Challenges Associated with Residential Wildlife Control
The presence of wildlife can pose a challenge in urban, suburban, and rural areas, depending on available resources. These animals, while capable of living in the wild, wander close to humans due to the ready availability of food and shelter. As cities and residential communities continue to grow, encounters with uninvited wildlife become more frequent. Some common concerns include, but are not limited to:
- Raccoons are known for rummaging through trash cans, causing a mess, and potentially spreading diseases. They are highly adaptable and intelligent, making them skilled at finding food sources in urban areas. Raccoons are excellent climbers and can access attics and chimneys.
- Squirrels often enter homes to build nests, gnaw on electrical wires, and create structural damage. They are agile climbers and can easily access roofs and attics. Squirrels are active during the day and are known for constantly chewing to keep their teeth from overgrowing.
- Rats can contaminate food, spread diseases, and cause structural damage by gnawing on wiring and pipes. These animals are nocturnal and highly adaptable, often fitting through small openings and breeding rapidly, making infestations a common issue.
- Mice are similar to rats in causing food contamination and structural damage, including chewing on wires and insulation. However, mice are small and can access even smaller openings. They are prolific breeders and can quickly establish colonies within homes.
One of the primary concerns is the various points of entry these animals can exploit. Wildlife can find its way into your home through tiny openings in the roof, gaps in the siding, or cracks in the foundation. Addressing these access points is crucial in preventing future intrusions.
