HUMANE WILDLIFE CONTROL

Winter Is Back!

As we cozy up with our loved ones through the colder weather, wildlife in our communities also return to their winter routines. Much like us, urban wildlife must prepare for the cold winter months ahead. Unfortunately, part of their preparation often leads them into your home’s attic, walls or crawl spaces as they seek shelter and warmth from the elements. 

Our urban wildlife friends alter their daily routines to help them survive the changing seasons. Throughout late spring, summer, and early fall, resources are plentiful, and wild animals spend most of their time outdoors scavenging for nesting materials and food. When the snow begins to fall, raccoons, skunks, squirrels and mice look for warm and safe places to hunker down. Given the choice between a tree hollow and a cozy attic, the choice for most wildlife is clear.

Most urban animals in our communities do not go into a complete hibernation during the colder months. Instead, they may go through periods of low activity, or enter into a deep slumber state known as “torpor”. In fact, raccoons will begin their mating season as early as January, birthing their first litters before winter officially melts into spring. The spring birthing season is the most common time of year for wildlife break-ins, as mothers look for a safe place to birth and raise their young, causing thousands of dollars in damage for homeowners.
