Why Did The Critter Pick My House?

Wild animals look for a safe place they can nest from protection from the elements and predators. Due to their habitats shrinking up from subdivisions and other structures like factories or strip malls being built, they are having trouble finding a place to stay in the wild.

Animals will pick a house that is near their food source and easy to access. However, there are times when an animal will pry into your house by pulling back shingles or your siding. This has nothing to do with your house in particular, it really is just a random choice the animal made.

When you do have a home with easier points of entry, the animal picks your home because it can get inside with little to no trouble. These points of entry are typically your siding, missing shingles, and roof/attic vents. In our experience, 9 times out of 10 an animal found its way into a home one one of these few ways.

Making sure your house is sealed properly will go a long way in making sure you don't have unwanted animal visitors. If an animal did find its way into your home, contacting a professional pest control company will be your best bet at riding your home from it. Making sure the repairs are done properly is always going to increase your chances this won't happen again.
