This document discusses why it is important to hire a certified wildlife control professional to remove wild animals from your home. It notes that wild animals like raccoons and skunks will defend themselves aggressively if they feel threatened, posing risks to homeowners. A certified wildlife control professional has extensive training handling wildlife humanely and safely without risks of bites, scratches or spraying. They use proper equipment and techniques to remove animals and then repair entry points so other animals do not re-enter.
