Providing Both Residential & Commercial Wildlife Removal Services
Virginia is home to five distinct ecological zones, each teeming with a diverse array of wildlife. Over 100 types of mammals, 200 unique bird species, and an array of fish, amphibians, and reptiles inhabit these eco-regions, which include the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, Central Appalachian Forest, Chesapeake Bay Lowlands, Piedmont, and South Atlantic Coastal Plain.
The State of Wildlife in Virginia
The most pressing issue for wildlife in the state is habitat loss. At present, 93,000 acres of land in Virginia have been transformed into non-reusable spaces such as shopping centers, eateries, residential areas, and office complexes. Such land alterations, like deforestation to make way for these developments, deprive wildlife of essential resources like food, water, and shelter, forcing them to look for alternative habitats, possibly on your property.
Second in line to habitat loss is the menace of invasive species from other states and nations. These species proliferate rapidly upon arrival, displacing indigenous flora and fauna. Climate change is another element affecting wildlife; the governor has enacted executive orders addressing this. Changes like escalating temperatures can strain the availability of food, water, and shelter, thus impacting survival rates for wildlife.
Virginia’s climate is segmented into five regions:
- Tidewater
- Piedmont
- Northern Virginia
- South-Western Mountain
- Western Mountain
Environmental shifts can push wildlife closer to human habitats, including entering homes through spaces like attics, basements, and crawl areas. Expect to come across different wildlife species throughout the year based on these factors.
Nuisance Wildlife by Season in Virginia
Virginia’s climate varies with its four seasonal changes, which have a pronounced influence on wildlife behavior, some of which could be considered a nuisance.
The state identifies nuisance wildlife as creatures that could pose a risk to public safety, cause or risk causing property damage, or be bothersome enough to restrict the enjoyment of your residence and land. The Department of Wildlife Resources provides guidelines on managing such wildlife.
