Pigeon Update

Remember that pigeon problem I posted concerning the pigeon trapping that was impossible? Well they finally called and gave me the OK to remove them manually by pellet gun. Every attempt and alternative was made and utilized but to no avail prior to this as we all care about animals. Our first night removed over 400 and the second night over 200 more. Now the workers can begin the clean-up process, and those who work there are no longer going to be worried about what they may be bringing home to their families on the bottom of their shoes after a day of work, or what they may be exposed to on a daily basis - breathing potentially infectious air is good for no-one.

It was a bad problem but it has been removed.

I did not charge enough for it but it was a learning experience for all!

Waking up this morning to read about Coyotes in Saint Tammany, I had to just shake my head. I think the author did an excellent job with the information he had but if talked to Wildlife and Fisheries why didn't they recommend a nuisance wildlife control company ? There are several companies licensed to do this type of work right here in new orleans and yet they didnt mention it? Sounds crazy, but my company "Parker Wildlife Control" can remove coyotes from saint tammany parish as well as anywhere else in the state of LA.

No we will not remove all of them, but by keeping the numbers down, other more beneficial wildlife will be able to come back, not to mention give the people of that area a little piece of mind when they are out walking their pets in the evenings.

Armadillo trapping in New Orleans

Trapping armadillos in New Orleans this year has certainly been fun! Trapping them isnt very easy and can be quite tricky even for an expert. I have trapped more armadillos out of LaPlace this year than any other area!
Why remove an armadillo? The answer is simple really especially if you have termites or a contract with a pest control company for termites. Any time you dig (or an armadillos digs!) around the foundation the area needs to be retreated as the barrier they have established is broken.
I have found no bait yet to work for them. I simply trap them using known trails they use and allow them to walk right in. Placing a trap in front of the hole can result in catching them faster too!
