bat season is here

Duncan Wildlife Control has been busy with many jobs as of late but bat season is upon us and we are working on some bat exclusion projects currently , here are some picture of an older stone house that another company had preformed a bat exclusion on 5-6 years ago as you can see spray foam insulation is not the proper material to use when it could be exposed to outside elements as the bats have reentered through the foam and the job needs done again , at Duncan wildlife control we try our best to provide permanent solutions to your wildlife problems and we use the best quality materials to achieve our goals

Victory over raccoon rabies - Tillsonburg News - Ontario, CA

rabies is a real issue still here in Ontario even with our mnr rabies program which is the best in the world i might add. One of the biggest factors in any animal disease spread is size of population , Raccoons living in areas which are overpopulated have disease spread much quicker than populations which are properly managed and aren't exceeding the carrying capacity of the land on which they live . Although some people disagree it's a fact that hunters and trappers harvesting the surplus raccoon from areas of overpopulation helps to manage these and helps to stop the spread of disease's such as rabies and distemper , With the current situation in the world economy the market for raccoon and other wild animal fur is faltering and it will keep many fur harvesters at home out of the field this season which could lead to overpopulation in the coming years and spread of these diseases again

Raptor Rescue

Well it's been another interesting weekend for me and duncan wildlife control as i was able to rescue an injured horned owl , I was driving down a local road when i seen an animal sitting on the road as i slowed to see what it was it turned out to be one of ontario's neatest and not often seen a horned owl , now it seemed quite strange an owl sitting on the road in daylight hours so i stooped and got out for a closer look upon getting closer the owl made no attempt to walk fly or even spread it's wings so i knew it must be injured iwas able to cover it with a blanket and using my heavy gloves and blanket i transfered it to a cage and proceeded to home and called our local conservation officer for some help on locating a rehab centre after contacting the bluewater raptor rehab centre i delivered the owl to their care , upon delivery the owl was examined and it was found that he was in advanced state of starvation the personal told me they were not sure at that time why he was in the shape he was in but it could be anything from wing injury's from a car collision to posioning or west nile , they are going to do the best they can but told me the owl had a very slim chance as the starvation was so far along but i'm sure they are going to do their best to try i will update on the owl as soon as they contact me with any news
