out of your home forever via exclusion methods.
They can easily chew through cedar, which is why
The Skunk Whisperer won't do flying squirrel exclusions on cedar roof homes.

Bat Found In Tulsa Home

Bats:
When it comes to Tulsa area bats, the
Brown Bat species is the most common and they tend to be the ones found most often in
area attics. The Tulsa environment is also friendly to the Red Tree Bat,
but they are less likely to invade home attics than the Brown variety. Tulsa
neighborhood bat populations
vary by area depending upon the surroundings, for instance, they tend to be
quite prevelent in areas such as Mid-town where there are a lot of trees and a nearby water supply.
Squirrels A variety of types of squirrels in the area commonly make nests in trees and attics,
making Tulsa squirrel control a common mission for The Skunk Whisperer team.
While these are cute, amusing, fuzzy creatures to some, they are rats with fuzzy tails to others.
Be aware that squirrels do not know the difference between chewing the bark off of a tree and chewing
the insulation off of your electrical

wiring. Preventative measures should be taken immediately to head
off thousands of dollars of potential damage.
Gray squirrels are not as common in the Tulsa area but in Sand Springs, they are more plentiful.
Gray squirrels are commonly more aggressive and territorial then red squirrels found in Tulsa,
Broken Arrow, Bixby, Owasso, Jenks and Sapulpa attics. Gray Squirrels typically push out any
Red Squirrels in the Sand Springs area as they are much more aggressive and territorial.
Skunks, Foxes And Other Wildlife: There are many other kinds of wildlife found throughout urban Tulsa and surrounding
suburbs. Some areas have more of some types of critters than other places in the region.
For instance, armadillos in the Tulsa area are infrequent compared to armadillos in the Owasso area.
Most armadillo calls we receive are from Owasso.
Skunks are a typical problem in almost all of Tulsa, Jenks, the outskirts of Broken Arrow and Broken Arrow’s 71st and
Lynn Lane area. Sapulpa, Bixby, Owasso, Sand Springs, and Jenks all experience skunk issues as they are widely
spread and smelled in every part of Oklahoma. Foxes are also common throughout Tulsa and are seen often around the Arkansas
river area.
