Question 1

Why is it important to call a professional exterminator?

Accepted Answer

It is strongly recommended to call a professional exterminator for better results. In case of infestation, it is essential to find the source of the problem to proceed with effective and permanent extermination. Our exterminators determine the origin and cause of the infestation. It is crucial to ensure that the exterminator is up-to-date with new technologies and products and to inquire about the insecticides used and their effectiveness. Trust is also important, as an effective insecticide applied incorrectly will not yield the desired results. Extermination ProFaune uses the best insecticides on the market and our exterminators apply them rigorously, guaranteeing their work.

Question 2

What are the dangers associated with wildlife capture?

Accepted Answer

Attempting to capture wild animals yourself can be dangerous. You risk being sprayed by a skunk or bitten by animals like raccoons, squirrels, marmots, or even rats. It is best to trust professionals for safe wildlife capture and relocation.

Question 3

Are pigeons a health risk?

Accepted Answer

Yes, pigeon droppings can pose a health risk. Pigeons are associated with various diseases, including histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis, caused by fungi that grow in their droppings. Inhalation of spores during cleaning can lead to infection. Pigeons also harbor insects and mites that can infest buildings. They are carriers of pathogens for humans and domestic animals, such as salmonellosis, ornithosis, and toxoplasmosis.

What are the problems caused by squirrels?

Accepted Answer

Squirrels can cause significant material damage by entering attics and gnawing on electrical wires, which can lead to serious problems, including fires. They can also damage equipment at maple syrup operations. Squirrels are tenacious, intelligent, and do not give up easily.

Question 5

What are the problems caused by marmots?

Accepted Answer

Marmots are skilled tunnel diggers, which can cause heavy damage to residential properties. They can displace up to 250 kg of soil in a few days to build their burrows. Marmots attack gardens and flowerbeds and their tunnels can weaken building structures.

Question 6

What are the problems caused by skunks?

Accepted Answer

Skunks can be a nuisance to farmers and homeowners by entering garages, sheds, under houses, in cellars, chicken coops, and beehives. They dig holes under sheds and balconies, and on lawns to feed on white grubs. Their presence can result in urine, feces, debris, and sometimes dead animals. Skunks can also spray homes or buildings, causing strong, unpleasant odors that may require evacuation for a few days. While generally a nuisance, they can carry the rabies virus, posing a risk if pets come into contact with an infected skunk.
