OKC, Edmond & Norman

Page Contents
 

If you are hearing thumps and noises in the attic to rival the rumblings along Interstate 35, chances are you have a wildlife problem. The cities of Oklahoma City, Edmond, or Norman are located in close proximity to one another, and are often considered the same region, however, the specific kinds of problems faced by each, and their severity, may differ a bit between these three cities.

Let's take a look at how OKC, Edmond and Norman compare when it comes to wildlife issues. For the most part, Oklahoma City does not have as many wildlife problems as the other two areas. This is because the Norman and Edmond areas have more trees and thick cover to accommodate wildlife than Oklahoma City does. Norman has a unique situation from the other two, as it is primarily a college town. Consequently there are a lot of rental properties and absentee landlords. We receive a high number of calls about skunks under homes in Norman because of the absentee landlords and the problems associated with young renters.

The areas surrounding the several golf courses in Norman are always going to experience more animal control issues with raccoons, skunks, opossums and snakes than any other portion of the area, as well as, anybody living next to Lake Thunderbird or the one hundred plus bodies of water in the area. The little creeks and streams attract wildlife, including beaver, so wildlife removal in the Norman area keeps us pretty busy.

Looking at the three grouped together, some of our most common wildlife control missions in the area are for skunk, armadillo, raccoon, and squirrel removal. We also encounter bat problems from time to time too.
