Don’t Let Wildlife Feel at Home in Your Home!

Little critters love the air conditioning in the summer and the heater in the winter, just like humans. But the last thing you want is for the animals to bring in a bunch of debris to burrow into your attic or walls before the winter. In this blog, we’ll address some common animal invaders and some steps you can take to prevent unwanted roommates.

Honey bees love building nests in the cracks and crevices of your home. Fortunately, the height of summer is the best time for a wildlife expert to extract them. They’ll want to come during the day so the foragers are outside the nest. You’ll need to hire an expert to extract bats from your home as well.

Squirrel nests are a problem because these little guys will gnaw through your wiring and other critical infrastructure. Installing metal caps and screens instead of plastic will create a chew-proof barrier. Another creature that tries to break into your home is the woodpecker! They’re usually looking for bugs in your home’s exterior, so treating the bugs first will get rid of the problem.
