Tennessee Bat Facts
Bats are very beneficial to the environment and Tennessee is home to many species. Tennessee’s bats are divided into two main groupings based on lifestyle. “Cave bats” spend their winters hibernating in caves, and often form colonies to roost and raise their young in the summer. Colonies can be found in hollow trees, or buildings and other man-made structures. “Tree bats” are generally more solitary in nature, roost under pieces of bark alone or in small groups, and spend their time foraging in the upper canopy levels of the forest. All these things make tree bats difficult to study. They have been known to migrate long distances during the spring and fall. The most common bats found in buildings throughout Tennessee are the Little Brown Bats.
This common house bat is often found in buildings, homes, attics that are near waterways. This is where they forage for mosquitos. A bat can consume 600 mosquitos an hour. This makes them very valuable to have as a neighbor, just not as a roommate!
Common places for bats to form colonies in manmade structures are in attics, under eaves, siding, and shingles. If you discover you have a bat problem call our Bat Experts of Animal Pros today, we have solutions to all types of bat situations within Tennessee.
Tennessee Snake Facts
Tennessee is home to over a dozen snake species with two of these species being venomous. Venomous snakes, the copperhead and the timber rattlesnake are both considered pit vipers. The common garter snake is considered mildly venomous. There are a dozen or more other snakes in Tennessee, generally considered to be clinically nonvenomous.
The first normal reaction to a snake encounter is to kill it, but the fact is snakes are a beneficial part of our ecosystem. These reptiles are an important factor in controlling mice and rat populations, in addition to being a good food source for Hawks and other larger predators.
Snake populations have been decreasing throughout Tennessee and other states. It is believed this decrease is related to snake collection for hides, snake killings, and habitat destruction. While killing snakes is not a permitted activity, they can be taken when classified as a nuisance species. If you discover a snake in the home contact us Wildlife Pros to have it Safely and Humanely removed.
Tennessee Gray Squirrel Facts
The types of squirrels found in Tennessee are the Grey squirrel, Fox squirrel, Red squirrel, Pine squirrel, Chickaree, and Piney. The Eastern Gray tree squirrel is the most common. These squirrels have bushy tails with black-brown and white fur. Which, when viewed from afar makes them look gray. These rodent animals are about 16-20 inches in length and can weigh up over a pound.
Squirrels can be seen in urban, suburban, and rural areas as well as forests. Squirrels prefer to den high off the ground. This is why they take advantage of attics and buildings for denning. Squirrels breed twice a year normally from December to February and May to June. This winter mating season is when you see the most problems with squirrels in attics because they are looking for that warm, safe place to birth and raise their young.
Common sounds heard with squirrels in attics and walls are scratching noises. Most often heard in the morning and evening times, during the day these pests are out foraging for food. If you suspect a squirrel in your attic, chimney, or walls give us a call today to solve your squirrel problem!
Tennessee Raccoon Facts
Raccoons commonly referred to as “coons” inhabit all of Tennessee and throughout most of the US. These mammals can weigh upwards of 30 lbs with a length of 3 feet. They are grizzled black, white, and gray with what looks like a black mask over its eyes. They commonly den in hollow trees and ground burrows. Although in urban and suburban areas is it common for raccoons to live in chimneys, attics, and inside other high manmade structures.
Raccoons are omnivorous mammals that eat both plants and animals. In urban areas, they will commonly prey on pet dishes and garbage. These pests can be a nuisance for homeowners because of the extensive damage they can create. The most extensive damage happens when they tear off shingles and fascia boards in order to access an attic. Then they create more damage by contaminating a home’s insulation and compromising the homes’ R-Factor. The R-Factor decreases the home’s heating and cooling efficiency. This happens from the raccoon smashing the insulation. We have solutions to all types of Raccoon Problems throughout Tennessee.
Tennessee Skunk Facts
The Striped Skunk is found throughout Tennessee and is a member of the weasel family. Its appearance is similar to the common house cat and can weigh up to 8 lbs. Its common characteristic is its jet black fur with two lateral white stripes that run down its back from its head to the tip of its tail. The striped skunk species is common throughout the U.S. Skunks commonly will live under structures within urban areas. Skunks commonly feed on small mammals, insects, grub worms, and plants.
Skunks become a nuisance when their denning and feeding habits coincide with humans. When their food source becomes scarce they will get into garbage, pet food dishes, and dig holes in lawns in search of food. If you are having problems with skunks contact us today.
Tennessee Opossum Facts
Opossums are commonly found throughout Tennessee and the Eastern United States. Opossums are commonly referred to as “Possums”. These mammals are the size of an average house cat and can weigh up to 14 lbs.
Possums are grayish, white in color with a rat-like tail. Opossums should never be attempted to be handled without proper training and knowledge. These animals have 50 sharp teeth with prominent canine teeth that can cause serious injury.
They will take the opportunity to den in burrows, brush piles, garages and attics. These nuisance pests eat animals, insects, and vegetables. In suburban areas, they will frequently visit garbage cans, bird feeders, and pet food dishes.
The biggest concern with possums in Tennessee is that they will den under homes structures and are a carrier of fleas. If one is discovered under a deck contact us today to get rid of and remove it safely and humanely.
