Squirrels, skunks, raccoons, bats, and groundhogs are examples of wildlife living in large numbers throughout the state of Connecticut. Wild animals are not domesticated, meaning they are perfectly capable of living outside without human intervention. However, this is not to say that wildlife won’t take advantage of any short cuts we provide them, such as trash cans full of delicious food to feast on, temperature-controlled homes to nest or hide in, trees to climb, and woodpiles to nestle in.
If wild animals have discovered food, water, or shelter in your yard or home, it can be challenging to get rid of them. Wild animals are very persistent and don’t get deterred easily. While they may want to live with us on our property, we don’t want to live with them. Wildlife can be dangerous and destructive.
Wild animals dig through our lawns and gardens, tear through trash, and make holes in our homes. Once inside, wild animals tear through insulation and wires, damage drywall and structural wood, and leave behind large quantities of shed hair and waste.
Wild animals also introduce bacteria, disease-causing pathogens, and parasites to our yards and homes. Skunks, raccoons, and bats are known carriers of rabies. Minimize contact with wildlife to minimize health risks to you, your kids, and pets.
To survive, many wild animals have had to learn to live near people. Our Connecticut homes have become a respite for wildlife, offering safe shelter and easy access to various food sources. Unfortunately, their presence often leads to damage and the spread of disease, which is why we can’t allow them to stay on our properties. Some of their favorite places to forage for food and what initially attracts them to our properties include trash cans, recycling bins, compost piles, pet food, outdoor eating areas, gardens, and fruit trees.
Depending on the species, wild animals live in various habitats, usually in places providing shelter and close to food and water. Unfortunately, our yards offer many different wildlife a place to nest and call home, such as trees, woodpiles, brush piles, overgrown gardens, roof eaves, and areas under decks. Some will also take up residence under foundations, sheds, and other outbuildings.
Wild animals also move into our homes and garages. Secluded areas away from the hustle and bustle of your family are favorite places for wildlife to nest. Attics, basements, closets, crawlspaces, wall voids, and chimneys make suitable hideouts for wild animals.
