How good is pest control solutions?

Hey friends, you might have come across many situations where animals become a real nuisance. I am having a hard time with skunks in my garden. My plants are regularly destroyed by skunks However I don't wanna use pesticides against pest attacks. Because pesticides will badly affect us and our nature. Moreover, I strongly believe that animals are also part of our ecosystem and they have the right to live on the earth. So, if they are a real nuisance, we should remove them without affecting their life. And one of my friends told me about an animal control service firm that provides pest control solutions in Kitchener. And from what he said, they will eliminate pests from your field without hurting them. So I think I should go for it. What do you guys think? Please share your views on this.

    If your seeing these skunks during the daytime be careful. They can carry rabies and spread diseases to pets. These animals are part of our ecosystem but remember If your seeing large numbers of these animals then that can be a problem. They are typically solitary nocturnal creatures and seeing many can become a concern that the animal may be diseased. In this case they should be put down humanely instead of suffering and spreading disease.

    If you have a catch and release pest service I would use them for this. They typically release them well away from neighborhoods and back to the wild. And the chance of you getting sprayed by one of these creatures has severely dropped. The only other thing to try is natural repellents but these can get washed away with rain and fade or just not work that well.

    The skunks obviously found a great food source. They eat grubs, crickets, mice, etc. You can fence in your garden with some inexpensive chicken wire and posts. Dig a trench about six inches deep to bury a portion of the wire to discourage digging under. Make sure it is at least three feet tall. Or, just call the humane critter relocation service😊
