Bats
Trapping is the most effective way to control moles. Damage range from shallow tunnels and raised trails in the lawn to mounds of dirt from deep tunnels. Moles are not a rodent and are related to shrews and bats. Nether the eyes or ears are visible and are concealed by fur. The front feet are very large, wider than they are long. The back feet are small and slender with sharp claws. Males are larger than females. Average total length (with tail) is 7 inches. Females average length is 6 5/8 inches. The experts say there are up to three to five moles per acre. I’ve personally removed 96 moles in one season from two acres. Nesting area is five to eight inches below the surface and about the size of a quart jar. Moles consume food equal to their body weight and more. They don’t hibernate and are active all year. They average 3 to 5 young born in March and early April. Trapping is the best method of control.
Moles
Raccoons
A raccoon in the attic sounds like heavy walking, moving furniture or scratching,. They will also raid a bird feeder at night or a pet dish. A male raccoon home territory can range from 3 to 20 square miles. A female ranges from 1 to 6 square miles. A raccoon will access your roof or chimney from the trees close to the house, the downspouts or masonry on a chimney. Some people believe that by blocking them out of a structure they will leave. That is not necessary true, if they want in or out, they will dig through the shingles, plywood and rafters to get in or out. A raccoon will also dig in your yard looking for grubs, just like a skunk would. This digging appears to look like your yard being thatched or tilled. Raccoons will eat both meat and plants. Will mainly breed in February or March and babies will be born in born April or May. Raccoons only have one litter per year and average three to five young. Young are weaned at 2 to 4 months old. Raccoons will make their birthing home in attics, soffits, chimneys, under decks, in any type of out buildings or garages. Baby raccoons will make a chattering noise when calling for their mother.
Snakes
They are a single color of grey to black. There can be anywhere and to 2 to 70 shrews per acre. Their life span is one to two years. The main diet of a shrew is insects, small birds, mice and snakes. They consume three times their body weight every 24 hours. Baiting and trapping are the best method of control.
Opossums
Opossums are a white or gray color and have a rat like tail. They average 4 pounds in weight (can be as much as 14 pounds). The can be found under decks, in window wells, sheds, garages or vacant woodchuck holes. Usually live alone and average a home range of 50 acres. They are mostly nocturnal. An opossum mates and the babies are born after 13 days and move into the pouch where they remain for 7 to 8 weeks. Opossum have an average of six to eight young but can have up to 16 young.
Muskrats
Coyotes
Badgers
Weasels

Birds
Woodpeckers
Starlings
The most troublesome birds can be starlings. They nest in exhaust and dryer vents on houses resulting in plugged vents. Nesting material can plug a vent for 6 feet or more. After removing nesting material it is best to screen these vents from further birds nesting. The feces from birds perching can be annoying and hazardous to your health. Bird netting can be installed in troublesome areas to prevent birds from perching.

Rodents
There are red and grey fox. Red fox can be found in residential areas. A grey fox is usually found in woodlots and swamps. A red fox will den under decks and outbuildings. Neither pose a threat to humans in my opinion. They do control the population of rodents, rabbits and woodchucks. Trapping is the best method of control.
Mice
Rats
A rat is mostly nocturnal. Color of a rat can be about any color. You can find rats mostly around livestock pens where feed is present. They also can be found under buildings and decks and seldom travel more than 100 to 150 foot diameter. Trapping is most effective way to control rats. They average six to 12 young.
Squirrels
A noise in the house may be a squirrel. The noise occurs often in early evening or early morning. You may hear a gnawing on the wood or nuts rolling. There are several different types of squirrels. A fox squirrel is brown, black or grey. They prefer oak, hickory and walnuts or osage orange fruits. They store their nuts for winter. In late winter and early spring they prefer to eat tree buds and may even eat animal matter. They often mark territory by chewing. Their scent glands are in their cheeks. They will breed at one year old in December/January and again in June. A young squirrel may breed only once in their first year. A squirrel will travel up to 50 miles in the fall to find better territory. They average 3 young.
Voles
A vole resembles a mouse but has a stocky body and is brown to grey in color. Voles are referred to as meadow mice. They are active in the day and night (no hibernation). They eat the best part of plants. Visible damage from voles are trails in the grass where they have eaten. After the snow leaves in spring you will see damage to your lawn, this damage is from voles and is often mistaken for mole damage. Trapping is the best method of control.
Gophers
Gophers have thirteen stripes. They live in holes and are found in yards with little dirt at the hole. They will make trails in grass. Their diet consists of vegetation and animal matter. Rarely do they drink water getting moisture from their food source. They mate about 2 weeks after coming out of hibernation. They average 3 to 14 young.
Chipmunks
An eastern chipmunk is brown and has two tan and five blackish stripes on its back. They also have two tan and two brownish stripes on each side. A chipmunk is often confused with a thirteen strip ground squirrel or gopher. Typically inhabit mature woodlands and wood lots. Also like rock walls and landscape areas. Home range of chipmunk is a about a half acre and will protect their home entry within 50 feet. Most chipmunk tunnels are 20 to 30 feet long. Chipmunks do not enter a deep hibernation, they rely on their food storage to survive. They mate two times per year in spring and fall. They average 2 to 5 young and live up to 5 years. Trapping is the best method of control.
