What Moves to Make When Temperatures Shift
When Things Heat Up
As the snow begins to melt, the flowers and trees start to bloom, and the smell of spring is in the air, your indulgence in the season might be interrupted by wildlife problems. During the spring, you may notice a lot of wild animals near your house, including bats, birds, raccoons, and squirrels, just to name a few. While these creatures can be truly amazing to watch, sometimes they overstep their boundaries, coming onto your property and even into your house, which can lead to significant problems.
There are several steps you can take to prevent wildlife issues in the spring, including:
- Trim tree branches – It's important to trim branches a reasonable distance away from your house, as these can provide easy access for animals like squirrels onto your roof and into your attic.
- Clean your gutters – Cleaning your gutters not only ensures that they will function properly, but will also eliminate locations where animals could potentially nest.
- Patch holes – If the exterior of your home has any holes or damage, they should be patched to prevent animals from accessing your house through them.
When Things Turn Cold
As the cold sets in, animals will look for someplace warm to spend the winter. It’s important to have your house animal-proofed, so your home doesn’t become a residence for unwelcome guests. While there is no guaranteed solution to prevent a wildlife problem this fall, there are several actions you can take to prevent animal intrusion.
Tips for avoiding nuisance animal conflicts include:
- Refrain from feeding wildlife
- Cap your chimney
- Cover basement window wells
- Remove all outside food sources
- Feed your pets inside your house
- Stack firewood away from your home
- Store garbage in a manner that doesn’t attract animals
- Trim branches that are touching or hanging over the roof
- Remove or modify bird feeders to ensure a clean area
- Close off access around porches, sheds, and your home’s foundation
Don't let unwelcome wildlife visitors make a home in your property. Call Varmint Evictors, Inc. at (989) 268-7666 or fill out our online form to get in touch!
