Many of the above tips will help prevent wildlife problems. I commonly deal with nuisance wildlife that have invaded a property because the homeowner has left something attractive for the animals. This often means
open garbage cans or pet food. If you leave uneaten dog or cat food outside, rest assured, raccoons and opossums and rats will find it, and they will return again and again. If you've got a swimming pool with a
shallow step, you can bet that raccoons will enter the pool to wash and poop. Make sure your pool has an intact screen around it! If you've got fruit trees, especially citrus trees, you can bet that animals will
eat the fallen fruit - rats love it! In fact, in the state of Florida many people refer to the Roof Rat (rattus rattus) as the Citrus Rat. And those bushes or trees next to the home - they make an easy path for
animals to climb onto your roof, where they find open vents and other areas to enter your attic. A lot of wildlife are arboreal - they relate to trees - so it's an easy step from the tree they're living in to your
roof. However, when it comes to wildlife prevention, nothing is more important than making sure that your home is 100% sealed against critter entry. This means finding and sealing, with steel, all of the holes and
gaps and openings in the home that animals can use to get into the architecture. If you've got an animal problem, we'll catch and remove them all, and make sure that the house is 100% sealed against any future entry.
As usual, prevention is the best cure.
