7 Tips To Keep Your Home Wildlife Problem Free!



With the change of the seasons, wildlife will start their annual migration into your home. It is getting cold outside and animals need a place to hibernate or simply hole up when the temps fall below normal.

Most infestations can be easily solved. If the animals are left in the home or business for extended periods, it will be harder for you to remove them.

What can you do to ensure they won't invade your space?




  1. Start from the ground and look for entry places such as where plumbing and electrical wires enter the home.
  2. Look at your siding to ensure there are no missing pieces or holes in existing siding.
  3. Observe connecting rooflines for security and any missing shingles, soffit or fascia.
  4. Check the chimney for a cap and if there is one, make sure it is not damaged or ill fitting.
  5. Check attic vents for security and proper screening in place.
  6. Look for signs of digging under porches and patios indicating an animal is living there.
  7. Check vents on the side of the home for proper operation and screening.

Squirrels and Raccoons in Your Attic This Fall?



This fall and winter will usher in many creatures into your home and attic.
Squirrels, raccoons, possums and even cats will move into attics and crawlspaces.
What can you do about this oncoming invasion?
The first thing you can do is an inspection of your home. Grab a pair of binoculars and look for missing vent screens, vent covers and gaps in rooflines. Inspect siding for holes and missing pieces.
Check the chimney for a chimney cap and any other vent stacks for proper screening. Now step back and look at the overall condition of the home or building. Are there any areas that need maintenance or repair?
If you suspect that animals are in your home or building, have a Wildlife Expert inspect and remove any wildlife before your repair work can be initiated. A All Animal Control are your local Nuisance Wildlife Control Experts and can solve any wildlife problem for you.
