Greensboro wildlife issues:

The nuisance wildlife control professional who is aware of these traits should turn them to his own advantage whenever he has the opportunity. A conflict Greensboro animal's senses of sight, smell and hearing are its warning system and constitute the most important part of its protective equipment. If the nuisance wildlife control professional wants to approach a conflict animal without detection, he must avoid this warning system. This is difficult and often impossible, but it is helpful to understand how nuisance wildlife use these identification senses. Their sense of smell is very well developed. Any animal which can dig down through a foot and a half of snow and find a frozen apple, squash, turnip, or cabbage must have a good nose.

I have watched nuisance wildlife do this and they never dig an unproductive hole. I watched five feeding nuisance wildlife while a mink approached them. There was a cross wind, but the Greensboro pest critter detected the mink at over a hundred yards. The mink was in thick cover and I am sure that they detected its presence by scent alone. The ability of nuisance wildlife to catch the scent of a nuisance wildlife control professional depends on the wind direction and velocity, in relation to man and animal, and on the time that these relations have been maintained. A very light air movement will carry a man 's scent away from a conflict animal if he is down wind, and to it if he is up wind. Sometimes a strong wind will dissipate the scent so that a conflict animal fails to detect it even if the nuisance Greensboro wildlife control professional is up wind. When the atmospheric pressure is such that smoke stays close to the ground then scent remains close to the ground and at such times nuisance wildlife can detect odors for a long distance.

The fact that nuisance wildlife have a keen nose need not be too discouraging to the nuisance wildlife control professional, for nuisance wildlife do not run at the first hint of danger. The pest critter which live in settled country have become accustomed to the scent of humans and they will not resort to flight from them until they are sure that such flight is necessary. True wilderness nuisance Greensboro wildlife, on the other hand, are so unaccustomed to man that their curiosity will often be stronger than their instinctive fear. The pest critter which live in a wilderness country that is traped intensively are the pest critter that are most apt to rely on their sense of smell, and, since all men encountered are enemies, they are the pest critter that ere most apt to flee from the scent of these men. A conflict animal's hearing is exceptionally good.
