HUMANE WILDLIFE CONTROL

Autumn Has Arrived!

As leaves and temperatures start to drop, many homeowners begin to prepare their homes for cold nights and frosty mornings.

While you begin clearing the yard, packing away patio furniture, and checking your home’s weatherproofing, wildlife begins to target your home as the perfect place to hide out for the fall season.

While each of our urban wildlife friends have their own way to survive the fall and winter, they all share the same goal. Each species needs to find a warm and cozy den site (or multiple den sites) to keep out of the cold and survive till spring.

While raccoons and squirrels tend to prefer your attic, some other species like mice or skunks may find comfort and warmth in your garage, shed or crawlspace.

Not all wildlife spend fall and winter the same, raccoons for instance do not hibernate. They instead will go into a state of torpor and can sleep for weeks on end without foraging outside in the cold for their next meal. This allows them to stay in their den sites for long periods of time, and makes identifying their presence more difficult. They do this by storing fat throughout spring and early fall in preparation for the change in season. Learn more about raccoons during fall and winter.
