As temperatures drop, wildlife starts searching for food, shelter, and a warm place to spend the colder months. Your home, garage, shed, or outbuilding can quickly become an attractive target.
Keep an eye out for:
🐿️ Squirrels getting into attics
🦝 Raccoons seeking shelter
🦨 Skunks digging in lawns and landscaping
🦡 Groundhogs burrowing around buildings
🍁 FALL WILDLIFE PREVENTION TIPS
✔️ Inspect your roof, soffits, vents, and siding for openings
✔️ Make sure chimney caps and vent covers are secure
✔️ Trim tree branches away from your roof
✔️ Keep garbage cans tightly covered
✔️ Remove fallen fruit and other food sources from your yard
✔️ Avoid leaving pet food outside overnight
✔️ Check sheds, garages, and crawl spaces for potential entry points
✔️ Look for fresh holes, droppings, scratching, or other signs of activity
A small opening can become a big wildlife problem once cold weather arrives. 🏠🍂

🦝These young raccoons were caught on a groundhog job and since they were not the target species, they were released back onto the property where they were captured.🦝
