Every home owner with pets in the Spring Hill TN area needs to take precautions when leaving pets out to roam or tied on a leash or even locked up in a pen or fenced in area. There has been a rash of attacks by coyotes on pets in the past year and it seems that the attacks are on the rise. The latest attack was on a Yorkshire Terrier that belonged to a woman by the name of Sarah Paxson.

The attack was in the Whispering Woods subdivision located in Spring Hill TN. Our sympathy and condolence goes out to Sarah paxson. You can read more about her tragic story buy going to www.springhillinformer.com

Keep lids on all trash cans and don’t place trash out until the day of pick up. Try to make sure gates are shut around your property at all times. If you ever need advice feel free to call us or if you have any local wildlife news we would like to hear about it.

Fur-N-Feathers Wildlife Management Offers a Solution for Wildlife Control

Sara Paxton said that only a few days passed before Clay Oren had caught a coyote on her property.

When Clay Oren heard about coyotes that had recently attacked and killed Sara Paxton’s beloved Yorkshire terrier here in Spring Hill, he felt that he had to help. Oren is the owner of Fur-N-Feathers Wildlife Management, a privately owned business that specializes in wildlife control. While his business is not a non-profit one, he decided to make an exception for this case. He was so touched that he is providing free treatment to Paxton for thirty days to keep the coyotes away.

Oren has worked in the business of wildlife control since 2001. His experience allowed him to become the owner of his own business in October 2009. There are many reasons a home or business owner might call Fur-N-Feathers Wildlife Management. A scurrying or scratching in the attic or walls, a skunk spraying in a crawl space or under a porch, or damage from animals such as a squirrel chewing a hole in a roof or a side vent could all be such reasons. It doesn’t stop there. Oren has removed many dead animals in addition to possibly harmful droppings that wildlife can leave behind.

Oren stresses that he cares about wildlife, even the ones that are causing problems to a home or business owner. His technique includes relocating the animal to a suitable environment. Oren has several “safe places,” which he will not disclose for fear of hunters targeting the animals. “I love saving animals. I love what I do.” says Oren. He knows he is helping pets as well as the animals that may cause them harm. Fur-N-Feathers Wildlife Management provides not only the humane removal of animals that are causing problems, but will provide solutions to prevent future problems. Oren’s is one of the few companies that offers barrier control. They have proven to effectively keep animals out of areas such as under decks and porches. Depending on the type of damage, the company also offers repair service as well.

Unfortunately, coyote attacks on pets in the area have been on the rise. Paxton said that only a few days passed before Oren had caught a coyote on her property. His consideration for others and his dedication to his work made a great impression on Paxton. “This guy just came up and said, ‘I want to help you,” she said.

While Oren doesn’t generally give free services to clients, he believes his rates are competitive. For a licensed and certified wildlife specialist, call (615) 491-6859. The website address is fur-n-featherswildlifemanagement.com.

Servicing the surrounding areas including Williamson, Maury, Robertson, Davidson, Wilson, Cheatham, Dickson, Rutherford, Bedford counties and more, Oren is confident he can give you peace of mind concerning your home, business, or property.
