Belay Training
Monday, July 12, 2010

When you're working with wildlife you never know what's going to happen on the job. So being prepared for anything is something we take very seriously at Wildlife Solutions. The animal could be hiding in a hole, camped out in an attic, or even on the top of a ten story building. Due to the unexpected nature of our line of work, field technicians truly need to be prepared for and capable of handling whatever is thrown their way. As you can imagine, this requires long hours of training. Recently our staff participated in some pretty fun training at an indoor rock climbing center in Central Florida.

There have been plenty of situations in the past where we've had to repel from the rooftops of buildings in order to address bat colonies, rescue entangled wildlife, and install bird control devices. Our rock climbing escapade ensured everyone on our team is comfortable and fully-trained on the proper belaying and repelling procedures. Here at Wildlife Solutions we're true to our word when we say that every day is an adventure - and making sure our staff are fully trained and ready for anything has proven to be an important factor in building our reputation for excellent work and outstanding customer service. So whether you need help with raccoons in an attic, bats on a roof, or a simple walk-through on how to weave a figure 8 knot through a belay key lock, you know who to call.
