Our team created some of our top 5 wildlife control tips for homeowners- be proactive!!! Give it a read!
- DO NOT ignore those scratching sounds – it’s not your imagination homeowner. This time of year where the weather can turn cold at any time you could be hearing bats that have actually been there all year. The problem now is with the temps changing, these little creatures aren’t far from finding their winter resting place and left unattended, it will be in your walls for the winter!!
- DO NOT ignore those running sounds you hear periodically through the night. Just as we mentioned above with bats, flying squirrels are now getting ready to come into your homes since the attics and crawl spaces aren’t too hot for them anymore. Unlike the bats who will end up in your walls dormant for the winter months, flyers will be running in and out ALL night ALL winter! And they are communal little buggers who love to visit each other so one night you could have two and the next night twenty!
- DO be proactive in getting all that grass seed out of your garage or into a steel container before it ends up in your shoe in the closet. Mice are constantly storing food and always preparing. You might not hear or see them but come this winter when they are in AND STAYING, the evidence will quickly manifest itself. Droppings, staining, scurrying sounds, and even some fun face to face encounters are inevitable. Mice breed multiple times a year and have as many as six-plus each time. You do the math!
- DO go to our website and download the homeowner checklist and take the time to walk around your home and do a quick inspection. This will help you identify potential problems before they become an issue. Being proactive in protecting your investment just makes good sense.
