Wild Animals Love To Live In Attics of Homes
 |
|
 |
| Raccoons love to live in attics, particularly female raccoons with a litter of babies. This one had three. | |
Squirrels are one of the most common animals in people's attics. I usually catch 3-5 out of an average attic. |

 |
| Here it is, the roof rat (rattus rattus) in an attic. They create many runways and droppings in the insulation. | |
Opossums are very common in attics here in central Florida. Same as always, it's usually a mother with young. |
 |
|
 |
| Sometimes I even get snakes in attics. This is a Yellow Rat Snake, and it was in the attic in search of rats, lured in by their scent trails. I grabbed and removed it. | |
This is a large colony of bats living in an attic. This group covered much of the attic and was well over 1000 members. I removed them all safely without harm. |

| Here's yet another photo of a raccoon in an attic, once again a female with a litter of pups nearby. | |
There were four squirrels in this corner, a mother and 3 young. You can just barely see one down in the soffit. |
These are just eight examples of the thing I do most commonly - remove wild animals from people's attics. Wildlife are always on the prowl for a nice place to live, and the attic of a home is often ideal, especially
to a female raccoon, squirrel, or opossum in search of a safe place to raise its young. An attic is just like a big old hollow tree to a critter, and it's warm and dry and free from predators. These animals are
all expert climbers and can climb pretty much any surface to get on the roof, and then they usually push, claw, or chew their way in, if there's not already a hole or gap somewhere in a vent or part of the
architecture. Once inside, they'll stay until the young are grown - a period of many months - and while inside, they'll cause a lot of destruction and biohazardous waste. And speaking of that, let's not forget roof
rats. These are the most common animals that I deal with, and they're everywhere. They can squeeze through very tight areas, and cause a lot of headaches for homeowners - scratching and scampering at night, and a lot
of chewing and defecating and urinating. They can be serious spreaders of disease. I specialize in trapping and removing these animals, fixing their damage, sealing up the holes they used to enter the building, and
cleaning and decontaminating their waste.
I operate a professional wildlife removal business in Orlando Florida. It is not a pest control or extermination company, nor is it the county animal control. It is a privately owned nuisance critter and wildlife
control business. For more company information, just browse this site. If you need professional wildlife trapping in Queens, Bronx or Brooklyn, click the link to the left.
