HUMANE WILDLIFE CONTROL

What Wildlife Do During The Summer Months

As summer arrives to warm our backyards, the wildlife in our communities begin their new seasonal routines. During this time, the young wildlife babies that were born in the spring become more active, and many new litters still continue to arrive into the end of August. Throughout the season, our communities provide plentiful food sources, fostering thriving populations of raccoons, squirrels, skunks, birds, mice, and bats.

Throughout June, July and August, raccoons, skunks and squirrels are particularly active in urban communities across North America. Squirrels are busy foraging for food, and raising their second litters of the year, born sometime between late June and late August. Being nocturnal, raccoons spend their evenings scrounging for meals in garbage bins (especially during BBQ season), and looking for cool homes to spend the hot summer days. Skunks begin exploring their neighbourhoods with their newly adolescent litters, digging cooler den sites beneath structures like decks, sheds, and porches to escape the heat.

During summer, bat populations are thriving and at their most active. This is because they are busy capitalizing on the abundant flying insects that thrive in warm temperatures. With their heightened activity inside and outside of their colonies, during this time Skedaddle receives more calls about bat problems than any other wildlife species. Skedaddle technicians have the knowledge and training to prepare homes for humane and long-term bat exclusion once it is safe for the bats to leave their colony. Encountering a bat inside a home typically indicates a larger infestation on the property.

When you spot a bat or any other wildlife species on your property this summer, be sure to contact the professionals at Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control. Immediate removal is always best to prevent more damage. Skedaddle technicians arrive at every property and create a customizable plan, walking property owners through each step of the process.

After our team has completed the process, your property will be cleaned of any contamination, repaired and protected from wildlife entry.
