What Are Wild Animals Attracted To?
Just like any pest, wild animals may make their way into your property in search of food and shelter. Sometimes they enter homes to escape extreme temperatures outdoors, which is why they can be found in attics, garages, or basements. There are a number of things that, if left outdoors, may increase the risk of wildlife invading your property, including:
- Pet Food
- Debris Piles
- Birdseed
- Unsealed Garbage Cans
Common Entry Points Where They Get In
- Roof Gaps & Soffits
- Foundation Cracks
- Vents & Chimneys
- Gaps Around Utility Lines
- Damaged Screens & Weatherstripping
- Crawl Space Openings
How to Remove Wildlife
Seeing one or two raccoons near your property isn’t any reason to panic. If, however, these wild animals continue to return, invade your property, or start to grow in numbers, it’s time to consider calling in an expert. The best way to avoid letting these animals into your home is to deal with the problem before they find access. Raccoons, opossums, and moles are not creatures you want in your home, and you should never try to trap them by yourself. Certain species are more aggressive than others, and it’s simply not worth the risk.
Where Professional Exclusion Comes In
What makes wildlife especially troublesome is how difficult they can be to eliminate once they’ve settled in. That’s where exclusion techniques become invaluable.
Without addressing how they’re getting inside, the problem is likely to return. Which is why at Ja-Roy Pest Control, our team employs an advanced process to protect your home against rodents and wildlife:
- Inspection: We begin with a complimentary assessment to pinpoint vulnerabilities around your property.
- Customized Planning: Next, we design a strategy specifically tailored to your property’s unique needs.
- Humane Removal: We then carefully and ethically remove any wildlife present on your premises.
- Securing Entry Points: Finally, we reinforce your home’s defenses by sealing all openings to prevent future invasions.
FAQs
I hear scratching in my attic at night. What could it be?
Scratching sounds in your attic, especially at night, are often a telltale sign of wildlife activity.
So if you’re hearing these sounds, don’t ignore them. Contact Ja-Roy Pest Control for a free inspection to identify what’s living in your attic and develop a plan for safe removal.
How long does it take to trap an animal?
The timeline for trapping wildlife varies. But in general, most wildlife trapping situations are resolved within a few days to two weeks.
Is wildlife removal covered by insurance?
In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover wildlife removal services. Insurance typically covers sudden, accidental damage rather than issues caused by pests or animals, which are generally considered preventable maintenance concerns.
