Connecticut's climate patterns dictate seasonal wildlife movements. Cold winters encourage rodents, squirrels, and bats to seek refuge inside attics, basements, and wall voids for warmth. During spring and summer, raccoons, skunks, and various bird species become more active, often nesting or foraging near homes. Our process involves identifying the species, pinpointing entry points, and implementing humane removal and exclusion techniques to provide a long-term resolution. Understanding the local housing stock, often older homes with more potential entry points, is also key.
