Porcupine Control and Animal Control

If you have porcupines affecting your home, business, or exterior property you have come to the right place for professional help. We are professional porcupine trappers or wildlife control technicians. Our main line of work is to remove porcupines that effect man made structures and surrounding trees, and bushes. Some examples are: Female porcupines that den up in a culvert or woodpile to raise their young. A porcupine may enter a property, damaging trees or bushes as it feeds off of tree bark, leaves, and brush. When household pets such as dogs attack a porcupine, the porcupine will defend itself by injecting dog with their sharp quills, which can result in infection to the dogs’ sinuses and mouth. Porcupines will dig under a porch or a patio to bare their young, and sometimes die causing tremendous odor problems and contaminating the inside of a building. We use the most current porcupine trapping, cleanup, and control methods. If you have a porcupine problem, contact us or give us a call to schedule professional coaching or our porcupine removal services.

Porcupine Identification and Description

Known for its coat of sharp spines, porcupines use their quills as a defense from predators. One porcupine can have as many as 30,000 quills. After the capybara and the mara, the porcupine is the third largest rodent, adults sometimes reaching 30 inches long and up to 30 pounds.

Diet and Food Tendencies

Porcupines eat inner tree bark, herbaceous plants, twigs, and leaves, and seem to prefer aspen, cottonwood, ponderosa pine, and willow. Smooth bark seems to be more appealing than tress with thicker rough bark.

Damage Possibilities

Financial losses from porcupine feedings can be extensive. Damaging to forest plantings, decorative shrubs, and orchards as well as on leather and other human implements. These animals can cause additional damage resulting from their taste for wood, and have been known to eat wooden tool handles, porch furniture, wooden oars and even sheds and barns.

Since they are nocturnal creatures, often the damage that porcupines do to areas is attributed instead to deer and rabbits. Often porcupines go completely undetected.

When porcupines have been identified as a pest control problem on your property, removal can be difficult, and discouraging them from returning could prove even harder. Professionals in your area that specialize in the extraction of animals such as these can help you to control the animal's population and assure that they won't come back.
