Professional wildlife removal doesn’t slow down in the winter. While some animals hibernate for the cold months, pests will always try to find a way to shelter in a home. Man-made structures are prime real estate for critters of all shapes and sizes. This article will explore how winter weather affects wild animal removal.
Trapping Animals in the Winter
Wildlife professionals are well-trained at finding potential entry points for animal intruders. Animals may leave tracks or burrow through snow. Fresh tracks in the snow can help identify a critter or lead us to their hiding spot. However, snow can obscure breaches in your home made by hibernating animals.
Damage Caused by Snowfall and Cold Weather
Breach points in your home can create further complications throughout the winter. Holes in your roof can let snow and snow melt in, creating water damage. The water can leave lasting damage that can seep into other areas of your house. Mold and mildew can grow in the warm climate of a home, even during the colder months. Breaches in the home can lead to energy waste and heat loss. Animals scurrying within your walls can also cause gaps in insulation. Critters that enter ventilation systems can reduce air quality and the strength of your central air unit.
Animals Stay Where They Feel Safe
Some homeowners may think a pest animal will leave when the weather warms up in the Spring. But houses can be ideal dens for wild animals. Many critters will continue to live in an area that is warm, dry, and safe. Even worse, they may be in your home during the mating season. Once they give birth to a litter, it will be even less likely that they want to leave of their own accord.
