Common Nuisance Animals that Damage Ornamental Landscaping & Green Spaces

Rodents (Rats & Mice)

Rodents are notorious for contaminating and damaging pool and pond areas.

• Contaminate pool water with urine and droppings

• Chew on pool covers and liners, causing leaks

• Tunnel near pond edges, leading to soil erosion

Squirrels

These agile climbers often find their way into pools and equipment areas.

• Fall into pools and drown, creating sanitation issues

• Chew on pool equipment wires, causing malfunctions

• Scatter debris, leaves, and nuts into pool water

Raccoons

Raccoons cause widespread damage while searching for water or food.

• Tear pool covers, creating costly damage

• Contaminate water with feces, spreading parasites like giardia

• Knock over pond decorations and filtration systems

Bats

Bats are a major health concern near water sources.

• Drop guano into pools, leading to bacterial contamination

• Fly low over ponds, potentially disturbing fish and aquatic life

• Roost near water sources, increasing infestation risks

Opossums

These nocturnal animals can become unexpected pool or pond intruders.

• Fall into pools, leading to contamination and drowning hazards

• Dig burrows near pond edges, weakening embankments

• Scatter food waste around water sources, attracting more pests

Skunks

Skunks bring odor and structural issues to backyard water features.

• Fall into pools and drown, leading to severe odor contamination

• Dig around ponds, causing erosion and instability

• Leave strong odors near pool areas, making outdoor spaces unpleasant

Beavers

Beavers can quickly transform your peaceful pond into a structural mess.

• Build dams that disrupt water flow in ponds and artificial lakes

• Gnaw on wooden pool decks and pond structures, causing instability

• Uproot aquatic plants, disturbing pond ecosystems

Muskrats

These aquatic rodents damage the very foundation of ponds and water features.

• Dig tunnels along pond banks, causing erosion and collapses

• Damage pond liners by chewing holes in them

• Contaminate water with waste, leading to poor water quality

Birds & Geese

Often underestimated, waterfowl cause both noise and sanitation problems.

• Contaminate pools and ponds with droppings, spreading bacteria

• Damage pond plants by overgrazing, disrupting ecosystems

• Create noise and aggressive behavior, especially during nesting season

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick was kind and responsive. He helped me with pigeon exclusion services. The first time he installed the exclusion ,  two pigeon nests with young pigeons were left behind (by accident) and he returned to make sure the pigeons were safely removed and redid the service.
Due to having to come multiple times he also did a quick pressure wash of the front and side walkway where there was a lot of pigeon droppings. Great customer service ! Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reviewed several websites of pest control firms to  eradicate my home’s roof of nesting pigeons and to barricade future access to the space under my solar panels. The Critter Brothers website showed a wire mesh fencing product which i thought would work better than the plastic or metal spikes shown on other websites. Nick called me right back when i called to inquire and provided me a quote within a day.  The work was scheduled within a week and was completed over parts of 2 days.  Nick was responsive and personable and answered all my questions.  He provided me photos of the work for my files.  Thank you so much.
