What is one wild creature that you notice on your property regularly? Do deer pay you visits and nibble on your trees? Are raccoons in and out of your trash bins every night? Maybe birds like sparrows, finches, and crows are a more common sight.

Whatever wild creatures you are used to seeing around your Nassau County property, our guess is that they cause trouble from time to time. If you are curious to know more about why wild creatures cause trouble on area properties or if you are looking for wildlife control methods to keep them off yours, here are some things you need to know.

Nassau County is filled with wild creatures. Many prefer to live away from civilization. Some species, however, find benefits in coming onto area properties. Some you should know about are bats, birds, skunks, deer, and raccoons. Most often these types of wildlife pests will invade properties looking for food, water, or shelter and can cause problems while seeking these things.

Some wildlife creatures are dangerous because of their ability to scratch or bite. The good news is that you are unlikely to be attacked by any wild creatures in our area unless you trap them or they are rabid. The real threat wildlife poses to people in our area comes in the form of diseases.

Pests like raccoons can spread diseases through their fecal droppings which they leave around homes and in areas they take shelter in such as porches, sheds, and basements. The same is true for birds and bats that regularly take shelter in attics.

Some common diseases you might contract from wild creatures in our area are rabies, bubonic plague, salmonellosis, staphylococcus, West Nile virus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, murine typhus, and rat-bite fever.

When wild creatures break onto properties, they do not always do so without breaking a few things. Raccoons damage siding and porches with their dexterous fingers to gain access to places to hide, and they knock over trash cans and tear screens when they need to. Deer knock over bird feeders and bend poles that hold up decorative plants. Birds defecate acidic fecal droppings on furniture, painted decks, and in other areas. These are only a few examples.

If your property regularly has trouble with wildlife pests and you have some time on your hands to do something about these animals, here are some great prevention tips that might help keep wild creatures out of your yard.

• Install a fence around your yard and garden. Make sure it extends underground at least one foot to stop pests like groundhogs.
• Pick up fruits, vegetables, and berries that drop into your yard.
• Clean up thoroughly after outdoor gatherings.
• Avoid feeding your pets outdoors.
• Repair damage to your home’s exterior that pests like rats, mice, birds, and bats might use to get indoors.
• Eliminate sources of water build-up around your property.
• Make sure your gutters are clean and are working properly.
• Fix leaky piping and fixtures in and around your home.
