What Can I Do to Keep Squirrels out of the Attic?
You may notice squirrels in your yard on a regular basis. If they have gained entry to your home, though, you are more likely to hear them before you see them. Scurrying/scampering feet overhead, generally from the attic, are the most common sounds. Squirrels love to consume wood framework, as well as drywall and wiring, so you might hear scratching and chewing noises. The attic is the most common place to look for squirrels in your home. Squirrels breed all year, but activity is highest in the winter and summer. Their litters usually have two to four babies who stay in the nest for about three months. Squirrels will look for holes in trees to live in for protection, but if none are available, they will look for a suitable hollow in a neighboring home. The most primary criticism about these rodents is their presence in your home.
Identify Areas of Skunk Damage

Raccoons have the ability to wreak a remarkable amount of damage in a short period of time. Vent ducts, insulation, fan vents, cooling systems, insulation, and even robust wood beams can all be shredded by their razor-sharp claws and teeth. They also defecate and urinate in large quantities, usually in the same place where they have set up their "restroom." This feces and urine become lodged in the insulation and eventually soak through to the underlying wood. All of this means that your raccoon problem is unlikely to improve over time. It's only going to get worse. If a raccoon dies in your home, you'll know immediately since the smell is terrible.
We begin bat inspections by performing a thorough inspection of your home and property to identify all probable primary and secondary entry points. Many people believe that bats can only enter their home through an open window or through the chimney. This isn't always the case, though. Bats typically enter through soffit gaps, roof vents, loose or missing roof shingles, warped siding, and small cracks or breaches in brick walls as small as 1/2 inch. Bats can gain enter access to a home via the fascia board.
Bat Control and Bat Removal Tips
We start by doing a thorough end-to-end inspection of your home and property to identify any primary and secondary entry points (and potential entrance points that may not be used now but could be used in the future). We also look for raccoon urine and feces in your attic and crawl space.
We give you with a personalized raccoon removal action plan after our thorough inspection. We'll also show you some digital images so you can see what goes on behind the scenes. In addition, we will answer to all of your queries in a straightforward, honest, and transparent manner. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a bad question!
