We all love to sit and watch the wildlife that is so abundant in this part of the state. But when that wildlife decides to take up residence in our home, then they are not quite so cute. There is an abundance of wild life in the area. Everything from Raccoons, Squirrels, Flying Squirrels, Skunks, Opossums, Groundhogs, Bats, Birds, Pigeons, Snakes to Rats and Mice can be seen in and around our yards. What happens from time to time is that as new homes and business are built the natural habitat of these creatures is encroached upon. They are forced to look for new nesting places. Sometimes this winds up being inside your home. These critters are well adapted in finding ways to enter crawlspaces and attics. Once inside, their natural tendency is to burrow and gnaw. They will make nests by chewing wall material and insulation. They can chew through wires, insulation, and water pipes as well.
The best strategy is prevention. Exclusion is the key, but sometimes-total exclusion is not always possible. At Adcock’s Trapping Service we always remove any animals or install one way doors (a one way door is a device which allows wildife to exit the structure but not to re-enter) before attempting exclusion and offer live catch and release techniques when at all possible and legal.
