Wildlife Problems in Springfield, MO

Wildlife species thrive in parts of Springfield, MO, where food and shelter are available. This is especially true in populated areas like neighborhoods. It is not unusual for homeowners to find animals living in yards, attics, and garages.

Bats Indoors

Bats lose their natural habitat when houses go up in Missouri, so the pests often invade living spaces. They come inside through small gaps, open windows, or uncapped chimneys. Feces and urine that accumulates under bat roosts can pose health risks for residents.

Tree Squirrel Problems

These rodents are a frequent problem in Springfield urban areas since buildings provide the perfect den sites. While entering a structure, squirrels may tear up shingles or ruin insulation. They also attract predators like coyotes and bobcats.

Denning Raccoons

When raising her young, a female raccoon looks for a warm and protected den site. The animals are good climbers and easily gain access to roofs from nearby trees. In addition to rabies and other diseases, raccoons may carry fleas and ticks that can spread to Missouri residents or their pets.

Frequently Encountered Wildlife

A common nuisance in Springfield, opossums search backyards for food. They often get into bird feeders or garbage near houses. Another outdoor pest, groundhogs can scale fencing to reach gardens and ornamentals. Groundhog burrows also create a tripping hazard in Missouri lawns.

Deer in Greater Springfield

Deer overpopulation is a major problem in and around Springfield. These pests cause issues by eating crops and darting across busy highways in front of cars. When deer overrun neighborhoods, they destroy gardens and landscaping. They can also carry deer ticks, which are a vector for Lyme disease.

Springfield Rodents

Mice and rats are the most common rodents in Missouri. These pests shelter in attics or basements and contaminate food as well as kitchen surfaces. Rodents nest inside wall voids and even within large appliances. A rat or mouse will chew through wires, which can result in costly repairs.

Missouri Skunks

The Springfield area is home to a thriving urban skunk population. These animals dig for insects in lawns and den under porches and decks. Especially in an enclosed area, a skunk's foul scent can linger for weeks.
