I Don't See Any Big Holes. How Is an Animal Getting Into My House?

This sentence should probably be printed on our trucks.

“I walked around the whole house. There are no holes.”

I believe you.

The problem is that you and a squirrel have very different definitions of a hole.

Wildlife can use openings that look ridiculously small from the ground.

Bats are especially good at this.

Squirrels can squeeze through tight areas and chew vulnerable material.

Raccoons are larger, but they are strong enough to exploit weak spots and make small problems much larger.

Chipmunks can use lower openings around foundations and crawl spaces.

The entrance may also be hidden

Not every wildlife entry point is conveniently located six feet off the ground where you can inspect it while holding coffee.

It may be:

Behind a gutter.

Under a roof return.

At a soffit transition.

Around a gable.

Near flashing.

Along a foundation.

Behind landscaping.

At a crawl space vent.

Sometimes we find the opening and the homeowner says, “There is absolutely no way that thing fit through there.”

Yet here we are.

This is why the free inspection matters

You do not need to know exactly where the animal is entering before you call us.

That is literally why we come out.

We inspect the structure, look for evidence and determine what kind of wildlife situation you actually have.
