Common Animals In The Spotsylvania County, Virginia Area: The climate in this area is conducive to large populations of all types of wildlife including rodents, squirrels, mice, and rats and others. Often Raccoons will try to make their homes in residential or business attics. Raccoons and squirrels can be a serious problem in this area. Opossums are a common sight in backyards, and armadillos can destroy gardens and landscaping in very little time. Even moles have become a serious problem in lawns. If any of these animals get into your lawn or attic, they can cause tremendous damage including fires by chewing on wiring, as well as create horrible odors due to feces and urine. Snakes can also be a problem, particularly where young children and pets play. In some areas Beavers and Nutria cause serious damage. In other areas you may find problems with non-migratory Ducks and Muscovy Ducks making a mess on sidewalks, driveways, and landscaping. In some parts of the country flying squirrels have become the number one pest.

Since the time that Africanized or "Killer" bees have made their way into the southern portions of the United Missouris, they have become a serious problem when they nest in wall voids in your home. Coyotes have become numerous in many urban and suburban areas posing a danger to pets and young children.

Skunks are nocturnal. If you see a skunk during the day, it is probably sick. Don't go near it. Call a professional in wildlife trapping and removal to solve this problem quickly and efficiently.

Bats are numerous in the area and do a lot of good eating by insects, especially mosquitoes, but when they nest in your home attic or business they can be a nightmare. In addition, bats are one of the major carriers of Rabies. They must be excluded from the areas where they are nesting and often insulation may need to be replaced due to contamination from their feces or guano. Sometimes animals will die in an attic or wall void and need to be removed due to the horrible odors as well as the attraction of flies, insects, and other parasites.

Birds nesting in attics can lead to mite problems inside the home. Pigeons and other birds in shopping centers and office buildings can actually create a health hazard due to the large number of droppings. Even birds such as sparrows and vultures are becoming a nuisance. Droppings on sidewalks can cause staff or customers to slip and fall creating liability for the owner of the property.
