How We Can Help
What to Do When an Animal Invades Your Home
Encountering wildlife inside your home can be unsettling, but knowing how to handle the situation calmly and effectively is crucial.
If an animal finds its way into your home, take the following steps:
- Prioritize safety by keeping a safe distance from the animal for yourself, your family, and your pets. Avoid approaching or cornering the animal, especially if it appears sick, injured, or aggressive.
- Contain the animal, if possible, by closing doors and blocking escape routes to prevent it from wandering further into your home and causing more damage.
- Create an escape route if safe by opening windows or doors to the outside, allowing the animal a clear path to leave. Most wildlife will exit on their own if they can; however, animals that are large or aggressive should not be approached under any circumstances.
- Contact California Exterminating Services for safety risks, aggressive behavior, or specialized removal needs. Call our team. Our technicians handle various wildlife species safely and humanely.
Remember, prompt and appropriate action is vital to resolving wildlife intrusions effectively and minimizing potential risks to both your home and your family.
Common Home-Invading Animals
Your home could become an attractive shelter for several types of wildlife, especially in adverse weather conditions or due to the availability of food. Understanding which creatures are more likely to seek refuge in your home can help you better prepare and prevent unwanted animal guests.
Here are some of the most common home-invading animals:
Each of these animals can pose unique challenges and risks when they decide to make themselves at home in your space. Luckily, we know how animals like these and more operate and can make quick work of an invasion.
Preventative Measures to Keep Wildlife at Bay
Maintaining a wildlife-free home requires proactive measures to discourage animals from seeing your property as an attractive shelter or source of food.
Here are some practical tips for preventing wildlife from entering your home:
- Secure food sources: Ensure that all food waste is securely stored in sealed bins that wildlife cannot access. Do not leave pet food outside, as it can attract animals.
- Trim trees and shrubs: Overhanging branches can provide easy access to your roof for animals like squirrels and raccoons. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed away from your house.
- Install chimney caps and vent covers: Secure your chimney and any exterior vents with caps or screens to prevent birds, bats, and squirrels from entering.
- Maintain a clean yard: Reduce the attractiveness of your property to wildlife by removing debris such as leaf piles and keeping your grass cut. Store firewood away from your home's foundation.
- Use motion-activated sprinklers: These can help deter animals, such as raccoons and opossums, from entering your yard by startling them with bursts of water.
By implementing these preventative measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of wildlife entering your home. However, should you encounter an unwelcome animal, California Exterminating Services stands ready to take your home back with proven solutions.
