Late summer is prime time for critters to start “shopping” for cozy fall and winter homes… like your attic, crawlspace, or garage.

A few things to watch for:
• Scratching or movement sounds at night
• Torn vents or loose soffits
• Droppings in the attic, basement, or around the porch
• Pets staring at the same spot like they’re hearing something you can’t

If any of this sounds familiar, it might not be your imagination. We can safely remove unwanted wildlife now, before they settle in and start a family upstairs.

Groundhogs, albeit small, have the potential to wipe out your vegetable garden in minutes. The damage does not stop at feeding on your foliage; groundhogs like to burrow, which can destroy the aesthetic value of your garden. It can also compromise the structural integrity of small structures like garden shacks or your deck if they burrow beneath the foundation.

Therefore, it is better to deter them from encroaching on your land than to wait to react after they’re already present. The best way to keep them away is by using groundhog deterrents.

Contrary to popular belief, skunks aren’t roaming around the neighborhood looking to spray. Spraying is their last resort – it takes a lot of energy, and they only have so much “ammo” before a refill.

They usually give warnings first:
• Stomping their feet
• Raising their tail
• Doing a little “backwards shuffle” toward you

If you spot a skunk doing its warning dance in your yard, give it space and call us. We’ll handle the sneaky stink machine so you and your pets can stay smell-free.

Proof that “tweeting” from your chimney is not a recommended communication strategy. When this little bird got stuck, our team braved the weekend rain, gently rescued the feathery culprit, and made sure the home was safe and critter-free for everyone.

If you hear chirps, squeaks, or mystery thumps where they shouldn’t be, call us before your attic starts its own nature documentary. We’ll help the animals and protect your home. 📞

August heat can send wildlife looking for cooler, safer spaces. Garages, crawl spaces, basements, and attics can all become attractive hiding spots when temperatures climb.

Your air conditioning is working hard enough without sharing it with unwanted guests. If animals are finding ways inside, Shumaker’s Animal Control can help identify entry points and keep them out.

Fun Fact Friday:

Raccoons wash their food… even when there’s nothing to wash off. It’s not about hygiene; it’s about touch. Their paws are incredibly sensitive, and the water helps them "see" with their hands.

If you hear splashing sounds near your trash cans, it might not be a leaky hose – it could be a midnight raccoon spa night.

🐶 National Dog Month Tip: Keep Your Pup Wild-Animal Free

Your dog’s job: be cute. Our job: deal with raccoons, foxes, snakes, and other uninvited wildlife.

Quick safety tips for National Dog Month:
• Keep dogs leashed on walks – especially near wooded areas and alleys.
• Don’t let them investigate holes, brush piles, or sheds (prime wildlife real estate).
• Secure trash cans so raccoons and foxes don’t turn your yard into a drive-thru.
• If your dog is fixated on a spot in the yard, don’t send them in as security – call us.

If you suspect wildlife is a little too close for comfort, we’ll safely remove the critters so your dog can go back to their regularly scheduled zoomies.

A raccoon in the yard at dusk is a nice surprise. But a raccoon in your attic at 2 a.m. is a different problem entirely. Once wildlife gets inside a home or business, it doesn’t just make noise. It chews wiring, tears up insulation, and puts your family, employees, or pets at risk of disease.

That’s where professional wildlife removal services come in, and it’s exactly what Shumaker’s Animal Control has spent years handling for properties across the Baltimore region.
